3.2 will be wrapped up and released as soon as I find and fix a
few more specific bugs.  Hopefully within a week.

3.2b1 = 3.2 beta 1

There is no 3.1 tree/branch.  The sources were tagged when 3.1 was
released.  It's done.  3.2 is the stabilization of 3.1.  That means
no new features; only bug fixes.

When you do a check-out or update use the -r (revision) option
to specify the mesa_3_2_dev branch:

	cvs update -r mesa_3_2_dev

The default, main trunc has the Mesa 3.3 sources.  There's been a LOT
of changes from 3.1/3.2 to 3.3.  3.3 is used for the DRI project.
That's where new development happens.

Yes, as I said in email yesterday.

No, as I wrote this morning you'll have to get a sourceforge login and
send it to me so I can add you to the project and enable CVS writes for
you.

No.  Visit mesa3d.sourceforge.net for the new CVS instructions.
