This new version has some + major changes compared to the original 1.0 series: + + * The codebase now includes Chocolate Heretic and Chocolate + Hexen. These are based on the GPL source code released by + Raven Software. + * Also included is Chocolate Strife. This was developed through a + mammoth four year reverse engineering project conducted by + James "Quasar" Haley and Samuel "Kaiser" Villareal. The result + is the most accurate reproduction of Strife to date, including + full demo and savegame compatibility. See README.Strife for + more information. + + Minor features that are nonetheless worth mentioning: + * Chocolate Doom now includes a -statdump command line option, + which emulates the output of the statdump.exe tool. This is + used to implement a form of regression testing (statcheck) that + directly compares against the Vanilla behavior. + * Chocolate Heretic includes HHE patch file support, and I + believe is the first Heretic port to include this feature. + * GUS "pseudo-emulation" is now supported. This does not fully + emulate a GUS, but Doom's DMXGUS lump can be used to generate + a Timidity configuration file that plays music using the GUS + patch set. + * The setup tool now includes a built-in server browser, for use + when selecting a server to join. + + Version 2.0 of Chocolate Doom has been in development for a long + time, and there have been many bugs fixed over this time, too many + to list here. Thanks to all the people who have tested it and + diligently reported bugs over this time. Your contributions have + been invaluable. + 1.7.0 (2012-06-09): * Fixed gnome-screensaver desktop file (thanks Rahul Sundaram). |
