Thanks to + Fabian Greffrath for his careful investigation and emulation of + the demo game's behavior in developing this. + * OPL music playback has been changed to match the behavior of + Vanilla Doom's DMX library much more closely (thanks khokh2001). + * New gamepad configurations: + - PS4 DualShock 4 (thanks Matt '3nT' Davis). + - Xbox One controller on Linux (thanks chungy). + - "Super Joy Box 7" USB/PC gameport adapter. + * The Doom reload hack has been added back. See the wiki for more + context on this: http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Reload_hack + * The IWAD file from Strife: Veteran Edition is now detected + automatically (thanks chungy). + * It's now possible to build outside of the source directory + (thanks Dave Murphy). + * MSVC project files were brought up to date (thanks dbrackett16). + * M_StringDuplicate() has been added as a safer replacement for + strdup() (thanks Quasar). M_StringCopy() now handles short + buffers more gracefully. + * The netgame discrepancy window is now dismissed by pressing + enter to proceed, not escape (thanks Alexandre-Xavier). + * A couple of source files that were in the previous release and + were GPL3 have been replaced by GPL2 equivalents. Previous + releases that included these files should be retroactively + considered GPL3. + + Bug fixes: + * Lots of endianness fixes were integrated that were found by + Ronald Lasmanowicz during development of his Wii port of + Chocolate Doom, including a fix for a bug that could cause + monsters to become partially invisible. + * DeHackEd files without a newline character at the EOF are now + correctly parsed (thanks Fabian). + * An infinite loop that could occur in the weapon cycling code + was fixed (thanks raithe, Fabian). + * Mouse input triggered by cursor warp was fixed (thanks Super6-4). + * Loop tags in substitute music files are ignored if both of the + loop tags are equal to zero. This makes us consistent with + other source ports that support the tags. + * It's now possible to more conveniently play back demo .lmp + files with names that end in the all-caps '.LMP' (thanks Ioan + Chera). + * Some code that accessed memory after freeing it was fixed. Two + new parameters, -zonezero and -zonescan, were added to try to + help detect these cases. + * Mistaken assumptions about representations of booleans that + affected some ARM systems were fixed (thanks floppes). + * memcpy() uses on overlapping memory were changed to use + memmove(), fixing abort traps on OpenBSD (thanks ryan-sg). + * Hyphens in manpages were fixed (thanks chungy, Fabian). + * Lots of compiler build warnings were fixed (thanks Fabian). + + Setup tool: + * The setup tool now has help buttons for its various different + screens, which link to articles on the wiki that give more + information (thanks to chungy for helping to put the wiki pages + together). + * A fix was applied for a buffer overrun that could occur if the + user had lots of IWAD files installed (thanks Fabian). + * A crash related to username lookup was fixed. + * It's now possible to connect via the setup tool to multiplayer + servers that are not listening on the default port (thanks + Alexandre-Xavier). + + Doom: + * Sky transitions when emulating the id anthology version of the + Final Doom executable were fixed (thanks Fabian, chungy). + * Structure fields in the stair-building functions were fixed to + be deterministic, fixing a desync in mm09-512.lmp (thanks + Fabian). + + Hexen: + * A bug with texture names that had long names was fixed (thanks + ETTiNGRiNDER). + * Minotaur spawn time is now stored in little endian format, + fixing a bug that affected compatibility with Vanilla savegames + on big endian systems. + * Code that starts ACS scripts is no longer compiler-dependent. + + Strife (all these are thanks to Quasar): + * Sound priority was changed to match Vanilla, fixing a bug + that caused the Stalker enemies to make a constant ticking + sound (thanks GeoffLedak). + * Minor fixes to game behavior to match Vanilla, discovered + during development of Strife: Veteran edition. + * Inventory items beyond the 8-bit range are now allowed in + netgames. + * Automap behavior better matches Vanilla now. + * Multiplayer name changes were fixed. + * Sound origin behavior for switches was fixed. + * Teleport beacon behavior was fixed. + * Default Strife skill level and screen size were changed to + match Vanilla. + * Bug was fixed where Rowan would not always take Beldin's ring. + * Totally-invisible objects are now displayed correctly, and a + Vanilla glitch with Shadow Acolytes is correctly emulated. + * The level name for MAP29 (Entity's Lair) was fixed (thanks + chungy). + + libtextscreen: + * The main loop now exits immediately once all windows are closed + (thanks Alexander-Xavier). + * The large font is no longer selected based entirely on screen + size. + 2.1.0 (2014-10-22): Chocolate Doom now supports high-quality substitute music packs |
