DD Mmm 17 - 1.49

add: new CNQ3 download system that uses checksums to get the right pak files
  the CNQ3 download system will use the WorldSpawn map server for inexact queries
  (when loading demos or using /dlmap) when the CNQ3 map server doesn't have the file

  system | speed | cases               | source(s)     | file availability | server requirements
  -------|-------|---------------------|---------------|-------------------|--------------------
  CNQ3   | fast  | pure servers, demos | map server(s) | not guaranteed    | none
  id     | slow  | pure servers only   | the Q3 server | guaranteed        | sv_allowDownload 1

chg: cl_allowDownload can be used to select the download system
  cl_allowDownload  0 = downloads disabled
  cl_allowDownload  1 (default) = CNQ3 download system
  cl_allowDownload -1 = id's original download system

add: new commands for manually initiating and canceling fast downloads:
  dlpak  <checksum> to download a pak by its checksum if the pak doesn't exist locally
  dlmap  <map_name> to download a map by name if no map with such a name exists locally
  dlmapf <map_name> to force download a map by name
  dlstop            to cancel the download in progress, if any

fix: r_fullbright is no longer latched and actually does its job

fix: r_lightmap is now archived and actually does its job

add: r_greyscale to control how monochromatic the final image looks
  r_greyscale 0 (default) = full color (nothing done)
  r_greyscale 1 = monochrome
  r_greyscale ]0 1[ for linear interpolations between the 2 extremes

add: com_completionStyle to select the auto-completion style
  com_completionStyle 0 (default) = always print all results
  com_completionStyle 1 = cycle results like Enemy Territory's console

chg: cvars and commands are alphabetically sorted

fix: commands registered by cgame no longer auto-complete after the cgame qvm has shut down

chg: removed r_stencilbits, r_depthbits, r_colorbits, r_texturebits and r_ext_compressed_textures

chg: using stb_image to load png and tga images

fix: libjpeg errors no longer shut down the engine

add: m_accelStyle to control the mouse accel style and m_accelOffset for style 1
  m_accelStyle 0 (default) = legacy CNQ3 accel style
  m_accelStyle 1 = new accel style, similar to quake3e's cl_mouseAccelStyle 1

add: sv_minRebootDelayMins to control early server reboots (default: 1440, minimum: 60)

fix: broken rendering when the 2nd stage of a collapsed shader stage pair had non-white colors

fix: shader stages using "wave" were not animated when the server time was too large

add: con_scaleMode specifies the console text scaling mode
  con_scaleMode 0 (default) = text size scales with con_scale but not the resolution
  con_scaleMode 1 = text size scales with con_scale and the resolution
  con_scaleMode 2 = text size is always 8x12

chg: con_scale only specifies the console text scaling factor and nothing else

fix: the pukka3tourney2 slime wasn't green with r_vertexLight 1

fix: the ct3ctf1 grate near quad was getting picmipped when it wasn't supposed to be

fix: improved the player name look-up behavior for these commands: kick, banUser, dumpuser
  if 2 players had the same name, it would just pick the first one (lowest client number)

fix: multi-view mouse input sensitivity is now the same as in the UI for CPMA 1.50

chg: replaced monitor gamma by a post-process gamma shader and removed r_ignorehwgamma

chg: removed stereo rendering

chg: anti-aliasing sample count is set with r_msaa on all platforms (on Windows, it was r_ext_multisample)

chg: file system start-up will now verify the presence and integrity of baseq3/pak0-8.pk3 instead of only pak0

add: command history saving with con_history (default: 0)

chg: replaced id's Huffman codec code with something both simpler and much faster

add: improved multi-monitor support and added r_monitor to select the monitor
  r_monitor is the 1-based index of the monitor to use
  r_monitor 0 (default) = use the primary monitor
  r_monitor N = use monitor number N

fix: fixed the start-up console window staying visible when starting in full-screen

add: crash handlers with crash report generation

chg: tweaked console scrolling speeds, fixed backtip insertion on Windows

chg: improved level load times

add: improved auto-completion with support for map names, bind key names, etc

chg: sound fall-off is linear instead of using a power function

add: 64-bit support

chg: switch from libjpeg 6 to libjpeg-turbo

chg: remove the byzantine r_mode usage added in 1.47


Windows:

add: in_minimize registers a hotkey to minimize/restore the client
  key names must be separated by white space and there can be at most 2 modifier keys
	
add: auto-completion and command history in the dedicated server console window

add: new bindable key: BACKSLASH (the key to the right of the left shift button)

fix: the crash handler will reset the system timer resolution

fix: if requesting a resolution too high for the display, the image would be offset vertically

chg: updated mouse input for better grab (de-)activation and fixed window dragging not working

chg: reduced raw mouse input latency and added cl_drawMouseLag

fix: in raw mouse input mode, keeping any button pressed while focusing the window would keep
  the cursor visible even after releasing all buttons


Linux:

add: automatic dedicated server process restarts for crashes and timed reboots (sv_minRebootDelayMins)
  this means 2 CNQ3 processes run per server: a parent (fixed pid) and a child (new pid after each restart)
  this behavior can be disabled by passing "nohardreboot" as a command-line argument

fix: tty handling of the leading "]" character

fix: dedicated servers no longer insert a leading backslash when running auto-completion

fix: the crash handler will reset tty input mode correctly

chg: tty input behavior matches in-game behavior when cgame is running and fixed the truncated tty input

fix: clear modifier keys on focus change to avoid ctrl/alt/shift being "stuck"

chg: new Linux mouse input code, support for raw input with XInput 2
  in_mouse 0 = no input
  in_mouse 1 = raw input (XInput 2)
  in_mouse 2 = normal input (XWindows)
  m_device to select a device explicity when using raw input


17 Sep 11 - 1.47

add: backported another bunch of dlight stuff from the pmx branch
  adds support for bmodel entities (doors, plats, etc)

add: back directInput mouse (in_mouse 2)

add: back flare support

add: disable/enable windows keyboard shortcuts

add: cnq3 windows can minimize/restore

add: dynamic light by GLSL shaders

add: r_maplightBrightness (from 0 to 8) and r_maplightSaturation(0-4). to use this parameters set r_maplightColorMode 1.

add: r_maplightColorMode to configure lightmaps

add: r_mode can be set resolution and frequency display. For example, r_mode "640x480@100"

fix: in_mouse -1 kept relocating the system cursor even if not focused

fix: implement the sound change from 1.45 *correctly*  :P

fix: default build does not create option r_smp. To assemble the build 
      with the option r_smp need to use preprocessor USE_R_SMP

fix: small fixes to CVA rendering code

fix: fix opStack and rename targets for unix

fix: GTV/spectator can't change POV after map changed

fix: render shader time overflow (fix splashdamage bug).

fix: mouse event queue


24 Nov 09 - 1.46

add: hopefully worked around some vistajoke mousewheel issues

add: m_limit (default: 0 = off), the maximum post-accel speed to use

chg: sensitivity renamed to m_speed

chg: rewrote pretty much all the mouse code

chg: removed the DI code in favor of "raw" mouse input
  this means only mouse1-mouse5 are supported on windows, sigh MS...

chg: updated freetype from 2.3.5 to 2.3.11


05 Nov 09 - 1.45
note: this release REQUIRES arb shader support
  if your card doesn't have it, use an older version

add: hw gamma should work on Vista

add: r_measureoverdraw is actually useful

add: r_speeds is far more useful now

chg: sound attenuation is biased
  i.e. distant sounds are much louder than in 1.43
  since it's still more correctly spatialised than pre-1.43, this is
  the best compromise i can come up with

chg: r_fullbright works in vertexlight mode (only)
  instead of lightmap only, where it just wasted bandwidth and vram

chg: r_customwidth, r_customheight renamed to r_width, r_height

chg: hardcoded r_mode garbage and modelist removed:
  r_mode 0 (default) = current desktop resolution, depth, hz, etc
  r_mode 1 = custom resolution etc
  note: r_mode 1 WILL NOT tolerate invalid r_displayRefresh values any more

chg: require opengl 1.4 or higher
  removed r_allowExtensions, r_primitives, r_ext_compiled_vertex_array,
  r_ext_multitexture, r_ext_texture_env_add

chg: removed a bunch of useless/obsolete cvars:
  r_logfile, r_showcluster, r_facePlaneCull, r_ignoreFastPath, r_drawSun,
  r_simpleMipMaps, r_offsetFactor, r_offsetUnits

chg: don't tablist cheatvar noise if cheats are off

chg: removed the last bits of legacy altivec cruft

chg: rewrote pretty much all the dlight stuff
  not only does it actually work reliably now
  but it's also massively improved in terms of quality

fix: ignorehwgamma 1 would fail to apply sw gamma to some images

fix: roqs failed to apply sw gamma

fix: sv_floodprotect could block all commands indefinitely


12 Aug 09 - 1.44 (server only)

fix: unbannable player exploit (stanway/auriemma)


08 Aug 08 - 1.43

fixed sfx0 using a real sound and thus "hiding" it

corrected sv_pure back to CVAR_ROM

added the correct "fastsky!=0 == disable portals" test, ffs me  :P

removed long-obsoleted r_lastValidRenderer

removed long-obsoleted r_ext_gamma_control

removed pointless cl_forceavidemo

removed r_rail* and marked the never-used RT_BEAM etc as such

removed RAVENMD4 completely

r_fullbright is not a cheat var

fixed a bug with CVAR_CHEAT

fixed another bug in \video (hopefully)

fixed distance culling on dlit patch seams

changed r_ext_max_anisotropy default to 16

added con_scale for console font scaling
0 = Q3 style, always 8x12 pixels regardless of screen rez
1 = Q4 style, scales with screen rez
!0 = scale with screen rez and a custom multiplier

straightened out the con cvar mess:
cl_noprint -> con_noprint
scr_conspeed -> con_speed and correctly CVAR_ARCHIVE
con_notifytime correctly CVAR_ARCHIVE
removed cl_conXOffset since it basically doesn't work

sleep correctly if an unfocused client (win32-only)
don't sleep INcorrectly if a dedicated server (win32-only)

fixed a (huge) memory leak in the vm

fixed sv_pure 1 problems on listen servers

another overhaul of the sound code:

spatialisation is now correct, which has two huge impacts:
  you can "place" sounds MUCH more accurately than before,
  but as a result, distant sounds are MUCH quieter

removed s_doppler, it's almost right but it just sounds like shit

most of the s_mixprestep hackery has been removed, and you can
probably set it to 0 if your sound drivers work properly

OAL support has been dropped completely and indefinitely
  it's crap and i'm tired of it poisoning the codebase


Mar 08 - 1.42

bots are no longer kicked by devmap

legacy cack like joystick/midi support only pollutes configs if enabled

fixed a memory leak in the sound code

fixed even more (hopefully all) dropped sound issues in snd_dma

made com_soundmegs SLIGHTLY less broken: now only 2x instead of 3x  :P
note that "soundmegs" are taken FROM THE HUNK now to fix the leak
so you need to increase com_hunkmegs by 2x your com_soundmegs

removed the explicit and incorrect "fastsky==1 == disable portals" test

r_noportals is not a cheat var

hyperspace is a bit less annoying

purged the unused (never finished) idMD4 model code

fixed some bugs in referencedpak list generation

fixed roqs ignoring s_volume

fixed widescreen modes crashing on listen servers

fixed downloads not completing properly


18 Feb 08 - 1.41

removed all bs references to GT_SINGLE_PLAYER and ui_singlePlayerActive
(except from the bot code, which has bigger problems)
added sv_singleplayer

improved TTF overhead a lot: now as fast as crappy bitmap fonts  :D

removed the stupidity of every key aborting demo playback: now ESC only

only play the id logo cin the FIRST time, not every fkn time

removed the broken stencil/projection shadow code

avis produced by \video actually work (bug+fix both from ioq3)

fixed some ABSURD buffer overruns and broken code in snd_dma
which caused random dropped sounds for no reason
it's a miracle it doesn't segfault any real OS
also dumped the unused-since-TA adpcm/mulaw/etc cruft

fixed a TA-era (surprise, surprise) bug that broke loopsound behavior

loop (ie ambient) sounds are now 75% volume

q3config is NEVER autowritten just because of bind/cvar changes
it sucks if you're playing and it sucks even more if you're on GTV
UI/SP code should write it EXPLICITLY if they want to save something


19 Dec 07 - 1.40

the code now requires a C++ compiler
MASSIVE cleanups of the codebase, tho still plenty of bits left

screenshot filename is YYYY_MM_DD-HH_MM_SS-TTT
this means they'll never collide *; moviemakers won't run out;
and the engine DOESN'T STAT 10,000 FILES EVERY FRAME
(* except at 2am on an autumn night if you're amazingly unlucky :P)

demo filename is YYYY_MM_DD-HH_MM_SS

fixed demos to be MAX_OSPATH instead of MAX_QPATH, ie 256 chars now

renamed cl_mouseAccel to m_accel

removed ioq3 "qkey" rubbish

removed support for BMP and PCX

removed fs_cdpath, fs_copyfiles, touchfile, fs_restrict

removed support for IPX

removed in_logitechbug

updated cpu detection

added TTF support

fixed a bunch of stuff in ScanAndLoadShaderFiles, but it's still crap

fixed the patch collision epsilon bugs of 1.34

reverted to id's tab-completion since ioq3's is so hated
i've semi-merged them atm, will fix up when i get time

interpreted vm is never used on platforms that support compiled vm

clampmaps and nomip images use GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE rather than GL_CLAMP

disabled curl until it's brought up to standard

merged platform-specific *_net.* into qcommon/net_ip.cpp, <3 timbo  :)

fixed USERINFO vars not being sent properly during connect

remove some network stuff (buffer sizes and TOS) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/248611


12 Sep 07 - released as 1.34, since it was about time we did  :P

increased default MAX_POLYS to 8K and MAX_POLYVERTS to 32K


Aug 07

fixed a bug in the skybox code that tried to use a 0-length CVA
which makes recent nvidia drivers go into spaz mode 

changed r_ext_multisample default to 0 to stop ix nagging  :P


July 07

added support for curl

improved some network stuff (buffer sizes and TOS)

added support for mouse5-mouse8


1 May 07

remove broken useless cl_freezeDemo and make demo pausing work
just use timescale 0


27 Apr 07

ripped out all support for legacy substandard hw/drivers (ie Voodoo etc)
and r_maskMinidriver

uncorrected mode 8 back to 1280x1024



18 Jul 06

r_simpleMipMaps: 0
s_useOpenAL: 0

default fs_game to cpma


30 Jun 06 - initial build from ioq3 svn v810

mode 8 corrected to 1280x960

undefined USE_OPENAL

removed GetUserName call

removed stupid+broken r_dlightbacks

created dlight texture correctly

fixed the dlight code

removed the explicit and incorrect "vertexlight==1 == disable dlights" test

removed redundant r_ext_texture_filter_anisotropic

removed retarded cl_consoleHistory

removed redundant cl_autoRecordDemo

shader spew made developer 1

gl extensions spew made developer 1

pak list made fs_debug 1

removed the TA cvars that were hacked into the engine

reordered demo_protocols to reduce spew
