#### 2024-02-04: _dhewm3 1.5.3 Release Candidate 1_
A first Release Candidate of the upcoming 1.5.3 release is available!
This brings support for **gamepads**, as long as they're supported by SDL2. This includes XBox Controllers
(and compatible ones), Playstation 3-5 controllers, Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers, many thirdparty
controllers for those consoles, and lots of other gamepads for PC.
Furthermore, dhewm3 now supports taking **screenshots in different formats**: TGA (like before), BMP, JPEG and PNG.
Last but not least, there were several **bugfixes** and other small improvements, see the list below for details.
You can **[download it at Github](https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/tag/1.5.3_RC1)**
(incl. builds for Windows and 64bit Linux).
**Changes since 1.5.2:**
* Support for gamepads (based on code from [Quadrilateral Cowboy](https://github.com/blendogames/quadrilateralcowboy),
but heavily expanded). See [Configuration.md](https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/blob/master/Configuration.md#using-gamepads)
for more information.
* Support different file formats for screenshots by setting the `r_screenshotFormat` CVar
(0 = TGA, still the default, 1 = BMP, 2 = PNG, 3 = JPG). `r_screenshotJpgQuality` and
`r_screenshotPngCompression` allow configuring how JPG/PNG are compressed.
Thanks *eezstreet (Nick Whitlock)*!
* Fixed problems with lights after loading a savegame ([#495](https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/495))
* Fix volume of some weapon sounds, like chaingun being too quit ([#326](https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/326))
* Increase stack size on Windows to 8MB (instead default of 1MB) to make loading huge models work
* Fixed crash in Radiant Model Preview Dialog ([#496](https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/496))
* Fix MD3 model support
* Several new CMake options:
- To enable Clang/GCC Address Sanitizer and Undefined Behavior Sanitizer
- Hardlink the game code into the executable (instead of using game DLLs,
only supports base *or* d3xp then; needed for Undefined Behavior Sanitizer)
- Force colored diagnostic output from GCC or Clang (esp. useful when building with ninja)
* Fix several compiler warnings
* Probably more bugfixes I forgot to list here..
* Added build instructions for Linux (and similar systems) to [README.md](https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3?tab=readme-ov-file#compiling-example-using-ubuntu)
* Updated stb_image and stb_vorbis
* Updated bundled libs in build for Windows: OpenAL Soft 1.23.1, SDL 2.30.0, cURL 8.6.0, zlib 1.3.1
* Linux binary build now requires SDL 2.0.12 or newer (I provide an updated `libSDL2-2.0.so.0` though).
If you compile dhewm3 yourself, older SDL2 versions (and SDL1.2) are still supported
(however, SDL1.2 doesn't support gamepads)
