NEWS for quake2
===============
0.4 (Whenever)
---
* New ALSA sound driver. See Bug#27.
* Netgraph is slightly smaller, with transparent background, and is drawn
behind the players stats. See Bug#4.
* Netgraph no longer breaks transparent console. See Bug#4.
* fs_basedir now honors PKGDATADIR and PKGLIBDIR, so mods can be
installed like everyone is used to (e.g. /usr/local/share/quake2/ctf)
See Bug#8.
* fs_gamedir is exported to environment as QUAKE2_HOME on startup.
Mods may safely use this variable to perform file io in their respective
homes.
* Timedemo is disabled in deathmatch mode, and readonly in dedicated
mode. Timedemo in dm is not only stupid, but it can crash the server :)
See Bug#28.
* The rocket launcher is now eligible for selection when a player runs
out of ammo. It was previously skipped. This is a long-standing bug
from id's original game source. Affects both ctf and baseq2 games.
See Bug#29.
* FS_OpenFile now ensures a file is a regular file before returning it. This
fixes a known server crash (e.g. cmd download maps) See Bug#30.
* Fixed Win32 path bug in download command that could allow retrieval
of sensitive information (e.g. cmd download \/server.cfg). See Bug#30.
* Fixed unchecked strcpy in Cmd_TokenizeString which could allow
arbitrary code execution. See Bug#30.
* link command is now jailed to fs_gamedir, fixing an exploit to allow
random filesystem access to players with rcon (e.g. rcon link /etc foo;
download foo/passwd). See Bug#30.
* Fixed unchecked memcpy in Cbuf_Execute which could allow arbitrary
code execution. See Bug#30.
* Unix-like cmd/cvar completion. All potential matches for commands
and cvars are printed on tab. Nothing is appended to the input buffer
unless it is an exact, or only, match. Commands are printed in green,
cvars in white.
* A toggle option for _windowed_mouse is now available in the OpenGL
video menu. The cvar is defaulted to "1" for glx and sdl_* renderers,
as it helps some configurations (read: NVidia). See Bug#12.
* configure.in no longer globbers OpenGL and SVGALib CFLAGS. This
was causing problems on FreeBSD. See Bug#25.
