|
||||
lost in the rushed release of 0.5.4

|
||||

|
||||
o file based cd plugin from ashridah. oggs, wavs and midis can now be used
|
||||
for background music. default cd plugin for all platforms
|
||||
o qfdefs nuked. no longer needed as "standard" progs get resolved staticly
|
||||
o qfcc: better constant folding with auto-conversion between scalar types
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
model is default
|
||||
o qflight: support properties files for setting default light settings for
|
||||
different light entity types
|
||||
o while not yet perfect, qfprogs now works with qfo files
|
||||
o qfcc: better detection of function calls in binary expressions
|
||||
o qfvis: support old-style portal files again
|
||||
o Improvements in time accounting. Accurate to +-0.5ms, instead of -1,0
