BCC script compiler (https://github.com/wormt/bcc/) is now bundled with GZDB.
Main Form, "File" menu: only existing files are now added to the "recent files" list.
Preferences: added "Capitalize texture names" option (located in Preferences -> Appearance -> Additional options). When disabled, the casing of displayed texture names will match filenames for textures loaded form TEXTURES or pk3/pk7/folder resources.
Textures Browser: added support for displaying long texture names.
Errors list is now cleared when reloading resources.
Visual mode: added basic support for sector slopes (no UI for that feature yet).
Snippets: changed token syntax from $XX to [XX]
[LB] (Line Break) marker can now be used in snippets.
Game Configurations: added "enabledbydefault" parameter. When set to true, a game configuration will be available by default (e.g. when an user starts the editor for the first time).
GZDB will no longer throw an exception when trying to update default value in a TypeHandler, which doesn't implement default value handling.
"Preferences -> Editing -> When splitting a linedef" setting is now always used when splitting linedefs.
"Preferences -> Editing -> When splitting a linedef": added "Reset X and Y" option.
"Preferences -> Editing -> Auto-align textures of newly created linedefs" option now works in a more intelligent fashion.
Make Door action: door and track textures are now stored while the editor is running.
Edit Selection Mode: pasted geometry was not merged with the rest of the map if the selection was not modified before applying the mode.

Interface: added "Draw [stuff]" buttons to modes toolbar.
Interface: reorganized main menu. Hope it makes more sense now.
API: added General.Interface.AddModesButton() and General.Interface.AddModesMenu(), which can be used to add buttons to specific group in "Modes" toolbar and menu items to specific group in "Modes" menu, so actions, which behave like an editing mode, but are not part of one can be added there.
Game Configurations: added "fixedrotation" property to "Polyobject Anchor" (9300), "Polyobject Start Spot" (9301), "Polyobject Start Spot (crush)" (9302) and "Polyobject Start Spot (hurts to touch)" (9303) actors.

Removed a bunch of unused variables.
Configurations: all 64 game configuration are now available by default.
Game Configurations window: game configurations can now be disabled. This setting is mostly cosmetic. When a game configuration is disabled, it won't be shown in "game configuration" dropdowns in New\Open Map Options and Map Options windows. If a map's .dbs file specifies a disabled configuration, it will be picked as a map configuration anyway.
Linedefs mode: vertex insert preview logic used Highlight range instead of Stitch range (which is used when draw mode engages).
Visual mode: double-sided middle textures were not selected when using "Select" action with "with same texture" modifier.
Textures: some optimizations in patch blending code.

Reverted "Delete Item" action to the way it worked in DB2.
Added "Dissolve Item" action, which works the way "Delete Item" worked in previous revisions of GZDB.
Added "Auto Clear Sidedef Textures" action, "Edit" menu and toolbar button, which toggle automatic removal of sidedef textures when floor or ceiling height is changed or when geometry is drawn, copied or pasted.
Draw Settings panel: upper/lower texture overrides can now be used.
Draw Settings panel: added 2 sets of buttons, which allow to quickly set or clear textures in current selection.
Things are now rendered behind AND on top of the grid/linedefs/vertices when they are dragged.

UDMF: Sector and sidedef flags are now copied/pasted when using "Copy Properties" and "Paste Properties" actions.
Fixed: in some cases default texture overrides were used even when corresponding option was disabled.
Sector Edit form: light and fade values were not saved when a value was pasted/entered into text box.
Sector Edit form: "reset value" button was not shown for light and fade values when selected sectors had different light/fade colors.
Reverted Open Map form changes from previous commit (my assumption that map marker is always empty was not correct...)
Updated documentation.
"Snap Map Elements to Grid" mode now tries to fix invalid geometry after vertex snapping.
Vertices mode: in some cases not all vertices were removed when deleting vertices.

Enhanced scripting workflow.
Thing and linedef arguments can now have default value in configuration files.
Fixed laggy visual camera movement on systems with big uptime.
Fixed incorrect alignment of Things with "hangs" flag in GZDoom Visual mode.

Updated to Doom Builder 2 SVN rev. 1564:
- Improved stuck thing error checker: now takes vertical position of things into account (where applicable).
Added "Test Map from current position" action (default shortcut is Ctrl-F9), which lets you play the game from cursor position, if you are in 2D-Mode, and from camera location if you are in Visual Mode.
Added "Sync camera position between 2D and 3D modes" (found in Preferences -> Interface -> Options), which automatically centers 2D-mode on camera position when you leave Visual Mode, and places camera at cursor position when you toggle from 2D-mode to Visual Mode (unless you have Visual Mode camera thing in your map).
Several improvements in Draw Rectangle and Draw Ellipse modes: added info label with current bevel amount and subdivision level; bevel amount now applied properly when shape size is smaller than it.
Dynamic lights defined in GLDEFS are now rendered in Visual modes (currently only one light per Thing is supported).
Several values from (Z)MAPINFO are now used in Visual modes.
Added "Reload GLDEFS", "Reload (Z)MAPINFO" and "Reload MODELDEF" menu options (in "Tools" section).
MODELDEF parser now checks which model(s) is/are used in first frame.
Dynamic lights are now created with more meaningful default parameters.
Added errors and warnings indicator to main window.
Added "Dynamic light size" slider, which matches GZDoom's "Light size" option.
Added "Dynamic light intensity" slider, which matches GZDoom's "Light intensity" option.
Fixed Vavoom light rendering (was rendered as additive light, light radius was twise smaller than in GZDoom)
Fixed bug in light rendering introduced in v1.03 (light radius was set to -1 when switching from 2D to 3D mode).
Increased dynamic lights rendering performance (currently I'm getting around 25 FPS in Spawn's MAP01 with 32 dynamic lights and rendering distance set to 3000, was getting 4-6 FPS in GZDoomBuilder 1.02).
Several fixes in animated lights rendering (secondary light radius can now be smaller than primary light radius, Pulse Light's maximum radius was rendered twise bigger than in GZDoom).
Added two new type handlers that can be used in UDMF ('Thing Type' and 'Thing Class')
Polished the browse icons and browse buttons.
Added more events for plugins to intercept.
When a DECORATE actor's title begins and ends with double quotes, they are now removed.
Fixed an issue with the DECORATE actor 'game' property (it was inherited like all other properties, but it shouldn't)
@ added a texturenamelength config var. Setting it to higher than 8 may result in unexpected behaviour due to the speed optimizations relying on 8 char texture names and should not be changed for now.
- Fixed highlight and selection in visual mode when shader model 2.0 is not available
- Added option to turn off glow animation of highlight and selection in visual mode
