yquake2remaster/CHANGELOG

Quake II 5.22 to 5.23:
- Provide gl_hudscale cvar that can be changed to
  scale the HUD, for high resolutions etc. (by caedes)
- Several menu improvements.
- A better work around for the "the mouse cursor hits the
  window border" SDL2 problem.

Quake II 5.21 to 5.22:
- Provide a fallback if SDL2s relative mouse mode
  cannot be activated.
- Add support for MSAA through the gl_msaa_samples
  cvar.

Quake II 5.20 to 5.21:
- Fix a bug regaring mouse key handling (reported 
  by phenixia2003)
- Correct MS Windows builds. Add official support
  for Win64. This still needs some testing.
- Allow to shutdown the client by pressing ctrl-c
  or sending SIGTERM. Unix / Linux only.

Quake II 5.11 to 5.20
- Integrate the refresher into the client and
  remove QGL. This means that ref_gl.so is gone
  and libGL is now linked like every other lib.
  (by Alejandro Ricoveri)
- Port the client to SDL 2.0. The newer SDL version
  solves some long standing problems, like broken
  keyboard layouts and non working SDL sound on
  Windows. While SDL 2.0 is enabled by default,
  one can switch back to SDL 1.2 by editing the
  Makefile.
- OS X support was put to hold. While OS X support
  is nice to have, non of the deveolpers has
  interest in maintaining it. Until someone steps
  up and takes responsibility, no OS X versions
  will be released.

Quake II 5.10 to 5.11
- A lot of bugfixes.
- Videos are scaled to 4:3 to prevent distortions.
- Another sound system cleanup.

Quake II 5.00 to 5.10
- Support for OS X. (by W. Beser)
- Correct field of view handling (by Ricardo Garci)
- Many improvements to the mouse release code (by svdijk)
- Scrolling save / load menus (by svdijk)

Quake II 4.21 to 5.00
- Backport to Microsoft Windows.
- Support for OpenBSD. (by Jonathan Gray)
- Aspect ration can be set via the video menu.
- A better random number generator.
- The SDL sound driver is now selectable by
  "s_sdldriver".

Quake II 4.20 to 4.21
- Fix several segfaults with OpenAL. (reported by 
  Joran and mxmvasilyev0)
- Add a file CONTRIBUTE.
- Some minor changes to the Makefile.

Quake II 4.10 to 4.20
- Add an options framework to allow disabling most
  option features (OGG/Vorbis, ZIP file loading,
  OpenAL, etc) at compile time.
- Integrate OpenAL support, enabling surround sound
  and better stereo sound calculations.
- Enforce the "C" locale to prevent libraries like
  broken LADSPA plugins to override it and break
  printf, scanf, etc.

Quake II 4.03 to 4.10
- Change the behavior of hotkey menus to fix some
  strange bugs and memory leaks in the menu system.
- Add the "gl_farsee" cvar. When set to "1" Quake II
  renders maps up to 4096x4096 units instead of being
  limited to 2300x2300. The default is "0". (by Richard
  Allen)
- Add support for the high resolution retexturing pack.
- Reenable support for gamma via SDL, since the upstream
  bug was fixed with SDL 1.2.15. Gamma via X11 can be
  forced by defining X11GAMMA at compile time.
- Add support for big endian architectures and enable
  the build on SPARC64 CPUs. (by Kieron Gillespie)

Quake II 4.02 to 4.03
- Fix wrong function call in the Quake II file system.

  to remote server.
- The game code received a code audit and major rework.
