yquake2remaster/CHANGELOG

Quake II 5.34 to 6.00:
- Make the client asynchronous. The old behaviour can be forced by
  setting cl_async to 0. Please note that asynchronicity can lead to
  problems if the old SDL 1.2 backend is used and vsync is enabled.
- Implement gl_overbrightbits in the non multitexturing case.  A
  value of 1 just fixes lighting on water surfaces, higher values
  increase the brightness of everything.
- General renderer overhaul for better compatibility with modern GPUs.
  OpenGL 1.4 is now required, older versions are no longer supported.
  Multitexturing was deprecated and will be removed in a future 
  release.
- Fix some longstanding AI problems.
- Several general gameplay fixes.

Quake II 5.33 to 5.34:
- Add support for stereo 3D (by Valery Guskov)

  change the scale of the console and the menu.

  for Win64. This still needs some testing.
- Allow to shutdown the client by pressing ctrl-c
  or sending SIGTERM. Unix / Linux only.

  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

  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
