major change to ACS's workings. However, I had an epiphany yesterday and just had to do this, since it seems like too big a deal to hold off until a later release:
- Dynamically generated strings returned via strparam and get(user)cvar now last as long as they
need to. They do not disappear at the end of each tic. You can now safely store them in
variables and hold on to them indefinitely. In addition, strings from libraries no longer
require you to load the exact same libraries in the exact same order. You can even store a
library's string in a world variable and retrieve it on another map that doesn't load the
library at all, and it will still be the correct string.
- ACS library IDs now only get 12 bits instead of 16 so that each string table can hold up
to about a million strings instead of just 65536. This shouldn't be a problem, although it
means that save games that had strings with the larger IDs stored in variables are no
longer compatible. Since many saves don't involve libraries at all, and even many that do
are not actually affected, I'm not bumping the min save version. The worst that can happen
is that you get no text at all where some was expected.

once in the level struct and then use that for sectors with a NULL skybox. This fixes zpack's
E2M3 so that when it removes its sector stacks, you will get the default skybox in their
place, since stacked sectors and skyboxes use the same pointers in a sector.

so when you return to it without leaving the hub, it will be as if you had never set foot in
it. RememberState is provided to turn this flag off.

for multiplayer: They now always check through the eyes of every player. For players whose
cameras are not players, they also check through the eyes of those cameras.
- Using spynext/spyprev to switch from a non-player to a player now writes a command to the
network stream and lets Net_DoCommand() take care of it later. The logic here is that if
a player is viewing from something that isn't another player, then every player needs to know
about it for sync purposes. Consequently, when they stop viewing from a non-player and switch
to a player, everybody needs to know about that too. But if they are viewing from a
player, it doesn't matter which player it is, so they can spynext/spyprev all they want
without letting the other players know about it (and without potentially breaking demos--due
to the above-mentioned two codepointers--while doing it during demo playback).
- Replaced the instances of checking players[consoleplayer].camera for a valid pointer to
ones that do it for every player.
- Fixed: Upon changing levels, all players but the consoleplayer would have their cameras NULLed.
- Fixed: player_t::FixPointers() needs to bypass the read barriers, or it won't be able to
do substitutions of old objects that are pending deletion.
SVN r3448 (trunk)
- added DECORATE properties for accuracy and stamina.
- Since these changes move properties from player_t to AActor all savegame compatibility code was removed and the min. savegame version bumped.
SVN r3427 (trunk)
- The 'savebuffer' variable still existed?
- Changed AInventory::Destroy to NULL SendItemUse and SendItemDrop if they point to the destroyed object. Although unlikely it can't be ruled out completely that this can happen with delayed CCMDs.
- fixed: Starting a new game did not clear the hub statistics array.
SVN r3034 (trunk)
* Font and color for map name can be set if it's not a titlepatch
* 'Finished' and 'Entering' can be either patches or a printed text in all gamees now.
* Font and color for 'finished' and 'entering' text can be set.
* moved 'finished' and 'Now entering:' texts into string table.
SVN r2981 (trunk)
- Added character alignment parameter to font monospacing.
- Fixed: character shadows were not scaled.
- Heretic keys now have an icon associated with them so that they can be drawn through drawkeybar.
- Replaced the built in Heretic and Hexen status bars with SBarInfo equivalents.
SVN r2353 (trunk)
of this:
* A cluster's flat definition can now be preceded by a $ to do a string table lookup.
* Since the standard flat names are now in the LANGUAGE lump, the normal Dehacked substitution
for these is no longer handled specially and so will not be automatically disabled merely
by providing your own MAPINFO.

changing game code.
- made SpawningMapThing an argument of AActor::StaticSpawn instead of a global
variable.
- added a stub to the DECORATE parser for defining dynamic lights directly
in DECORATE. This is needed so that ZDoom remains compatible with any DECORATE
which uses this GZDoom feature in the future.

that were changed some time ago.
- fixed: The damage inflictor for a rail attack was the shooter, not the puff.
- Fixed: Floor and ceiling huggers may not change their z-velocity when seeking.
- Fixed: UDMF set the secret sector flag before parsing the sector's properties,
resulting in it always being false.
- Renamed sector's oldspecial variable to secretsector to better reflect its
only use.
- Fixed: A_BrainSpit stored as the SpawnShot's target the intended BossTarget,
not itself contrarily to other projectile spawning functions.
A_SpawnFly then used the target for CopyFriendliness, thinking it'll be the
BossEye when in fact it wasn't.
- Added Gez's submission for a DEHACKED hack introduced by Boom.
(using code pointers of the form 'Pointer 0 (x statenumber)'.
- fixed: Attaching 3DMidtex lines by sector tag did not work because lines
were marked by index in the sector's line list but needed to be marked by
line index in the global array.
- fixed: On Linux ZDoom was creating a directory called "~.zdoom" for
save files because of a missing slash.
- fixed: UDMF was unable to read floating point values in exponential format
because the C Mode scanner was missing a definition for them.
- fixed: The recent changes for removing pointer aliasing got the end sequence
info from an incorrect variable. To make this more robust the sequence index
is now stored as a hexadecimal string to avoid storing binary data in a string.
Also moved end sequence lookup from f_finale.cpp to the calling code so that
the proper end sequences can be retrieved for secret exits, too.

velocity, and now it's known as such. The actor variables momx/momy/momz
are now known as velx/vely/velz, and the ACS functions GetActorMomX/Y/Z
are now known as GetActorVelX/Y/Z. For compatibility, momx/momy/momz will
continue to work as aliases from DECORATE. The ACS functions, however,
require you to use the new name, since they never saw an official release
yet.
SVN r1689 (trunk)
- Added MF6_NOFEAR flag.
- Added A_MonsterRefire(probability, jumptarget).
- Added A_JumpIfTargetInSight(state) action function.
- Changed: Puffs set their angle to face the originator of the attack.
- Strife's burning hands originally make the level view fullbright.
changed in ZDoom to do partial brightening.
SVN r1642 (trunk)
cryptographically secure random number generator, if available, instead
of the current time.
- Changed the random number generator from Lee Killough's algorithm to the
SFMT607 variant of the Mersenne Twister.
