- Since voxels can have their origin behind the viewer and still have a
portion visible in front of the viewer, they aren't clipped to MINZ like
face sprites are. The 3D floor handling in R_DrawSprite() neglected to
clamp it when recalculating the diminished light colormap.
- Aside, but R_DrawSprite() probably shouldn't be messing with these
properties at all. Why isn't this done in R_ProjectSprite() before it
ever gets to the drawing part?
- The old algorithm is something I threw together that produced decent,
but not spectacular results since it had a tendency to waste space by
forcing everything onto "shelves".
The new packer is the Skyline-MinWaste-WasteMap-BestFirstFit algorithm
described by Jukka Jylanki in his paper *A Thousand Ways to Pack the Bin - A
Practical Approach to Two-Dimensional Rectangle Bin Packing*, which can
currently be read at http://clb.demon.fi/files/RectangleBinPack.pdf
This is minus the optimization to rotate rectangles to make better fits.
- Did anybody actually use this? Use WildMidi instead if you want
something that sounds more like Timidity++ without actually being
Timidity++, since not even the old Timidity manages that.
- Use functions in gitinfo.cpp to retrieve the strings from gitinfo.h so
that changes to gitinfo.h only require recompiling one file instead of
several.
but only supports three pan positions and not the full 127 MIDI pan positions.
- Added opl_core cvar to select emulator core. 0 is MAME and 1 is DOSBox.
- Added DOSBox's LGPL OPL core, distantly related to one adlibemu.c written by Ken Silverman
(not to be confused with the ancient MAME-derived and GPL-licensed core also found in DOSBox).
I believe this corresponds to their "compat" emulator, but I'm not sure.

major change, so I'm making no provisions for using older FMOD DLLs when compiled with the
4.38 API. However, sound positioning is still broken like in 4.28, so you are recommended
to continue building with 4.26. Also, the Freeverb-based DSP unit is no longer present in
FMOD, so the underwater effect is currently unavailable when using 4.38 until I can figure
out how to make it work with the SFX Reverb unit instead. (And on that topic, the Freeverb
DSP was officially only for stereo outputs, so I really shouldn't have been using it in the
first place.)
- Since I would like to eventually figure out the sound positioning issues with the newer
FMODs, the following have been added:
* snd_drawoutput now labels its outputs with the speakers they represent.
* DCanvas::DrawTextA was added as an alias for DrawText, since the Windows headers #define
DrawText to a Unicode/non-Unicode variant.
* The loopsound console command was added to spawn an actor at the player's location and
have it loop a sound infinitely.
Hopefully I can figure it out. FMOD's 3D example works, so I assume the problem lies with
my code, though I don't really know where to begin looking for the problem.

Includes:
- Made the move tried from checking missile spawns ignore drop off height. This solves the Voodoo Gun ghostly civilian issue.
- Fixed: the NOTELEPORT flag is removed from Dehacked missiles which lose the MISSILE flag. This caused problems with certain special effects based on dehacked spawn cubes.
- Fixed: all Boom silent teleporters preserve relative height.
- support for palette independent particle colors if the renderer can handle them.
