Woof! 8.1.0
-----------
- The engine is now able to load any map between E1M99 and E99M99 or MAP00
and MAP99, respectively, without necessary UMAPINFO support, e.g. by
means of the IDCLEV cheat or the -warp command line parameter (@rfomin).
- The current and next map are now reported when the IDCLEV cheat is
entered without a target map number (PrBoom+).
- The -noload and -noautoload parameters were added which prevent
autoloading of WADs and DEHs.
- Double-click acting as "use" has been fixed for subsequent clicks
(regression introduced in 8.0.0).
- Textures are now only composed of patches that are in the range of known
patches, fixes a crash at startup with t-drought_RC2.wad.
- The maximum screen width in widescreen mode is now capped at 1120 px
which corresponds to a 21:9 ratio in hires mode.
- The implementation of the Lost Soul bounce fix has been brought in line
with PrBoom+ (@rfomin).
pkgsrc change: drop ruby26 support.
0.18.0 / (2021-10-26)
Features:
* Placeholders! Missing images to svg and png can be replaced by a
placeholder (#339)
* New config option: img_missing. When an image is missing, warn or error to
the console (#339)
* save_sheet learned how to rotate individual images! (#301)
Compatibility:
* Because of the features above, the new default behavior is to warn instead
of errors on a missing file
* Ruby 2.7 is officially our minimum Ruby, since Ruby 2.6 will EOL in about
six months from now
Woof! 8.0.0

ECWolf is an advanced source port of the Wolfenstein 3D engine based upon
Wolf4SDL with some back ports from ZDoom. It provides substantially boosted
capabilities for creating mods without requiring source code edits using
scripting and other tools familiar to users of ZDoom.
For players it offers modern features such as support for modern control
schemes and wide screen. Being based on the Wolfenstein 3D engine and using an
enhanced version of the original software renderer, it provides a relatively
accurate play experience to vanilla while modernizing.
Currently supported games are Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, and Super 3-D
Noah's Ark.
The original game data files are required for operation. These are files with
the extensions *.n3d, *.sod, *.sd2, *.sd3, *.wl1, or *.wl6.

Announcement:
GemRB 0.9.0 released! (A view to the future edition)
The GemRB team is proud to announce a new major release.
Over six years in the making, growing in scope with time, the
subviews branch was a true monster. But the quest to lay it to rest
has now been successfully completed, among other things modernizing
the GUI, drawing and input handling. For most use cases, there is
no need for the Widescreen mod any more (see screenshot or video
explainer).
The SDL2 backend is now mature and default, OpenGL support is not
experimental any more, most benefiting Mac users. Additionally, in
the last minutes between the merge and this release, Python 3
support was added and our demo received an ending.
If you don’t believe that this is a big upgrade, consider just the
changes from the branch. It included 3527 commits, 668 changed
files, and over 30,000 changed lines of code. That’s about every
fifth line!
Full changelog digest:
GemRB v0.9.0 (2021-06-18):
New features:
- basic resolution independence
- python3 support
- arbitrary window dragging support
- improved debug console
- subtitle support for BIK videos
Improved features:
- window management, drawing and input handling
- performance: SDL2 video playback, general and text rendering
- smoother movement animations, demo
- bugfixes
Thanks to everyone that contributed their time and wit, including:
Bernd Schmidt, Brad Allred (main author), Diego J., fizzet, FrElvire,
Jaka Kranjc, Laurie Chilvers, m7600, MarcelHB, Northfear, Rodrigo
Santellan.
Notes to packagers:
Python 3 support has been added.
SDL2 is now the default backend and anyone still on SDL1 is encouraged
to switch.
If you are packaging from git sources, not the archive, either run
make fetch-demo-data first or manually include the files. These
are (currently two) bigger assets kept in a separate repository.
Configuration notes (details):
* key TooltipDelay was deprecated (was unused, there is an ingame option)
* key ScriptDebugMode was renamed to DebugMode and received more values
* key FogOfWar was deprecated for GCDebug
* new key GCDebug can be used to draw various debug features of maps
* new key TouchInput for force disabling or enabling…

Announcement:
0.9.14 Polish release
This is a "stable" release, focusing on bug fixes and polishing
the recent v0.9.13 release. New changes include the following
* Numerous typo fixes
* Fixes to how several missions are offered to the player
* Better suggestions of possibly incomplete conditions in some
missions' "visit" dialogues
* Differentiation between two Remnant engines' reversing capabilities
* Certain Navy shipyards now stock the Dropship
* Ships that have no specified "drag" attribute default to 100,
rather than causing crashes
* Weaponry that alters the ship's status conditions (e.g. ionization)
now respects the required minimum value of 0
* The "interrupt fast-forward" preference defaults to off
Some minor improvements were added to help support plugin authors
and content creators:
* Quarg planets now have regional attributes to enable better
targeting via missions
* Missions that fail to be instantiated print more informative
messages in the error file
* Large numbers of missing image frames no longer pollute the error
file
0.9.13: Unstable release
This is an unstable release, containing big changes that may
introduce new bugs.
Breaking changes:
* Starting conditions no longer automatically override the game's
default start. Plugins that use a "start" node will need to make
changes to restore the previous behavior.
Major new changes include the following:
* 70+ new missions in human and alien space
* Outfits can now be stored on planets, without needing to install
them on a parked ship
* An overhaul of almost all human outfit images
* Players can now choose their starting scenario
* Spaceport news messages no longer include portraits by default
* Better handling for missing content definitions (e.g. from plugin
removal)
Several features have been added to the game engine, for use by
plugins and other content creators. These include:
* Dynamic stopover selection will consider planets without spaceports
* A number of new outfit and weapon attributes, offering shield/hull
multipliers, weapon aiming & firing overrides, percentage-based
damage, and additional damage mitigation
* Arbitrary angles for hardpoints, engine flares, and fighter bays
* NPCs' objectives can now include provocation or capture
* Mission NPCs can be conditionally spawned or removed without
needing to change the player's active missions
* Missions can react differently when the player aborts a mission,
and when the player fails a mission
* Missions can give ships to the player
* Systems may generate environmental hazards, control the range at
which ships enter, and be hidden on the map

into a wall or he is revived near a wall.
Details: doc/replays-testcases/Original level 2 falling into wall.txt
Testcase: doc/replays-testcases/Original level 2 falling into wall.p1r
See FIX_ENTERING_GLITCHED_ROOMS in config.h .

the level was restarted.
Details: See FIX_LEVEL_14_RESTARTING in config.h .
DONE: Waste an RNG cycle in loose_shake() to match DOS PoP.
DONE: In new replays, use deprecation_number = 2. On playback, waste
the RNG cycle only if deprecation_number >= 2.
Older replays have deprecation_number <= 1, and we don't waste
the RNG cycle when playing them back.
DONE: When backing offscreen (to the left) from the first guard on
level 7 (among others), simulate the glitch from DOS PoP, which
causes the prince to fall through the floor.
Details: See https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP/issues/229
FIXED: On Windows, use Unicode/UTF-8 for stat().
So SDLPoP can load levels from mod folders when a replay file
restarts the level or advances to the next level.

Taisei v1.3.2 Released! 2021-05-01 10:00
It's been a long time since the last update, but the project is still alive and
well! In fact, we're busy working on some large updates for v1.4, which we will
post about soon. Unfortunately, v1.4 isn't quite finished yet, but today we
bring you a long overdue maintenance update for the v1.3 branch.
As usual for maintenance releases, it consists of various bug fixes,
optimizations, and non-gameplay affecting features backported from the v1.4
development tree. As such, v1.3.2 remains replay-compatible with the original
v1.3 release.
A few highlights include:
* The web version should finally be playable again. It has been broken for a
while due to a change in recent Chromium versions, resulting in a black
screen in-game. This release finally addresses that problem.
* Fixed some rendering errors, including the Stage 1 water effect on Intel
iGPUs and incorrect laser blurring.
* Fixed major performance issues on macOS with AMD GPUs. This involved
working around a long-standing AMD OpenGL driver bug on macOS.
* Improved support for high-DPI displays. Taisei should no longer be upscaled
by the OS on all supported platforms.
* Slightly optimized various parts of the engine, including 3D and text
rendering.
* Added GameMode integration on Linux. If you use Feral Interactive's
GameMode daemon, GameMode will now be automatically activated when you
start Taisei.
* Fixed some portability problems, mostly for macOS, Switch, and Emscripten
builds.
* Updated the SDL game controller database, enabling out-of-the-box support
for even more controllers.
