That said, a lot has happened in the QuakeForge code-base. Main development has moved to github, the 32-bit software renderer removed, a Vulkan renderer added, and Ruamoko (sort of Objective-QuakeC) is shaping up to be a little more useful: a new instruction set (original v6 instructions still supported, of course), and even native support for geometric algebra, with plans for more to come. In fact, there are over 4200 commits since 0.7.2 released (oops).]]> http://www.quakeforge.net/ Wed, 23 Jan 2013 03:49 GMTQuakeForge 0.7.2 has been released.

0.7.1 turned out to be a bit of a train wreck. I apologize for the inconvenience. 0.7.2 is primarily a bug-fix release, but there are two rather significant new features:

Highlights:

• 64-bit windows target now supported (though untested).
• QF no longer mangles other engines' config files on windows
• Critical bug with incorrect key_dest fixed. (fixed in 0.7.1a)
• Critical bug incorrect handling of progs code fixed (windows builds)
• Alignment bug loading wav files fixed (affects only mips)
• Id style (r_particles_style 0) particle explosions fixed (windows)

For more details, see NEWS.

There was a 0.7.1, but before I got to do the announcement, I found a critical bug and thus rolled out 0.7.1a.

Highlights:

• qfcc now supports optimization with -O.
• Dynamic IMTs allowing more customization of the key binding system.
• Fixes for allowing QF to work with the excellent In The Shadows mod by Sock.
• BSP2 support.
• Various bug fixes and build system improvements.
• Can be cross-compiled for ps3-elf and mips-linux.

For more details, see NEWS.

Changes:

• An exception when exporting a model with no image textures has been fixed
• Vertex normals are now exported
• Multiple vertices sharing the one UV coordinate now work as expected
• Quads and n-gons automatically get converted to triangles.
• The model's location, rotation and scale are now non-destructively applied to the mesh (optional, default) before exporting.
• If no frame information is available via the export script, Blender's frames 1 to the current frame (inclusive) will be exported as individual frames.

Highlights:

• OpenGL alias model shadow fixes.
• MDL import/export addon for blender has been properly packaged.
• GLSL fog fixes.
• Instant console raise/lower.
• noclip physics changes.
• Intermission and level change fixes.
• Automatic quick save backups.
• QuakeC-VM improvements
• Up to 128 dlights
