===== Fixes =====


==== Engine ====

  *  Fixed: "Segfault when starting jdoom with music" (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2772636&group_id=74815&atid=542099).
  *  Fixed: Repeated playback of the same music track broken when using sdl_mixer or the CDAudio interface of dsWinMM (e.g., the DOOM title sequence if no demos are played/available).
  *  Fixed: If a music interface is not present but CDAudio interface is; playback via CDAudio not possible.
  *  Fixed: Logic error which resulted in mobjs hidden behind one-sided walls visible from the other side when they should not be.
  *  Fixed: Rendering glitch with shiny surfaces that do not specify a mask texture.


==== Common code library ====

  *  Fixed: "DED Reader: Failing to locate State definition" (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2725357&group_id=74815&atid=542099).


=== Message log ===

  *  Fixed: "msgrefresh" not working.
  *  Fixed: Rarely, a game message would not be displayed.


=== Automap ===

  *  Fixed: [[thing]]s not visible in the automap after a resolution change.


=== InFine ===

  *  Fixed: When clearing the InFine state stack before beginning a new game, always change the game state to GS_WAITING. This fixes the problem of "Before" InFine scripts not working when used for the first map.
