 +==== All games ====
 +
 +  *  Turn speed did not consider "always-run".
 +  *  Do not animate the view window when first entering a map.
 +  *  During an [[autostart]] the screen was not cleared after completing initial startup before beginning the load sequence, resulting in "color smearing".
 +  *  "Incorrect blast damage calculation". http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2929822&group_id=74815&atid=542099
 +  *  On entering a map after having left a previous one, the player's HUD weapon would be visible briefly before raising from the lowered position as expected.

 +
 +

 +  *  "Secret levels fail to load". http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2926459&group_id=74815&atid=542099
 +  *  On map start statusbar counters are initially hidden.
 +  *  On map start statusbar health chain only animates up to your actual health level once per game session, instead of every time.
 +  *  [[warp]] did not work until after the first game had been started.
 +  *  "Scrolling flats too slow". http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2947141&group_id=74815&atid=542099
 +  *  Main game menu positioned vertically eight pixels too low.
 +  *  "Intermission counter offsets". http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2801114&group_id=74815&atid=542099
 +  *  "Chicken beak psprite yoffset incorrect". http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2980013&group_id=74815&atid=542099
 +  *  Restored the correct behavior: using the gauntlets causes the player to move toward the target. The player is unable to back away. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2578612&group_id=74815&atid=542099
 +  *  Restored the correct behavior: when morphed to a chicken the player jumps occasionally and the view randomly twitches left to right. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2804105&group_id=74815&atid=542099
 +
 +
 +==== Hexen ====
 +
 +  *  When warping between maps the automap is left open. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=542099&aid=2947152&group_id=74815
 +  *  On map start statusbar counters are initially hidden.
 +  *  On map start statusbar health chain only animates up to your actual health level once per game session, instead of every time.
 +  *  Statusbar health chain not drawn exactly as it appears in the original game.
 +  *  When gibbed, the Stalker's arm would fly out at high speed in a random direction. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2970432&group_id=74815&atid=542099
 +  *  "Switch doesn't open up before Caves of Circe". http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2853242&group_id=74815&atid=542099
 +  *  "Death Wyvern movement broken". http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2855075&group_id=74815&atid=542099
 +
 +
 +===== Changes =====
 +
 +
 +==== Engine ====
 +
 +  *  Changed [[cvar]] [[rend-dev-mobj-bbox]] Draw bounding boxes for all mobjs, not just those which are sector-linked.
 +  *  Changed default mipmapping filter to linear filter, linear mip (GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR).
 +
 +
 +==== All games ====
 +
 +  *  On selecting Quit from the main menu the screen now gradually fades to black while the quit sound plays (if enabled) before exit.
 +
 +
 +==== DOOM ====
 +
 +  *  Removed three unused sound identifiers that are not present in the original game: wsplash nsplash blurb
 +  *  Added a new sound identifier "secret" to be played upon the player locating a secret area. The same sound is still played by default but the new identifier allows modders to change them independently.
 +
 +
 +==== Heretic ====
 +
 +  *  Items picked up by the player during map setup will not produce item-pickup sounds or screenflashes. Pickup messages will be added to the log as normal.
 +  *  Added a new sound identifier "secret" to be played upon the player locating a secret area. The same sound is still played by default but the new identifier allows modders to change them independently.
 +
 +
 +==== Hexen ====
 +
 +  *  Removed fixed limit MAX_ACS_STORE. At most, twenty deferred [[actionscript|action script]] starts could be in affect at any given time.
 +  *  It is now possible to [[warp]] using the console if a game has not yet been started. In this instance a new game is initiated using the default skill and player class.
 +
 +
 +===== New features =====
 +
 +
 +==== Engine ====
 +
 +  *  Added a plugin hook that gets called during every run of the game loop (HOOK_TICKER). The length of the current tick is passed in the data argument as a pointer to timespan_t (i.e., double*).
 +  *  Transition effects. When busy mode ends a transition effect may be drawn to blend between the screen shown whilst busy and the destination frame. Implemented three effects: 1) basic crossfade 2) Smoothed DOOM screenwipe 3) DOOM screenwipe. jDoom uses the smoothed DOOM screenwipe by default. Other games use crossfade.
 +  *  [[cvar]] [[con-transition]] Transition effect used when leaving busy mode: 0=Crossfade, 1=DOOM (smooth), 2=DOOM
 +  *  [[cvar]] [[con-transition-tics]] Duration of transition effect in tics. 0= Disabled.
 +  *  Smoothing of per-linedef angle lightlevel deltas. Approximated rounded surfaces are lit more realistically when using the sector lighting model. Default value for [[rend-light-wall-angle]] is now 1.2f as the new smoothing makes this less noticeable.
 +  *  [[cvar]] [[rend-light-wall-angle-smooth]] 1= Enable wall angle lightlevel delta smoothing (enabled by default).
 +  *  [[cvar]] [[rend-dev-polyobj-bbox]] 1= Render polyobj bounding boxes (for debug).
 +
 +
 +==== Heretic ====
 +
 +  *  Support for [[voodoo_doll]]s.
 +  *  [[cvar]] [[server-game-plane-fixmaterialscroll]] 1=Fix bug in original Heretic which would only allow scrolling materials on planes to move east (enabled by default).
