+2.0.0 (????-??-??):
+
+ This is version 2.0 of Chocolate Doom! This new version has some
+ major changes compared to the original 1.0 series:
+
+ * The codebase now includes Chocolate Heretic and Chocolate
+ Hexen. These are based on the GPL source code released by
+ Raven Software.
+ * Also included is Chocolate Strife. This was developed through a
+ mammoth four year reverse engineering project conducted by
+ James "Quasar" Haley and Samuel "Kaiser" Villareal. The result
+ is the most accurate reproduction of Strife to date, including
+ full demo and savegame compatibility. See README.Strife for
+ more information.
+
+ Minor features that are nonetheless worth mentioning:
+ * Chocolate Doom now includes a -statdump command line option,
+ which emulates the output of the statdump.exe tool. This is
+ used to implement a form of regression testing (statcheck) that
+ directly compares against the Vanilla behavior.
+ * Chocolate Heretic includes HHE patch file support, and I
+ believe is the first Heretic port to include this feature.
+ * GUS "pseudo-emulation" is now supported. This does not fully
+ emulate a GUS, but Doom's DMXGUS lump can be used to generate
+ a Timidity configuration file that plays music using the GUS
+ patch set.
+ * The setup tool now includes a built-in server browser, for use
+ when selecting a server to join.
+
+ Version 2.0 of Chocolate Doom has been in development for a long
+ time, and there have been many bugs fixed over this time, too many
+ to list here. Thanks to all the people who have tested it and
+ diligently reported bugs over this time. Your contributions have
+ been invaluable.
+
1.7.0 (2012-06-09):
* Fixed gnome-screensaver desktop file (thanks Rahul Sundaram).
