5.0.0 (2017-??-??)

Removed features

  • DeuSF.

  • -man troff format generation.

  • WinTex options.

  • -fullsnd: now the only mode.

  • MS-DOS and OS/2 compatibility.

  • Incomplete (and conditioned out) Rise of the Triad support.

File format support

  • PNG support added, creating an optional dependency on libpng 1.6. If compiled in, it is the default extraction format, PPM otherwise.

  • Au and VOC sound formats removed. WAV is the only supported format for extraction and creation.

  • Full sound lumps from the WAD are always extracted.

  • MIDI files can be included just by being named *.mid, and are extracted to the same file name extension.

General

  • Log file support has been removed, in favor of the user doing a shell redirection (eg, with > or 2>) instead.

  • Arch-vile sprites are now extracted and inserted using literal names for sprites with the [ and ] characters in names (illegal file name characters on DOS, but not current Windows systems), and sprite names with \ are now altered to use ^ on-disk, matching the ZDoom PK3 standard.

  • Graphics with a height > 128 and < 256 are now inserted into Doom WAD files correctly.

  • UDMF (Universal Doom Map Format) support.

Build systems, code standards

  • Real Autoconf+Automake build system to replace the barely-functioning imitation one. ./configure, make, and related environment variables work as should be expected.

  • MS-DOS and OS/2 batch files removed.

  • A malloc.h include was removed to allow compilation on Mac OS X, and is not needed by current Unix systems in general.

  • Thousands of lines of code deleted and the entire tree reformated (primarily by using indent -kr, followed up by manual touch-ups). Several unused files, functions, and commented out code removed.

  • C99-style cleanups to use (u)intN_t types, bool, true, false throughout the code, replacing old defines.

  • AsciiDoc now used for documentation, and building the manpage requires it to be installed.
