* Chocolate Doom now runs on Windows Mobile/Windows CE!
- * It is possible to rebind most/all of the keys that control
- the menu, shortcuts, automap and weapon switching. The
- main reason for this is to support the Windows CE port
- and other platforms where a full keyboard may not be present.
- * Memory-mapped WAD I/O is disabled by default, as it caused
- various issues, including a slowdown/crash with Plutonia 2
- MAP23. It can be explicitly re-enabled using the '-mmap'
- command line parameter.

+ * Chocolate Doom now includes a proper Mac OS X package; it is
+ no longer necessary to compile binaries for this system by
+ hand. The package includes a simple graphical launcher
+ program and can be installed simply by dragging the "Chocolate
+ Doom" icon to the Applications folder.
* The video mode auto-adjust code will automatically choose
windowed mode if no fullscreen video modes are available.
- * The zone memory size is automatically reduced on systems
- with a small amount of memory.
- * There is now a second, small textscreen font, so that the
- ENDOOM screen and setup tool can be used on low resolution
- devices (eg. PDAs/embedded devices)
- * The textscreen library now has a scrollable pane widget.
- * Doxygen documentation was added for the textscreen library.
- * The "join game" window in the setup tool now has an option
- to automatically join a game on the local network.

+ * Chocolate Doom includes some initial hacks for compiling under
+ SDL 1.3.
+ * Recent versions of SDL_mixer include rewritten MIDI code on Mac
+ OS X. If you are using a version of SDL_mixer with the new
+ code, music will now be enabled by default.
+ * Windows Vista and Windows 7 no longer prompt for elevated
+ privileges when running the setup tool (thanks hobbs and
+ MikeRS).
+ * The Windows binaries now have better looking icons (thanks
+ MikeRS).
+ * Magic values specified using the -spechit command line
+ parameter can now be hexadecimal.
+ * DOOMWADDIR/DOOMWADPATH can now specify the complete path to
+ IWAD files, rather than the path to the directory that contains
+ them.
+ * When recording shorttics demos, errors caused by the reduced
+ turning resolution are carried forward, possibly making turning
+ smoother.
Compatibility:
* The A_BossDeath behavior in v1.9 emulation mode was fixed
(thanks entryway)
+ * The "loading" disk icon is drawn more like how it is drawn in
+ Vanilla Doom, also fixing a bug with chook3.wad.
+ * Desync on 64-bit systems with ep1-0500.lmp has (at long last)
+ been fixed (thanks exp(x)).
+ * Donut overrun emulation code imported from Prboom+ (thanks
+ entryway).
+ * The correct level name should now be shown in the automap for
+ pl2.wad MAP33 (thanks Janizdreg).
+ * In Chex Quest, the green radiation suit colormap is now used
+ instead of the red colormaps normally used when taking damage
+ or using the berserk pack. This matches Vanilla chex.exe
+ behavior (thanks Fuzztooth).
Bugs fixed:

* Crash when saving games due to the ~/.chocolate-doom/savegames
directory not being created (thanks to everyone who reported
this).

* Sound clipping when using libsamplerate was improved (thanks
David Flater)
- * The audio buffer size is now calculated based on the sample rate,
