+1.4.0 (2010-??-??):
+
+ The biggest change in this version is the addition of OPL
+ emulation. This emulates Vanilla Doom's MIDI playback when
+ using a Yamaha OPL synthesizer chip, as was found on
+ SoundBlaster compatible cards.
+
+ A software OPL emulator is included as most modern computers do
+ not have a hardware OPL chip any more. If you do have one, you
+ can configure Chocolate Doom to use it; see README.OPL.
+
+ The OPL playback feature is not yet perfect or 100% complete,
+ but is judged to be good enough for general use. If you find
+ music that does not play back properly, please report it as a
+ bug.
+
+ Other changes:
+ * The REJECT overflow emulation code from PrBoom+ has been
+ imported. This fixes demo desync on some demos, although
+ others will still desync.
+ * Warnings are now generated for invalid dehacked replacements of
+ printf format strings. Some potential buffer overflows are
+ also checked.
+
1.3.0 (2010-02-10):
* Chocolate Doom now runs on Windows Mobile/Windows CE!
