Crispy Doom 5.10.3 is based on Chocolate Doom 3.0.1 and has merged all changes to the Chocolate Doom master branch up to commit 3524a67d.

Crispy Doom 5.10.2

Crispy Doom 5.10.2 is released on Aug 10, 2021. It is a minor release introducing basic accessibility features and accumulated fixes since the previous release.

New Features and Improvements

• Smooth automap rotation and srolling have been implemented (by @JNechaevsky).
• Autoload directories for PWADs are now supported (thanks @OpenRift412 for the suggestion and @rfomin for the prior implementation in Woof!).
• Basic accessibility features have been added and can be toggled in the Accessibility menu of the setup tool:
  • Flickering Sector Lighting (disables sectors changing their light levels)
  • Weapon Flash Lighting (disables weapon flashes changing the ambient light levels)
  • Weapon Flash Sprite (disables rendering of weapon flashes sprites)
  • Palette Changes (disables palette changes upon damage, item pickup, or when wearing the radiation suit)
  • Invulnerability Colormap (disables colormap changes during invulnerability)

Bug Fixes

• In NRFTL the TITLEPIC is only replaced with the INTERPIC if the former is from the IWAD (thanks @OpenRift412).
• Overlaid automap remainings are now cleared from the demo loop (by @JNechaevsky).
• Adjusting of the BLOCKMAP boundaries to match the Vanilla algorithm has been reverted. Although this was done in the Vanilla algorithm, it doesn't match what's done in the algorithms used by MBF and Boom - and thus PrBoom+ which uses the latter. This fixes sync for one demo reported by galileo31dos01 on 5L1C.wad MAP01.
• The Compatibility menu has been removed from the setup tool, it is obsolete for all games now.
• The translucency table is now always calculated at gamma level 0, fixing potentially incorrect entries (by @JNechaevsky).

Crispy Heretic

• The -demoext parameter (even though enabled by default) only applies to demos loaded on the command line.

Crispy Hexen

• Hexen: Restore pointers to mobj_t with garbage identity as NULL pointers (by @Dasperal).

Crispy Doom 5.10.2 is based on Chocolate Doom 3.0.1 and has merged all changes to the Chocolate Doom master branch up to commit 3524a67d.

Crispy Doom 5.10.1

Crispy Doom 5.10.1 is released on Mar 24, 2021. It is a minor release containing the accumulated fixes of the past weeks.

New Features and Improvements

• Some colored text has been reverted back to the pristine Vanilla experience. As a rule of thumb, UI that has been inherited from Vanilla does doesn't get any colorization anymore (thanks @OpenRift412).
• Screenwidth values are now rounded down to the nearest multiple of 4 in hires mode, and up in lores mode. This makes sure we end up with a screenwidth of 852 px for a 16:9 ratio in hires mode, which is exact twice the width of the widescreen assets, and with a screenwidth of 428 px in lores mode, which is the next integer multiple of 4 (thanks @buvk).
• A CMake toggle has been added for the truecolor mode (by @zx64).

Bug Fixes

• The weapon sprite coordinates now remain unchanged if neither variable bobbing nor weapon sprite centering is enabled. Coincidently, this will bring back the sloppy bobbing of the chainsaw weapon sprite during its idle frames.
• Interpolation of the Archvile's fire sprite is now suppressed to mitigate it being spawned at the wrong location.
• Status bar positioning, drawing of fullscreen patches and the bunny scroll screen have been fixed on big-endian systems.
• The window height is now prevented from shrinking when changing widescreen modes.
• The smooth automap lines features has been fixed for truecolor mode (by @zx64).

Crispy Heretic

• Weapon pickup messages are now shown in cooperative multiplayer mode (by @xttl).
• All Crispy Doom specific cheats have been ported over and adapted accordingly (by @xttl).
• An Automap overlay mode has been added.
• There are now separate mouse sensitivities for turn, strafe and y-axis.
• Heretic now has a "demowarp" feature, i.e. support for using both -playdemo and -warp on the command line (thanks @thom-wye).

Crispy Doom 5.10.1 is based on Chocolate Doom 3.0.1 and has merged all changes to the Chocolate Doom master branch up to commit 5003ab52.

Crispy Doom 5.10.0

Crispy Doom 5.10.0 is released on Jan 12, 2021. Its major new feature is the addition of support for the widescreen assets found e.g. in the Unity version of Doom.

New Features and Improvements

• Proper support for widescreen assets has been added (by @SmileTheory, thanks @ghost and @chungy).
• The bezel bottom edge to the left and right of the status bar in widescreen mode is now preserved (thanks braders1986 and @SmileTheory).
• Special treatment is now applied to the No Rest for the Living and The Masterlevels expansions - even during network games, demo recording and playback. This includes level transitions to the secret maps and back, finale text screens, par times, etc. (thanks Coincident and Keyboard_Doomer for input from the DSDA community).
• Menu scrolling with the mouse wheel has been improved to be more responsive (by @JNechaevsky).
• All textures are now always composed, whether they are multi-patched or not. Furthermore, two separate composites are created, one for opaque and one for translucent mid-textures on 2S walls. Additionally, textures may now be arbitrarily tall.
• Freedoom Phase 2 and FreeDM are now explicitly named in the Doom 2 Episode menu.
• The status bar is now redrawn in the Main, Episode and Skill menus, where it could get overridden by custom graphics (thanks @JNechaevsky).

Bug Fixes

• A crash has been fixed when the -record and -pistolstart parameters were used simultaneously (thanks Spie812).
• An optimization inherited from MBF has been fixed which led to sprites not being rendered on the lowest possible floor (thanks @retro65).
• Only non-sky flats are now checked for the swirling effect.
• Crushed non-bleeding monsters are not removed off the map anymore, their sprites are replaced with the invisible SPR_TNT1 instead (thanks ZeroMaster010 and sorry for the desyncing demo).
• Sigil is not auto-loaded anymore with the Freedoom Phase 1 IWAD, since Sigil's own texture definitions may clash with the ones from Freedoom (thanks @Some1NamedNate).
• A brightmap definition for an animated flat sequence in HacX has been fixed.
• Some fixes to the "--enable-truecolor" configure option have been implemented (i.e. the --disable-truecolor option, the rendering of the status bar bezel, fuzzy column drawing and the translucency factor - thanks xttl).
• Window height adjustment when changing window size has been brought back at the cost of the window shrinking when repeatedly changing the widescreen option.
• Parts of the status bar being visible during the initial wipe in widescreen mode has been fixed (thanks xttl).

Crispy Heretic

• The level restart key now restarts the current demo recording from the map it was started, but under a new name (thanks @thom-wye).
• Demo file names may now have arbitrary length (inherited from Chocolate Doom, also applied to the Hexen sources).
• The demo file size limit has been removed (also applied to the Hexen and Strife sources).
• The top border not always being drawn correctly in hires mode for all reduced screen sizes has been fixed (thanks @xttl).

Known Issues

• Users who insist on the pure Vanilla experience that was formerly applied to the No Rest for the Living and The Masterlevels expansions or who need it to properly play back demos recorded with a previous release will have to rename their PWAD files and explicitly load them on the command line.

Crispy Doom 5.10.0 is based on Chocolate Doom 3.0.1 and has merged all changes to the Chocolate Doom master branch up to commit b26157ac.

Crispy Doom 5.9.2

Crispy Doom 5.9.2 is released on September 22, 2020 to fix some more bugs and add some minor improvements.

New Features and Improvements

• Support for the "new" Nerve PWAD has been improved: If the Nerve PWAD is explicitly loaded and contains a TITLEPIC lump, use it - else use the INTERPIC lump. Consequently, if the Nerve PWAD gets auto-loaded and contains TITLEPIC and an INTERPIC lumps, rename them (thanks @buvk).
• Graphic patch lumps in widescreen format are now properly centered - but still squashed to Vanilla aspect ratio (thanks @buvk).
• A -pistolstart command line option has been added (by @mikeday0, thanks @Asais10).
• The tally screen is now shown after finishing Chex Quest E1M5 (thanks kokrean).
• Apparently random crashes have been fixed that occured when the (truncated) file name of a loaded demo happens to match the name of an already available lump. Now this lump name collision is detected and the offending demo lump renamed to DEMO1, which is most certainly always the name of a demo lump (thanks galileo31dos01 and plums).

Bug Fixes

• The Sigil PWAD is now only pre-loaded if the gameversion is The Ultimate Doom. This fixes a glitched texture file when Chex Quest is loaded as the IWAD (by @kitchen-ace, thanks Mr.Unsmiley)
• Check if the map name graphics lumps are actually from the Masterlevels PWAD before renaming them. This fixes an issue with unofficial Masterlevels compilations which do not contain these lumps (thanks @Dark-Jaguar).
• A string buffer size calculation bug has been fixed in the -levelstat implementation (thanks Eric Claus).

Crispy Heretic

• A -wandstart command line option has been added (by @mikeday0, thanks @Asais10).

Crispy Doom 5.9.2 is based on Chocolate Doom 3.0.1 and has merged all changes to the Chocolate Doom master branch up to commit f7007449.
