Coordinates are now floats in network protocol (bloats it yes, but the accuracy allows unlimited map size, and smoother movement at very high framerates)
prints dump of last 32 svc messages in packet when client encounters unknown svc (corrupt or mis-parsed network stream)
some aesthetic cleanup of tempentity parsing
rewrite of COM_FileBase
default gl_lightmaprgba to 1 (driver speedup (data bloat, but drivers are often more optimized for it), thought I defaulted it to 1 all along, but apparently not)
model names no longer use COM_FileBase (thus they are the full name, like "progs/blah.mdl" rather than "blah", "maps/start.bsp" instead of "start", etc)
fixed bugs in model colormapping, and added external skin texture support (example: progs/blah.mdl_0_normal.tga and progs/blah.mdl_0_glow.tga, pants and shirts are also supported)
support for textures inside HL maps, and the transparent color has been fixed (HL checks for pure blue, not index 255)
default r_dynamicparticles to 1 (light smoke/blood)
improvement in angled corner sticking situations (still get a little bump as you pass through, but not actually stuck)
fixed rotation support in MOVETYPE_FOLLOW, now works perfectly
extended description length in hunk headers (50 characters now)

Fix for exit segfault preventing fullscreen cleanup, and for the segfault as well.
Also enables dga mouse support, and adds in_dga_mouseaccel. DGA support needs testing.

improved TraceLine in chase.c to be more generally useful (should move it to another file, though)
error checking in qmalloc/qfree
expanded COM_LoadFile max filename length from 32 to 1024
improved COM_LoadFile error messages
added COM_ToLowerString and COM_ToUpperString
.zym model support (not quite complete, in development)
unfinished transition to hardware model transforms (not used yet)
changed polylists to draw 5+ point polygons as GL_POLYGON instead of GL_TRIANGLE_FAN (I thought I had reverted to GL_POLYGON a long time ago... strange) for a minor speedup
new explosion effect (no particles)
reverted to lightmapped dynamic lighting effects (vertex hybrid still available as r_dlightmaps 0)
extreme speed improvements in which wall polygons are lit
minor optimization to lightmap building (memset to clear blocklights)
added and disabled texture caching to disk (it turned out to be a slowdown and a massive waste of space, but kept in source form incase it is ever useful)
much improved missing QC function errors (most notably think)
partial redesign of the skin colormapping engine (not used yet)
more consistent light falloff on different objects
created and scrapped a new particle explosion effect (way too fillrate intensive), superseded by the new explosion effect
only dynamically lights smoke and blood particles unless r_dynamicparticles is 2
possible fix for alt-tab bug in NVidia drivers (from Dabb)

added back r_speeds2, with masses of information (6 lines high), and made it print to the screen rather than console print
changed fps reading to be integer, no fraction (is this desirable?) and moved it to bottom right corner
changed rendering order yet again
made sky and waterripple speed dependent on cl.time rather than realtime (undecided if this is desirable)
made console scrolling not subject to slowmo time scaling
some whitespace changes/cleanup
moved some registervariable definitions around
optional new worldnode function (r_newworldnode, defaults to off), very different approach, minimal speed differences... sigh
added backface culling on surfaces (r_nobacks, defaults to off), barely a gain
in worldnode, made 'trivial inclusion' case for all children nodes of a completely successful CullBox test, defaults to off because it was no speed gain even on the most complex maps I could find
readability cleanup and minor speedup in lightmap conversion
added host_minfps (if framerate drops below this it will be slowmo, this replaces quake's hardcoded 10fps limit)
added host_maxfps (limit your framerate if desired, defaults to 1000, this does affect timedemo)
improved slowmo behavior
optimized out most vec3_origin uses (created VectorNegate and VectorClear for this reason)
fixed VectorDistance (old definition didn't work correctly, but never got used anyway)
darkened blood trails a bit
split R_DrawParticles into R_MoveParticles and R_DrawParticles (for speed profiling reasons)
fix for extremely rare and probably unnoticable bug in particle compacter
fixed a number of prediction issues, prediction does not occur in local games anymore, prediction also made optional (sv_predict cvar)

better version reports (always mention build number)
minor cleanup of qpic system (loading and drawing)
minor improvement to lighting engine tweakability (LIGHTSCALE2)
minor cleanup to texture tracking (totaltexels now called texeldatasize)
r_texturestats texture size reports are now correct (was showing 4x what it should have)
r_texturestats report rearranged to put size on the left for easy sorting in console logs
cruft removal

got rid of Hunk_Alloc, all allocations now have a proper name (perhaps a bit too descriptive even), improved texture tally to list wasted skin layers (colormapping), made hunk names 24 characters instead of 8.

make screenshots rightside up again (or rather, upside down like TGA wants, which happens to be the output format of glReadPixels, a fact I was unaware of, so the flipping was turning it to rightside up, which is upside down in TGA... follow that logic? good :)

Fix for image replacement in sprites, now the sprite extension is stripped before the frame names are generated (so naming for s_explod.spr is like s_explod_0.tga, s_explod_1.tga, etc) and the extension stripping in the image loader will only strip off .lmp or .pcx or .tga, not other extensions, the sprite extension stripper is similar but for .spr and .spr32.
