added gib shower effect, they leave no trails but make blood marks where they hit... (note: this is still highly experimental and cgame might be removed at some point, and no mods use this anyway)

got rid of buildnumber.c and buildnum program, now uses builddate.c (touched each time it is built to keep the date changing)
clientside TraceLine can now hit brush model entities (TraceLine_ScanForBModels updates list of entities to check)
added *highly experimental* clientside gamecode (currently embedded in the engine, just trying things out) which currently doesn't do anything really
made CL_RelinkEntities only called when the client is connected and there is a world model
added fractalnoisequick (variant of fractalnoise that does not allocate/free a temporary buffer, and to achieve this does not use the range remapping)
added stainmap effects (stained lightmaps), which will probably soon replace decals
spark showers now pay attention to the velocity in the TE_SPARKSHOWER packet (if the mod uses this), bullet impacts still have no velocity
added TE_PLASMABURN (combination of TE_SMALLFLASH and a stain on the walls)
added svc_cgame (DO NOT USE THIS, EXPERIMENTAL, but so is the cgame code itself)
Cmd_TokenizeString now uses a fixed size buffer instead of many little allocations (speedup by not having Z_Malloc/Z_Free happening constantly)
cvar code tries very hard to avoid reallocating string now
va() function now uses a cycling set of 8 string buffers to try to avoid conflicts
console logging no longer uses va()
reduced default mesh buffer size from 21760 triangles to 4096 (transparent triangles are costly enough it's not a good idea to exceed this anyway)
texture management code now uses 3 memory pools to give better memory reports according to type of data
R_UpdateTexture has better memory behavior on non-procedural textures now (replaces inputtexels if it has not been uploaded yet, otherwise just uploads it directly)
added -developer commandline option (which is rather hacky) to force developer on for entire startup process, to get logging before the configs are read
decals stick to brush model entities now
stains stick to embedded bmodels (ones that are part of the map, not ones instanced from outside like ammo boxes)
skingroups above 0 are not automatically precached now (if you have a lot of mods installed in your id1 directory, they tend to not use all the skins, which is wasteful)
starting a new game (from the singleplayer menu) forces deathmatch and coop to 0 now
lightmaps are precached again (can't remember why I ever disabled this)
changed VectorSet's parameter order to be more consistent with other vector ops
removed a duplicate registration of the vid_mouse cvar (in vid_glx.c)

cleaned up the animation interpolation code (CL_LerpUpdate) a bit more
increased interpolation 'teleport' tolerance from 400 units to 1000 units per frame
changed calls to Mod_ForName to not use checkdisk (except for viewthing model changes and map changes)
added viewent to r_refdef
moved v_blend to r_refdef
all 2D art now goes through Draw_CachePic
cachepic replaced qpic (in all non-wad code)
moved all engine generated pics (mousepointer, crosshairs) to gl_draw.c (they are called by Draw_CachePic)
cachepic now uses a hash lookup instead of just a string search
added drawqueue to r_refdef
all 2D art now goes through DrawQ_ functions (drawqueue)
DrawQ_String now stretchs the character texture a tiny bit, and always uses default filtering
cleaned out some old cruft in console drawing code
fixed some silly bugs in showfps
made showfps display use only 4 characters, and made the text larger, and moved it down a little
moved showfps from gl_screen.c to sbar.c
moved Draw_ConsoleBackground to console.c
removed drawinput parameter from Con_DrawConsole (it was always true)
c_alias_polys now counts all meshs rendered (a model may be rendered multiple times), not just the total number of triangles in the model, much more accurate
r_speeds2 renamed to r_speeds
disabled all Mem_CheckSentinelsGlobal calls during gameplay (they were wasting time)
r_speeds now displays time spent throughout SCR_UpdateScreen code, not just R_RenderView
frame is now rendered in 'finish begin render' order instead of 'begin render finish' order in SCR_Updatescreen - not sure if this is a speedup or not
BLOCK_SIZE in gl_textures.c renamed to block_size and now adjustable (r_max_scrapsize cvar), r_restart for changes to take effect, 1024 (default) or less recommended
menu, r_speeds, and showfps now have a darkened (50% black) background beneath them to improve readability
menu is now centered on the screen
menu text is now white
translatepic code now updates texture rather than constantly cache mismatching
cleaned up cshift code
cleaned up viewent setup code
W_GetLumpinfo failing to find a lump is no longer fatal
added R_Mesh_DrawDecal for the highly specialized task of adding decals/particles/sprites to the mesh system (trying to get a minor speed gain)
decals, particles, and sprites now use R_Mesh_DrawDecal

rewrote memory system entirely (hunk, cache, and zone are gone, memory pools replaced them all)
models can be reloaded at any time (Mod_CheckLoaded, etc)
entire renderer can be restarted using r_restart command
batch triangle mesh rendering system (gl_backend.c)
most rendering code does not touch GL anymore
gl_textures now supports procedural textures, and fragment textures (small textures combined into larger images)
lightmaps can now be mipmapped (r_miplightmaps)
broke up r_part.c and r_decals.c into cl_particles.c, r_particles.c, cl_decals.c, and r_decals.c to improve renderer/client separation, but explosions are still renderer
moved CL_NextDemo from cl_main.c to cl_demo.c
cleaned up demo stop/disconnect code
removed render modules stuff from all cl_ files
renderer uses separate light array, and recalculates radius for lights based on color, and calculates subtract value to give it a soft edge at the radius perimeter
small surfaces do not use lightmaps (unfortunately they still look slightly different in dynamic lighting)
items can now bob according to cl_itembob* cvars
moved CL_SignonReply from cl_main.c to cl_parse.c
monster movement interpolation is now done clientside instead of serverside, Nehahra movie should look better now
cvars now have a .integer field containing the integer value of their string (nearly all .value accesses have been changed to .integer for speed reasons)
pmodel is now only available in Nehahra mode (pmodel was a bad hack)
r_farclip cvar removed, farclip now dynamically adjusts to level as you explore it
parsing of wad names out of HL maps is now in renderer code
changed isworldmodel stuff in model loading
cleaned up CL_ParseUpdate a bit (related to clientside monster interpolation)
renamed r_glowinglightning to cl_glowinglightning
moved FindNonSolidLocation to bmodel code
lightning beam models are now only looked up once
entity_t now contains an entity_persistent_t which holds data persistent from frame to frame (interpolation mainly), entity_render_t is wiped every frame
marked a lot more things as static
increased command buffer (script execution buffer) from 8k to 32k
COM_LoadMallocFile has been renamed to COM_LoadFile, and all other variants are gone
rounding on MSG_Read/Write stuff has been changed to fix negative rounding (C rounds toward zero, old code assumed it always rounded down)
improved cachepic (menu images) system to load from wad
statusbar now uses cachepic system
cachepics are cleared when renderer is restarted
fixed fog on transparent objects, should always look correct now
moved R_TimeRefresh_f from gl_rmisc.c to gl_rmain.c
moved R_NewMap from gl_rmisc.c to gl_rmain.c
deleted gl_rmisc.c
removed support for glfog
masked sky rendering is now done by first rendering the sky scene, clearing the depthbuffer, rendering invisible depth polys over it, then rendering the scene, this is for more flexibility
C-code based shader system (not scripted)
deleted hcompress.c
due to more thorough memory corruption detection, a (harmless with old zone system) buffer overflow bug in the client name command was fixed
untested (and quite possibly broken) quaternion math stuff added to mathlib.h
removed support for colormod entity effect (massive mess to support it everywhere)
improved QC PR_RunError reports

-safe now does something approximately close to correct. Not a full fix
for what it does and doesn't do, but this will suffice for now. Added the
-nomouse flag to GLX. Debugging is a bitch without it, really. Also made

rewrote RecursiveHullCheck, no longer gets stuck on angle changes, and is generally more correct all the time (no longer uses PointContents checks either)
added content value to RecursiveHullCheck and TraceLine, they can now treat any content change as an impact
TraceLine now can take NULL impact and normal if they are not desired
TraceLine now sets trace_endcontents to the impacted content value
rewrote nehahra/rogue/hipnotic/standard_quake variables to be gamemode (GAME_NORMAL, GAME_HIPNOTIC, GAME_ROGUE, GAME_NEHAHRA, etc)
unfinished code for directional static lighting on models (CL_ParseEntityLump)
game now uses current mode as title everywhere (window title, server title, etc), so it would say 'DarkPlaces-Hipnotic' for example
added Draw_AdditiveString variant of Draw_String, switchs to additive blending and back to alpha afterward
engineversion string is now generated in sys_shared
major rewrite of transpolyrender, now uses glDrawElements (with batching of same texture/mode) and array locking
transpolyparticle added to quickly add particles to transpoly list (30% or so savings)
split wallpolyrender into two pieces, first renders walls, second renders fog over them, decals are rendered between the two, so decals are now fogged
added field of vision distortion when underwater (in MYgluPerspective)
changed gl_lightmapalign to align to the specified byte boundary instead of pixel boundary, and removed NVIDIA mentions (it is not their problem, it is a matter of the texture unpack alignment, but I stuck with 4 byte alignment because it is likely faster for most people)
fixed animating textures
rearranged a little bmodel code (probably no effect)
got rid of r_solidworldnode and r_pvsworldnode cvars (only the fastest choices are available now)
screenshots are now corrected to match lighthalf if it is being done using hardware gamma
removed some old unused cruft from host.c
added RGB gamma correction code to image.c
added VectorRandom to mathlib.h
model skins are no longer mipmapped by default (r_mipskins 0, but this is saved in configs so most people might not notice) because quake skins were not designed for it, and it is a 25% texture memory use increase on model skins
removed old unused Mod_FloodFillSkin code
transparent textures no longer clip other geometry in the hidden surface removal (ouch this was a bug)
maps should be able to use engine fields without the mod knowing about them now (alpha, etc), engine fields are appended to the list of progs fields
particle and decal textures are now all stored in one 'particle font' texture, for a rather hefty speed gain (no texture switchs)
all particles are now alpha blended (additive wasn't necessary on them, but is still available), to kill off state changes
new splash effect from raindrops
added a few bithacking float optimizations here and there (most with alternates if you define SLOWMATH)
new explosion effect (on by default, but a major speed drain, turn off with r_particles_explosions 0)
particle textures are now all in one image (a 'particle font'), massive speed gains with mixed particle types
all particles are alpha blend now (additive still supported, just not used), for more speed gains
particles now use 24bit RGB colors, rather than palette colors (the quake palette has been included however, because many particles still use it)
a lot of old cruft has been removed from r_part
ui items can now be strings rather than pics (actually they can be both, but I have not found a real use for this, perhaps a second draw location needs to be added for the string, so a button could have a label centered on it)
unfinished X11 gamma ramp support (need to allocate colors before setting them, haven't figured this out yet)
changed pitch range in GLX to let you look straight up and down, like in wgl version
mostly redesigned animation interpolation management code (R_LerpUpdate is now CL_LerpUpdate and performed on all network entities, R_LerpAnimation has been tweaked to not crash on bmodels and is now automatically used on all visible entities in the renderer, lerping info has has been split out of entity_render_t into entity_persistent_t so that entity_render_t contains no persistent data)
renderer now only uses entity_render_t structures
renderer now uses only currentrenderentity, and rarely passes individual properties around
cleaned out some old global variables relating to rendering
moved most of glquake.h to render.h
envmap is now actually a vaguely useful command (renders cubic environment map images of the current scene, changed to write tga images rather than raw rgba, and take a basename to use, and name them like skyboxes expect, and place them in the env directory)
many things that should be private to a particular file have been marked static
models now contain a SERAddEntity function (to add themselves to the SER clipping list to verify visibility)
models now contain DrawEarly and DrawLate functions (to render before and after wallpoly/decals/skypoly/etc, respectively)
dlight management functions moved out of cl_main and into cl_light
rewrote RelinkStaticEntities (does the same, just cleaner)
renamed RelinkEntities to RelinkNetworkEntities, split out LerpPlayerVelocity, and made a RelinkEntities function which calls the various functions
rewrote or altered portions of RelinkNetworkEntities relating to origin
muzzleflash lights are now clipped to keep them out of walls
fixed up code relating to vid.conwidth/height and vid.width/height (which is now gone, converted to vid.conwidth/height) and renamed glx/gly/glwidth/glheight to vid.realx/y/width/height (updated each frame using GL_BeginRendering)
rewrote most (all?) code relating to r_refdef, it is now always recalculated as well
dynamic lights will only update a lightmap if they actually alter it (optimization)
models now have 3 bounding boxes, used depending on angles (normal, yaw rotation only, and full rotation)
bmodel bounding boxes are recalculated from vertices
server now uses model bounding box instead of entity bounding box for visibility testing (since entity bounding box is often smaller)
server no longer portal-visibility checks entities because it was FAR too slow (sv_vischeckentities is still available though)
gl_rsurf code now relies on there being a currentrenderentity (even if it is cl.worldent.render), R_SetupWorldEnt added to avoid duplicate code for this
engine no longer has a version number, only build number
makefile now uses buildnum (as was originally intended) to increment build number every time it is compiled, build numbers will be rising rapidly from now on
timedemos will now force up console instantly
rocket trails are more dense
renamed VectorMA (function) to VectorMASlow, renamed VectorMAQuick (#define) to VectorMA, don't know why I had changed it before, had already cleaned up the parameter issues where it is used
