Character Customization:
- We've added character customisation where you can mix & match different robot parts.
- There are now 5 robots: hostile, dedlock, sentinel, tracker & hornet.
- We've changed player colouring so you CAN set your own colour in non-team modes
- Added a "glow color" you can now specify

Implemented new animations:
- We've done a full animation pass.
- We've added additive animations so the player smoothly looks around now.
- We've added IK so player feet stand on ground / ramps correctly
- We've added ragdoll (configurable in game options)
- We've made the feet lead to and pull away from the ground when jumping to make bunny hopping look "real" :)

Drop system:
- Standard melees & robot parts now have a chance of dropping at the end of a match.

Grenade Launcher:
- Grenade launcher has received it's art pass.

Crouch:
- We've added +crouch
- It does change the hitbox, it's a smooth transition from big<->small
- When crouched you move slower
- You can crouch in the air, so you can jump into small gaps.

Improvements:
- Cleaned up color overrides to be cl_colors_relative, cl_colors_enemy, cl_colors_friend. Color overrides only work when you are playing. When you are spectating it always uses the team color (or players color if not in team game)
- Profile UI now shows if you have multiple of an item
- Updated in-game roadmap
- Silhouettes can now be any colour
- Gibs/ragdoll colours & silhouette colours are now updated when you change team / colour override settings
- Added workshop buttons to title in scoreboard
- Clicking map title on scoreboard takes you to workshop
- Now get +10xp for a kill
- Carnage effect no-longer makes player go black. (helps with readability)
- Shotgun experimental now in core game
- Plasma experimental now in core game
- Flag Drag experimental now in core game

Bug fixes:
- Fixed time-code display in replay editor

Known issues:
- No swim animations yet
- Golden morning star isn't attaching correctly, will fix in first point release

Rulesets

• Allowing alternate player models now determined by ruleset
  
• Ruleset qcon reports the new player model (CapNBubs) as modified
  
• Changing ruleset or /allow_scripts now releases all protected keys. Blocks /cl_idrive workaround.

Input

• Added /con_toggle_deadkey cvar as a workaround for SDL2 deadkey-handling. Should stop first character typed at the console being corrupt when using a keyboard layout where the console toggle key is also an operating system deadkey.
  
• Bugfix: keyboard operating system layout is used if the program is started and /cl_onload is set to a console command (was previously set to QWERTY until game started).
  
• Bugfix: /cl_keypad cvar operational again, if set (default) then keypad & basic number keys can be bound independently. If turned off, keypad keys converted to standard keys, bindable as per QWCL.

Display

• /gl_loadlitfiles now controls loading of all colored lighting, regardless if from .lit file or stored in the .bsp file. Hidden cvar /gl_noinlinergb removed.
  
• Bugfix: horizontal fov was being increased when /viewsize caused effective aspect ratio to change. /scr_fovmode cvar controls how ezquake keeps the fov correct.
  
  
  
  • /scr_fovmode 0 (default) will use the aspect ratio of the monitor and then crop the image vertically. This matches the approach taken in QWCL
    
  • /scr_fovmode 1 will introduce horizontal letterboxing to keep the aspect ratio constant.

Menu

• Ruleset qcon now available through menu
  
• Sound: desired samples available through menu
  
• "Light Mode" renamed to "Darken Map"
  
• Bugfix: F2-F12 are now bindable in menu
  
• Bugfix: When unbinding through menu, only keys that match the command are unbound (rather than all keys starting with the corresponding command)

Other

• Various documentation corrections and updates.
  
• Bugfix: Various memory leaks patched
  
• Bugfix: /playdemo could crash client
  
• Bugfix: console background resizes as console width/height changes.
  
• Bugfix: ambient sound would not change volume if cl_maxfps was sufficiently high (leads to ambient sounds always playing or never playing)
  
• Bugfix: on Linux systems, keyboard input will be grabbed as well as mouse when /in_grab_windowed_mouse set. Should stop window manager shortcuts from firing during game.
  
• Bugfix: /connectbr will default to port 27500 if no port specified
  
• Bugfix: No longer looks for files in root of the current drive if /userdir is empty

Build environment

• Windows: can now access https:// server browser sources (libcurl library updated)
  
• OSX: binary should now be compatible with OSX 10.9
