MQWCL - More QuakeWorld Client ver. 0.95 release notes ============================== This is mqwcl version 0.95. Read 095news.txt to find details what's new. Here only some comments. The purpose of this version is to test new "f_version" authentication system. Releasing mqwcl source is a GPL requirement, but it is a pain if it comes to cheat protection. New mqwcl security system is meant to reconcile these two things. mqwcl now uses a separate starter file, but it is completely transparent to you, unless you play with different versions by renaming your exe. Testing period will be rather short. I predict it will take 2 or 3 weeks. After that time, if everything goes OK (hopefully), mqwcl will be released again with complete source code, as a complete version. Hopefully with full documentation. This is rather short amount of time, so PLEASE, REPORT ANY WRONG BEHAVIOURS, BUGS, MISTAKES IN F_VERSION IMMEDIATELY to mqwcl@go2.pl. Next thing: this version is win32 only, sorry. It doesn't mean that new security system will not be implemented for linux. I'll do it if time will allow, linux just have a lower priority because there are far many more win32 users. Another thing. With this version mqwcl2 is introduced. This is the same mqwcl you get used to, but is meant to contain more features. So don't get confused :) Those features are not connected to Quake directly and may be unwanted by some ppl (for example because of slow machines). That's why there is a separate version for it. Currently mqwcl2 only adds MP3 player, and nothing more is planned soon. But there is a room for new features. MP3 decoding library, which I used, is not properly licensed yet. It is free for non-commercial product (which mqwcl is), but license is still required. But it takes years because of some company rebuildings and I don't want you to wait so long. So treat this as a beta which you should not distribute :) Enjoy, azazello
