Warsow 0.5 is coming!

Warsow 0.5 is coming! This time I won't release qfusion separately as it'd too much to backport everything, including support for AngelScript. But this release is going to rock!

qfusion r10

This is pretty much post Warsow-0.4 release that includes the renderer updates you might have already seen there. However, I've decided to make another release from the old source tree just in case anyone cares ;)

Here's the short changelog:

- Added shadow maps support for models

- Added support for simple distortion effects along with Fresnel effect to shaders

- Added occlusion queries support for shadow maps, portals and models

- Added outlines GLSL shader for cell shading effect

- Added decal stage to "material" shader passes

- Bugfixes and optimizations

Love q3m4 with outlines :)

After a couple of years of silence.. Ta da! I should probably open a bottle of champagne now. Or at least go and have a beer.

As usual, huge thanks go to Jalisko and LordHavoc for support and inspiration. Here's the Changelog:

- OpenGL Shading Language support

- Deluxemaps and bumpmapping support via GLSL, including support for lightstyles (see included "ravendelux" demo courtesy of Jalisko or use Nexuiz maps for demonstration)

- Reworked OpenGL-states layer, minimizing the number of calls to OpenGL subsystem

- OpenAL support (optional)

- ALSA support for sound output on Linux systems

- New shader keywords for GLSL, describing "materials" (diffusemap, heightmap/normalmap, glossmap)

- New shader keywords for better compatibility with Warsow

- Optimized mirrors and portals rendering using OpenGL scissor testing

- Skyportals support (rendering the map from portal's camera position instead of regular skybox)

- Rewritten renderer of SKM models (using matrix-palette animation)

- Maps, models and shaders now take less memory and less likely to cause cache misses due to the redesign of used data structures and improved memory management

- Support for .ogg files as regular sounds, not just background tracks

- Optimized rendering of maps with global fog (automatic detection, farclip is set to distance of fog opacity)

- A good bunch of bugfixes, speedups, cleanups and improvements in all areas

And here's the link.

P.S. As with r8, no Linux binaries this time again, sorry.
