== Changes ==

* "stat nettraffic" now also shows information on the number of many missing packets the client requests from the servers. [Torr Samaho]

* The server can now broadcast the MD5 hashes of loaded PWADs to launchers. [Sean]

* Added new compatibility flag "compat_noobituaries" to prevent obituaries from being printed to the console when a player dies. [Kaminsky]

* Added new compatibility flag "compat_resetglobalvarsonmapreset" to reset all global ACS variables upon resetting the map like in survival. [Kaminsky]

* Added ACS function: SetPlayerClass(int player, str class, bool respawn) to allow changing of a player's class. [Kaminsky]

* Added ACS functions: SetPlayerChasecam(int player, bool enable) and GetPlayerChasecam(int player) to enable or disable the built-in chasecam for the player. [Kaminsky]

* Backported the chat prefix and suffix features from ZCC, which have been renamed to "cl_chatprefix" and "cl_chatsuffix" respectively. [Kaminsky]

* Added new options to GAMEMODE: "gamesettings" and "removegamesetting", allowing modders to specify what gameplay or compatibility flags need to be enabled or disabled for a particular game mode. All flags added into the "gamesettings" block are locked and cannot be manually changed while the game mode is being played unless they're removed using the latter option. [Kaminsky]

* Added new parameters to the "addmap" and "insertmap" CCMDs that specify the minimum and maximum number of players required to enter a map. [Kaminsky]

* Added ACS functions: GetMapRotationSize and GetMapRotationInfo to get information about the server's map rotation. [Kaminsky]

* Added the EVENT script type: GAMEEVENT_PLAYERCONNECT, indicating when a client or bot joins the server. [Kaminsky]

* Added the EVENT script type GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_SPAWNED and GAMEVENT_ACTOR_DAMAGED, which are triggered just before an actor's first tic and when an actor takes damage. Note that for performance reasons, these events are disabled by default so modders have to enable them by themselves. [Kaminsky]

* Added DMFlags: "sv_shootthroughallies" and "sv_dontpushallies", so a player's attacks can pass through and not push their allies. [Kaminsky]

* Added packet loss mitigation, which the client can control using the CVar "cl_backupcommands". [Kaminsky]

* Added the server CVAR "sv_country", which allows servers to present their country to launchers. [Sean]

=== Fixes ===

* Color codes are now omitted from the length of the player's name, allowing for more complex color schemes without reaching the limit. There's still a technical limitation so that names aren't too long when sent across the network. [Kaminsky]

* The chasecam is temporarily disabled while the local player is in free spectate mode. [Kaminsky]
