News from 7 January 2002

[randi]

I haven't posted any real news in a while, so here's the changelog since beta 28 so far. Things I want to address are:

• Something is preventing the blitter from being used if I disable video logging. Using the video card to blit from system memory to video memory plays a key role in increasing ZDoom's performance, so this is very important.
• Getting a push with ThrustThing while you walk off the edge of a slope will instantly drop you to the floor of the sector behind it.

Once I do those two things, beta 576...err...29 should be ready for release. I can't think of anything else I want to do for 1.23, so provided there are no serious bugs with it, I'll just need to write some updated documentation before I rename it to something non-beta.
