ZDoom

• It's Universal!: it works with all IWADs, all mods, all everything. Just plug it in and watch the numbers fly!
• A wide selection of colors and fonts! All IWADs supported!
• Damagetype colors! The system is easily utilized by mods by adding some definitions to LANGUAGE (see the mod for some samples). No dependency required!
• Most everything is exposed as a user option, e.g. font/color preferences, enabling/disabling damagetype coloration, and so forth.

• Shotgun Spray option no longer causes numbers to spawn sky-high when actors die on newer GZDoom builds.
• Enemies who gain health via a script now have their damage tracked correctly.
• Fixed a lil' startup warning in GZDoom 3.7.x
• Simplified the code a ton.

• Added support for non-standard IWADs (e.g. Delaweare).

• Fonts added for basically all IWADs (and then some)!
• Font choice defaults to the game you're playing; in Heretic, you'll get Heretic-y numbers, in Doom you'll get doom fonts, etc.
• Damage type support! A few values are baked in (e.g. for "Fire" and "Ice" and whatnot), and mods can easily supply their own damagetype->color mappings via LANGUAGE (see the mod itself for examples).
• Font & color choice are now user options. Multiplayer-safe!

• Added an option for number "physics," with two options at present ("Toss", the gravity-affected default, and "Float", a simple float-upwards style).
• Added an option to allow all shootable objects (e.g. barrels) to toss numbers, not just monsters.
• Revamped codebase, w/D4D gib-death compatibility -- thanks to Major Cooke and ZZYZX for hashing out a better way to do things.

• MENUDEF no longer modifies the root Options menu, making it compatible with mods that include their own MENUDEF monkeying.
