Mainly a bugfix release
The survey has been turned off now for this version. Thank you to everyone who participated in the 4.7.0 survey.
Notice: The survey is currently CLOSED. GZDoom 4.7.1 contains no survey code.
Please do not post bugs or issues in release threads! Click here
Download (OpenGLES 2.0 and higher for hardware rendering, Direct3D 9 or later for software rendering)
Highlights:
Fixed: SBar_DrawTextureRotated was missing the angle parameter
treat "materials" as a known folder name for eliminating root folders in Zips.
GLES: Fix texture MapBuffer and AllocateBuffer create client side memory.
Fix "out of memory" errors when the vulkan backend is asked to create zero byte sized buffers
Compat patch for misplaced items in Hexen MAP08.
fixed some imprecisions in font luminosity calculation. This was still going through the palette which could result in off-by-one errors.
widescreen assets for all officially supported games. This version adds Hacx, Harmony and Chex Quest.
Add cvars to control automap line alpha and thickness
ReadThisMenu / MenuDelegate overriding.

Always bet on Graf for another release
Give or take, GZ is just really easy to get into. And although i increasingly tinker with other ports, GZ keeps a place here. Thank you Graf and team for another one!

I'm currently in the process of updating the wiki due to the new release. I'll get to that in a bit.
Edit: Done.

The:
"Errors? Can't run that new mod? Your GZDoom or ZDoom may be too old!
If you get startup errors - always double check to make sure you're running the latest version! (Currently: 4.7.0/3.88c)"
link is still pointing to 4.7.0 too.

Thanks. Fixed.
It's hard for me to remember to do those sometimes.

Thanks for the release!
Adding to the first post that this will be the last release for 32 bit systems might be helpful to those who have not read the survey thread.
