DeuTex 5.2.2

Build systems

• configure.ac is now compatible with autoconf 2.70. C99 is assumed as a baseline default and should not be explicitly called for.
• ./configure --enable-man is now the only way an error occurs if AsciiDoc (a2x) is not installed.

Graphics

• Hexen graphics are now treated a bit more specially, the last entry in the palette no longer counting as a candidate to produce transparency in the output file.

Signature verification

I am no longer using GnuPG for signature verification, but instead Signify. The public key may be found in one of two locations:

• https://chungy.keybase.pub/deutex-releases/deutex.pub
• https://www.chungy.name/deutex-releases/deutex.pub

DeuTex 5.2.1

Build systems

• ./configure was broken in 5.2.0 for systems without AsciiDoc installed. It now properly checks for a2x conditionally along with the possible --disable-man parameter.

DeuTex 5.2.0

Graphics

• DeuTex supports textures in TX_START and TX_END markers. These are used by certain editors/engines for textures, with support for storing PNG and JPEG files directly in the WAD. Extraction is likewise handled for all formats.

Build systems and code standards

• Instances of == true and != false were simplified to more idiomatic C, such as if (cond) and if (!cond).
• Manual page generation can be disabled, even if a2x is available, by using ./configure --disable-man. This feature may be useful for penguin distributions.

DeuTex 5.1.2

Fixed a segfault when using --help (thanks @andwj)

DeuTex 5.1.1

General

• The texture name array was fixed so the maximum possible string size is now supported.
• Some warnings and errors with old versions of pkg-config and gcc have been fixed.
• Aliasing errors have been resolved, which caused crashes on some architectures, such as sparc64.
• DeuTex can now build WADs with an arbitrary number of lumps, but prints a warning when more than 4046 are included (the Vanilla Doom limit).

DeuTex 5.1.0

General

• The -overwrite option now works.
• Levels are extracted/inserted in a way to preserve GL nodes.
• Inserting pictures with a height of 1 pixel no longer causes a malloc error, and allows the operation of rebuilding a Doom 1 or 2 IWAD.
• texture lump file names can now be overridden.

Graphics

• DeuTex supports reading and writing sprite offsets based on PNG grAb chunks in a manner compatible with SLADE and ZDoom. wadinfo.txt overrides these offsets unless -pngoffsets is used.

DeuTex 5.0.0

Leaving beta, we are now announcing the availability of 5.0.0 for all general uses, and we hope this constitutes a stable release!

The cumulative major changes since 4.4.902 include:

Removed features

• DeuSF.
• -man troff format generation.
• WinTex options.
• -fullsnd: now the only mode.
• MS-DOS and OS/2 compatibility.
• Incomplete (and conditioned out) Rise of the Triad support.

File format support

• PNG support added, creating an optional dependency on libpng 1.6. If compiled in, it is the default extraction format, PPM otherwise.
• Au and VOC sound formats removed. WAV is the only supported format for extraction and creation.
• Full sound lumps from the WAD are always extracted.
• MIDI files can be included just by being named *.mid, and are extracted to the same file name extension.

General

• Log file support has been removed, in favor of the user doing a shell redirection (eg, with > or 2>) instead.
• Arch-vile sprites are now extracted and inserted using literal names for sprites with the [ and ] characters in names (illegal file name characters on DOS, but not current Windows systems), and sprite names with \ are now altered to use ^ on-disk, matching the ZDoom PK3 standard.
• Graphics with a height > 128 are now inserted into Doom WAD files correctly.
• UDMF (Universal Doom Map Format) support.

Build systems, code standards

• Real Autoconf+Automake build system to replace the barely-functioning imitation one. ./configure, make, and related environment variables work as should be expected.
• MS-DOS and OS/2 batch files removed.
• A malloc.h include was removed to allow compilation on Mac OS X, and is not needed by current Unix systems in general.
• Thousands of lines of code deleted and the entire tree reformated (primarily by using indent -kr, followed up by manual touch-ups). Several unused files, functions, and commented out code removed.
• C99-style cleanups to use (u)intN_t types, bool, true, false throughout the code, replacing old defines.
• AsciiDoc now used for documentation, and building the manpage requires it to be installed.

DeuTex 5.0.0-beta.2

Getting polished up for a solid 5.0.0 release, let's make this count! :)

Since the previous beta, the following has changed:

Removed features

• Incomplete (and conditioned out) Rise of the Triad support.

File format support

• PNG is now an optional depend. PPM is the default extraction format if PNG is not compiled in.
• MIDI files can be included by being named *.mid in the tree, and are extracted to the same file name extension.

General

• UDMF (Universal Doom Map Format) support.

Build systems, code standards

• Entire tree reformatted (primarily by using indent -kr, followed by manual touch-ups).

DeuTex 5.0.0-beta.1
