1.5rc1

Changes:

• Bug fixes
• Additional Lua functionality (see Lua.html)
• macOS: support for Apple Silicon
• Updated UPnP router configuration support (now using miniupnp)
• Add an FOV override slider and warning
• macOS and Windows: added a checkbox for native file dialogs
• Removed high-res plugins from all-in-one downloads. There are many more options now than there were when we started bundling them, so this will give users more flexibility.

Aleph One 1.4

Note: This release is not network compatible with Aleph One 1.3 and earlier.

Changes:

• Adds support for Lua ephemera: optional scripted effects like precipitation or gore, that can be turned on and off without affecting saved games, films, and net games
• Adds a new "Editor" mode that integrates better with Weland for seamless visual mode editing
• Adds new high frame rate interpolation. Choose 30 fps for authentic classic play, 60 fps or 120 fps capped, or unlimited fps
• Adds many new Lua API functions. See Lua.html for details
• Adds support for weapon hot keys. Hot keys 1-9 switch weapons, but can be overridden by Lua scripts; hot keys 10-12 are reserved for Lua scripts
• Restores some retro/nostalgia features in the software renderer: every-other-line mode, and 8-bit color
• MML/Lua can now set the maximum inventory on a per-difficulty level. This should add versatility for balancing difficulty in new scenarios

1.4rc1

Changes since 1.4pre2:
