-                                                                       Small against large detail\r
-                                                                       faces also culled.\r
-\r
-2001-12-04     1.2 (ydnar 4) Alpha             djbob found a bug where\r
-                                                                       coincident caulk faces\r
-                                                                       were causing textured\r
-                                                                       faces to be caulked. Fixed.\r
-\r
-2001-12-04     1.2 (ydnar 7) Alpha             5 and 6 were internal test\r
-                                                                       versions. This version\r

-\r
-2001-12-22     1.2 (ydnar 8) Alpha             Optimized light. Lighting\r
-                                                                       for most maps should now\r
-                                                                       be measurable in minutes\r
-                                                                       as opposed to hours.\r
-\r
-2001-12-24     1.2 (ydnar 9) Alpha             Fixed light. It is still\r
-                                                                       faster, but to enable\r
-                                                                       "blinding fast" mode,\r

-                                                                       switch on the commandline\r
-                                                                       after -light. Fast mode\r
-                                                                       should be approximately\r
-                                                                       2x as fast as build 8.\r
-\r
-2001-12-24     1.2 (ydnar 10) Alpha    Grid lighting is now\r
-                                                                       optimized. Not as much\r

-                                                                       necessary to see this\r
-                                                                       optimization. Also added\r
-                                                                       the -cheap switch to\r
-                                                                       limit light contributions\r
-                                                                       to a point when it exceeds\r
-                                                                       255 in R, G, and B. This\r
-                                                                       *may* cause artifacts.\r

-\r
-2001-12-24     1.2 (ydnar 11) Alpha    Now using PVS data (vis).\r
-                                                                       Well constructed and\r
-                                                                       hinted maps should now\r

-                                                                       amount of light to reflect.\r
-                                                                       Use -bounce N after -light\r

-\r
-2001-12-31     1.2 (ydnar 18) Alpha    Normalization release. New\r
-                                                                       features include -fastgrid,\r

-\r
-2002-01-01     1.2 (ydnar 19) Alpha    Fixed an odd vertex lighting\r
-                                                                       bug (thanks Quakin) that was\r

-                                                                       faces when using r_vertexlight\r
-                                                                       ingame. Changed a little bit\r
-                                                                       of the default behavior, so\r
-                                                                       test with vertex lighting\r
-                                                                       and with terrain. Minor\r
-                                                                       shader changes might be\r
-                                                                       necessary to get some maps to\r
-                                                                       look as before.\r
-\r
-2002-01-01     1.2 (ydnar 20) Alpha    Colored alpha shadows. Some\r
-                                                                       minor optimizations in\r

-                                                                       slightly faster than 19.\r
-\r
-2002-01-02     1.2 (ydnar 21) Alpha    Set up colored shadows\r
-                                                                       properly to use\r

-\r
-2002-01-04     1.2.1-y1 (nightly)              This version is all new,\r
-                                                                       based off the official\r
-                                                                       GtkRadiant tree, which has\r
-                                                                       all the previous enhancements.\r

-                                                                       leading to overbright maps\r
-                                                                       in a hurry. Also removed\r
-                                                                       the bad PTPFF reporting,\r
-                                                                       as it only caused problems\r
-                                                                       with radiosity in a big way.\r
-                                                                       Sue me.\r
-\r
-2002-01-05     1.2.1-y3 (nightly)              I really suck. Sample color\r
-                                                                       now properly cleared to 0\r
-                                                                       when bouncing.\r

-2002-01-07     1.2.1-y4 (nightly)              Particle Studio generated\r
-                                                                       brush faces should no longer\r

-                                                                       faces that are autosprite.\r
-                                                                       Added -bouncegrid to have\r

-\r
-2002-01-08     1.2.1-y5 (nightly)              Same as y4, but compiled with\r
-                                                                       full optimizations. Should\r
-                                                                       be 10-25% faster in all,\r
-                                                                       including BSP and vis\r

-\r
-2002-01-11     1.2.1-y7 (nightly)              Increased stack size for threads\r
-                                                                       to 4MB on Win32 to (hopefully)\r
-                                                                       elminate stack overflow\r
-                                                                       crash with radiosity. Also\r
-                                                                       made subdivision use the heap\r
-                                                                       to lessen the stack load. Fixed\r
-                                                                       bug where q3map_bounce was not\r
-                                                                       being used in shader parsing.\r
-                                                                       Redid some of the divide math\r
-                                                                       to work in 0-255 instead of\r
-                                                                       0-256.\r
-\r
-2002-01-11     1.2.1-y8 (nightly)              More Win32 threading\r

-                                                                       in my PVS code. Fixed it,\r
-                                                                       so the PVS light opts work as\r
-                                                                       they should. Lighting is\r
-                                                                       faster. Also got rid of some\r
-                                                                       redundant square roots from\r
-                                                                       the raytracing, speeding up\r
-                                                                       lighting another ~25%.\r
-\r
-2002-01-20     1.2.1-y10                               Fixed a potential crash bug\r
-                                                                       with maps with 0 lights. Also\r
-                                                                       changed how lightmaps are\r
-                                                                       projected onto patches that\r
-                                                                       lie in a single plane (bevel\r
-                                                                       endcaps, floors, etc). Shadows\r
-                                                                       now work properly on them.\r
-\r
-2002-01-22     1.2.1-y11                               Fixed a divide-by-zero crash\r
-                                                                       with maps with no lights or\r
-                                                                       no tracing. Also added\r
-                                                                       code to make brush/patch\r
-                                                                       vertex lighting more closely\r
-                                                                       resemble lightmap, even on\r
-                                                                       less-than-perfect maps. And\r
-                                                                       -light is faster, too...about\r
-                                                                       25% on q3dm17. 34->25 seconds.\r
-\r
-2002-01-24     1.2.1-y12                               Completely rewrote the path\r
-                                                                       argument handling. Should find\r
-                                                                       the Quake 3 dir and other\r
-                                                                       dirs properly now. Needs to\r
-                                                                       be tested on Linux though.\r
-                                                                       Also made lights linear by\r
-                                                                       default when run with -game\r
-                                                                       wolf. This is to match the\r
-                                                                       Gray Matter q3map and\r
-                                                                       entity definition.\r

+2001-12-03     1.2 (ydnar) Alpha               Initial version (win32)
+
+2001-12-03     1.2 (ydnar 2) Alpha             Tolerance expanded
+                                                                       (more brush faces caught)

+2001-12-04     1.2 (ydnar 3) Alpha             Detail faces inside other

+
+2001-12-04     1.2 (ydnar 4) Alpha             djbob found a bug where
+                                                                       coincident caulk faces
+                                                                       were causing textured
+                                                                       faces to be caulked. Fixed.
+
+2001-12-04     1.2 (ydnar 7) Alpha             5 and 6 were internal test
+                                                                       versions. This version
+                                                                       takes into account extra

+2001-12-22     1.2 (ydnar 8) Alpha             Optimized light. Lighting
+                                                                       for most maps should now
+                                                                       be measurable in minutes
+                                                                       as opposed to hours.
+
+2001-12-24     1.2 (ydnar 9) Alpha             Fixed light. It is still
+                                                                       faster, but to enable
+                                                                       "blinding fast" mode,
+                                                                       you must supply the -fast
+                                                                       switch on the commandline
+                                                                       after -light. Fast mode
+                                                                       should be approximately
+                                                                       2x as fast as build 8.
+
+2001-12-24     1.2 (ydnar 10) Alpha    Grid lighting is now
+                                                                       optimized. Not as much

+                                                                       necessary to see this
+                                                                       optimization. Also added
+                                                                       the -cheap switch to
+                                                                       limit light contributions
+                                                                       to a point when it exceeds
+                                                                       255 in R, G, and B. This
+                                                                       *may* cause artifacts.

+2001-12-24     1.2 (ydnar 11) Alpha    Now using PVS data (vis).

+                                                                       Lights in the void are
+                                                                       also now removed as a
+                                                                       byproduct.
+
+2001-12-24     1.2 (ydnar 12) Alpha    Fixed bug that caused
+                                                                       vlight to crash.
+
+2001-12-27     1.2 (ydnar 13) Alpha    - Fixed broken PVS check.

+                                                                       code. Will probably crash.
+                                                                       - Other minor optimizations.
+
+2001-12-27     1.2 (ydnar 14) Alpha    Build 13 always subsampled,
+                                                                       making it slower. Fixed.
+
+2001-12-28     1.2 (ydnar 15) Alpha    Bad windings from edge- or
+                                                                       vertex- manipulated brushes

+                                                                       lighting on func_* with

+                                                                       Radiosity should be more
+                                                                       stable (but not fully
+                                                                       correct yet). Light

+                                                                       calculated for entities

+
+2001-12-28     1.2 (ydnar 16) Alpha    Un-vised maps will now light.
+                                                                       
+2001-12-30     1.2 (ydnar 17) Alpha    Radiosity. Use q3map_bounce
+                                                                       in shaders to specify
+                                                                       amount of light to reflect.
+                                                                       Use -bounce N after -light
+                                                                       to enable radiosity. Use
+                                                                       -dump to emit radiosity
+                                                                       lights as a prefab.
+
+2001-12-31     1.2 (ydnar 18) Alpha    Normalization release. New
+                                                                       features include -fastgrid,
+                                                                       -cheapgrid, and -fastbounce.
+                                                                       Running with -fastgrid and
+                                                                       -cheapgrid will produce
+                                                                       results identical to normal
+                                                                       q3map (with the lightgrid
+                                                                       being a little darker).
+                                                                       Also added q3map_nofast to
+                                                                       shaders to override -fast
+                                                                       switch for a surface light.
+
+2002-01-01     1.2 (ydnar 19) Alpha    Fixed an odd vertex lighting
+                                                                       bug (thanks Quakin) that was
+                                                                       causing sun to leak to brush
+                                                                       faces when using r_vertexlight
+                                                                       ingame. Changed a little bit
+                                                                       of the default behavior, so
+                                                                       test with vertex lighting
+                                                                       and with terrain. Minor
+                                                                       shader changes might be
+                                                                       necessary to get some maps to
+                                                                       look as before.
+
+2002-01-01     1.2 (ydnar 20) Alpha    Colored alpha shadows. Some
+                                                                       minor optimizations in
+                                                                       shadow tracing. Should be
+                                                                       slightly faster than 19.
+
+2002-01-02     1.2 (ydnar 21) Alpha    Set up colored shadows
+                                                                       properly to use
+                                                                       surfaceparm lightfilter.
+                                                                       Shaders must use this parm
+                                                                       to have colored shadows.
+                                                                       Can be used with alphashadow
+                                                                       as well.
+
+2002-01-04     1.2.1-y1 (nightly)              This version is all new,
+                                                                       based off the official
+                                                                       GtkRadiant tree, which has
+                                                                       all the previous enhancements.
+                                                                       New features include colored
+                                                                       lightgrid tracing through
+                                                                       lightfilter shaders, and
+                                                                       surfaceparm lightgrid, for
+                                                                       large/space maps with large
+                                                                       volumes. Also fixed are
+                                                                       potential broken brush
+                                                                       winding radiosity crashes.
+                                                                       Maybe.
+
+2002-01-05     1.2.1-y2 (nightly)              Merged latest CVS. Removed
+                                                                       bug where ambient was getting

+                                                                       solution for every pass,
+                                                                       leading to overbright maps
+                                                                       in a hurry. Also removed
+                                                                       the bad PTPFF reporting,
+                                                                       as it only caused problems
+                                                                       with radiosity in a big way.
+                                                                       Sue me.
+
+2002-01-05     1.2.1-y3 (nightly)              I really suck. Sample color
+                                                                       now properly cleared to 0
+                                                                       when bouncing.
+
+2002-01-07     1.2.1-y4 (nightly)              Particle Studio generated
+                                                                       brush faces should no longer

+                                                                       faces that are autosprite.
+                                                                       Added -bouncegrid to have
+                                                                       radiosity add to lightgrid.
+
+2002-01-08     1.2.1-y5 (nightly)              Same as y4, but compiled with
+                                                                       full optimizations. Should
+                                                                       be 10-25% faster in all,
+                                                                       including BSP and vis
+                                                                       stages.
+
+2002-01-09     1.2.1-y6 (nightly)              Brushfaces with polygonoffset
+                                                                       in their shader will no longer
+                                                                       be faceculled.
+
+2002-01-11     1.2.1-y7 (nightly)              Increased stack size for threads
+                                                                       to 4MB on Win32 to (hopefully)
+                                                                       elminate stack overflow
+                                                                       crash with radiosity. Also
+                                                                       made subdivision use the heap
+                                                                       to lessen the stack load. Fixed
+                                                                       bug where q3map_bounce was not
+                                                                       being used in shader parsing.
+                                                                       Redid some of the divide math
+                                                                       to work in 0-255 instead of
+                                                                       0-256.
+
+2002-01-11     1.2.1-y8 (nightly)              More Win32 threading
+                                                                       crutches. Eat me, Bill.
+
+2002-01-15     1.2.1-y9                                RR2DO2 noticed a stupid bug
+                                                                       in my PVS code. Fixed it,
+                                                                       so the PVS light opts work as
+                                                                       they should. Lighting is
+                                                                       faster. Also got rid of some
+                                                                       redundant square roots from
+                                                                       the raytracing, speeding up
+                                                                       lighting another ~25%.
+
+2002-01-20     1.2.1-y10                               Fixed a potential crash bug
+                                                                       with maps with 0 lights. Also
+                                                                       changed how lightmaps are
+                                                                       projected onto patches that
+                                                                       lie in a single plane (bevel
+                                                                       endcaps, floors, etc). Shadows
+                                                                       now work properly on them.
+
+2002-01-22     1.2.1-y11                               Fixed a divide-by-zero crash
+                                                                       with maps with no lights or
+                                                                       no tracing. Also added
+                                                                       code to make brush/patch
+                                                                       vertex lighting more closely
+                                                                       resemble lightmap, even on
+                                                                       less-than-perfect maps. And
+                                                                       -light is faster, too...about
+                                                                       25% on q3dm17. 34->25 seconds.
+
+2002-01-24     1.2.1-y12                               Completely rewrote the path
+                                                                       argument handling. Should find
+                                                                       the Quake 3 dir and other
+                                                                       dirs properly now. Needs to
+                                                                       be tested on Linux though.
+                                                                       Also made lights linear by
+                                                                       default when run with -game
+                                                                       wolf. This is to match the
+                                                                       Gray Matter q3map and
+                                                                       entity definition.
+
+2002-01-28     1.2.4-y1                                Merged from 1.2.4-nightly CVS
+                                                                       sources. Fog sparklies gone.
+                                                                       -nopatchfix so vlight works
+                                                                       properly again. Cleaned up
+                                                                       paths processing some more,
+                                                                       including Linux stuff. Added
+                                                                       _lightmapscale entity key.
+                                                                       Brought -game wolf lighting
+                                                                       to parity with GM tools.
+                                                                       RR2DO2's PCX loading fix. A
+                                                                       bunch of other useful fun shit.
+
+2002-01-29     1.2.4-y2                                Fixed a bug in RR2DO2's PCX fix.
+                                                                       Fixed a stupid bug in lightmap
+                                                                       dimension bounds checking (thanks
+                                                                       Laerth).
+
+2002-01-29     1.2.4-y3                                Now will detect (and report to
+                                                                       GtkRadiant) all degenerate patches
+                                                                       like those created by capping a
+                                                                       cone.
+
+2002-02-23     2.0.0-a1 thru a3                Rewrote about 30% of the code.
+                                                                       Lots of cool new shit.
+
+2002-02-24     2.0.0-a4 thru a8                Terrain fix (thx Pointy), patches
+                                                                       are no longer circus colored, more
+                                                                       terrain texturing fixes.
+
+2002-02-26     2.0.0-a10 thru a11              Adjacent coplanar surfaces now
+                                                                       will share lightmaps. This prevents
+                                                                       most wierd edge cases with filter
+                                                                       and speeds things up a bit. Patches
+                                                                       too.
+
+2002-02-27     2.0.0-a12                               More lightmap fixes for non-planar
+                                                                       surfaces. Bugfixes in allocation/
+                                                                       compression of lightmaps as well.
+
+2002-03-02     2.0.0-a13                               Fixed some surface light bugs,
+                                                                       adjusted the occluded-luxel finding
+                                                                       code, and amped the radiosity. Other
+                                                                       fixes to RTCW lighting code (better
+                                                                       angle attenuation on linear lights).
+
+2002-03-04     2.0.0-a14                               Vertex light should now be near-
+                                                                       perfect on clean (and mostly on not-
+                                                                       so-clean) maps. Unlit maps will no
+                                                                       longer have tri-fanned brush faces
+                                                                       with random vertex colors. VLight is
+                                                                       now totally gone (reverts to -light).
+
+2002-03-06     2.0.0-a15                               Relaxed the planar check, should now
+                                                                       classify all slightly-off plane brush
+                                                                       face metasurfaces as planar. Triangle
+                                                                       checking much more stringent as well.
+
+2002-03-11     2.0.0-a16                               Vis crash gone. Lightmap allocation
+                                                                       now sorted by shader to minimize 
+                                                                       shader count (and lessen chance for
+                                                                       RTCW shader substitution bug). Hit
+                                                                       big quarter-century also.
+
+2002-03-12     2.0.0-a17                               Dammit.
+
+2002-03-12     2.0.0-a18                               Hunting phantom lights...
+
+2002-03-16     2.0.0-a19                               Fogclip and _celshader. Check the
+                                                                       extras folder...
+
+2002-03-18     2.0.0-b1-rc1                    Beta release candidate. Fixed the
+                                                                       stupid phantom light bug finally.
+                                                                       Tricked out the sun tracing a wee
+                                                                       bit as well, should be a little
+                                                                       faster + more accurate. Other little
+                                                                       bits fixed up as well. Thanks to K,
+                                                                       {wf}ShadowSpawn and RR2DO2 for their
+                                                                       help tracking these last bugs down.
+
+2002-03-19     2.0.0-b1-rc2                    Increased some maximums, and got
+                                                                       rid of some cruft.
+
+2002-03-22     2.0.0-b1-rc3                    Some minor optimizations.
+
+2002-03-30     2.0.0-b1-rc5                    Now with fur (see extras/fur.shader).
+
+2002-04-01     2.0.0-b1-rc6                    Enhanced with baby seal technology.
+
+2002-05-01     2.0.1                                   OK, better late than never. Fixed the
+                                                                       alphashadow = 255 = transparent bug.
+
+2002-06-24     2.1.0-b1                                Added _foghull functionality. Works
+                                                                       like terrain "_shader" where
+                                                                       you don't need "textures/" prefix.
+                                                                       Also added q3map_normalmap. See
+                                                                       NVIDIA's website for Photoshop filter
+                                                                       to generate normalmaps from grayscale
+                                                                       heightmaps. This makes lightmaps
+                                                                       look bumpmapped. Currently 50% broken.
+
+2002-07-06     2.2.0-b1                                Empty epairs now stripped from map,
+                                                                       fixing Wolfenstein crash bug. Func_*
+                                                                       entities are now fogged properly.
+                                                                       Sort of. This will be enhanced later.
+                                                                       Added the .srf file to store all the
+                                                                       extra crap I was hiding in the BSP.
+                                                                       It's an editable text file that
+                                                                       -light uses, so you can change the
+                                                                       samplesize w/o recompiling the map
+                                                                       (just -light'ing it). Changed color
+                                                                       normalization to clamping, because
+                                                                       it looks better. Other stuff got
+                                                                       fixed as well.
+                                                                       
+2002-07-08     2.2.0-b2 thru b11               Test versions. Thanks jer and jet!
+
+2002-07-09     2.2.0-b12                               Larger-than-life lightmaps are now
+                                                                       supported, up to 1024x1024. Add
+                                                                       q3map_lightmapSize H W to a shader
+                                                                       to use. Lightmaps are stored in
+                                                                       maps/{mapname}/_lm_NNN.tga and a
+                                                                       shader script q3map_{mapname}.shader
+                                                                       is generated. Also added
+                                                                       q3map_lightmapGamma N.N. Use a
+                                                                       value of 2.0 to simulate
+                                                                       r_overBrightBits 1 and
+                                                                       r_mapOverBrightBits 2 on external
+                                                                       lightmap images.
