+1.5.0 (2010-??-??):
+
+ Big changes in this version:
+ * The DOSbox OPL emulator (DBOPL) has been imported to replace
+ the older FMOPL code. The quality of OPL emulation is now
+ therefore much better.
+ * When running in windowed mode, it is now possible to
+ dynamically resize the window by dragging the window borders.
+ * There are now keyboard, mouse and joystick bindings to cycle
+ through available weapons, making play with joypads or mobile
+ devices (ie. without a proper keyboard) much more practical.
+ * There is now a key binding to change the multiplayer spy key
+ (usually F12).
+ * There is now a configuration file parameter to set the OPL I/O
+ port, for cards that don't use port 0x388.
+ * Up to 8 mouse buttons are now supported (including the
+ mousewheel).
+
+ Bugs fixed:
+ * It is now possible to use OPL emulation at 11025Hz sound
+ sampling rate (thanks to the new OPL emulator).
+ * The span renderer function (used for drawing floors and
+ ceilings) now behaves the same as Vanilla Doom, so screenshots
+ are pixel-perfect identical to Vanilla Doom (thanks Porsche
+ Monty).
+ * The zone memory system now aligns allocated memory to 8-byte
+ boundaries on 64-bit systems, which may fix crashes on systems
+ such as sparc64.
+ * The configure script now checks for libm, fixing compile
+ problems on Fedora Linux.
