Ironwail 0.3.0

[andrei-drexler]

Changelog

• tentative new name; too edgy?
• added fallback path for slightly older GPUs (see updated requirements below)
• more CPU & GPU rendering optimizations (e.g. +~20% on ad_tears)
• more loading time optimizations for complex maps
• new software emulation mode (r_softemu 0=off / 1=subtle / 2=balanced / 3=raw)
• support for lightmapped liquids (r_litwater 0/1)
• fixed various vid_restart issues and simplified it to be practically instant
• changed vid_vsync, vid_fsaa and gl_texture_anisotropy to apply immediately (no vid_restart required)
• fixed various stability and Intel compatibility issues (big thank you to @j4reporting for all the testing!)
• added lightstyle interpolation for reduced eyestrain (r_lerplightstyles 0/1/2) - thanks, @mhQuake!
• added more options to the video menu
• r_scale > 4 now allowed on high-res screens
• fixed 'texture not aligned to 16 pixels' crash in mg1/horde2
• added code to handle sky textures with non-standard sizes and warn about them (e.g. ad_tears)
• updated SDL2 to 2.0.18

System requirements

Note: these requirements might not be 100% accurate since they are based solely on reported OpenGL capabilities.
There could still be unforeseen compatibility issues.
