GZDoom 2.2.0 released

A new version is available. This one merges the legacy support back into the mainline so there is no corresponding 1.x version anymore.
New features:
- Fully functioning Line and Sector Portals
- Roll Sprites
- Flat Sprites
- Sprites Facing Camera
- Bloom
- Multisampling
- Stereo 3D VR
- Quad Stereo
- Tonemap Setting
- Lens Distortion Effect
- DECORATE Anonymous Functions
- Lots of new ZDoom development features
IMPORTANT NOTICE: In the last few days a few occurences of bad pitch handling have been brought to my attention that were introduced with version 2.2.0.
Please note that these will be fixed, if it can be verified that current behavior deviates from 2.1.1/ZDoom 2.8.1!
Any mod depending on such broken handling will have to be repaired for the upcoming 2.3.0 release!

Expected ',', got 'l'.
The previous version (2.1..1) had no problems with Brutal Doom, so whatever went wrong is with GZDoom somehow.

It's actually a problem with Brutal Doom, a problem which should have been fixed ages ago.

Brutal Doom's author had plenty of time to fix that.
He didn't.
I think this is one of those few cases where backwards compatibility is not a concern.
Needless to say, it's an easy error to fix. Just open Brutal Doom with your favorite Zip file editor, find the file in question, open it in notepad, and fix that particular line - change the "l" to a "0" and you're good to go.

Brutal Doom - If the problem's with Brutal Doom, shouldn't GZDoom 2.1.1 have also given me that error message? (as I said in my previous post, it didn't.)

That's not how typos work.
GZDoom 2.1.1 not flipping the error was the problem, before.

I reported this error to the BD guy in February, when this was fixed in ZDoom so the bad constant gives an error as it should. He just did nothing at all. Well, I'll let him deal with the fallout. We can't let lazy modders dictate development terms here, especially when it comes to parsing errors that cause problems with properly declared stuff.

Even on old versions of GZDoom where Brutal Doom could run and be played, the startup console spewed out like ten billion warnings. I just cringe so hard when mods get released so dirtily and completely ignore the sea of red text in the startup... I personally get nervous even just seeing ONE warning. :O

It's a fairly common practice to completely ignore warnings even among professional programmers. That's why many projects forcibly enables 'warning-as-error' policy.
Everyone can miss a message at some point however there is no excuse for ignoring them for years.

Tell me about it. A few years ago I worked with someone like that. It was a hopeless fight to get the code base clean, because he just didn't care.
Of course this one never was a warning. It was a dumb typo that just by happenstance passed the old parser, but not the new one.

I'm calling it now: he's going to just get everyone to use the previous GZDoom version. Just like how he's been telling people to put Brutal Doom in the skins/ directory in Zandronum where it most definitely should not be in (and people actually do that all the time).

Well, if he starts doing that it may actually backfire once BD starts to become incompatible with some other stuff...
I honestly don't care. If he continues to act this stupidly I may just take down the links to the older builds...
