It's time to celebrate the new year with a new release. Here's 2.3.0.

New features include
  • First version with official ZScript support.
  • Screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO) for the OpenGL renderer, written by dpJudas
  • UDMF-configurable fog density per sector
  • Glowing flats settable through UDMF
  • Proper rendering processing of large actors
  • Improved IWAD picker, allowing to choose the active renderer, or autoloading lights and brightmaps.
  • Proper dynamic light definitions for Freedoom.
  • Multithreaded software rendering
  • Some improvements to the console
  • Fixed the pitch issues that were warned about for 2.2.0.

Graf is my favourite developer, hands down. Not just cause of this release. You're keeping the source port alive and kicking. Stay cool, dude. 8)

Congrats. This seems like quite a significant release for multiple reasons!

Nice stuff. It would be even nicer if those properties actually worked (currently none of glow properties are processed by ParseSector()).

Damn. Seems to have gotten lost when I pushed another unfinished feature to the side for the release.

Hi

I am having trouble downloading the 2.3.0 x64 release of GZDoom.

The download starts and finishes but Winrar states that the zip is corrupt.

The Zip is ok. Can't you open it with something else?

7-Zip, mate. It's the real deal.

The problem here is Winrar. We will not ever condone its use here. As Lud said - try 7-zip. It's better, anyway.

Or just use the extract built into Windows. It seems to have no problems with the zip on my Windows 10.

7-zip would be worth it anyway because it got excellent shell integration.
