2011-07-07: Hammer of Thyrion, 1.5.0-rc5
Version 1.5.0-rc5 of Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion (uHexen2) is released: This 5th release candidate is a bug fix and maintainence update since the previous RC. If all goes well, this will be the last RC before v1.5.0 becomes an official release. The full log of changes since the previous 1.4.3 official release is here. The changes since the previous RC4 are as follows:

• small optimizations all over the place.
  
• made SDL the default sound driver for all SDL-based builds. as always, this can be overriden using command line switches.
  
• fixed (worked around) miscompilation of server code (progs interpreter) by very old gcc versions.
  
• fixed HexenC bug where, if there were a summoned imp around, a blinked away wizard wouldn´t reappear even after imp went away (bug #3314808).
  
• fixed a HexenC bug where the summoned imp didn´t pick the Egypt snake boss as an enemy (bug #3314810).
  
• improved soul spheres´ HexenC code.
  
• fixed a HexenC where medusa´s gaze attack sound would persist when she is dead.
  
• fixed an Eidolon/imp HexenC bug which used to render Eidolon idle.
  
• minor improvements/cleanups not visible to user. (see docs/CHANGES.)
  
• Uploaded the full sources, as well as win32, win64, dos, linux-x86 and linux-x86_64 binary packages. Mac OS X packages will hopefully follow shortly. We´d appreciate any feedback.
