lightning beams have been replaced with a polygon effect which renders faster than the model effect and looks... oh umm... about 100x better, old effect still available - cl_beampolygons 0 to go back to models - some r_lightningbeam_* cvars added for tweaking new effect
r_speeds now reports some realtime lighting info
shadowless light support added
(unsuccessful) attempt to fix r_drawportals by moving the call to happen whether portal rendering was used or not
comment about possible optimization to shadow volumes added (rather, inverted light volumes and how to get maximum performance from them)
light styles are now checked for validity (must be in the right number range)
tiny cleanup to cubemap name handling (cubemaps are still not actually supported)
r_editlights_rtlightcolorscale and sizescale are now applied only in LoadWorldLights and SaveWorldLights, not in light creation (also somewhat to compensate for this fact, .lights loading has been tweaked to double the brightness)
torch light colors changed (more orange)
r_editlights_spawn no longer takes parameters
r_editlights_edit now has subcommands instead of setting all properties, the commands are: origin, originx, originy, originz, move, movex, movey, movez, radius, color, style, cubemap, shadows
r_editlights_toggleshadow added (useful for point and click shadow toggling)
display overlay now shown when pointing at a light in editing mode, indicating all properties of the light

entity shadow casting is now optional per entity (EF_NOSHADOW added), and special entities (static entities like torchs, and tempentities like beams) do not cast shadows

works with NULL worldmodel
fixed overbright lighting! (light flickering is now smooth and everything)
added r_editlights_rtlightssizescale and r_editlights_rtlightscolorscale which scale light properties when loading as well as saving (to undo the change - this can be exploited to modify all lights in the level)
reduced used area of attenuation texture a little to ensure black edges
changed defaults for attenuation texture settings and rtlights sizescale/colorscale to greatly improve performance while still looking good
now defaults to no fake bumpmapping on walls (saves texture memory and looks better to me)

expanded string table offset table from 1024 to 65536, there must be a better solution than this though...

unified model skinframe loaders used for mdl, md2, md3, and bsp textures (both external and internal where applicable)
imageskin_t and image_loadskin/image_freeskin functions added to image.[ch] for use by the unified skinframe loaders
added palette_nocolormap
split r_shadow_bumpscale cvar into r_shadow_bumpscale_bumpmap (for _bump textures) and r_shadow_bumpscale_basetexture (self explanatory)
now loads _norm normalmap textures (tenebrae compatibility)
_nmap normalmap texture support removed (it was broken in the previous release and I don't need to bog down the texture loader with even more unnecessary names)
r_shadow_lightattenuationpower added (default 2, to leave it looking identical to previous versions, this controls the falloff curve of light)
renamed detailtextures array to mod_shared_detailtextures and moved it and related code to model_shared.[ch]
removed progs/missile.mdl shadow casting check (in r_shadow_realtime mode) I had forgotten to remove before committing last time

Some stupid Linux machines (i.e. Mandrake) seem to ignore their own network properties; in this case, we use the loopback address as the default one. Also, fixed an inoffensive bug when binding the UDP control socket.

cl_decals 1 to enable (this is saved to config), cl_decals_time and cl_decals_fadetime change settings for them (these are also saved to config)
redesigned particle additive flag to be a blend mode number (PBLEND_ALPHA, PBLEND_ADD, or PBLEND_MOD - for decals), lots of special hacks for the nifty new PBLEND_MOD mode

changed format of aliasvertex_t to use floats (hopefully this is a speedup, it sure bloats memory use - 36 bytes each, compared to 4 bytes in mdl/md2)
corrected scale for md3 vertices mentioned in header (md3 is still not supported yet)
added some unfinished mesh structures to begin support for md3

mdl and md2 vertices are now stored in a different structure called aliasvertex_t, it has all the features of mdl, md2 and md3 formats and simplifies interpolation, it also has precomputed texture vectors for faster realtime lighting.
normals are no longer interpolated if not needed (fake shadows and shadow volumes do not need them)
added VectorM, VectorMAM, VectorMAMAM and VectorMAMAMAM macros to make aliasvertex_t interpolation code more readable

lightmap update checking is now handled very differently; each brush model has a set of lightmap chains for each light style, and they are marked if the light style's value changes, similarly dlights mark surfaces they touch as well... both use surf->cached_dlight... this doesn't seem to be a speed gain (or loss) at present, but allows further restructuring which should be a speed gain

rewrote how texture chains are handled, they are now stored outside the surfaces, and are rebuilt as the player moves through the world (bmodel texture chains are just left untouched)

added Nexiuz TE_ effects (prefixed TE_TEI_) and Nexiuz plasma trail (an override for EF_BRIGHTFIELD)
Nexiuz mode disables fullbrights
reshaped some of the particle structure (flags is gone, broken apart into separate fields again)
added tex_beam (which uses a separate texture instead of the particle font because it needs to repeat)
simplified some of the texture font generation (tex_ variables now indicate where to put the images in the texture)

now gives packet dump when Host_Error is called during client message parsing code
now frees the model(s) being loaded when Host_Error is called during model loading code

Elric's changes:
JPEG texture loading using libjpeg (entirely optional at runtime - if not present, it won't load it)
gl_extensionfunctionlist_t is now renamed dllfunction_t and part of a shared system for library opening/function retrieval (functions Sys_LoadLibrary, Sys_GetProcAddress, Sys_UnloadLibrary - for this the library handles are considered void *'s)
LordHavoc's changes:
fixed libjpeg support in non-win32 by using jpeglib.h - honors jpeglib.h's idea of boolean - Linux libjpeg is compiled with boolean as int, unlike windows where it is apparently byte - unfortunately this also means you need libjpeg-devel installed to compile it in non-win32, not sure what can be done about this (but most people seem to have that anyway...)

R_Shadow_NewWorldLight now checks if radius or color is too dim and won't spawn such lights
in editing mode the centers of lights are visible now (as crosshair images)
light selection is now done a bit differently - the more precisely you point at a light, the higher it's rating gets, sometimes surpassing the closer lights in the area

shadow volume projection distance is now not infinite for alias model volumes, because they are more well-behaved than the world shadows...
msurface_t poly_radius and poly_radius2 removed
