It is sad to hear that Bobby Prince has passed away. For several decades his music and sound effects have been crucial to the fun had and memories made not in only Doom but many other games, and his works will continue to be enjoyed for many decades more. He will be missed by a great many people.

Last two weeks in #Zandronum: cl_netgraph for `stat nettraffic`, netcode improvements, more info from LumpGetInfo, new ACS function SetMapUsedStatus, new BotScript QuitJoinQueue command...

Here's a quick summary of the features in #Zandronum 3.3 so far... - FOV is finally a CVar and can be limited by the server - Weapon sprites are fully interpolated and bobbing can be customised even further - MAPINFO can be used to limit the game modes a map can be played on

- Ability to save auth passwords to the system keyring on Linux - New variable to change frags awarded by killing the Terminator in that mode And of course, there are a bunch of bugfixes as well.

Gentle reminder that the Flathub package of Zandronum, which is suggested by applications such as KDE Discover and GNOME Software, is _NOT_ official.

This is not to discourage distribution and packaging of Zandronum, but a user's first port of call for help with such packages should be the distributor - most Flatpak frontends only show when packages are verified, not the other way round; and do not show where to contact the packager, only us.

Flathub's website does show when a package is unverified and links to the package's issues page, which is great -- please, can the frontend applications catch up?

To the developers of #Flatpak frontends: please make it obvious when a package is unofficial. Both #KDE Discover and #GNOME Software show no such indication, and actively attribute this package to us and link to official sites, which misleads users and wastes everyone's time.

If you encounter problems (which people seem to do often), there is little we can do to help you, since Flatpak is a unique environment the Zandronum team don't have the time, knowledge, and interest in supporting.

The migration is all done so hopefully everything works now. Note if you run a game server that uses the auth service, please restart it, as Zandronum caches its IP address which has now changed.

Featuring voice chat, a brand new scoreboard, and a whole host of features and improvements for players, modders, and admins alike - Zandronum 3.2 is the result of 3.5 years of effort. Thanks to everybody who helped suggest, implement, or test features and fixes!

With this 3.2 is now more or less feature frozen; we don't intend on adding any more features, just fixes from here on out. There will be a new beta soon, which will be one of the last (if not _the_ last šŸ¤ž) of the betas for 3.2 before the full release.
