What changed in EDuke32, build by build

An effect is only really seen in the buildtools written in C++, currently just arttool. This is mainly of interest to distributors of the buildtools to avoid missing DLL errors.

- in Mapster, pre-form the default 10 clip map names before returning from G_CheckCommandLine() so it gets loaded even if we passed no cmdline args. - malloc + strlen + strcpy --> strdup - don't need to spank dead variables ;) - we may call calloc with zero size, which isn't bad by itself, but asserting for non-null afterwards is. Allocs of 0 are implementation-defined, and may well return a null pointer (C99 7.20.3).

Make some computer Duke opponent variables in player.c static.

Gives a couple more fps for scenes where much screen estate is covered by stuff, like when holding the devastator.

With the same setup as before, a screen-filling translucent wall (with nothing drawn behind it) renders at about 7 fps faster (from 60-something fps initially)

These two functions draw a vertical line 4 neighboring pixels at a time. This gives a significant speed boost for a full screen solid and masked wall scene for x86_64 (where we have plenty of registers), about 60 --> 76 fps.

A run of consecutive mapstates may share sector/wall/sprite blocks, but the code was deciding whether to free them solely on local properties. Now, save a reference count at the beginning of each such allocated block and free it only if it reaches zero.

Also, always print at least level 5 corruptions (that is, have no instances of completely silent corruptcheck).

This checks for about every possible type of sprite list corruption and reports back with a corruption level 5 if one of the 14 validations fail.

- start scrolling from about half of the visible page - PGUP/DGDN moves the cursor by 1/4 of the page - code cleanup (we only need one displine[80], use clearkeys())

Note the capitalization. I hope that this makes clashes with user variable names less likely.

Also include one comment about a currently failing assertion there.

Previously, if the sprite turned really out to be in void space, either freelist inconsistency (before the list rewrite) or oob access (now) would happen. Also add an bound-checking assert() for insertsprite's sectnum argument (it's not a bound check!)

New engine variable 'int32_t Numsprites', not yet saved into savegames or mapstates. (The capitalization is to distinguish it from the often-used 'numsprites' locals or structure member names. In the editor, get rid of updatenumsprites().

Previously, the lists starting at headspritestat[MAXSTATUS] and headspritesect[MAXSECTORS] were both used as sprite freelists and were always in complete synchrony. Now, make only the statnum list keep the free sprites. This way, it has no CON compatibility implications because headspritesect[MAXSECTORS] is inaccessible there. Leave the array at its original size for now.

- JFBuild ports: arttool, givedepth, and mkpalette - All viable tools are now built when 'make utils' is invoked, not just some - Revert "initprintf" hack of previous commit and replace it with "compat_tools.c" - Move Bstrtolower from baselayer.c to compat.c - Makefiles: Add start and finish messages for the tools - Makefiles: To prevent "-Wimplicit" from being passed to the C++ compiler, create $(*CONLYFLAGS)

- Adding $(EXESUFFIX) where it belongs in the Makefile. - Eliminating a call to initprintf() from compat.c. This may not be ideal.

- Generate changelog and add to zip. - Increase minimum version to Leopard 10.5. - Fix typo in usage printout.
