version 1.2.0
For updating to this release from the previous release, you only need to make sure you get the new quakelaunch script.
Various pieces of documentation (md files) have changed too, just FYI if you are storing these somewhere outside the repo.
There is a nice new option available in quakelaunch.conf, called create_filename_symlinks. This is false by default but you can set it to true to fix a kind of Quake-on-Linux issue caused by filename case sensitivity. The quakelaunch.conf file in this repo contains a comment block that explains further.
Another new minor option you can set in quakelaunch.conf is md_viewer. As with the other "viewer" options you can set this to the application that should be used to view the relevant kind of readme files, in this case ".md" files. If you know that the correct application would run when double-clicking on such a file, you can just use a value of xdg-open for this option.
OK all that being said, here's the complete list of changes since the previous release:
- Better handling of releases that have a dot in their name, for example "smej2_1.1.zip". Issue #20 has a bit more discussion of this.
- Handle releases that contain directories with weird permissions. A bit more detail in the commit, but this should be a transparent improvement that you don't have to know about.
- Updated docs to include mention of the Ironwail Quake engine where appropriate.
- Support for viewing ".md" readme files, as mentioned above.
- Support for auto-creating file and subdirectory symlinks with upper/lowercase name variants, as mentioned above.
