Changelist from 3.1 > 3.2

Most development effort in the past few years has centred on the renderer update (3.5) so 3.2's changes are relatively small and mainly focused on bugfixes & demo playback.

Improvements

• Windows static libary: SDL upgraded from 2.0.5 => SDL 2.0.8 (WASAPI sound by default)
• Windows static libary: zlib upgraded from 1.2.8 => 1.2.11
• Windows static libary: libcurl upgraded from 7.37.1 => 7.61.0
• Windows static libary: expat upgraded from 2.1.0 => 2.2.6
• Windows static libary: jansson upgraded from 2.7.0 => 2.11
• mvd_moreinfo improvements (older servers/demos, still does a lot of guesswork)
  • only print location name on pickup announcements when more than one item on the map
  • list location of items if > 1 of that item on the map
  • if raw item name is in location name, only print location name when announcing item pickups
  • announces when the pickup is from a pack, rather than the item
  • location of item is stored when simple clock entries are added
  • store location of megas as players pick them up (maximum 4 megas)
• itemsclock improvements (requires server to be running KTX 1.38+)
  • if KTX pickup/drop/spawn notifications are available they will be used (accurate, no .mvd guessing)
  • items-clock can have fixed entries for each major item on the map
  • items-clock can be filled with entries as match starts (/mvd_autoadd)
  • user can assign name major items on the map or remove (/mvd_name_item, /mvd_remove_item)
  • trigger f_demomatchstart fired at match start
  • /mvd_list_items will generate example list of items for config file generation
  • hud_itemsclock_style 5: lists backpacks, a space then items, in format "itemname : info"
  • backpacks can be added to the items list (/hud_itemsclock_backpacks), will be listed with the person who dropped the pack and who picked it up before disappearing
• In-game backpacks can be colored according to their contents (/gl_custom_rlpack_color, /gl_custom_lgpack_color) (QTV/MVD only, KTX 1.38+ only)
• Failed [ServeMe] connections will be removed from the playerlist (caused by nospecs)
• Teaminfo hud element can include frags (%f/%F)
• In KTX race mode, other players can be silenced with /s_silent_racing cvar
• Added macros $team1 & $team2 to access the first two teams on the server (#256)
• Demo capture can produce animated .png files (/sshot_format apng)
• /ignore can now contain a regular expression
• f_qtvfinalscores trigger fired when //finalscores notification detected in qtv stream
• /cl_mvinset position & size can be set by user (/cl_mvinset_size_x sets relative size compared to screen)
• /r_lerpframes is no longer disabled when using multiview
• Team fortress grenade models should be flagged as grenades now (/gl_custom_grenade_color etc should work)

Ruleset changes

• thunderdome allows simple-item backpacks & texture replacements for backpacks
• thunderdome, smackdown & qcon all block hud group-picture changes during the match
• thunderdome, smackdown & qcon all block /gl_outline as it can lead to seeing items & players through walls
• r_skincolormode, r_enemyskincolor, r_teamskincolor blocked in TF games or if server blocks skin/color forcing
• Team Fortress: scoreboard always color players by their teamname
