Added Finite Height (Over / Under) Support from Nugget Doom

• Allows over/under for just the player or for all things.
• The feature is disable for demo recording/playback as well as for MAPINFO wads.

Heretic + Hexen Additions

• Added SWITCHES support for Heretic (tested "Quoth the Raven")
• Heretic/Hexen remembers inventory selection after load
• Added new artifact_desc nyanhud component that shows the artifact name / description just like in the KEX port (customisable via Display -> Hud)
• Add support for Heretic KEX Episode 4 and 5 mapscreens (for casual play)
• Add Crispy Heretic-like support for extra music names for Heretic (allow MUS_E4M1 for E4M1 instead of the default MUS_E1M6)
• Add Dynamic credits to Heretic / Hexen demoloop

Cheats

• Added new basilisk cheat that allows monsters to die when they "see" the player. This is based on line of sight / reject. Can be useful for testing maps (thanks Gibus Wearing Brony for the idea)
• Added new iddl "Lock Finder" cheat that similar to iddf finding keys, iddl finds locked doors. This feature works for 3/6 key doors as well.
• Added buddha cheat
• Added killme, strip, and basilisk cheats to the console

ENDOOM

• Zokum's ENDOOM font has been updated to 1.6
• Fix ENDOOM "Smart" Option to take into account "autoload" wads (thanks Gibus Wearing Brony for the bug report)

Automap Line Thickness Improvements

• Added 2 more thickness options
• Software drawing has been redone for better performance
  • Example: Sunder MAP32 now gets 2x more performance when zoomed out and using 4x line thickness
• When map_use_multisampling is enabled, it now will just use the normal thick drawing method (there was no performance benefit + quality was negligible)
• Software and OpenGL line thickness are slightly more gradual now
• Minimap changed to always use 1x line thickness (bigger lines look bad imo)

Reduced Palette Options

• Changed "Pain Palette Range" option to adding support for all palettes.
• Now for "Pain", "Pickup", "Powers", and "Effects" (NEW), there are full/reduced/off settings
• Added "Palette Effects" to adjust Hexen exclusive palettes (example: poison, 4th weapon palettes)

Added Message Wordwrap / Ellipsis

• The automap level name is now shortened by an Ellipsis when it goes off screen
• The top message can now span up to 4 lines in length via word wrap
• Word wrap takes screenwidth into consideration
• The announce map component will now allow 2 lines for map name, and 1 line for author.

Other New Stuff

• Add new target_health nyanhud component that works like the "Target's Health" widget from CRL
• Add Crispy Heretic-like support for Ultimate Doom E4 music lumps (allow D_E4M1 for E4M1 instead of the default D_E3M4)
• Add back "skull pop" easter egg removed in latest PrBoom Plus (when not demo recording/playback)
• You can set Quake Intensity up to 400% for funsies
• Console now doesn't "eat" characters in front of the cursor, and pushes text forward when cursor is behind
• Added vector line automap marker option

• Voodoo dolls now show for OpenGL "Nice Things"

Other Fixes

• Fix "Pain Palette Range" not being saved in config ["Pain Palette Range" has been replaced with "Pain Palette" options] (thanks eshen for the bug report)
• Fix lingering weapon flash states when weapon alignment is set to "Centered"
• Fix "Blinking Keys" in Heretic to not change based on framerate
• Fix Hexen fighter flechette exploding on the player when using freelook

• Fix Hexen's "Yellow Message" queue logic
• Fix a few incorrectly set text shadows
• Update FluidSynth - Fixes some wads (example: Neptunian Nightmare) from hard crashing (thanks rfomin for helping me debug this)

Removed Features

• ZDoomGL "Blend Animations" have been removed. It doesn't look good for many animations.
• "GL AutoAim from Center" has been removed. I'd rather not overcomplicate autoaim logic just for OpenGL.
• sml_berserk and sml_armor exhud components have been removed (I don't think these are of much use)
