FROM 0.9 TO 0.91
=======================================

- A new cvar, dst_nosupport, has been added to take away support pickups like the Hatesphere, Ravens, Sentinel, and Blind Guardian. They're replaced with a cookie. Cookies are nice.
- 40 extra fortune cookie messages have been added for a nice, even 200.


FROM 0.82 TO 0.9
=======================================
- A second character, Sun Shihong, has been introduced. Sun Shihong offers a slightly bit more intricate playstyle to DemonSteele than Hae-Lin--while Hae-Lin focuses on utilizing W+M1 in crazier ways, Shihong needs to be paced. Utilizing a combination of guns, punching, and different styles in order to maximize her efficiency, Shihong is for people who want a change of combat is handled and want incentive to not just mash mouse 1 throughout maps.
- The Skininfo entry for the Placeholder player skin has been fixed.
- The Tag entry for KamenRiderModeActivate is now blank.
- The Kharon now has +SPECTRAL and can now hit enemies that are normally immune to hitting. There is nothing that my sword cannot cut!
- Same with the Omen just because.
- The TelefragHack on the Kharon's forward special now instantly kills any enemy, to prevent players from getting stuck in a living body.
- The KeyConf entry for the Launch Attack has been renamed to Weapon Action because reasons.
- Mancubi no longer have such advanced jiggle physics.
- Two additional sprites of soda pickup were included for variety.
- Guns can no longer get meter by shooting decorations.
- Game Over quotes have been included to degrade you for your failure, upon death.
- In lieu of Zandronum 2.0, all A_JumpIf(CeilingZ-Z <= 16,"DeathUpperFinish") checks have been replaced with a simpler A_CheckCeiling("DeathUpperFinish").
- Bisected body parts now have +CANTSEEK on them.
- Weapons now have been changed to have Tag entries, removing spaces from their names, for ease of clientside weaponslot manipulation.
- Souls no longer fly out of bisected body parts. Why was that even a thing?
- A new difficulty was added, for those who want even more challenge.
- A WEEB_GLOBAL ACS script has been introduced, for streamlining of applying singular-but-important scripts to multiple players. Yes, this is important. Shut up.
- Special inputs now require fire to be held down first.
- Hae-Lin can no longer accientally crush herself by dashing while Falling damage is turned on.
- The pickup message for the Berserk has been changed since people were confused as to what it actually does.
- The air control in both Zandronum and ZDoom has been unified to allow more ease of use in aerial dodging and mobility. dst_oldaircontrol allows for swapping back to the original, but only on map load.
- Destroyed barrel/lamp/candelabra pieces now have actual collision data.
- Several GLdef errors have been fixed.
- Explosive barrels have had their flares removed and are no longer horrendously laggy, especially in bunches, ESPECIALLY online.
- Explosive flares have been tweaked to have tighter trails that last slightly shorter.
- Flashlights now work online.
- DoomHealth mode now has armor bonuses spawn, well, armor bonuses.
- dst_nohealth, dst_noarmor, dst_nopistol, and dst_noweapons cvars have been included for those that want to customize for more challenging runs. Or just shitting around.
- Separation between ZDoom and Zandronum versions of DemonSteele has been polished up and is hopefully more future-proofed.
- Dramatic fade-ins no longer happen in DM.
- All weapons now have obituaries.
- Decoration sounds are now mono and should no longer play at fulldistance with OpenAL.
- Picking up weapons in Iron Maiden mode now gives points.
- There is now a D_TTFTW replacement.
- For those playing maps where you jump right in the fray instantly, dst_nointro removes the over-dramatic presentation at the start.
- Numerous sounds have been converted from Stereo to Mono, since as of this time of writing OpenAL is currently glitched and plays Stereo sounds across the entire map. Theoretically, one can now play entirely in singleplayer in OpenAL in GZDoom and not hear anything especially ear-rendering.
- The Blackened's death sequence is now significantly more obvious as to when it's actually died.
- Disconnecting will remove all existing floating buddies hanging around you.



FROM 0.8 TO 0.82 (Zandronum 2.0 maintenance update)
=======================================
- The cvars have been entirely rewritten with the advent of cvarinfo. Keep in mind all cvar prefixes have been changed from ds_ to dst_!
- Less Effects setting now has entirely different cvars in ZDoom and Zandronum. This is a useless feature to note. Nobody will care. But I suffered to get Zandro/ZDoom compatibility in a single build and you better fucking appreciate it.

FROM 0.74 TO 0.8:
=======================================
- Players are now able to rocketjump with the shotgun because reasons.
- The accuracy of the Testament has been tightened up dramatically, from 12 to 6. No weapon should be competing with the Kharon for close-range.

- Dying or exiting a level with over 100% Hammer charge should no longer cause wonkiness.
- Respawning no longer triggers one-liners. Like, for real this time.

- The Sentinel now checks multiple times to see if its target is a Blind Guardian.
- More Fortune Cookie quotes, because everyone likes those.
- There were a few frames where the Kharon by itself mid-raise couldn't be used. This has been fixed.

- The Iron Maiden's holy rockets now force extreme death, as does the punchsplosion.
- A new cvar has been included, ds_2brutal, for those who want to be pursued by skeletons.

- Destructable objects can now be triggered by the uppercut.

- The Omen's inventory-based flashing no longer appears in the invbar.
- The Kharon's uppercut, when used on projectiles, now reflects the shots back to the enemy. It's finnicky and based on Doom "physics", but it's neat nonetheless.

- Looping bloodspray enemy deaths now have a PPSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH sound effect, using old stock anime sound effects.
- In ZDoom and GZDoom, Read This! now appears no matter whether the game is Doom 1 or Doom 2. It also appears at the top, to emphasize that, yeah, you should read this. Maybe now people will stop asking how to do special attacks!
- The skull icon for the main menu looks 666% edgier and more \m/ hardkore \m/.
- The combo meter no longer stays the same shade of blue as it increases, but instead inches over to purple, pink, and more for the sake of visual distinction.
- A new cvar has been added, ds_nodamagepenalty, that does not penalize one's combo meter when damaged. This setting is for superbad casuals.

- The KubiutiUpper damagetype now properly launches the Steele Beast.
- Iron Maiden's punches, on splattering enemies, now alerts nearby monsters.
- The Iron Maiden's armor has been tweaked slightly. It regenerates slightly faster, but the armor resistance itself is slower--this should make it better for out-and-out brawls, but more susceptible to burst damage.
- The Iron Maiden now has a powerful uppercut for a launcher attack.
- To accomodate Hae-Lin's drastic increase in power, a lot of enemies have been buffed to be nastier in various ways.
 ^- Demons, Steele Beasts, and Lost Souls are now much faster and more aggressive. These critters are intended to keep the player moving and watch their blind spot or else take damage; as the reduced hitbox and faster speed in DemonSteele makes it easier to ignore their danger, they now fill up spaces to create danger much faster.
 ^- The Lost Soul now stops after travelling a short distance. The increase in speed makes it incredibly easy to miss the player, defeating its purpose.
 ^- The Mancubus now takes a much shorter time in between shots. The idea of the Mancubus' attack sequence is to fill a wide spread of an area, shooting left and right instead of just straight at the player. Since the player now has many more options to dodge or nullify the attacks, the Mancubi can now fill up areas more easily.
 ^- The Zombiemen and Chaingunners take five tics faster to fire. While they're complete non-threats now, lacking hitscans, they should at least get off shots a little bit faster.
 ^- The Shotgunners take eight tics faster to fire, fire in bursts of four, and take four less tics between shots. See above.
 ^- The Chaingunguy now has one less tic in his refire loop. Previously, the chaingunner firing rate was balanced around how fast Hae-Lin could swing her sword. Now that she can swing it faster and faster in various ways, they should shoot faster.
 ^- The Imp now fires two shots in a row and has a higher chance to go right back to firing more. The Imps are supposed to be more threatening than the zombiemen with more damage with a slower projectile--while in DemonSteele they can't have higher damage, they can at least have higher damage potential.
 ^- Previously, all attacks had a random element to them just in case of loading another wad with them. With the advent of Doomhealth and the Iron Maiden's armor, though, all attacks need their random element removed. Instead, all monsters do static damage.
 ^- Hell Knights and Barons now have indicators of when they're going to attack. To make up for it, now they attack faster and more frequently.
- The Acacia, Testament, and Sabbath now eject casings because reasons.
- The Acacia, Testament, and Sabbath now also have gun smoke because reasons.
- The Exodus' explosion now has a shockwave emitting from it.
- The transformation sequence to Iron Maiden now takes the currently-wielded weapon last, to prevent scripts from cancelling early.
- The low-health beep no longer plays when the player has over-life tokens.

- Thanks to Virtue, texture brightmaps have been integrated for the sake of prettiness.
- Thanks to Kyle873, brightmaps have been implemented for the Exodus and the Frosthammer.
- Thanks to MartyKirra, there is now a voice announcer every time you go up a rank! To disable this, please use ds_cl_noannouncer.
- Iron Maiden punches are now four tics faster.
- Armor damage in Iron Maiden now takes a slight bit of combo meter.

- The lightning spawned by weapon pickups now goes down even further, to about 900 units.
- A new map, MAPTEST, has been included specifically for streamlined testing, comparing damage values, testing out item functions, etc.
- Barons now have a unique death effect when punched to death with the Iron Maiden. Splat!
- Weapons now have their own unique special attacks! When holding down fire, hit alt-fire to charge your currently-held alternate weapon with soul energy and deliver a devastating unique attack. While not always as powerful as the sword attacks, these attacks are cheap on soul and take more ammo instead, which should allow players low on soul to have a viable alternative for heavier hordes.
- Souls now fade out little bit by little bit, vanishing if players don't eventually pick them up.
- FuzzballFox's 170 new text colors have been integrated.
- The Omen now has a Testament-esque delayed-pickup for the Chaingun, like how the Testament has with the regular shotgun. After four levels, it will replace Chaingun pickups.
- When playing in ZDoom, the Customize Controls section of Options now displays all of the relevant DemonSteele controls at the top.
- The Iron Maiden now respects ds_cl_norecoil.
- The ACS call for the pain state has been changed from ACS_ExecuteAlways to ACS_ExecuteWithResult, which means that the invulnerability state will start the very instant it's called rather than the tic after. In short, no more multi-token hits.
- Fortune cookie messages are now logged to the console.
- Every time Hae-Lin double jumps, she temporarily gains ethereal angel wings to thrust her up. Because reasons.
- The No Recoil option now disables the pushback on guns as well.
- Enabling No Recoil and firing the Frosthammer no longer jumps to the charged finish state.
- Thanks to Gundere, Hae-Lin now has a set of appropriate player sprites.
- Double-tapping input now must be done within six tics, instead of eight. The cooldown is now 16 tics instead of 20.

- All of the Archvile's death states now call A_KillChildren.
- The Archvile's flame turrets now are no longer considered monsters and won't spam up the monster count or block things in Invasion.

- Hae-Lin's landing sound is now less crackly.

- The Wolfenstein SS now has a replacement.
- Decorations now have a slightly higher chance to spew out items.
- In lieu of the Kamehameha, the Exodus no longer needs to go through walls. The explosion is now simply a 256-radius explosive, rather than four explosives with 192 radius.
- The Kharon by itself now has idle animations. Oops.
- Transformation has been streamlined and no longer requires "hold fire"--just hit Use Inventory and it'll activate.
- Online, people were occaisionally getting weapon desynchs, where they were in Iron Maiden but using the Kharon. This has been fixed.
- A new idle animation has been implemented.
- Hammering the ground will now allow Hae-Lin to jump higher, because reasons. The higher the charge, the higher the jump.
- The Iron Maiden's armor will become more effective depending on your rank--at S Rank, you can no-sell practically everything.
- The not-Kamehameha now takes a little over 1.5x as much soul energy but now each explosion does 128 damage instead of 96.
- There are no longer double decals for the bullet weapons.
- The switch-hitting no-damage bulletpuff no longer splashes on liquids.
- The Invulnerability Sphere and RadSuit now have their own respective appropriate replacements.
- The sound range on the not-Kamehameha has been tripled.
- Enemies killed with the not-Kamehameha are now no longer resurrectable.
- Meleeing enemies in pitch dark is a pain in the ass. For users who play with lower visibility settings and/or on dark maps, a flashlight has been provided. At the moment, it's an optional customizable key, but in the future (when Zandronum supports it) then it'll use the Reload key.
- The Omen and Iron Maiden are more responsive online and now has multiple checks for if the player has hit something with it. This should polish up all inconsistencies in hitting and should also reduce the amount of times people hit something and then get stuck in place.
- The Sentinel and the Blind Guardian can now be carried from level to level.
- The Infrared Visor has been replaced with a Sentinel pickup as well, which should make it slightly more common than just the allmap.
- The Archvile has +MISSILEEVENMORE removed.
- The Blackened's children now have a different appearance, to prevent confusion with Lost Souls.
- Lost Souls now drop souls when killed.
- The Blackened now has a sound when summoning its children, to prevent confusion of when a child is attacking or being summoned.
- Quakes no longer cause sounds.
- All enemies now have their own custom sound set. Whew! That was a lot of work.
- A few people's ears had trouble with the Kharon's sheathe, so the sheathing sound effect has been slightly softened, its pitch lowered, and its bass reduced.
- There is now an options menu for handling cvars and DemonSteele-specific settings, in ZDoom.
- New teleport effect. Neat!
- Hae-Lin now has lines for the not-Kamehameha. I can't think of a name for it, so neither can she.
- Hae-Lin now has lines for picking up food.
- In the chance a player picks up a new weapon DemonSteele doesn't replace, the ammo HUD will now show the ammo for it.
- ZDoom stealth monsters are now supported. Due to the gameplay style of DemonSteele, the monsters no longer flicker in and out of visibility, but are now a constant and flat 0.4 visibility.
- People tended to lose track of exactly how much health they had and would die accidentally. In true retro game style, now there is a beeping warning when low on health. This can be disabled with "ds_cl_nobeeping".
- Skulltag items and monsters now have a proper replacement. Skulltag monsters occaisionally recieve strange colors when killed, but for now this is a great step forward.
- Some people wanted to be able to taunt in ZDoom. Weird. There is now a ZDoom-specific key for doing the Zandronum taunt in ZDoom.
- The Blind Guardian will no longer trigger the Sentinel and send it into a Tumblr fit. In the off chance it does, the Sentinel will check its privilege and reassert itself.
- The Kharon's attacks no longer pass harmlessly through ghosts.

- The techlamps are now destructable items, like the torches, and will now provide item drops.
- Techlamps and torches now have their original gldef lights back.

- Holding down fire for over a second will now prepare a launching uppercut slash. (Most) enemies launched with this will be suspended in mid-air until they hit the ground--shooting them will keep them in mid-air.
- There are now intermission text replacements for vanilla levels.


FROM 0.72 TO 0.73:
=======================================
- Hot splashes no longer alert enemies.
- Thanks to Scroton, the lightning of the hammer has been polished, optimized, and improved.
- ds_cl_toaster has been included as a clientside effects toggle option. 0 is full effects, 1 is less effects, 2 is absolute minimal effects.
- The Acacia's firing speed has been sped up slightly and now effectively fires as fast as you can pull the trigger. Its damage has also been upped by two, rendering it a powerful starting weapon out of the gate.
- On lower difficulties, with full over-life tokens, it's no longer possible to start nomming everything in sight with no benefit. Watch your intake, kids!
- There is now a Read This graphic for the Doom 1 menu.
- WHOOPS is now actually 1/10 chance instead of 1/100 chance.

- By request, all Kharon deaths now deliver the SPONG! Splatterhouse sound effect, for easy identification as to when an enemy has actually died.

- The Exodus is now capable of reflecting away enemy fire again.
- When out of soul meter, the meter slowly regenerates back to two notches, so you frequently have at least one special attack ready to go. This takes at least two minutes to regenerate.
- The Blind Guardian's sounds have had their bass reduced, treble amped, and volume amped by five decibels, which should make them sharper and much easier to notice.
- Numerous inventory checks in the ACS have been streamlined for more efficiency, which should (hopefully) reduce network traffic.
- The Blind Guardian now has an indicator on the HUD when the player has it equipped.
- The ammo being handled and fired from alt-fire has made the default auto-switching-when-out-of-ammo system a little finnicky. For those who really want a traditional system, though, ds_cl_autoswitch now lets people automatically switch weapons when out of ammo.
- There is now a very, very slim (1/255) chance for destructable decorations to drop peppers.
- The Allmap has been replaced with the Sentinel, an automatic sentient turret to gun enemies down for you.
- The Omen now has an incredibly sexy set of sprites, thanks to MartyKirra!
- The Blind Guardian's health has been increased to 1000.
- Explosive barrels have their damage increased and now have a much easier time downing mook enemies.
- Omen has been nerfed. Charging takes slightly longer, hitting an enemy with heavier attacks no longer allows you to follow up with an attack right afterwards, and the 100% charge attack now takes 40 charge instead of 20.
- The Hell Knight's torso no longer acts like it's from the Matrix.
- The Kharon's decals are now slashes.
- The Pinky now has a decapitation death, thanks to Sgt. Shivers.
- Higher-tier attacks of the hammer now always gib enemies on death.
- Explosive barrels now respect sv_barrelrespawn.
- The hammer's overcharged impact damage has been increased from 4000 to one million. This is functionally useless, as there isn't an enemy above 4000 HP anyway, but higher numbers sound cooler.
- The HUD now properly informs you as to what weapons you have picked up, as well as when you can use Iron Maiden.
- Revenants no longer have +ALWAYSFAST on them, and their missile-homing systems have been made slightly laggier, but the missiles themselves are now 1.5x faster.
- Cyberdemons can no longer infight with each other.
- The Iron Maiden now has a charge-up blast if alt-fire is held, which provides a rocket explosion for either AoE coverage or rocket-jumping.

- All of the more network-intensive deaths that spawn extra interactable actors have had their chance reduced for easier latency handling.
- Bisected torsos are no longer serverside actors.
- For those that don't like the special attacks, for some reason or another, ds_nospecials has been implemented.
- The constant ACS checks on the weapon spawns have been reduced to only one check, dramatically reducting bandwidth and network traffic.
- The Kharon is now able to be wielded by itself, along with its sheathe, for better defensive capabilities.
- Bisected torsos and weapon pickups no longer block enemy teleports.


FROM 0.71b TO 0.72:
=======================================
- Kharon slashing animation time has been reduced by two tics--now people can slash again as soon as the animation is complete.
- The animation for the upward slash has been spaced out slightly for more natural movement.
- Thanks to PresidentPeople, the Blind Guardian now has a proper set of rotations.
- The environment splash sprites now follow the same desaturated 90s palette.

- The Blind Guardian no longer keeps a damaged appearance when repaired.
- Bullets online no longer spatter sparks on contact with enemies.
- The Testament's reload sound can no longer be interrupted by jumping.
- The Emperor's teleport effect properly works online, now.
- The Blackened now has +VISIBILITYPULSE on his main body for no other reason than it looks cool.
- Revenant missiles now home in 100% of the time and home much more aggressively. Enjoy!
- The Archvile's flame pillars no longer wander so wide out and have lost their multi-flame spread attack, but in exchange fire much more aggressively and spew out constant streams of attacks.
- Long, long ago in the mod's development, I made enemy projectiles shootable so that the pistol could shoot them down as well. As development went on, this proved too OP for the Testament and Sabbath and the ability was removed. The behavior has been tweaked, removing all of the vestigial bullet stuff while keeping the sword capable of cutting down projectiles.
- Because of this, this frees up the bullets' species to be able to shoot through allied players in co-op.
- For rare instances where you're trapped behind a forcefield or projectile-blocking wall or something and you need to shoot a switch, each bullet-gun has been given a perfectly accurate damage-less hitscan.
- The back special is now much more effective in destroying enemy shots.
- An attempt at making a 'less effects' cvar was made and quickly resulted in frustration, screaming, and grey hair. To make up for it, the effects on the Exodus, Omen, the explosive barrel, and Cyberdemon's rockets have been toned down slightly.
- Picking up multiple invulnerability powerups in a row no longer results in them getting stuffed in your inventory.
