• DOOM Retro is now built using v17.14.7 of Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022.
• A bug is fixed whereby pressing SPACE to accelerate the intermission screen wouldn’t always work.
• Brightmaps specified using a BRGHTMPS lump in a PWAD now combine with the default brightmaps, rather than replace them.
• Displaying messages in the alternate font when the alternate HUD is displayed can now be toggled off using the new r_althudfont CVAR, which is on by default.

• Minor improvements have been made to text autocompleted in the console by pressing the TAB key.
• A bug is fixed whereby monsters could telefrag other monsters.
• Automatically switching your weapon when picking up a new one or better ammo can now be toggled off using the new autoswitch CVAR, which is on by default and when vanilla mode is enabled.
• Controls can now be bound to the +fists, +chainsaw, +pistol, +shotgun, +supershotgun, +chaingun, +rocketlauncher, +plasmarifle and +bfg9000 actions using the bind CCMD in the console.
• Improvements have been made to when the mouse wheel is bound to an action other than +nextweapon or +prevweapon.
• A bug is fixed whereby the CREDITS lump wouldn’t be displayed during the title sequence of DOOM II.
• The player can now pick up more than one of the same type of key card or skull key.
• Randomness is no longer applied to the angle of non-shootable things.
• The DRHUDKEY and DRHUDSKU are now positioned better in the alternate widescreen HUD if replaced in a PWAD.
