DOOM Retro v2.2.5, a new point release, is now available. It may be downloaded here, and its release notes are as follows:

• Optimizations have been made to further improve the overall performance and stability of DOOM Retro.
• The shadows of mancubi have been raised slightly.
• The resetall CCMD will no longer cause a crash when used while not in a game.
• A warning will now be displayed in the console if gamepad initialization fails.
• A bug has been fixed whereby the vid_scalefilter CVAR would default to "nearest_linear" rather than "nearest" if invalid.
• If the initialization of music fails at startup, a warning will be displayed in the console and startup will continue with music disabled, rather than DOOM Retro quitting with an error.
• The playername CVAR can now be set to "" in the console.
• The armor bar in the alternate HUD now aligns exactly with the health bar below it.
• The –respawn command-line parameter will now work correctly.
• Minor changes have been made to some of the output in the console.
• The correct INTERPIC lump will now be displayed if replaced in a PWAD and using DOOM II: Hell On Earth (BFG Edition).
• When using kill player in the console, the player will no longer turn to face their last attacker.
• A respawnitems CCMD has been implemented that allows most items to be respawned 30 seconds after the player picks them up, replicating what happens in DOOM multiplayer.
• The contents of doomretro.cfg have been rearranged slightly and commented.

DOOM Retro v2.2.4, a new point release, is now available. It may be downloaded here, and its release notes are as follows:

• Blood splats and shadows are now drawn at greater distances.
• Minor changes have been made to some elements of the console.
• A bug has been fixed whereby the screen’s colors may appear wrong in some rare instances.
• If in low detail mode, and the r_lowpixelsize has been changed from its default, the view border will no longer be affected at smaller screen sizes.
• A reset CCMD has been implemented which will reset a CVAR to its default value.
• A resetall CCMD has been implemented which will reset all CVARs to their default values.
• A bindlist CCMD has been implemented which will list all the bound controls. Previously, entering the bind CCMD without any parameters would do this.
• The individual monster kills displayed using the playerstats CCMD will no longer sometimes become corrupted when an Arch-vile resurrects one.
• If DOOM Retro fails to launch for some reason, a more descriptive error will now be displayed.
• A bug has been fixed whereby changing the vid_scalefilter CVAR to nearest_linear in the console could fail in some instances.
• The floor texture of sector 103 in MAP04 of plutonia.wad has been fixed.
• A bug has been fixed whereby rocket launcher frames would be shown when firing the Photonzooka in HacX: Twitch ’n Kill.
• The text caret’s animation now resets each time the console is open, and is hidden when the console closes.
