DOOM Retro v2.3.3 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 limited MIDI support in Windows Vista and above has now been overcome, allowing the music volume to be adjusted independently of the sound effects volume. To allow this to happen, an additional file called midiproc.exe is now included and needs to remain in the same folder as doomretro.exe.
• The s_musicvolume CVAR is now 66% by default.
• The r_diskicon CVAR is now off by default.
• Minor changes have been made to text that is output to the console.
• The console will now fill the entire screen when opened using the ~ key on the title screen.
• The scrollbar in the console is now hidden if all the text in the console fits entirely on the screen.
• The extreme edges of both the menu and console backgrounds have been softened slightly.
• DOOM Retro’s title and version in the console are now white.
• A bug has been fixed whereby using the map CCMD when no game was being played would cause a crash.
• The player will now be thrust away with the correct amount of force when attacked by an Arch-vile, or within the blast radius of a rocket or barrel explosion.
• A time limit for each map can now be set using the -timer command-line parameter.

DOOM Retro v2.3.2 is now available. It may be downloaded here, and its release notes are as follows:

• The external automap enabled using the am_external CVAR will now be recreated successfully when changing another CVAR that causes the graphics subsystem to be restarted.
• The vid_motionblur CVAR now has a value of either on or off rather than a percentage, and is off by default. The motion blur effect it enables now better matches the player’s turning speed regardless of the control method used.
• The additional motion blur effect applied when the player is injured and the r_shakescreen CVAR is on will now only be applied when the vid_motionblur CVAR is also on.
• The gp_vibrate CVAR that toggles the vibration of XInput gamepads has now been replaced by two CVARs: gp_vibrate_damage for the amount of vibration when the player is damaged, and gp_vibrate_weapons for the amount of vibration when the player fires their weapon. Both accept a value between 0% and 200% and are 100% by default.
