Version 1.4.4-pre11 of Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion is released: Changes since the previous uhexen2 beta version:

- fixed a rare game crash when battling bosses with assassin class, using the tome of power and launching at the enemy a lot of projectiles.
- fixed a rare segmentation fault with certain command line arguments (bug was introduced sometime between version 1.3.0 and 1.4.0).
- fixed stuffcmds so that arguments to commands can have ´-´ or ´+´ within their names. A command like "hexen2 +map mymap-01" works properly now.
- fixed a problem in sound effects code where some teleportation sounds might have got lost.
- alsa audio: added workarouds for better behavior on some linux setups.
- hexen2 client: pause/resume midi (background music) along with cdaudio upon pause message.
- opengl: reworked text and HUD scaling menu option.
- windows mouse: fixed behavior upon minimize/restore in windowed mode.
- windows cdaudio: fixed MCI errors when resuming the last track of a cdrom.
- increased default zone memory size to 384kb.
- utils, jsh2color: worked around a stack corruption resulting in crashes due to the code´s way of dealing with TEX_SPECIAL cases.
- utils, lmp2pcx: Tweaked and documented palette file usage and allowed the embedded palette again.
- documentation updates.
- other small updates and fixes.

Along with the full sources, we also posted win32, win64 and dos binary packages, as usual. Mac OS X packages will follow shortly. We´d appreciate any feedback.

In the next release, I plan on adding ogg, mp3 and midi decoders for background music and remove SDL_mixer dependency. If all goes well, support for extra image formats can happen, too. Let´s wait and see.
