After two and a half years (and on the Chinese new year), a new release of ZDoom has been bestowed upon us, with a new ACC to go with it. Significant changes include:

A native backend for OS X
SDL2 backend for Linux, with OpenAL support
Better MIDI support, with nostalgic options aplenty
New ACS functions, like DropItem and DropInventory
Arrays are now supported at the script scope
Extended compatibility options

And much more. Grab a copy on ZDoom's download page.

As it wasn't mentioned in the news story, GZDoom has followed suit with 2.1.0, and 1.9.0 for those of us without flashy OpenGL 3 graphics cards.

Release thread.

Has it really been 2 and a half years? I can remember the last release as if it was only yesterday for some reason, anyways it's good to see it is still getting updated.

Oh yes. There are still a few limitations (Running in a window will crash the game, textured automap and node generation still fail) but for the most part zdoom runs very well. There is a compilation error that pops up with later versions of glibc, but commenting out the offending code is more than enough to fix it.

Well ZDoom and GZDoom get updates nigh-constantly, it's just that Randi finally declared things fit for a stable release!

Upon compiling, I get this on the Pi 2:

Upon compiling it on my 64-bit Debian Laptop (using installed 64-bit fmod) I get this:

Since corresponding GZDoom builds have been released, shouldn't the ZDoom wiki change GZdoom's status to "2.8 branch"? Normally I would do such a thing myself, except that no account can be created for whatever reason.
