Version 3.2

• Code changes required for networking are now only applied on connect, and reverted on disconnect.
• Local settings are now restored after disconnecting from a server with different settings.
• Disabled built in cheats (Yep! Leftover debug stuff) by default.
• Removed --keep-active as this is now built into the mod loader using a more efficient method.
• Implemented configuration file support. Will detail this soon.
• Command-line parser now only accepts addresses in the format 127.0.0.1:27015 instead of 127.0.0.1 27015
• Servers can now be password protected by using the --password parameter or with the Password field in the configuration file.
• Next stage synchronization implemented. Any time in a best 2 of 3 race where you ended up in the same level when it changed was just a coincidence until now. I'm baffled.
• Improved netstat by including estimated overhead.
• Implemented preventative measures for spawn time desynchronization on round start.
• Fixed a bug where music would fail to start, or start and then stop, at the beginning of a round (see #23)
• Fixed a bug which would cause upgrades to go missing on the receiving end. (fixes #25)
• Fixed an oversight which would send HP changes for non-mech characters
• Implemented character ID synchronization - Random Battle now works correctly. (fixes #13)
• Implemented synchronization for level groups which can affect certain aspects of the game.
• Improved analog accuracy a bit. (see #19)
• Fixed emerald spawn location desynchronization for good by simply setting and synchronizing a custom seed and disabling their stupid rand() in a for loop. (fixes issues #10 and #12)
• Implemented proper powerup synchronization (shields etc) (fixes #29)
• Implemented sanity check for splitscreen toggle (see #28)
• Re-worked the way damage is handled. (see #33 and 455e8ed)

Version 3.1.1 Hotfix

• Fixed connection timing out due to a UDP packet sequence oversight.

Version 3.1

Changes from 3.0:

• Camera independent input.
• Input rewrite now in place using OnInput and OnControl events. No frame latency!
• Partial Emerald Hunting support (see #12 and #10).
• Shooting is now much more playable, but not perfect. See #11.
• Synchronized player damage, HP and ring counts via function call hooks; never desync again!
• Teleportation only allowed with new flag from host, --cheats.
• Network statistic logging now available with --netstat (logs to CSV in game directory).
• Stage load lag compensation. The player who loaded first will wait for the player who is behind.
• Stage change synchronization. Even if the menu desyncs, you'll still go to the same stage.
• Random seed synchronization (although it's 0xDEAD0CAB 99% of the time anyway).
• Console window now optional, but still recommended.
• Overall accuracy and stability improvements (as well as some newly introduced instabilities! Fun!).
• And of course, open source =P

I'm probably forgetting some things given that it's been over a year since the last release.
