Hey. 2.2.9’s out. Grab it at the usual place. It’s late, so I’ll just paraphrase some of the more interesting lines from the changelog:

• Fixed animated skin colors in OpenGL.
• Fixed an error when loading addons with custom savedata via the command line (notably, when testing from Zone Builder).
• Optimized Lua, plane rendering, and drawing of FOFs.
• Added polyobject support for Lua.
• Added multitag library for Lua, which allows reading and manipulation of tags on mapthings, lines and sectors; also added tag iterator functions.
• Attraction Shield’s homing attack may now be chained.
• The addfile command now supports adding multiple files.
• The player will now smoothly slide across a sloped ceiling.
• Let more graphics lumps be replaced clientside.
• Various bits of progress on UDMF.
• Special text is printed when the player begins the final lap in Circuit mode.
• Ring drain sectors play the ring depletion sound.
• Pausing the game is no longer possible during the score tally screen in Marathon Mode.
• Tons of map fixes from sphere.
• Added acronym keywords to Co-op levels. For use with the map command, so e.g. you can warp to Green Flower 1 with map GFZ1.
• The game now resends the whole gamestate when resyncing a player.
• Fixed an issue with the installer executables where you wouldn’t always be asked where you want to install the game.

There are lots of bug fixes and other quality-of-life things in this patch. We hope you enjoy it.
