Odamex 12.3.0 is out now! This is a minor version release with many bug fixes, feature additions, and performance improvements. Added

• Created a cvardocjson console command to dump cvar information in both the client and server.
  • External programs can import this to have information about Odamex's cvars.
  • Odalaunch now uses these exports as a source-of-truth for cvar information.
  • This can also be run from the command line as --cvardocjson to dump this information without requiring a WAD or other subsystems to be loaded.
• Created --cvardoc and --cvardocjson command line flags to dump the cvardoc file, in HTML or JSON format, from the command line.
  • The client's --cvardocjson will print to a file on Windows platforms, and dump the file to stdout otherwise.
• Added a 90fps option to the Framerate selector in Video Options.
• Added a "Server Details" window to Odalaunch.
  • To activate it, right click a server and select "View Server Details..." or middle-click a server in the server list.
• Implemented MBF's changes to player movement and spawning code, which should help cases where players may get stuck in walls.
• Added a new cvar g_horde_cooldown that puts recently played waves in a cooldown queue to avoid playing the same wave twice in a short interval.
• Added a clientside freecam for net demos and survival game modes that can be accessed when a player is out of lives.
• Added the cvar ui_mouse to navigate Odamex menus using the mouse, defaulting to on.
  • Left click toggles selections, drags sliders, and drives down into menus.
  • Right click emulates the Esc key and goes back 1 menu level.
  • Scroll wheel scrolls menus as you'd expect.
• Added an implementation of ZDoom's stacked portal things.
  • Things added to support these:
    • Thing 9077 - Upper Sector Portal
