EDGE 1.29 Released

[andrewj]

The EDGE Team are thrilled to announce the full release of EDGE 1.29. It has been in development for a long time (too long actually), and the EDGE Team has changed shape several times, but we finally made it. Thanks to everybody who helped with testing etc... We hope you enjoy this release.

Major changes in this release:

• Drag 'n' Drop support.
  
• Greatly improved BOOM compatibility.
  
• Handle DeHackEd and BEX patches.
  
• OGG/Vorbis music playback.

Plus many many bug fixes and general improvements, and lots of new DDF and RTS features.

Two words: F***ing awesome.

-edit- Is it possible to play anything other than doom2.wad for the Linux version?

Does the -iwad switch work?

[Mindless Rambler]

Keeps telling me it can't find the specified wad file. Readme says drag 'n' drop doesn't work it Linux, but surely the command-line should work?

The -iwad option should work (it has always worked for me), for example:

./gledge-linux -iwad doom.wad
