Heretic 1.0beta1 released

“A Linux port of Raven Software’s popular doom-engine game”

According to the Game Tome News site:

The Linux Heretic port is moving toward completion. Here’s
what’s new in the 1.0 beta:

  • Music support via the lxdoom-musserver and a updated
    soundclient (Now music works with standart OPL3, Midi-wavetable and
    AWE32-Midi (sounds great))
  • several network fixes (IPX and UDP) – now it would be displayed
    if a player quits a game
  • Heretic now works an a Netwinder (ARM) and on a SCO-Unix
    machine (happy Sysadmins :-))
  • some new graphic-feautures like linear and bilinear filtering
    within all graphic targets (X11/GGI/VGA)
  • fastX11 – a new graphic-target has been written, but it works
    only on x86 machines yet -> it doubles the fps-speed against the
    x11 target even in truecolor-mode !
