* The -file parameter may now be used without an -iwad parameter
on the command-line.

the console, or -nomonsters on the command-line, would not stop
monsters from being spawned in maps.
* The speed the player turns is now affected by the turbo CVAR
and -turbo command-line parameter.
* The correct sky textures will now be displayed when playing Back
To Saturn X E1: Get Out Of My Stations or Back To Saturn X E2:
Tower in the Fountain of Sparks and the mouselook CVAR is off.
* The friendly parameter will now work correctly with the name CCMD.
* A bug has been fixed whereby using the monster or monsters
parameters with the kill CCMD would cause a crash.

Tue Oct 1 18:09:58 UTC 2019 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 3.0.4
* Optimizations have been made to further improve the overall
performance and stability of DOOM Retro.
* Minor changes have been made to the character set used in the
console.
* Minor changes have been made to text that is output to the console.
* DOOM Retro will now automatically load SIGIL_v1_21.wad (or
SIGIL_v1_2.wad) in preference to SIGIL.wad.
* Timestamps in the console are now displayed in 12 rather than
24-hour format, and without a leading zero.
* If the player saves a game, now that game will from then on be
automatically saved at the start of each map. This feature can be
disabled by the new autosave CVAR, which is on by default and off
when vanilla mode is on.
* The following changes have been made to the name CCMD:
+ Spaces are now allowed in the name, whether surrounded by double
quotes or not.
+ Whether the monster being named already has been named will now
be indicated.
+ The player can now also be named (which is effectively the same
as changing the playername CVAR).
* A bug has been fixed whereby enabling the am_path CVAR would cause
DOOM Retro to crash.
* The path of the player that appears in the automap when the am_path
CVAR is on is now thicker.
* Minor improvements have been made to the support of DEHACKED lumps.

- If SIGIL.wad is loaded automatically, it’s TITLEPIC, CREDIT
and HELP1 lumps won’t be displayed, and it’s D_INTRO music

- The mapstats CCMD will now correctly identify the title and
composer of the music of the current map (either James Paddock,

map’s music.
