Offtopic: Wikileaks needs support

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

I suggest you donate to Wikileaks. I did. Why? Because the silly Americans won’t anymore, due to Paypal not co-operating. If you live in Europe, direct bank transfer is easy.

Minetest water/lava/glass surfaces fixed

Minetest water/lava/glass surfaces fixed

Changelog:
0.3.1: (released on 2011-11-09)
- Fix frustum culling (previous versions have rendered too much stuff that is not actually visible (about 180 degrees, while should have been more like 100.))
- Add occlusion culling (improves performance a lot)
- Add “3d clouds” on/off checkbox in main menu
- Add “opaque water” on/off checkbox
- Fix some random minor stuff
- Turn mipmapping off (This makes far-away textures a bit noisier but better looking)
- Add Command-line signal handler for Windows (contributed by SpeedProg)
- Fix network layer segmentation fault introduced in 0.3.dev-20111021
- Fix water-glass and water-lava and lava-glass surfaces
