Notice: This release has been split into two. There is now a "modern" version and a "vintage" version, for older hardware. The reason for this is that some recent changes to improve performance on modern hardware resulted in quite severe slowdowns on Intel's OpenGL 2 hardware. So in order to give these users the best possible experience it was decided to provide this vintage build which adds all new non-renderer-related features with the latest state of the renderer from before the abovementioned change. The vintage version is provided thanks to the efforts of drfrag.

Please note that this solution is only a temporary measure. User share of OpenGL 2 hardware had already been low when we ran our survey with GZDoom 3.3 and once this drops any further the vintage build will be discontinued. If you cannot run the main (modern) build we strongly recommend to upgrade your hardware.
