Noteworthy things regarding Doomsday 1.7.6:

* Since a number of people have contacted me with reports of problems with Doomsday's default sound code, there is now a more compatible choice: dsCompat.dll contains routines that use DirectSound 6. It's activated with the -csd command line option. If you're having sound-related problems you should give it a try.
* Particles can now have a flag that causes them to be rendered flat against a surface if they're close enough to it. This is utilized by jDoom's new blood effects (in Defs\\jDoom\\Particles.ded). This is no match for actual decals, though. For instance, particles don't actually get stuck to the surface they're touching. They merely stop moving. This means they won't follow moving structures or scrolling textures. It's not a very serious issue, though.
