Changes

1.06

Added --powerups option to display powerups instead of monsters (DOOM only so far).

1.05

Fix handling of non-standard map names (noticed in TNT01_GL.WAD).
Add --allthings option.

1.04

Disregard custom weapons etc. when scanning for custom monsters (noticed in ZENDYN_X.WAD).

1.03

Implement automatic adding of new DEHACKED monsters (for known IDs).
Add --dump option.
Add new DEHACKED id mapping: 116 => 23 (Dead Lost Soul), used in PE4_DT3.WAD
Add more --verbose output.

1.02

Unbreak layout for DECORATE monsters.

1.01

First stab at DEH file loading support (--deh). Works, but only for DOOM so far. DeHackEd 2.3/3.0 files for DOOM versions 14/17/19/20/21 in patch format 5 and 6 are accepted, but testing has been very limited; BEX files haven't been tried at all. DEH-modified monsters are marked with a "[D]" in the list.
DEHACKED lump loading support; this is automatically on, and can be disabled with --no-dehlump.
Verbose mode (--verbose).

1.00

Explicitely label Skulltag monsters.
Add Abbadon and Belphegor to Skulltag monsters.
Correct thing numbers for Blood Demon, Dark Imp and Super Shotgunner (from DoomBuilder).
Adjust sort order of monsters:
- Blood Demon appears after Spectre now
- Dark Imp appears after Imp and Stealth Imp now

0.99

Fix hitpoint output in compact mode.
Avoid spurious warnings from Getopt::Long.
Add --no-lostsouls option to ignore Lost Souls.
Ignore case for --game selection.

0.98

Disable Strife support for now.
Minor --map selection fixes.
Add --no-single option to disable single-player stats.
Add --compact output.
Default to all skills instead of just UV if no skill is specified.

0.97

Allow usage of resource WADs for custom monsters.
Correctly detect single-player vs. multi-player monsters for Hexen format maps.
Fix layout for custom monsters.
Flag custom monsters with [C] instead of (custom) (to save screenspace).

0.96

Print a warning when Strife is selected as the game.
Allow map range specifications à la --map=map01-map03, --map=e1m1-e2m8, --map=e1 (for e1m1-e1m9), --map=5-7 and so on.

0.95

Remove mkII monsters (I can't find references to them again, and I'm not sure where I got them from, anyway).
Hitpoint statistics.
Tighter output layout (more 80 column-friendly, at least as long as you don't request too much information at once).
Ability to specify --map=all and/or --skill=all.

0.90

Recognize custom ZDoom monsters in DECORATE lumps.
Use Getopt::Long for option processing and implement real command line options.
Allow specification of skill level(s) / map(s) to analyze.
Allow toggling of total monster counts, all-level summary etc.
Don't interpret spurious THINGS entries anymore.

Earlier versions

Earlier versions did not have version numbers; change history is not recorded.

TODO

Powerup stats for Heretic and Hexen (and Strife)
Different output modules (text, HTML, tables for DOOM wiki etc.)
Determine HP of custom (DECORATE) monsters.
More robust DECORATE lump handling (i.e., actually parse the contents properly).
Handle replacing of regular DOOM monsters in DECORATE lumps.
Add PK3 file support.
More robust handling of level-associated data.
Support mixed DOOM/Hexen format multi-level WADs.
Strife support.
Fix multiplayer stats for Hexen-format maps.
Verify Heretic / Hexen monsters.
Implement proper sort order for Heretic / Hexen monsters.
Write a man page.
