Adaptive Quality of Service Architecture (AQuoSA) is an open architecture for the provisioning of adaptive Quality of Service functionality into the Linux kernel. The project features a flexible, portable, lightweight and open architecture for supporting soft real-time applications with facilities related to timing guarantees and QoS, on the top of a general-purpose operating system as Linux.
At the core of the architecture there is an adaptive resource reservation layer that is capable of dynamically adapting the CPU allocation for QoS aware applications based on their run-time requirements.
Timing guarantees are provided through an in-kernel reservation based process scheduler, whose services are exposed to applications through a well-designed API.
A supervisor performs admission control, so that admitting into the system new applications with timing guarantees does not affect the timing guarantees of already admitted applications. Also, it takes care of guaranteeing appropriate security policies in the assignment of timing guarantees to users and user groups, as configured by the system administrator.
A feedback-based QoS control layer may be optionally used by applications who want to keep their timing guarantees by using a CPU allocation that is continuously adapted according to their actual needs. This leaverages the programmer, within certain limits, to hard-code any particular reservation amount within the application, because the best allocation is found out automatically at run-time. Also, this enhances the possibilities for the system to host additional QoS controlled applications. The available control algorithms are well founded on formal scheduling models and control theoretical results.
Enhancements:
- This release introduces a couple of flags useful when creating servers. If QOS_F_PERSISTENT is enabled, a server is allowed to exist beyond detach of the last task. If QOS_F_SOFT is enabled, a server tasks are scheduled by the Linux default scheduler/policy, when outside of the server reservation.
- Also, various stability issues in destroying servers have been fixed, also thanks to a new release of the generic scheduler patch for the Linux kernel (gs-2.2).

Hammer of Thyrion is a port of Ravens Hexen2 source code and is based on the original Linux Hexen II project, Anvil of Thyrion.

HoT includes many bugfixes, improved sound and video modes, opengl improvements and documentation among many others.

Whats New in This Release:

General:
--------
- The engine version is now at 1.19 for Hexen II and 0.19 for HexenWorld.
- Added support for 64 bit architectures: The crashes on amd64 are fixed.
- Added support for protocol 18: Hammer of Thyrion is now fully network-
compatible with Ravens 1.11 windows version, as it has been with other
Hexen II ports.
- The net compatibility works both ways: When H.o.T is run as a client,
it can connect to Raven-1.11 servers and can play just fine. On the
other hand, if a 1.11 client wants to connect to a H.o.T. server, the
server must be started with "-protocol 18" command line argument.
- You can also load and play games saved with the 1.11 windows version and
can playback the demos recorded with the 1.11 version.
- Fixed and improved parsing of puzzles.txt: This fixes the bug where the
names used to be listed as Unknown in the puzzle pieces inventory display
(you can access the puzzle pieces inventory display using a key bound to
the +showdm command, the default is q).
- Updated the loading of strings.txt, infolist.txt and puzzles.txt.
- Updates to SDL input code. Added the Shift-Escape key combination as a
new means for opening the in-game console.
- Fixed many printf format string errors.
- Revised pak data checking.
- Added experimental support for using unpatched, off-the-cdrom 1.03 version
pak files as a compile time option. Disabled by default.
- Several cvar tweaks.
- Made the load and connect commands to get rid of the menu or the console.
- Fixed multiplayer episode selection in the menu system.
- Updates to zone memory usage: a 256 KB secondary zone for static textures
(sec_zone) is now initialized, which is especially useful for the software
renderer and have its merits for the opengl version, too.
- Revised several unsafe LoadStackFile and LoadBufFile usage.
- Removed the useless net_vcr facility.
- Tweaked the init sequence.
- Changed the remnants of malloc usage into hunk or zone allocations.
- Mac OS X: Ensured that the basedir always stays the same (fix was added
in 1.4.1-rev1).

Gameplay:
---------
- The gamecode is now at version 1.19.
- Origin fixes for tomed fires of vorpal sword and purifier: paladin used
to fire them always from the non-crouched eye position, and it was even
the worst when he was looking up (and down). You wont be shooting your
back again when standing just in front of a wall and fire your tomed
purifier to the sky, from now on ;)
- Fixed an obscure bug where the assasin with her 4th weapon uses the tome
of power and cant fire it (gamecode version 1.16a, the fix was added in
1.4.1-rev1).

Console:
--------
- Added prefix matching support to the maplist command.
- A duplicate name detection bug in the maplist command was fixed.
- Updated and sanitized the command lister procedures.
- Added a -developer command line argument which sets the developer cvar to
1 during the init phase (ie. before the config is read).
- Consolidated all Con_Printf and Sys_Printf family of procedures into a
single flag based procedure. Added macros for compatibility with the old
api.
- Revised the logging system, made all Con_Printf and Sys_Printf output to
be written into the logs from the start. Added a -devlog command line
switch to enable logging of developer message even when the developer cvar
isnt set.

Server:
-------
- Fixed the mission packs doWhiteFlash server message: it used to affect the
local client only. Naturally, the recorded demos didnt carry the message
and the flash didnt appear, either. It works properly now.
- Made the Hexen II dedicated server to exec not hexen.rc or config.cfg, but
server.cfg if available. As an alternative, any config file can be execed
when starting the server, such as: "h2ded +exec myconfig.cfg"
- Hexen II dedicated server now starts the demo1 map, if the server is still
not active when initialization is complete.
- Fixed net driver checks in Hexen II dedicated server: It was broken in the
1.4.1 release and works properly now.

Video:
------
- Added apply changes and reset changes items to the video options menu.

Software Renderer:
------------------
- Added ability to load external wal texture files instead of internal pixel
data of the brush model (depends on the new r_texture_external cvar).

OpenGL Renderer:
----------------
- Some speed-ups in the alias model drawing.
- Fixed RGBA lighting.
- Fixed bug that the array size for playertextures must be MAX_CLIENTS, but
was hardcoded as 16.
- Added ability to load external wal texture files instead of internal pixel
data of the brush model (depends on the new r_texture_external cvar).

Sound:
------
- Added external music file support via SDL_mixer as an extra patch.

CDAudio:
--------
- Updated the volume setting procedures.

HexenWorld:
-----------
- OpenGL: Fixed bug that netgraphtexture was not reset during reinitializa-
tion of the draw subsystem (used to affect the packet loss status graph by
r_netgraph).
- OpenGL: Fixed bug that dynamic lights had a problem with RGBA lightmaps
(such as torches didnt illuminate) but luminance mode was fine. Lightmaps
in RGBA mode are working now.
- OpenGL: Added colored dynamic lights and extra dynamic lights (stuff copied
over from hexen2). The gl_colored_dynamic_lights and gl_extra_dynamic_lights
cvars and their menu entries are functional now.

Launcher:
----------
- Added integrated ability to patch the pak files.
- The launcher now scans the installation directory against known game versions
for pak file health, and pops up the patch window with a short report if it
finds something bad. It now disables the mission pack or hexenworld options
according to the results it took from the installation scanning.
- Many clean-ups. Incremented the version number to 1.0.0.

Utilities:
----------
- Added the bsp2wal tool which extracts all texture data into hwal files.
- Added the lmp2pcx tool which converts hexen2 texture data into pcx and tga.
- Fixed the broken project path decision in qbsp. it doesnt scan for a maps
directory anymore.
- Added a findfirst/findnext implementation to the common library.
- Several fixes in dcc.

Other:
----------------------
- Imported the latest xdelta-1.1 sources into the tree.
- Started a large scale attempt at improving const-correctness.
- Updated inline commentaries.
- A lot of code clean-up all over the tree.
