Spearmint 0.4

Spearmint 0.4 provides a few bug fixes and improves dynamic memory handling for Game and CGame VMs.

Spearmint 0.4 is not backward compatible with Spearmint 0.3 VMs. The network protocol number was changed from 5 to 10 in order to separate Spearmint 0.4 game servers from previous Spearmint/Turtle Arena versions.

VM Heap Memory system

• Improved and unified DLL and QVM memory allocation code.
• Allocate space on hunk but use zone memory functions to allocate and free blocks.
• Replace vm_qvmMinHunkMegs with vm_cgameHeapMegs and vm_gameHeapMegs which affect both DLLs and QVMs and are separate for CGame and Game VM.
• Remove name string from VM memory allocate function that was used for sharing memory between Game and CGame DLLs.
• Add system call to get available memory.
• Add system call to free memory!
• void *trap_HeapMalloc( int size )
• int trap_HeapAvailable( void )
• void trap_HeapFree( void *data )
