OpenPrey Release Completion List

Use this file as the source list for release changelog entries.

Process:

1. Add completed work under "Ready For Changelog".
2. When cutting a release, move shipped items into release notes.
3. Keep remaining work in "Carry Forward".

Ready For Changelog

• Repository rebranded from OpenQ4 to OpenPrey at Meson/project tooling level.
• Companion game-library repo wiring switched to OpenPrey-GameLibs defaults.
• Legacy external companion-repo build references removed from active build/docs/tooling paths.
• VS Code tasks/launch settings refreshed for OpenPrey naming.
• Documentation set refreshed for OpenPrey migration scope.
• fs_basepath auto-discovery switched from Quake 4 Steam/GOG assumptions to Prey CD-era registry + legacy-path discovery.
• Game-module loader/build updated to use a unified Prey module (game_<arch>) for both SP and MP paths.
• Companion game-library tooling updated to support both Meson and legacy project layouts, with staged module output copying.
• Engine Session/Async idGame call sites aligned to current Prey game API signatures to unblock engine target compilation.
• Meson build graph updated so -Dbuild_games=false no longer compiles game-idlib targets, allowing clean engine-only validation builds.
• Nightly GitHub Actions packaging now keeps basepr/game_<arch> loose, writes staged overlay content to basepr/pak0.pk4, and publishes a versioned nightly release with generated notes.
• Meson source selection, dependency wiring, and nightly CI now build/package Windows, Linux, and macOS hosts from the same OpenPrey staging layout.

Carry Forward

• Validate default launch/map flow for Prey SP and MP in staged .install/ runs.
• Finalize classic pak000..pak004 checksum baseline (consolidated pak_data/pak_sound/pak_en_* baseline is now published).
• Continue reducing inherited Quake 4-specific assumptions in runtime/gameplay paths.
• Port and verify Prey-specific gameplay trees (src/Prey) in active OpenPrey game-module builds.
• Reinstate Doom 3/Prey particle-system behavior and dependent decl/runtime paths.
• Extend CI/runtime checks for OpenPrey-specific smoke tests.
