• Fixed an off-by-one error in mod.
• Fixed some constants not using #libdefine.
• Fixed additive blending not working in HUD Library when alpha is set to 1.0.
• ChangeFlag now support short flag names (e.g. "NOAUTOFIRE" instead of "WEAPON.NOAUTOFIRE"). Update decorate/changeflag.txt to use this. (Thanks to The Zombie Killer.)
• GetAspectRatio updated to a newer version.

1. Update decorate/changeflag.txt.
2. If you are using additive HudMessages in HUD Library, make sure that none of the non-additive messages in your mod became additive.

• Added IsZandronum212()
• GetAspectRatio() now triggers a ProgramError when used serverside.
• Fixed ChangeFlag not working with INVENTORY.NOTELEPORTFREEZE.
• All internal functions now use ACSUtils_ prefix.
• Removed ScreenWidth(), ScreenHeight(), and AspectRatio().

2. Replace all uses of AspectRatio() with IntDiv(GetScreenWidth(), GetScreenHeight()).

Widescreen support!

• Mouse cursor now supports widescreen!

This is a maintenance release that enables ACSUtils to be used in AOW-scale projects.
