2007/08/12 1.19p32
[Patch: Metamod-P v32 by Jussi Kivilinna]
- Changed GCC optimization flags based on performance monitoring results,
replaced '-O3 -funroll-all-loops' with '-O2'.
- Made 'Fix for engine_api varargs log calls with very long log string'
default on in sources so that MSVC compile is 1:1 with GCC compile.
- Made 'optimizations on META_DEBUG' always on in sources so that MSVC
compile is 1:1 with GCC compile.
- Fixed compiling META_PERFMON build with MSVC.
- Fixed compiling with MSVC fixed by Nikolay "The Storm" Baklicharov.
- [linux] Remake of dynamic linkent code. Parse dlsym function trampoline
instead of parsing ELF structures.
- [linux] Dropped AMD64 support since Valve doesn't support their AMD64 build
anymore and I don't have access to AMD64 machine to port new dynamic
linkent code. Sorry!
2007/04/05 1.19p31
[Patch: Metamod-P v31 by Jussi Kivilinna]
- Enabled 'regparam' for internal functions. Means that function arguments are
passed through registers instead of stack, which increases performance.

do not provide NewDLL information.

the MOD is now being deprecated and support will be removed from a
future version of Metamod. It can currently still be used by renaming
the game directory from "ag" to "ag3" or by explicitly specifying the
gamedll.
- Improved parsing of plugins.ini file to not report errors on empty
lines and commented out lines that start with whitespace.
- Added "lin32" and "lin64" keywords in addition to "linux" keyword for
plugins.ini file to support using the same file for the same game on
both 32bit and 64bit servers. The "lin32" and "lin64" keywords
override the "linux" keyword when used on the same plugin. Do not
use "linux" when using "lin32" and/or "lin64" keywords for the same
plugin.
