Release Notes
-------------
Version 1.0-B3:
Added a ki_stereo_video script, which enables stereoscopic 3D rendering for both KI and KI2.
New Linux x64 and ARM64 ports.
Added lots of sound spatialization options, including a new HRTF model.
Added a new anaglyph 3D lightness mode.
Added an "Artificial Read Delay" option, so that people will stop bugging me about wanting to replicate original hard drive "fight on" sample timing.
Lots of new systems/features exposed to the scripting API. (mostly just laying the foundation for upcoming features)
Various minor bug fixes.
Note that stereoscopic rendering support is a work in progress, so don't submit bug reports or feature requests pertaining to this functionality. This functionality currently requires a significantly more powerful machine, because time warping is used (sometimes emulating up to 7 frames) to achieve 60 FPS without decoupling game and rendering code. This functionality may also cause issues with determinism, so you'll get a warning about this if you attempt to use it in a network context.
