Developers may want to also be aware that as of Odamex 11, our new official C++ standard is
C++17. Please be aware of this if you wish to contribute patches.
But what about DSDHacked and ID24?
DSDHacked (https://doomwiki.org/wiki/DSDHacked) is coming along very well, however, it is one of the biggest projects ever put into Odamex and will require a lot of testing. We did not include it in this release because it is not quite ready, and we do not want to hold back on all these great features while DSDHacked is still coming along. DSDHacked, along with several other ID24 features, is planned for Odamex 12. If you want to test DSDHacked online today, you can find the public source (https://github.com/odamex/odamex/pull/975) on our GitHub as well as on the developer Discord. We encourage testing and reporting now to resolve issues before the first public release!
