Autoswitch weapon can now be set to only change to better or new weapons.
Chat beep can be disabled in options.

Added a CVAR g_voteBan X bans a player for X minutes using the KK-admin system
Added g_gravityModifier (default 1.0) that modifies g_gravity relatively to the value set by the map.

Handicap is reset to 100 once returned to the main menu. It is no longer changeable thorugh the GUI to prevent new players from hurting themself.
Added "Click to respawn"-message. Tells the player how long until they are allowed to respawn. Very relevant for wave spawning.
New specular code, r_specmode 1 to enable
New environment map code, r_envmode 1 to enable
Cascaded bloom, which is more 'natural', and is much faster on lower end hardware r_bloom_cascade 1 to enable
Support for GLSL shaders!
Bloom is not allowed if we don't have 32-bit color for textures. This stops the user from playing with corrupt bloom in 16-bit color since the bloom code doesn't really support that yet.
