Important

This version of TrenchBroom makes some changes that may be disruptive to some users and workflows:

Game configuration files with version 6 or lower are deprecated. Please refer to the manual for information on how to update your game configuration files to version 8 if you see errors.
TrenchBroom will now load all textures it can find, there is no way to limit which textures are loaded. But texture collections can be filtered from the texture browser to avoid clutter.
WAD files are now managed by clicking on the wad property of the worldspawn entity. Selecting this property will show a list of WAD files below the entity property table. Use the buttons below the list to manage the wad files.

Add a new way of filtering out texture collections individually. Show the filter UI by blicking "Settings" in the texture browser title bar
