Changes since release 6

• Added a live Contrast slider to Graphics settings. The archived r_contrast preference ranges from 0.5 to 1.5, defaults to 1.0, and resets to neutral on right-click. Native and software output gamma paths apply changes immediately, without Apply or a renderer restart.
• Added g_voteGameTypes so servers can restrict game-type votes with a list such as set g_voteGameTypes "tdm dm ctf dom". It covers both game-type and type/map votes, updates without a map restart, and leaves administrator commands and map rotations unaffected. An empty list preserves unrestricted voting.
• Fixed master-server registration when client CD-key authorization is disabled, and corrected challenge ping timing during master authorization.
• Reduced text-rendering draw calls by combining compatible font pages into a shared atlas. Expanded the static-model lighting cache to four times its previous capacity to reduce repeated work on dense maps, with wider indices for the enlarged cache.
• Fixed OpenGL array-buffer restoration after streamed draws and preserved calculation precision in geometry, decals, clipped marks, projected shadows, and rotated billboard effects.
• FOV now remains an archived preference without automatic aspect-based rewrites at startup or when joining a server. The Graphics menu still provides its aspect-change reset and right-click reset.
• Added Spanish demo-playback controls and clarified the D/F speed-key labels.
• Improved mod and asset compatibility, including archive filenames, larger media entries, whole-file archive reads, WAV sample handling across audio backends, and BSP lighting records. Models with omitted surface names now use the default material.
• Corrected script interpreter state, error source positions, thread cleanup, parser allocation, and temporary animation-tree ownership.
• Fixed item floor placement to preserve the item's entity bounds while using the appropriate temporary collision-trace bounds.
• Expanded opt-in renderer profiling for custom diagnostic builds, including draw-call and batch statistics and profiling without GPU queries. These diagnostics remain excluded from normal release binaries.
