for reporting uptime to status,
info, and GSpy Query requests.
* Set sv_doautosave = FALSE
on SV_Shutdown().
* Add StartSoundToClient() to API.

Hello fellow DK players!

It's been many months of hard work and endless testing but we have a present for you! In addition to fully supported 64-bit versions of Daikatana for Windows and Linux these new builds include:

* 130+ bug fixes.
* 2000+ sanity checks avoiding many potential crashes.
* A new "Gun FOV" CVAR to allow controlling the Gun FOV independently from your view FOV (can be controlled via the in-game menu or r_gunfov CVAR).
* Map updates to e1m5b for misaligned textures on monitors, e2m5e to fix the disappearing particles and node path fixes for e2m4d.
* Windows only: Ref_gl and game DLLs are merged into the binary. Making debugging a little easier and may give a small performance boost on old machines.

I'd like to personally thank the following players for their tireless efforts on testing many interim builds over the span of 8 months:
* Dekonega
* Milkey Wilkey
* Teflon

You can grab these new builds direct from the Daikatana 1.3 homepage, https://bitbucket.org/daikatana13/daikatana/wiki/Downloads. We also have a new version of dk_upd.exe which will detect if you have a 64-bit build of Daikatana 1.3 installed and will use this instead for our 64-bit friends. Please note this will not auto detect if you are on 64-bit windows, just the daikatana.exe binary. Also note that save games will break. The network protocol had to be updated for the Gun FOV feature. See our guide at https://bitbucket.org/daikatana13/daikatana/wiki/Updates%20and%20Save%20Game%20Compatibility to utilize the console to warp back to where you were in your Single Player campaign.

Thanks to everyone from the Daikatana v1.3 Team and Happy Holidays!
