New wad names

What do they mean for boom compatibility? What should they be called on dos systems? Is there a new standard required for freedoom, like prboom-plus?

Says nothing about Boom compatibility: Freedoom remains the same as it always has.

For naming on DOS systems, completely depends on your port and OS. If they both support long file names and the new names, then nothing to be done. Otherwise you can just do stuff like rename freedoom1.wad to doom.wad and rename freedoom2.wad to doom2.wad. This much is already stated in the README. DOS support in 2014 wasn't considered important enough to affect our choice of file names. :)

I don't know what you mean by "new standard", honestly.

didn't see that for some reason. The main reason I was asking is boom on dosbox. That is all.

And by new standard i meant raised requirements, like using zdoom 1.23 features (which requires (g)zdoom, odamex, zandronum, or zdaemon). I'm glad your not doing that ;)

Gzdoom requirement would be epic fail for a project that's a free as in freedom alternative to doom content. Unless gzdoom changed to gpl while I wasn't looking
