Quake 3 -now works natively on x86_64 and PowerPC architectures, plus the game builds and runs -on FreeBSD. SDL is now used for input, OpenGL context management and sound, making the game a lot easier -to port to new platforms and architectures than it was before. Security holes and other -problems have been repaired.
