+ioquake3 (1.36+u20161101+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  The "opengl2" renderer, using modern OpenGL, is now the default.
+  This change affects OpenArena, Quake III Arena and anything else
+  using the shared ioquake3 engine.
+
+  On older hardware this might cause graphical glitches or poor
+  performance. You can switch back to the old "opengl1"
+  renderer by opening the in-game console (Shift+Escape) and
+  typing
+
+      \seta cl_renderer opengl1
+      \vid_restart
+
+  or by running the games like this:
+
+      openarena +seta cl_renderer opengl1
+
+      quake3 +seta cl_renderer opengl1
+
+  After changing the renderer once, it is saved to the
+  configuration file.
+
+  If you use game mods or addons like OpenArena's "Mission Pack",
+  Quake III Team Arena or Threewave CTF, please note that the setting
+  is saved separately for each game mod. To run a specific game mod
+  and select the opengl1 renderer, you can use a command like:
+
+      openarena +seta cl_renderer opengl1 +set fs_game missionpack
