In case the Catacombs Pack was installed via the GOG installer (Windows), the game data will be auto-detected. Otherwise, it is possible to manually browse to the folder which contains either the Catacombs Pack or the shareware version.

 # Additional notes
 * The original Catacomb 3D allowed the player to reconfigure movement and action keys, but CatacombGL ignores those settings. Instead, CatacombGL has its own keyboard/mouse configuration, which is shared across all four games.
 * High scores achieved in Catacomb 3D are not stored in the GOG folder, to avoid file access issues. Instead, CatacombGL stores the high scores in \%appdata%\CatacombGL\CONFIG.C3D (Windows) or ~/.config/CatacombGL/CONFIG.C3D (Linux).

 # History
+* Version 0.5.5 (2024-08-21) New in this release:
+  * Support for command line parameters was implemented by wcapes. See the readme file for a list of commands.
+  * The sticky walls in Catacomb 3-D are now configurable. Suggested by @ivfall@bitbang.social on Mastodon.
+  * Music playback can now be enabled in the Catacomb Adventure Series. The music track is "Too Hot to Handle" by Bobby Prince, which is the same track as used in Catacomb 3-D. The track was already present in the game data of the Catacomb Adventure Series, but not used until now. Suggested by taufan99.
+  * The Windows binaries are now built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition.
+  * Upgraded SDL2 to version 2.30.6.
+  * The instructions for compiling CatacombGL on Linux using CMake were simplified by arrowgent.
+  * Fix: Linux compilation errors were fixed by SymenMulders and bdnugget.
+  * Fix: the automap player marker now has a contrasting color when the floor is white or yellow. Reported by youtuber MadJak91.
+  * Fix: in the Catacomb Adventure Series, as was seen in the original DOS games, the damage of player shots is round off in novice mode. Reported by youtuber MadJak91.
+  * Fix: prevent key bindings from being overwritten by the default values. Reported by vermian.
+
 * Version 0.5.4 (2022-12-30) New in this release:
   * Support for Linux was added through the hard work of GoGoOtaku, who in the process also did the migration to CMake. Additional testing was performed by NY00123 (Ubuntu), AlyxxTheRat (Linux Mint) and Scandy (RaspberryPi). The functionality to auto-detect the default location of the GOG Catacombs Pack in the Wine folder was suggested by Stuart Axon.
   * Fix: close cheat dialog when ESC is pressed. Reported by NY00123.
