Notes: Identifier is present in OpenJK’s initial Raven source-import snapshot. Dated commit evidence identifies later registration changes relative to the origin snapshot.

Later changes

These commits occur after the ultimate-origin introduction on TaystJK’s inherited first-parent lineage. Registration evidence is exact; behavior evidence requires a changed bound cvar reference or a changed registered command-handler hunk.

Date	Change source	Commit / subject	Evidence	Confidence
`2013-04-07`	OpenJK	`3b9054288cb6` Some FS/CVar/Security fixes. Causes issues right now.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating; and the registered command handler. `codemp/qcommon/cvar.cpp`	`medium`
`2013-08-09`	OpenJK	`bb0894c030b3` Mega improvmements to SP’s startup variable support from MP. (init-only cvars work correctly) Mega improvmements to SP’s cvar code from MP: - Cvars use hash lookup now. - Max Cvars bumped to 2048. - Using ! in a bind on a cvar is correct now. - print command for printing info. (same as /cvarname but useful for when cmd+cvar clash) - unset un-sets a cvar entirely if its user created. - cleaned up set/sets/seta/setu - /cvarname now will accept all args instead of just the first - toggle cmd improved - cvar range checking code added (though not much actually uses it yet) - latched+cheat cvar escaping fixed - cheat cvars aren't hidden from cvarlist anymore - Possibly a few other misc things I missed.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `code/qcommon/cvar.cpp`	`medium`
`2013-08-15`	OpenJK	`f7058dcb5644` Add cvar_modified command, improve cvarlist command	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating; and the registered command handler. `codemp/qcommon/cvar.cpp`	`medium`

Fixed up command buffer code in SP. Fixed up configs loading on startup in SP.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `code/qcommon/cvar.cpp`	`medium`
`2013-12-03`	OpenJK	`b12414718708` [MP] Improve cvar code a bit further. Based mostly on zturtleman/spearmint@778bce425a2e6b6860e9d5ec4c7fc736311f9351. With some changes for legacy support still (and extra cvars that should be allowed in mods, if the mods were incorrectly setting them). And also some other misc stuff related to OpenJK specific.

`2015-11-24`	EternalJK	`c8f6ea17a324` Remove SP code	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `code/qcommon/cvar.cpp`	`medium`
