+  being. It's used for the new fate : Never to die by the hand of a mortal
+  being. The orcs are considered mortal, but I'm not sure, it's not mentioned
+  in the silmarillion or the Lord of The Rings, the trolls are immortals along
+  with the dragons, BUT the Dragonriders are mortal and Dark God (Yes, let your
+  joy explode!) :-). But well, don't be afraid your preferred monsters

+  Akhronath

+  you already have one or two immunities, your stats are near the max, plus
+  some other things that made it less useful. Now it confers 5 blows, mana x5
+  spell power x5, after all Sauron has put the most part of his power in it.
+  I also plan to change the activation.
+- Add 2 wand artifacts, The Wand of Stone to Mud of Thrain and the Wand of
+  Fire Balls of Mithrandir, they can be recharged at will and will never be
+  destroyed, for this purpose the new RECHARGE flags has been used (note :

+
+24/01/1999
+- NEW : the body changing feature! with a new class to use it. Your spirit
+  can leave your body to go into another one but while your spirit is alone
+  your max hp is of 1. When in the corpse of a monster your first blows are
+  the monster's one and you can use it's magical power. Your life is also

+  flooded levels (if chosen in the options).
+  The ability to levitate is now a GREAT advantage in the Mirkwood forest !
+  You can reach Mirkwood from Menegroth, Mordor from Minas Anor and Angband
+  from Gondolin. In the vanilla town there are three stairs.
+  When you take a staircase down in the last level of a dungeon you arrive back
+  in town.

+- The Vanilla books are now sellable in the magic shop/temple and the bookstore
+
+13/02/1999
+- New class : the Sorcerer, they can't wield any weapon useless it's a Mage
+  Staff and without it they are the WORST fighters of the game even bare-handed.
+  But to compensate this they are the BEST magical class : the can use any
+  book of any realm without having to learn the spell, but they also don't

+  every S-lang script files that must be loaded
+- Add the event's gestion to the slang script. An event is produced in certain
+  conditions (like a keypress,...) and a script can put an handle on it to have
+  a function called each time the event happens. I've made a stupid example
+  that use the key 'y' to shout at the monsters.
+  PS: Take a look at slang.txt in the help directory
+- Add the load/save function to the script
+
+24/02/1999 - PernAngband 3.1.0
+
+26/02/1999
+- I've finally successfully compiled Python. So the S-Lang support is replaced
+  with the python one. The 'y' key and the thieves quest are there too.
+- Stolen and modified intro.py from Pangband
+- The random quest bug is fixed (maybe :) ). I say maybe because as for the
+  wilderness one it doesn't happens by me so I can't test it :(
+- Today one of my dream have become true! With the help of a python script
+  I've made a new quest for the DragonRiders that can be given at the Weyr
+  of Arda in Menegroth. You enter forest area and the only thing you can use
+  is the flame of your dragon(no magic, no wands, ...). And you need to
+  destroy every thread while saving at least 50% of the trees, and your own
+  flame can consume them!
+
+28/02/1999
+- Yeah, the wilderness bug is now gone. And a minor bug which looks like the
+  the wilderness one is gone too. It happened when you try under certain
+  conditions to go in the wilderness with an imprinted pet.

+  types
+- Add a new dungeon: The Volcano, you reach it by going to the north east of
+  Minas Anor. Level 30-45
+
+05/03/1999
+- Spectres can't pass through trees because trees are pure and natural
+  things :)
+- New dungeon type: The Hell !!! Level 500 to 530, Yes 530 ! With a little

+- Mathilde will say the right sentences now
+- Fixed a bug in melee2.c which could produce an x and an y out of the limits
+- Disabled the engraving command for now because it's too unbalancing...
+- If you pray while low on hitpoints (< 20%) your god will do something to help
+  you, like summoning pets, curing wounds, killing enemies...
+
+19/03/1999
+- There is now a minimum level needed to enter some dungeons, to prevent
+  gaining great objects easily
+- Fixed the OLD bug of the pink horrors, now only 2 blue horrors
+  will be summoned
+- Fixed a bug with the tiles for the non unique DragonRiders
+
+21/03/1999
+- The Dragon realm users receive some experience for the kills of their pets
+- The Palantir of Minas Tirith now can teleport you next to the quest monster
+  but it'll take more time to recharge
+- Fixed the possessor's number of blows bug. Also the town uniques corpses (
+  Maggot, Martti, Mathilde) can't be used to attack because their attack is
+  moan with no damage
+- Added a faq (see pern_faq.txt)
+- Added a new monster ally, the Dolphiner. They came from the planet Pern
+  and can summon dragonriders, their friends. They are men riding dolphins
+
+******************** Attempts to rebalance the game **************************
+- Changed the xp modifiers of the new races in an attempt to make them more
+  balanced. Thanks to Shawn Cheng <mfighter@hotmail.com>
+- Invulnerability, Wraith Form and Life Multiplier now consume a *lot* of food
+- RohanKnight's gain less speed at each levels
+- Sound attacks of the harpers are less likely to stun...
+- IMPORTANT NOTE: At the character birth if you choose a forbidden class for
+  your race, you'll be considered as a cheater and the game won't be scored.
+  It's mainly to prevent the too powerful combination of Deathmold Mimic or
+  Deathmold Possessor. The characters made before the next release won't be
+  affected by that
+- Some more attempts that I don't remember :)
+- Changed the Mana and life multipliers, now mage staff of mana(100%) will
+  ADD 100% of mana to your max mana and not multiply it by 100 :)
+******************************************************************************
+
+23/03/1999
+- Replaced Menegroth by the new Lothlorien skilfully made by Akhronath
+  (zzhou22876@aol.com), with 2 new quests + The Battle of the Five Armies +
+  (only for DragonRiders) The Fight against a Threadfall
+  Thanks again Akhronath !
+- Deathmolds can now enter wilderness
+- Radically changed the score calculation, in the future it'll serve to choose
+  which characters must be turned into monsters. Note that the old score files
+  are compatible but the old scores mean nothing with the new system
+
+26/03/1999
+- Changed some aspect of the python implementation to make it more portable
+- The usleep python function may react strangely
+- When you pick up the same type of ammo that you wield in your quiver it
+  automatically combine with it
+- The specials levels are now restricted to a certain depth AND a certain
+  dungeon type
+- The number of collected bounties now count for the final score
+- Add a new option to not pick up monster's corpses. It's yes by default.
+  I've made it to avoid losing good characters by auto picking up a great
+  wyrm of power corpse and getting -500 speed !
+
+28/03/1999
+- Reimplemented the player ghosts, but in a different way. First the bone files
+  are a lot more complex to include more aspects of the dead character. Second,
+  only the best characters are allowed to become ghosts when they die, or commit
+  suicide, it's based on their final score. In the bone directory there is a new
+  file which held the name of the bone files that the player want to be used.
+  To add a bone file, put it in the bone directory, add it to the bones.txt file
+  and increment the number of bone file in the same file.
+  When a game is loaded it looks for this file, try to find some unallocated
+  ghosts and modify r_info with the new info from the ghost. When this is done
+the bone file is not used anymore because all the info is saved in the
+  player savefile. The race/class characteristics are not fully handled now.
+- Now even with a Mage Staff the Sorcerors have a penalty of -10 to hit/dam
+- A Vampire can now wield the Phial of Undeath without being scorched, while
+  all the other light artifacts scorch them
+
+30/03/1999
+- The Arcane Zap spell now works correctly
+- Updated the FAQ with the help of Leon Marrick
+- Updated magic.txt with the help of Leon Marrick
+- WOH ! Impressive ! Great work indeed ! Well, Andreas Koch has made a
+  powerful graphic editor for PernAngband !!!! And it has also drew some new
+  tiles! The editor is really impressive, you load the graphic file, the prf
+  file and you can assign a tile to every monsters/objects/... you want, just
+  with a click ! It can even scan the *_info.txt to search for new things that
+  are not in the current prf file and to add them !
+  You just need a big screen resolution(1152x864x16bits works for me)
+  Thanks for the great work Andreas(akoch@rbg.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de) !
+- The Archer class as suggested by Mike Hommel <jamul@hamumu.com>. They gain
+  some extra shot and might with levels and can also create ammo with rubble
+  and junks.
+
+05/04/1999
+- Fixed a bug in the Weyr of Arda at Lothlorien
+- Add the artifact's descriptions made by ... well I don't have his/her name.
+  Anyway, great work.
+- The rings of teleportation can now be activated but they'll be destroyed in
+  the process. It's like a last chance option :)
+
+08/04/1999
+- The uniques used in the special levels are no longer shown as killed in the
+  list and can only be created in the special level.
+  Note : This will only affect the new characters.
+- Fixed : When a Power Mage spell fails it is not cast anyway.
+- Wall creation works for Power Mage
+- Divia wrote some missing artifact descriptions
+
+12/04/1999
+- Reimplemented the engraving feature. There are some parchments in the
+  dungeon which contain Adunaic/Quenya/Sindarin/... words you can use to
+  engrave the floor with 'x'(']' in the roguelike keyset). You must read them
+  before engraving even if you know the words from your last game. Also the
+  inscription is magical and so needs some mana to work. So there is a new
+  and unique feature : each grid in the dungeon have some mana on it's own.
+  You can sense the mana of one grid by pressing 'X'('[' in the roguelike
+  keyset), but this is not very precise nor easy, it's based on the magical
+  ability. When an inscription is used it decrease the grid's mana and when
+  there is not enough mana the inscription don't work anymore. The maximum
+  mana of each grid is 255. i.e.: when you engrave the protection inscription
+  which use 8 mana on a grid with 80 mana, a monster won't be able to walk on
+  it for 80/8=10 turns, but well, this can save your life !
+  Note : There are not a lot of inscriptions, if you have some ideas, don't
+  hesitate, email me !
+
+14/04/1999
+- Changes in the r_info for the HAS_EGG flag as suggested by Akhronath
+- Bloodletters of Khorne only have a 20% chance of dropping Blade of Chaos
+
+17/04/1999
+- Raal's Tomes of Destruction have a 20% chance of dropping a Raal's Tome of
+  Destruction
+- Symbiants are more likely to receive the grow molds mutation
+
+20/04/1999
+- Quest monsters can not be pets or breeders
+- Can now place Trees(T), Mountain(M), Shallow & Deep lava(l, L) and
+  Shallow & Deep water(w, W) in the special levels
+- Add a new dungeon type: The lost city of Numenor which is mainly composed
+  of water and which can be found to the west of Bree
+********************* IMPORTANT *************************
+- The savefile from the old versions of PernAngband are no longer compatible
+  with the new one. It's mainly due to the new magic system but also some other
+  changes. I'm sorry but this would be hard to write a converter since all
+  the realm change (they have more spells) and so the books too and also the
+  way to remember which spells are known, forgotten, tried...
+*********************************************************
+
+22/04/1999
+- Some new graphics from Andreas Koch
+- Fixed the wilderness generation bug which sometimes hung the computer when
+  trying to go on a wilderness border
+- The features(in f_info.txt) have some flags now. This allows me to create 2
+  new types of wall: The Glass walls which you can see through but that you
+  can't pass and the Illusion walls that you can pass but not see through
+- The screen is now correctly redrawn when leaving/entering a body
+- Add the Wands of Wall Creation
+- Death Mold powers have moved to the activation command('U')
+
+24/04/1999
+- Your are no longer crushed when flying over trees/mountain without being a
+  DragonRider
+- The Vanilla feelings are back
+
+26/04/1999
+- All the spellbooks are now placed on the top of the inventory.
+- The Sorcerors can now use the Wizard and Prior books
+- The new magic system is ready. I'm just waiting for Akhronath and Shawn
+  Cheng. And now adding a new realm or an old fashioned magic system is
+  performed the same way and easily
+- Add the Illusionists from Kangband. Someone has asked for them so... :)
+
+28/04/1999
+- Finished the Valarin Realm
+- Between gates are now allowed in the vaults. To place them place 2 times a
+  number from 0 to 7. I.e.(from weisiger <jmartin@inreach.com>):
+  D:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+  D:#,,,,,X&...@X..**&X....9X
+  D:#...&1X.,,,2X..**&X3...9X
+  D:#...&.X1,,,.X2.**3X....9X
+  D:#,,,,,X&...@X..**&X....9X
+  D:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+  But BEWARE ! You MUST put the 2 occurrences of the number, no check are done
+  so it'll surely crash or bug if not ! You've been warmed.
+- You can now walk over the water with a Valarin spell
+
+30/04/1999
+- A monster on a between gate when the player is using the other is teleported
+  to the player location
+- Add some Between vaults from weisiger
+- Added the Sigaldry realm
+- The Rings and Amulets are now allowed to be random artifacts
+- You can use the between gates in the special levels via the numbers 4,5,6,7,
+  8,9,0
+- Alchemists MUST wear gloves (no cesti nor gauntlets) in order to do alchemy.
+  They also begin the game with some gloves
+- Add a Potion of Learning which allow you to learn one more spell than you
+  normally can. No need to say that they are very rare
+- The more you learn spells in a realm the more efficient with that realm
+  you are
+
+02/05/1999
+- Implemented the Nether Realm
+
+09/05/1999
+- Magical stair at the bottom of each dungeon
+- Reworked the imprinted pet system, now it will work lot better
+- Add the scrolls of spell which can cast a spell like a book. They must be
+  created by the Sigaldry magic, they can't be randomly generated
+- Updated the Sigaldry realm
+- Added Staves of Wishing! You can wish for objects, monsters, spells but
+  NOT FOR ARTIFACTS nor for staves of wishing
+- Flying monsters can now pass over trees and mountains
+
+11/05/1999
+- The game will ask you to choose ammo from your inventory if your quiver is
+  empty
+
+26/05/1999
+- Add the Crusade Realm
+- Add some new inscriptions
+- It's now possible to add up to 32 realms
+
+03/06/1999
+- Wraith form is less powerful since it's not so rare. Now damage is only
+  divided by 5 and armor raised by 50
+
+05/06/1999
+- Add the speaking patch from Matt Graham. Just edit the monspeak.txt file
+  to add new entries. And don't hesitate to send me what you've added !
+
+11/06/1999
+- There are fewer gods and each god has one or two preferred races and if one of
+  this race pray to him they gain better benefits. Also the praying effects
+  are more differentiated (based on the different gods)
+- Add the 'only once' quest type
+- It's harder to please your deity
+- The Nazguls are MUCH more powerful (ideas from Akhronath):
+  ******** Quote from Akhronath mail ********
+  All weapons which are not ego-items cannot harm them, and will be destroyed if
+  the character hits a Nazgul with it. Ego-items which have slay evil or slay
+  undead can harm them, but each hit has a 25% chance of destroying the weapon.
+  Other ego-items can't damage them, and have the same 25% chance of
+  destruction. An artifact weapon will be able to hit them only if the weapon
+  has slay evil or undead, but the weapon will be hit with disenchantment every
+  time it connects (but this is negated with disenchantment resistance on the
+  character). And even these artifacts can be destroyed, although there's only a
+  5% chance. Other artifacts, of course, can't damage the Nazgul, and still have
+  the 5% destruction chance.
+
+  When a character does any damage to a Nazgul or is damaged by a Nazgul, he has
+  a 25% chance of being afflicted by the Black Breath. Thenceforth the character
+  will slowly be drained of experience and sanity. The character can stay alive
+  by using restoring and curing potions, but to cure the Black Breath he must
+  either drink a Potion of Life or eat (a new item) Athelas Leaf. (Athelas isn't
+  really eaten, of course, but I can't think of another simple way to implement
+  it.)
+
+  This will really make the player think twice before going up to a Nazgul, and
+  makes it very useful to carry spare weapons.
+  *******************************************
+  So if you encounter a Nazgul .... RUN AWAY !
+- Sensing the grid's mana is now done by pressing 'x' key to engrave the floor
+  The X key is free for some new function (maybe for the new riding system)
+
+17/06/1999
+- When browsing the spells while being a Power Mage there are no more bugs
+  when pressing escape
+- Removed the forbidden race/class combination feature. But it's always
+  possible to recompile PernAngband with it with the FORBID_BAD_COMBINAISON
+  define(in config.h)
+- New god : The RNG
+
+19/06/1999
+- The priest/prior/paladin's god is now chosen dependent on their race
+- I have enough of hunting those damn ghost bug which makes them unable to
+  move. So it's now a feature ! They don't move because they are GREAT
+  adventurers who now just want to stand there to find peace :)
+  Hey, fixing bugs is easy this way :))
+
+22/06/1999
+- When 'A'ctivating the first screen showed is the equipment and no more the
+  inventory
+- Some new gfx drew by Andreas Koch
+
+06/07/1999
+- You can place object kind in the special levels instead of artifacts by
+  using 1000+k_idx as the number instead of just the artifact index
+
+17/07/1999
+- Add the Yeek race, but not as in Zangband. It's the one from Drangband.
+  I was thinking of a race who advance even quicker than the humans in levels
+  since a long time and I've found it !
+  So they suffer lots of disadvantages but need less exp than the other
+races, i.e.: When a DragonRider comes to level 2 a Yeek can already be at
+  level 7 !!
+- Added the FLY attribute, it allows you to fly over trees and mountains
+  because it's no longer possible with the levitation one. It's also a lot
+  rarer since it's POWERFUL in Galgals and Mirkwood. DragonRiders have it
+  by default. There is also a change in the features flags, CAN_LEVITATE
+  means that you can just avoid them by floating over it (like a pit,
+  water, ...) and CAN_FLY means that you must have the FLY flag to cross it.
+
+19/07/1999
+- The monster's drop are now created at the same time as the monster is
+  created. First it disallows scumming of monster drops. And the most
+  important thing is that it will allow me to add the new ability of stealing
+  objects from monsters (everyone will be able to do it, but only Rogue will
+  be excellent at it). For the point of view of the player there is no change.
+  It may produce some strange object disappearance in the late game since
+  all the objects are generated with the dungeon. And thus it may need to
+  increment the maximum size of o_list in misc.txt. If such problems shows
+  up, email me.
+- Press 'Z'('[' in roguelike mode) to STEAL an item from a monster. The
+  success rate is based on your dexterity, the fact that you are or aren't
+  a Rogue (being one makes it easier), the weight of the object to steal and
+  the base level of the monster. A Rogue will also gain some experience
+  if he/she succeeds. This made them more Rogue and less Warriors.
+
+22/07/199
+- Add more graphics from Andreas Koch along with a new version of the editor
+
+26/07/1999
+- The resurrection effect of the gods is now harder to get and decreases a lot
+  more your grace. It was ... well ... too powerful for the cost of some
+  crappy artifacts
+- Finished the Magery realm created by Chris Weisiger (jmartin@inreach.com)
+
+03/08/1999
+- I've finally fixed it ! You know, this ugly bug that disallows the darkening
+  of the grass & mud tiles when they have been lit.
+
+18/08/1999
+- Yeah ! It's done! The new magic system is finished (I will add Spirit Realm
+  later). The final form is 4 Major Realms : Valarin, Nether, Magery, Shadow
+  and 4 Minor Realms : Crusade, Tribal, Sigaldry, Illusion.
+  The only problem is be that it could be unbalanced, especially the
+  Shadow realm since I've created it :)
+  Anyway it should be great. There are still a lot of old spells but some new
+  coloured funny spells for you to discover, as Control the Ring, Infuse Amulet,
+  Scribe Scroll, Doppleganger, Volcano Flow, Tidal Wave, and a lot of others!
+  The max number of spells a character can learn depends on his class. But
+  generally the player can learn fewer spells than the total number of spells he
+  has in all the books he can read.
+  I want to thank Akhronath (who has the first idea and who write some realms),
+  Shawn Cheng, Chris Weisiger and DSCreamer<DSCreamer@aol.com> for their great
+  help.
+- Moldoux can not appear at any other level than level 1
+
+21/08/1999
+- A new version of the Tile Editor plus a full set of graphs (expect the books)!
+- Moved the dungeon types definitions from tables.c to a new info file in the
+  lib directory: d_info.txt
+  It allows you to add new dungeon types easily.
+  There is also a brand new feature: You can specify which monster flags that
+  are NEEDED for a monster to be generated in the dungeon.
+  There is also an addition of dungeon flags. Here is the structure:
+  N:<index>:<name>
+  D:<long name>
+  W:<min depth>:<min depth>:<min player level>:<next dungeon>:<flags mode>:<min alloc>:<max alloc chance>
+  L:<floor1>:<%1>:<floor2>:<%2>:<floor3>:<%3>
+  A:<wall1>:<%1>:<wall2>:<%2>:<wall3>:<%3>:<outer wall>:<inner wall>
+  F:<flags>
+  M:<monster flags>
+  S:<monster spells>
+- The quest rewards are always good
+- I've finally found and fixed the Mirkwood Spiders Quest
+
+24/08/1999
+- Add the MAZE flag to the dungeon type flag list, which instead of a normal
+  dungeon generate a full big maze ! And it's EVIL ! Note that there will be
+  no rooms and no vaults generated, just a plain evil maze
+  The algorithm is from <Pierre.Bru@spotimage.fr> on rec.games.roguelike.development
+- Note about the dungeons : A dungeon can't have more than 40 levels
+- You can use SMALLEST, SMALL and BIG as dungeon flags to specify the level's
+  size
+- 6 new dungeon types: a Graveyard, an Illusory Castle, an Orc cave, a Maze
+  a Dragon's Lair and A Forest with specific gfxs and monsters restrictions
+- Some new gfx form Andreas Koch mostly to add more flavor to the towns
+
+29/08/1999
+- You can add a guardian and a guardian artifact to each dungeons types with
+  the following flags: FINAL_ARTIFACT_artifact_number and
+  FINAL_GUARDIAN_guardian_number
+
+29/08/1999 - PernAngband 4.0.0
+
+01/09/1999
+- Fixed the max_dlv non allocation error
+- Fixed the Tribal realm spell descriptions
+
+01/09/1999 - PernAngband 4.0.0b
+- New dungeon type, the Netherworld with Muar and the Wand of Fireball of
+  Mithrandir at the bottom
+- You can't gain a fate before being level 10
+- Some cosmetic changes suggested by Akhronath
+- A new Artifact by Akhronath, The Long Sword of Murazor 4d5, so ... the next
+  time you see a long sword 4d5, beware ...
+
+05/09/1999
+- Add a feature flag to allow running
+- Fixed the Chaos Warriors bug (they were unable to use magic !)
+- Fixed the Chaos Realm descriptions
+- You can't rest on a between gate
+- You can now steal from stores. But beware of the consequences if you fail...
+- Fixed a bug in that when recalling to the town the player was sometimes
+  placed in the upper left corner
+
+08/09/1999
+- Fixed a bug that disallowed the creation of entrances to some vaults
+
+14/09/1999
+- Fixed the Dragon Tower bug
+- Add minimum player level to the random dungeons
+- Add shafts, you can use them do go up/down for up to 4 levels(but you can't
+  ignore quest levels). Original patch from Static Chaos. Idea from GSN
+- Add a dungeon flags to forbid generation of doors
+
+27/09/1999
+- Some tweaks to the possessor code as written by Static Chaos i.e:
+  You must possess a monster that is able to open to door to do so. The
+  same applies to bashing. Your sex is modified by your body. Lots of tweaks
+  to the spells that can be used...
+- The racial power of the Dwarves is now the same as The Pick of Erebor
+  activation: they can find hidden passage in the walls
+- There is 1 chance in 10 that the level is an magical level, which means that
+  each grid will contain more mana than a normal level.
+- Add some new sentences to the monsters sentence lists
+
+04/10/1999
+- Began to add the Druid class. But it's TOTALLY different from the other
+  variant's Druids. They make intense use of the mana flow from within the
+  earth and the elements, thus their spells can regenerate the mana they have
+  used by pumping it from the floor, like the Tunnel spell which will blink
+  the player and will try to absorb enough mana form the grid he/she lands on.
+  They can also (and they are the only to be able to do that) regenerate the
+  mana flow of the earth. They also can use enhanced attack types called
+  Druidic Bolt/Beam/Ball that can follow a mana flow laid by the player.
+- The Druids can sense precisely the amount of mana of a grid
+
+08/10/1999
+- Added some revised graphics by Andreas Koch
+- Added the code provided by Alexey Guzeev(aga@russia.crosswinds.net) to
+  compile PernAngband under OS/2 with EMX
+- It's finally fixed ! the damn bug that was crashing the game when leaving
+  a town on certain system (Mac and Windows) ! this will never happen again !
+
+27/10/1999
+- Finished the Druid class. They have 40 spells (8 * 5 books). The spells that
+  activate Mana Runes is not active for now, but it will in a near future.
+- Add a slightly modified Tom Morton fake artifact patch (it won't print {} at
+  the end)
+
+30/10/1999
+- You can inscribe an object with !! to notify the player when it's recharged
+- Lots of bug fixes thanks to Lothar Lange <100644.2004@compuserve.com>
+- Lots of new ideas thanks to Lothar Lange <100644.2004@compuserve.com>
+
+30/10/1999 - PernAngband 4.0.1
+- "Foolish mortal! Thou hast not pleased me! I'll doom your game with the new
+  horrible DG curse !"
+  Yes I've done it, the DG curse is even worse than the TY one. One of it's
+  most perverse feature is that it can replicate itself to contaminate sane
+  objects that can't be cured. Also if you remove the curse of a DG cursed
+  object, it will recurse itself automatically !
+  Beware of the horrible Long Sword of Murazor because it carries the ancient
+  morgothian curse !
+  Oh, there are also some monsters that give the DG Curse when dying ... but
+  I'll let you find whose they are by yourself :-<|>  (Dark God makes an evil
+  smile). I can just say one thing : you should *REALLY* *NOT* kill Mathilde...
+  But do not worry she's got much more HP, so you can't kill her anymore :)
+
+01/11/1999
+- Add the Rod of Home Summoning, which acts like the old dragon spells
+  "Call Home"
+
+08/11/1999
+- Drastically reduced the recharging time of the Dragon Scale mails in order
+  to render them useful.
+- Added a new weapon ego-item: of Spinning, which will make you spin around
+  in order to hit every monster around you. Note that you'll only get one
+  blow for each monsters whatever your normal number of blow is.
+- Added (ok stolen) the question in the GSNband FAQ about wrists hurting (it can
+  be useful, so everyone should know)
+- Rogues and monks gain more and more stealth as they gain levels (SBF)
+- Added some sentences for the Dwarves (in monspeak.txt)
+- Added the support of two-handed weapons (from GSN). Thus there are weapons
+  that can be handled with two or one hand (but with one hand it halves the
+  damage). A 2 handed weapon can't be wielded with a shield.
+- Added the random character name generation from Cthangband
+- Added rivers (water & lava) from the Steven Fuerst fractal patch. Note that
+  you have to add WATER_RIVER, LAVA_RIVER, WATER_RIVERS or LVA_RIVERS to a
+  dungeon to have some rivers generated (actually in Mordor(lava), Dragon lair
+  (Lava) and Forest(Multiple Water))
+- Updated generate.c to the Steven Fuerst fractal patch room generator (using
+  room_alloc), in order to implement the remaining part of the patch easier.
+  But I'm still having problems adapting it to my extended dungeon generator.
+- Ahah ! I've resolved the problem !! there are now fractal rooms (15%, can be
+  always enabled by specifying the CAVE flag), now the orc caves looks great
+
+10/11/1999
+- Added the Caverns(enabled via the CAVERN flag)
+- Hell has been moved down, it now begins at level 666! :)
+
+12/11/1999
+- Add the Static Chaos persistent dungeon patch that save every level of a
+  dungeon (which has the PERSISTENT flag) on disk and reload it instead of
+  regenerating a new level.
+- Add the Outer World dungeon type (this is an entrance to a place of an
+  incredible stability). It use the PERSISTENT flag and thus will be saved.
+  Only level 50 characters can go there to prevent abuse(like have an old
+  ultra powerful character and a new one and going into the Outer World to
+  exchange some stuff). And yes the saved dungeons are the same for EVERY
+  characters. But to add ... err ... variety,  I've put it from level 300 to
+  305, I've put it to have at least 30 monsters from the beginning AND to have
+  an higher monster generation rate(1/60 instead of 1/160 !), thus you'll
+  NEVER get bored there :)
+- Implemented the much more complex trap system from Angband/64 thanks to the
+  patch made by Static Chaos. There is 169 traps (see tr_info.txt).
+  Beware that on average the traps are deadlier...
+- It comes along with a new feature for stat system: temporary stat drain,
+  it's cool
+
+14/11/1999
+- Renamed Power Batteries to Essences
+- The DG_CURSE can put the NEVER_BLOW flag on a weapon ... sadistic !!!
+
+16/11/1999
+- DSMs now have been granted the FLY flag
+
+19/11/1999
+- The monster memory now colors some important things about the monster (like
+  resists, speed, ...)
+- Fixed a wand of wishing bug, that made them sometimes NOT use a charge
+- Moved the special level DeathWatch to the Orc Cave
+- Moved the special level Treasure Room to the Maze so people are forced
+  to play those dungeons if they want the artifacts
+- Random quests will only occurs on PRINCIPAL dungeons (the one created by
+  splitting the vanilla dungeon into 4 smaller ones, Galgals, Mirkwood,
+  Mordor and Angband itself)
+- To prevent too many YASD from the DG curse of Mathilde she has now been
+  granted 22500 hp, but as usual she can't attack :))
+- Fixed a bug that disabled the guardian at the bottom of some dungeons
+
+25/11/1999
+- Added main-gcu from Angband/64 to allow larger screens
+- Added the new note command that dumps to a file from "Tom Morton"

+
+29/11/1999
+- Added the small trees (along with a new feature flag: SUPPORT_LIGHT) to
+  replace the walls in the Forest and Mirkwood
+- Some new gfx from Andreas, and the town of Bree with the new tiles
+
+02/12/1999
+- Add 4 dungeons by variaz@hotmail.com: Vanilla Dungeon(only from Vanilla Town,
+  The Small Water Cave, The Sacred Land Of Mountains(if you don't fly ...
+  do not even plan on going there),
+  The Wild Land Of Kurukar(It sure looks great)
+
+04/12/1999
+- New dungeon flags: HOT and COLD that affect object decay
+- Add YA*IF (Yet Another *_info File): wt_info.txt
+  It defines wilderness features *, allowing a better wilderness map. Since
+  it now defines nearly everything a wilderness need to have, the map itself
+  only have to be an array of feature and seed, thus allowing a much bigger
+  wilderness. I also plan to have a Omega wilderness mode where you can have
+  an overview of the wilderness to travel quicker (but time will pass much
+  quicker too:)
+  The structure of w_info is also changed, it's uglier but well .... :)
+  The wilderness size must be EXACTLY the same as the size defined in misc.txt.
+
+06/12/1999
+- Scrolls of Reset Recall are now WORKING !!!!!
+- The new wilderness mode is done ! When you reach the border of a wilderness
+  screen you go to the small scale wilderness map, where you can see all
+  the wilderness map with the towns/dungeons/... A lot of commands are
+  disabled there and moving takes MUCH more time, so beware of the food !
+  You can enter the big scale mode by pressing > (this allow you to enter towns)
+  NOTE: The Death Molds CAN'T reach the small scale mode because their
+  erratic movements are impossible to handle in such a scale.
+  BEWARE: Your imprinted pets WON'T follow you in the wilderness !!!
+
+11/12/1999
+- Add wilderness encounters
+- Add Oangband rod/wand stacking
+- Amulets of the Serpent from Sadi Khan <sadik@christa.unh.edu>:
+  Resist Poison, Dexterity, some AC and Poison breathing
+
+12/12/1999 - PernAngband 4.0.5
+
+18/12/1999
+- Updated the makefiles and renamed object3.c to traps.c
+- Add 5 new essences from Sadi Khan: Force, Darkness, Lightning, Mana and
+  Knowledge
+- Fixed the bug that was placing the player at the town entrance when
+  leaving a building
+
+20/12/1999
+- Add the tool slot. It's actually only used to wield a shovel/pick but I've
+  some plans for it
+- You can only dig walls if you use a shovel/pick in your tool slot
+
+24/12/1999
+- Removed the player ghosts, well in fact made them a compile-time option(see
+  config.h)
+
+26/12/1999
+- Added the Necromancer class. But again not quite the same as you've seen
+  before. They can't be killed as easily as the other class. In fact when
+  their HP comes to 0 they don't die but become undead for a while. While
+  being undead their HP is replaced by DP(Death Points) that have a max
+  inferior to the max HP and that are slowly decreasing(1 DP less each turn).
+  They can use all the healing spells/potions/... but this won't stop them
+  from being reduced again. The only way for them to come back in the world
+  of the living is to kill 2 * player_level monsters.
+
+01/01/2000
+- Happy New Year !
+
+02/01/2000
+- Add a new curse(as suggested by LucFrench@aol.com). When a weapon has this
+  curse and that the wielder attacks a monster with it, it can clone it !
+  And it's REALLY REALLY annoying, especially when fighting some kinds of
+  wyrms :)
+
+10/01/2000
+- Finally fixed the flags shown on the character display.
+- The quit without save command(CTRL + L) is now a compile time option disabled
+  by default
+- The Necromancer class now has 5 spells (used the same way as the mindcrafter
+  powers)
+
+17/01/2000
+- Power gained by levelling artifacts has been reduced
+- New unique monster: The Greater Lag Monster... beware :)
+- AHAHHAHAH ! I got it ! the wilderness bug that made the game crash when
+  entering a town is fixed ! And the wilderness system has been greatly
+  improved.
+  Now to switch the wilderness mode, just press < or >.
+  Everything should now works properly
+
+16/02/2000
+- Each Nazgul will now drop his Ring of Power. They are randomly generated
+  and thus they don't appear in a_info.txt. They always give invisibility,
+  life draining and are heavy cursed.
+
+21/02/2000
+- Changed the format of w_info.txt again, it's much more readable now.
+  I also added a additional parameter to the W lines of wf_info to define
+  which letter will be used in w_info.txt
+- 60x20, this is the scale of the new wilderness, it tries to looks like
+  the 3rd age middle earth map. Thus some dungeons leaved the towns they
+  were used to be to join their "real" place on the map. Only the Upper
+  Reaches of Galgals are still reachable from Bree.
+
+24/03/2000
+- Added a small hack from Static chaos to allow running faster with the
+  overhead map enabled.
+
+24/03/2000 - PernAngband 4.0.6
+- Possessors now have a MUCH better pseudo id, equal to warrior's one
+
+06/04/2000
+- Changed the wilderness map with the one provided by Gwidon S. Naskrent
+  (naskrent@artemida.amu.edu.pl). It's bigger, it's better :)
+- Fixed a bug with the chasm opening inscription
+
+08/04/2000
+- Fixed a bug with the staff of wishing
+- Druids can now pass through trees
+- Stairs are now noticed again (when you see one it will stay on your screen
+  even when out of torch radius)
+
+10/04/2000
+- When a Necromancer turns into an undead he/she/it gets cured of everything
+
+05/05/2000
+- MAYBE fixed the damn wild bug ... again ? oh please GREAT RNG help me !
+
+08/05/2000
+- Added the Notes patch from Chris Kern. That allows you to get a .txt file
+  recording great events in your life, your notes, ...
+  Very useful I think
+
+11/05/2000
+- Fixed the artifact wands stacking bug
+- Removed the Netherworld dungeon
+- Added the Moria dungeon, it's not random and can be found in ... the moria
+  mountain chain :) There is Muar waiting you at the bottom, guarding the
+  Quarterstaff of Olorin
+- Waldern, the king of water is back, and he is the final monster of the
+  small water cave, guarding a the Trident of Ulmo. But beware it is more
+  powerful than in vanilla
+- Dungeon guardians and dungeon guarding's artifacts can only be generated
+  in their respective dungeons

+  amount of monsters that are affected by the dungeon specific restrictions
+- Random dungeons now appear on the overhead wilderness view
+- COULD IT BE !!!!!! yes it could !!!! thanks to Tom Demuyt that sent me a
+  savefile where he wasn't able to learn spells, I may have finally fixed the
+  dreaded spell bug !!!! I say may because I'm waiting for some fellow
+  mac user to compile it to see if it really fixes the bug.
+- IT WASN'T ! but now it *IS* !!!!
+  That was an other bug. And now Gob, the great Gob, the powerful Gob,
+  found the dreaded mac spell bug !!! thanks Gob !!!!
+- Changed the price for Runes/Essences to be more accurate
+- Changed some uniques in r_info to their former vanilla glory
+- The look command can now show the trap's types
+
+18/05/2000
+- Fixed some typos(thanks whimsy)
+- Began to add the Body parts system to allow more rings, weapons,
+  everything, depending on your current corpse (dragons will have more rings,
+  mariliths 2 weapons, ...)
+- If your corpse allows the use of more than one weapon, you can use them :)
+  let see a Sorceror using Ringil AND Gandalf ! :) well first he has to find
+  the rare scroll to change body and then to find a corpse that allows 2
+  weapons
+- Changed color of shafts (brown now) because they were hardly visible
+- Flying no longer allows passing over mountains, you MUST have a Climbing Set
+

+- r_info is modified to give all monsters some inventory slots. the format is
+  E:weapon:torso:arms:finger:head:legs
+
+27/05/2000 - PernAngband 4.0.7
+- add a new dir to lib, DNGN which contain the definition of the LEVELS
+  not the dungeons. one file for each level named dun$dungeon$.$level$
+  In it you can have some declarations, like B:dungeontype which will
+  create a stairway to an other dungeon, thus allowing to have "branches"
+  in the dungeons.
+  L:dungeontype and L:level specify which is the "father" dungeon and at which
+  level the stair appear.
+  S:ext means to save the level(and thus to reload it) in the player.ext file
+  so allowing the use of persistent levels(the persistent dungeons option
+  is gone)
+
+29/05/2000
+- Necromancers can use the Nether realm in addition to their old set of
+  powers(now accessible through 'U')
+
+01/06/2000
+- Boomerangs of spinning are no longer allowed (that was silly)
+- Increased the rarity of the ULTIMATE artifacts (Magestaff of Gandalf,
+  Longsword of Eru, Seeker Bolt/Xbow of the Elves)
+- Fixed the displaying of attributes under the 'C'haracter display
+
+-04/06/2000
+- Players can now choose which kinds of monsters they don't want in their game
+  at birth (wipe all Pern monsters, all Cth, monsters, joke monsters, ..)
+  Note that monsters in fixed quests are not affected.
+  Thanks Static Chaos.

+
+02/07/2000
+- Only priest-like characters can use the Valarin realm
+- Removed all the references to Logrus
+- Tunnelling rubble will place the standard floor of the current dungeon and
+  not the floor feature
+- Grow trees no longer crashes when used near the dungeon edge
+
+05/07/2000
+- Fixed the character dump resistances
+- When a full character dump is requested (upon death) the self-knowledge
+  screen is used instead of the grid of abilities, that looks better :)
+- Fixed a bug in the placement of stairs which sometimes led to a stairway
+  to another dungeon when not requested
+- Fixed the bug that generated 'unknown' grids
+- Should now compile (nearly) without any warnings
+- Fixed the mountain bug that hung the game when entering mountain chains
+  in the wilderness
+
+07/07/2000
+- Some more monsters from Angband/64 and some more work on r_info from
+  Static Chaos. That brings the number of monsters to ... 1023 !
+- Damage taken from going between is divided by (ac / 50) + 1
+  So between 0 and 49 ac it's full damage, between 50 and 99 it's half
+  damage and so on
+- Greater Hell Beasts now have .. 1 hp :)
+
+11/07/2000
+- Add the Unbeliever class, they are anti magicians. Great warriors, they
+  have the worst magic device skill of all the classes, they continuously
+  generate an anti-summoning field around them disabling monsters from
+  summoning. The radius of the field increase with levels. After level 20
+  they can also disrupt the magic continuum, thus getting the same effects
+  as Anti-Magic, Anti-Tele and The Stone of Lore(nobody on the level can
+  teleport)
+
+13/07/2000
+- Add an option to auto tunnel walls when bumping into them.
+  NOTE that it'll ALWAYS take a turn then, so beware...
+- Really fixed the note taking bug (ok stole the fix from Zangband :) )
+- Changed the object description so now it's "Smeagol's Corpse" instead of
+  "The Smeagol's Corpse"
+
+13/07/2000 - PernAngband 4.0.9
+
+29/07/2000
+- Orc Barrack's between doors are fixed
+- God favor is reinitialized upon birth

+
+31/07/2000
+- Fixed lots of compilation warnings thanks to Static Chaos
+- Added the random vaults and crypt vaults from Zangband with the help of
+  Static Chaos

+- Word of Destruction is no longer allowed in quests
+- Add a fate spoiler created by Dustin Ragan
+- Removed the old new player ghosts implementation
+- Added the new old player ghost implementation (stolen from Drangband)
+- Rod system have been totally reworked. Now you can find "base" rods without
+  power (rods of nothing) with a certain quality (wooden, iron, ...) on which
+  depends the amount of mana they contain. You can also find rod tips which
+  contain the real spells but cannot be activated alone. You must attach (with
+  the 'z' command) a rod tip to a base rod before using it. The spells of the
+  different rod tips need different amounts of mana (so illumination is less
+  mana-hungry than healing) :). You can also have base rods ego-items (artifacts
+  soon) that can decrease the mana cost of the spell, increase the capacity
+  of the rod, decrease the time needed to zap the rod, ...
+  Oh BTW, you should be eager to get an Adamantite Rod of Healing of the
+  Istari :)
+  Now rods will hopefully be useful.
+  Note that you have to identify the base rod to get the mana indicator
+- Note files are now playername.nte instead of playername.txt
+So if you want your note file to be carried to the next version you'd better
+  rename it :)
+- Fixed a bug that prevented Azog from being generated at the bottom of the Orc
+  Caves
+
+07/08/2000
+****************** IMPORTANT *****************
+- Removed the Python support because it was slowing the game, adding
+  weight to the executable (and thus to the archive), was mainly unused,
+  and was never present in some ports
+**********************************************
+
+09/08/2000
+- Unbelievers are now much better at perception, and actually become even

+- Pseudo-id inscriptions are no longer part of the real inscription of an object
+  and thus ... it's better :)
+- Tribal spell "Life Drain" now reduces your stat permanently 30% of the time
+  and the other 70% it can be cured via restore stats pots. The damage is now
+  always 50d50 and is no longer affected by mage staves of spell
+- Tribal spell "Meditate" no longer hastes/heals you
+  (it still heals your sanity) and the glyphs' radius have been decreased
+- Add the Trap of Acquirement that will give a great object and then mutate
+  into an other trap. It can never be identified and the color varies.
+  Idea from Iain
+- When casting charm upon monsters only the non-pet ones will be affected
+- Elder Aranea HP reduced
+- Small trees are burned by fire
+- Randomly activated mutations are no longer activated in the overview
+  wilderness
+- Ghoulkings are now z instead of p
+- Thrown potions now give xp when killing by a ball effect
+- Scrolls of reincarnation have been removed now you can only find scrolls of
+  deincarnation. To reincarnate into a new body 'U'se the appropriate power
+- Recharging is now useful again
+- Breeders should be a BIT slower
+- Reduced mutation chance of breeders from 7% to 3%
+
+03/09/2000
+- New, unified store/building code
+
+08/09/2000
+- Add quest plots. Feature 75, 76, 77, 78 are now permanent walls but used
+  as quest plot info holders. Before the new building code quest info was
+  stored in the building feature but now all stores/buildings use the same
+  feature(74) and the "special" value defines them.
+- Add semi-random towns. Now if the ' ' (space) character is used in the town
+  definition this grid will be replaced by the feature calculated by the
+  plasma generator as if it was a normal wilderness screen. So the forest of
+  Lothlorien is plasma generated and not fixed. It add variety and consistency
+  with the rest of the wilderness
+- All towns are now updated to the new store/building code
+- Removed the "you are being crushed" bug when going in the overview map thanks
+  to Iain McFall (as usual :) )
+
+10/09/2000
+- When you use a 2 handed weapon and press 'e' the equipment list will show
+  the weapon(and some info) in the shield slot too
+- Monsters can't have fewer arms than weapons
+- Mimics have been upgraded. They now have 5 powers. First is to use books of
+  lore as before. Second is invisibility. The other ones are Mimicries.
+  There are 3 mimicries, legs mimicry, wall mimicry and arms mimicry.
+  Legs and arms mimicry will "create" a new body part (or some) for a certain
+  duration. Wall mimicry will make the caster able to walk in walls (he becomes
+  a wall) but ONLY in walls .. not on floor .. so beware with this one
+
+27/09/2000
+- For your god to resurrect you need 3 times more grace and your grace
+  will drop to -100000
+
+30/09/2000

+- More spell effect will affect the dungeon, for example, fire will melt ice,
+  nether will kill trees, fire will create ash, cold will freeze water, ...
+  thanks to Static Chaos again :)
+- Cleaned up the feature code again (that was a REALLY messy part of angband...
+  and especially of Zangband)
+- Note: Sandwalls can be dug WITHOUT any digging tools
+- Teleport scrolls/staves are back in the shops
+- Mages, Wizards and Sorcerors now only get a wand of fire bolt at birth
+- Finally fixed the Alchemists extracting powers
+- Fixed numerous bugs thanks to KUSUNOSE Toru

+  glacier :)
+
+18/11/2000
+- Debug commands are allowed in the overview map, but beware, do not create
+  objects & monsters there ...
+- The wilderness map is no longer fully known, you have to explore it
+- New wild.c file to support all wilderness functions
+- Maps can be found to reveal some places of the wilderness
+
+27/11/2000
+- Exp gaining weapons will gain levels way slower
+- Ring & Amulet random artifacts will only be "Ring of foo" and not
+  "Ring of Slow digestion of foo"
+
+30/11/2000
+- Level gaining Artifacts have been significantly toned down
+- Sauron lost his chances to drop The One Ring
+- Blood of Life potions & Staves of Wishing are more rare

+
+29/12/2000
+- New r_info.txt with the HAS_LITE flag, thanks to Static Chaos :)
+- Now some monsters can have a light around them
+
+03/01/2001
+- Phial of Galadriel and Phial of Undeath now use the same symbol(yellow ~)
+
+06/01/2001
+- Fates now show up in the character dump (thanks Kusunose)
+- Scrolls of Divination are more friendly now (thanks Kusunose)
+- Artifacts in monster inventories not yet seen are not shown in the
+  artifact list (thanks Kusunose)
+
+08/01/2001
+- Zweihanders are now 2-handed weapons(as they always should have been :) )
+
+11/01/2001
+- Ego Rods are now "xxx rod of egoname of power" and not
+  "xxx rod of power of egoname"
+- Fixed some typos(parchEment, NumeRoNean, ...)
+- Fixed a bug with junk randarts
+
+18/01/2001
+- Gods now need more sacrifices
+- Disabled the monster lite feature right now because it's HORRIBLY buggy
+- The Sandworm Queen will now drop the Sandworm armour when killed
+
+03/02/2001
+- Now you can separate a dungeon entrance from a dungeon exit on the
+  wilderness map using the WILD_ix_iy__ox_oy flag in d_info.txt.
+  ix, iy are the coordinates on the wilderness map of the entrance.
+  ox, oy are the coordinates of the exit.
+  Note that each of them(entrance and exit) must have a physical entrance
+  on the wilderness map(that is a line in w_info.txt).
+  When you use the entrance to enter you get to the first level but when you
+  use the exit to enter you get to the last level.
+  So now you can have dungeons that create shortcuts in the map.
+  Or even allow to go in previously unreachable places(like now the dungeon
+  of Moria allows you to reach a secret valley in the Mountains of the Moria
+  which allow getting to some other dungeons)
+- Fixed a bug with fountains (yeah, fountains of the Blood of Life were quite
+  unbalancing :)
+- Priests can't use Tribal magic anymore
+- Mages can't use Crusade & Illusion Magic anymore
+- Rogues can't use Crusade anymore
+
+05/02/2001
+- Found why under certain circumstances forbidden objects could still be
+  generated (and that's also fixed now :) )
+- Dungeons & Monsters can now have object themes (yeah I know, I stole that
+  from Zangband, though the dungeon theme was in my head for long, but
+  when I steal I do admit it ...)
+  For example The Sandworm lair is really full of magical items, while the
+  Orc Caves are more on the side of the weapons & armors. And the Dragon Lair
+  is filled with ... oh well everything :) and so on.
+  So it's now really worth to get out of the 4 basic dungeons and see the
+  wild world!
+  All dungeons are done with the themes, it could take a bit longer for
+  the (1031) monsters... :)
+  NOTE: Dragon Scale Mails are considered TREASURES
+
+07/02/2001
+- Ego Monsters, yes like Ego items but for monsters. New file re_info.txt
+  defines all possible ego monsters types (skeletons, zombie, ...). It can
+  modify, the flags, spells, level, speed, ac, ... of the monster that is
+  turned into an ego monster.
+  This will increase the randomness of the game, increase the number of
+  monsters from 1031 to .. a lot... :)
+  There are not much ego monsters right now, so feel free to submit them
+
+09/02/2001
+- Sorcerors can't use much armor
+- Beastmasters have been give access to the Tribal realm, the Beastmaster's
+  powers are now available through the 'U' key
+- Player Raise death spells will now really create an undead. For example
+  you cast raise death upon a kobold corpse and you can get a Skeleton Kobold,

+- Narya activation is now Healing (500)
+- Nenya activation is now Healing (800)

+- Alchemist artifact creation now requires player level magic essences to
+  work. The stats are permanently reduced upon failure (as it always meant to

+  This should reduce the number of mad alchemists :)
+- Dark Swords as a new item type. They generate an antimagic field of 50%
+  minus the sum of the enchantment (a +5+5 one will only do 40%) on a
+  5 tile radius (also minus the enchantment)
+- Unbelievers now generate a (player level)% antimagic field on a distance of
+  (player level / 10)
+- An antimagic field disables any form of magic on the user, and can prevent
+  monsters from casting spells (not breathing). A 50% antimagic field will have
+  a 50% chance of stopping a spell
+
+18/02/2001

+- Fixed a bug that allowed people in quests to use the '<' key to get to the
+  wilderness timescale
+- Fixed a quest bug that allowed players to regenerate the quest many times
+- The Control the Three shadow spell is now much much more effective, since
+  it removes black breath and DG_CURSE. The only little annoying thing is that

+  accomplished with either the Possessor class (though they CAN'T cast the
+  spell -- no hope for them) or The Scroll of Deincarnation
+
+10/03/2001

+  few turns. For example a player in the Nether Realm will be hurt by nether
+  every 3 turns for a damage of 10d10.
+  The syntax is(up to 4 lines):
+  E:<dice>d<sides>:<frequency>:<attack type>
+- Volcano now does 2d10 damage each 10 turns, beware scrolls on the floor :)

+  It enforces vanilla town and makes you start at level 98, you can't recall
+  and need to reach town
+- Trap doors can't appear at the last level of dungeons or in non dungeons
+- The concept of non-dungeon places: some "dungeons" got the FLAT flag
+  meaning they are  ... flat, like a forest
+- The concept of Towers, going up instead of down
+- Updated birth.txt to take in account the race modifiers
+- Wood Elves can go through trees
+- Ammo similar to the one in your quiver will always be picked up
+
+20/04/2001
+- The death fate is way different now. When the player enters level he is
+  fated to die on he gets teleported to a special level in a special dungeon.
+  the level is empty, small and full of really out of depth monsters. Recall,
+  genocide, ... are forbidden. There are no stairs, the only way to leave it is
+  to kill every single monster of the level. Then the player is teleported
+  back to town. Chance of surviving are *LOW* but not nonexistent :)
+- The knowledge rune will now probe monsters
+- Runecrafters are now playable (new damage formula) even at low levels !
+  Now lets hope they are not TOO powerful :)
+- Runecrafters upgraded. They can now:
+        1) Cast a spell on the fly (as before)
+2) Cast a runespell they memorized before (can memorize up to 100)
+        3) Cast it from a carved runestone (uses 75% mana and does NOT need the
+           runes to be present in the inventory, but consumes the runes during
+           creation and it must be carried around to be used)
+- Mormegil is now a Darksword and is quite nice
+- Lesser & Greater Krakens now drop corpses
+
+24/04/2001

+  are took from the possible shops in st_info.txt with the RANDOM flag

+29/04/2001
+- Some Spelling/Grammar fixes in lib/help/ -- Improv
+- Levelling artifacts will now use a new scheme:
+  There are now groups of abilities (the Fire realm, the Cold Realm and so on)
+  Whenever a weapon goes up a level, it gets to either:
+  1.  become enchanted by +2/+1
+  2.  gain another attribute from a group it already has.
+  3.  gain +1 to hit, and a point.
+  when a weapon gains a certain number of points, it might buy access to a new
+  group. Note that some groups can contain good AND bad abilities
+- Pet shop now sells scrolls of summon never moving pets
+- Lots of fixes (ammo weight, god flags, ...) thanks to Kusunose Toru

+- Fixed some other spelling problems, notably in cmd7.c -- Improv
+
+13/05/2001
+- Reworked the old (ugly) activatable mutations, race powers, ... system to a
+  new unified one. Race, subrace, class powers are defined in the tables in
+  tables.c. Now the new system will allow for artifacts to grant powers, it
+  also allow intrinsic powers (i.e. you quaff The Potion of Blinking
+  and from now on you can blink at will)

+  produce cmovie files. It's disabled by default, if you want to play with
+  it, play with z-term.c ... Until I incorporate a cmovie player into
+  Pernangband, you can use the one I wrote for MY roguelike MoLD, available
+  at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mold/ . Little plug there. -- Improv

+- Moved options around

+- Monsters that can suicide cannot be random quest monsters
+- Alchemist artifact creation totally changed. It now takes player level
+  essences of magic and 1 hp to "imbue" a normal non-artifact, non-ego item
+  into a pseudo artifact.
+  You will then wield/wear it and it'll gain some xp when you do
+  (reducing the amount you gain)

+  Now you must fear even dead monsters
+- The Phial of Undeath now has a radius of 5
+- Unique monsters list is now sorted (but Morgoth is always at the bottom)
+- Add monster traps from PsiAngband. Rogues can now set them (with the powers
+  menu, 'U' key)
+  Direct quote from Psiband change file:
+  Rogues can set traps for monsters. This requires a "trapping kit" as a trigger
+  and something to "load" the trap with.
+  All scrolls, potions, wands, staffs and rods can be used (with the appropriate
+  trigger) as traps to confuse, poison, teleport, genocide, ... unwary monsters.
+  But standing next to a trap with area effects will hurt the player, too.
+  There are also traps that shoot ammo: hidden catapults, bows and xbows.
+
+  Some monsters can disarm traps, and a monster that has disarmed one of your
+  traps will learn how to disarm all of them...
+
+  Ammo Traps can have (+hit,+dam) just like bows. They can also be enchanted.
+  All traps can have a [+AC] showing how hard it is to disarm it.

+  It asks for a name (it will add the extension itself) and then if you wish
+  to play or record it.
+  The cmovie files (.cmv) are located in lib/cmov, note that they quickly
+  become huge and so you REALLY should compress them before sending to friends

+  like a game of life)
+  EVOLVE will make a LIFE_LEVEL be continuously parsed by the cellular
+  automaton algorithm while the player moves, resulting in a living effect
+- New dungeon: The Heart of the Earth, branching on level 25 of Mirkwood
+  it uses the evolving algorithm :)
+- Added the new Minas Anor (one map screen total).  Fully functional
+  (except for the random terrain via the plasma generator *hint,
+  hint -> DG*)  --Mynstral
+- Moved the rarity of the Phial of Undeath to the one of Galadriel
+- Add Death Orb monster as suggested by Prfnoff a long time ago.
+  They only move when in LOS. They multiply (quickly) and can hit to parasite
+  which will make a new death orb spawns out of you later
+- Fixed a bug in cmovie that messed up the recording when the user specified
+  different char than the normal ones
+- Loadsave work is now pretty much complete. Barring the addition of
+  transparent compression, which might happen later, there shouldn't be any
+  reason why savefile compatibility should ever break again. -- Improv
+
+24/06/2001
+- Several bugfixes -- Kusunose
+      Player's symbol was never displayed if VARIABLE_PLAYER_GRAPH or
+      USE_GRAPHICS was #undef'ed

+
+03/07/2001
+- Fixed a long-lived bug with power mages. This greatly affects play-balance
+  with them -- no longer will the cost of many of their high level spells
+  be merely 1 mana. Also, removed some of their effects that never really
+  worked anyhow. -- Improv
+
+07/07/2001

+
+13/07/2001

+- Race selection screen made more user friendly with race desc
+
+14/07/2001
+- Reworked the spell system
+  Now each spell got a level that you increase as you learn it more and more.
+  The higher the spell level is the more damage it does, the more time it
+  lasts and such.
+  Also each class have a specific max on the number of levels they can achieve
+  in each spells. This should help the high mage class since they get twice the
+  max level of mages. Also illusionists gets more than mages.
+  Also note that sometimes one more level wont change anything while 2 or 3
+  more WILL change. And lastly some spells are not affected by levels at all
+  One last thing, sorcerors cannot learn spells and thus cannot increase their
+  spell level which will always be 1
+- Player races now have inherent body parts, so a deathmold cannot use

+[I]- The target prompt will indicate if the targetted monster is a quest
+     monster or not
+
+12/11/2001
+[m]- Updated main-xaw.c to that from the same version as main-x11.c
+     i.e. 2.9.2. It now reacts pref colours and has graphics mode
+     (doesn't work with 8bpp though).  CAVEAT: main-x11.c and main-xaw.c
+     should free unused colours after allocating new one. -- pelpel
+[G]- Troll galde quest only available at night
+[G]- Genocide is forbiden in the last alliance quest
+[G]- Invasion of gondolin quest will wait the end of the current quest to be
+     generated

+     to the savefile without ever breaking the compatibility !
+     See an example ofthat in test.lua
+[B]- SPECIAL_GENE objects were generated out of context -- pelpel
+[B]- Inappropriate monsters could be assigned to randquests in
+     rare occasions. CAVEAT: it now uses an infinite loop to
+     avoid illegal choices! -- pelpel
+
+14/11/2001
+[G]- New quest, try cahtting with maggot instead of killing him, you murderer !
+[m]- Re-implemented object allocation table caching -- pelpel
+
+15/11/2001
+[B]- Inserted /* Paranoia */ code in kind_is_theme() to prevent "(Nothing)"
+     from generated due to missing drop theme in r_info. Player ghosts
+     had this behaviour as far as I know -- pelpel
+[m]- Changed the rand quest reward generation to make it compatible with
+     yesterday's fix -- pelpel
+[O]- Added new ego rod, of simplicity, thanks to Runescyre for the idea

+
+16/11/2001
+[I]- Stole the death screen of KaMband, much nicer :)

+     name or a shortcut if the command have one(usualy a command have a 1
+     letter name and a complete name). You can also press ? or help to get
+     the list of commands
+[I]- The time command is avaiable again for roguelike command set in the form
+     of the t/time extended command
+[I]- D/html-dump extended command to take an html screenshot
+[I]- Quest list is now ordered by danger level

+27/11/2001
+[I]- Added an option to allow the @ to turn into a number when health
+     drops. ideas from Mangband/PernMangband
+
+28/11/2001
+[m]- ANGBAND_DIR_USER is moved to ~/.pernangband on multiuser systems
+     (Unix, GNU/Linux), according to DG's preference, and against the
+     V/Z way... IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 422color USERS: please move
+     422color.prf to lib/pref directory -- pelpel
+
+30/11/2001
+[B]- I forgot to give Tom Demuyt credits for the Unbelievers idea.
+
+01/12/2001
+[m]- Updated makefile.bcc. It now supports lua4. -- Kusunose

+[m]- Some patches from Kieron, thanks
+[I]- Kieron save squelch patch, modified to not save from chars to chars

+
+05/12/2001
+[P]- New class from Luc French, the Blade, weaponless fighter able to dodge
+     melee & some spells

+     obtain multiple copies (buglist??) -- pelpel
+[B]- Fates could be lost during level regeneration (auto_scum and/or
+     too many objects/monsters) -- pelpel
+[B]- (GTK)Fixed terribly stupid menu crash bug -- pelpel
+[B]- Climbing sets can now be pluralized thanks to John Q. Smith

+[I]- No more annoying infighting monster messages when turning disturb_other
+     off

+13/12/2001
+[M]- Krakens lost their 6 ring slots, the tentacles are too big to put

+[B]- The Phial and other activatable items didn't have (charging) message
+     -- pelpel
+[B]- There were extra spaces after names of unique corpses -- pelpel
+
+14/12/2001
+[B]- Detected traps should prevent running now -- pelpel
+[B]- The easy disarm code used easy_disarm and always_pickup flags in a very
+     strange way, resulting in undesirable pickup behaviours -- pelpel
+[B]- "Grass with flowers" shouldn't disturb running now -- pelpel
+
+15/12/2001
+[B]- Entrances to vaults used dungeon-themed terrain features,
+     sometimes making it impossible to dig them through -- pelpel
+[B]- DG's 27/11 mod is conditionalised to avoid doing so in the graphics
+     modes, because it hardcoded characters and breaks the graphics support
+     -- pelpel
+[B]- Mimic features are cleared when overwritten by streamers, to
+     avoid, say, tree-looking deep water -- pelpel
+
+16/12/2001
+[I]- Added overlay graphics for ego monsters, player subraces and traps
+     -- Kusunose
+[I]- Added 'search by name' feature to '/' command. -- Kusunose
+
+17/12/2001
+[I]- Player now drops out of the overhead wilderness view when becoming hungry/
+     emptying lite

+[B]- Symbiontic power, scare and blind, was misordered, thanks to
+     kobayasi-san.  -- Kusunose
+
+18/12/2001
+[I]- Graphics overlay for the three X11 ports (untested). It requires
+     USE_TRANSPARENCY and USE_EGO_GRAPHICS. USE_TRANSPARENCY was ugly,
+     but this... -- pelpel
+[I]- Graphics overlay for the two Macintosh ports, again, untested -- pelpel
+[I]- Add ra_info.txt (randart generator info file) thanks to Runescrye
+
+19/12/2001
+[I]- Graphics overlay for the DOS port (USE_DOS). Also fixed a bug in
+     the overlay support in the Mac ports. I removed always_pict
+     code from the GTK+ port, because it's really slow, judging from
+     the graphics performance on the Mac ports which use the mode
+     to support tile width/height customisation -- pelpel
+[B]- Left good_item_flag for special levels, but adjusted rating boost
+     a bit, because later fixes made +50 boost unnecessary
+     Also toned down the rating boost for randquests -- pelpel
+[D]- New quest in Dol Guldur
+
+21/12/2001
+[B]- Fixed the very old artefact generation bug (present in
+     Angband 2.7.8 -- 2.8.2) that forced "special artefacts" to be
+     generated in the a_info.txt order. It is really problematic
+     in Pern because of the depth of the Phial -- pelpel
+
+22/12/2001
+[B]- A Beorning's father was a Storm Giant sometime, and A Petty-Dwarve
+     was one of several children of a Nibelung.  -- Kusunose
+
+23/12/2001
+[B]- Fixed a bug that allowed to throw items with CURSE_NO_DROP.
+     -- Kusunose
+[m]- Added spell spoiler creation in wizard mode.  -- Kusunose
+
+24/12/2001
+[m]- (Mac)Eliminated busy waits in CheckEvents and TERM_XTRA_DELAY.
+     It works well on my machine, but I left the original code using
+     "#if 1/0" just in case -- pelpel
+[I]- Player now drops out of overhead wilderness view if a vampire and it's
+     daylight
+
+25/12/2001
+[B]- Reintroduced OoD restriction on randquest monsters (until dlev 49)
+     -- pelpel
+[B]- a fix for RNG problem with 64-bit machines, taken from V(?) -- pelpel
+
+27/12/2001
+[I]- Basic IRC facilities! 3 new extended commands: C to connect
+     D to disconnect and : to chat. Highly experimental.
+[B]- Find artefact fate could cause permanent loss of artefacts. The code
+     now tries to create a randart when there are no good choices instead
+     of always defaults to the Phial -- pelpel
+[B]- Randquests sometimes requested players to kill slain uniques,
+     making it impossible to continue the game -- pelpel
+[B]- (Carbon)Removed the dialogue indicating errors in AEProcessAppleEvent,
+     because an r.g.r.a post pointed out that this can be quite annoying
+     and Apple says they should generally be ignored -- pelpel
+[I]- DOS support for the irc client, needs libsocket:
+     http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/lsck/lsck.htm
+[O]- Updated ra_info, thanks to Runescrye !
+[I]- X11 Support for the IRC client.
+
+29/12/2001
+[G]- a New randquest type !
+[B]- Companions cannot be hurt by the player anymore
+
+30/12/2001
+[B]- Reduced all force spells because of the side effects of force attacks
+[M]- Monster breathing/casting force attacks will bounce the player.
+     Just like player's force attacks bounce monsters :)
+[M]- Fixed the IRC client some more.
+
+01/01/2001 - PernAngband 5.1.0 aka "Into the Fire"
+
+2002/02/19
+[B]- Normal (non-vampire) races didn't get mana regenerated at Inn -- pelpel
+[B]- The Mathom house acted like a normal shop when selling.  -- Kusunose
+[B]- '-s' crashed the game. Thanks kobayashi for the fix -- pelpel
+[O]- Combining rod and rod tip now considers rod's cheapness flag.
+     -- Kusunose
+[B]- Beastmaster Shanty overpayed a bounty if monster's corpses are stacked.
+     -- Kusunose
+[B]- The random text code left files open in many error cases -- pelpel
+
+2002/02/20
+[B]- WeaponMasters were not restricted with their weapons.  -- Kusunose
+[B]- Info text of 'disrupt mind' was described as 'dam'.  -- Kusunose
+[B]- Fixed the "automatic ego filter" bug in the squeltch filter -- pelpel
+
+2002/02/26
+[B]- The polymorph random effect could crash the game. Thanks Kevin W.
+     Thomas for the detailed analysis of the problem -- pelpel
+[B]- Stat draining effect of Black breath could crash the game. Thanks
+     Kevin W. Thomas again for the patch -- pelpel
+[B]- With easy_disarm set, players were totally safe from detected traps,
+     whatever messages might say -- pelpel
+[B]- Ego graphics code is now only active when and only when 16x16 tiles
+     are selected -- pelpel
+[B]- Quest entrances/exits now require players to type '>'/'<' commands
+     to move in/out -- pelpel
+[m]- Shimmering terrain features no longer shimmer while running/resting,
+     to make them more bearable on slower machines and slow I/O systems
+     like GCU -- pelpel
+[I]- Incorporated the hopefully improved running code from the CVS version.
+     It uses CAN_RUN and DONT_NOTICE_RUNNING flags for non-conditional
+     checks (i.e. not controlled by the disturbance flags or requiring
+     immunity), so that most running problem can be fixed by editing
+     f_info.txt -- pelpel
+
+2002/02/27
+[B]- Many room walls didn't have the CAVE_ROOM flag set -- pelpel
+[m]- The tunnel code (ordinary one) now performs double check for
+     feat_wall_outer and CAVE_ROOM, so it is safe to use any terrain
+     features for outer wall, including those identical to fill_type.
+     Note: These two changes have very significant effect on the Sacred
+     Land of Mountains. I'm not 100% sure if this is what DG intended,
+     but I believe so reading flags given to it in d_info.txt -- pelpel
+[D]- There should be less not-at-all secret "secret" doors.
+     This does *not* mean that ancient prob, but those mountains enbedded in
+     plain wall in Barrow-Downs, for example -- pelpel
+[I]- Inven/equip/item choice in subwindows now clears to the bottom of screen,
+     to avoid glitches and in accordance with the way it worked -- pelpel
+[I]- Identify and *Identify* don't list known/fully known items in
+     object selection -- pelpel
+[m]- Depth/field name area is now 13 character long, so that names like
+     "shallow water" will fit, and "Lothlorien" is not truncated in GCU.
+     Also added short dungeon name prefix to the depth-in-feet mode -- pelpel
+
+2002/2/28
+[B]- Dungeon town generation could crash the game. Thanks Mogami
+     for the analysis of the problem -- pelpel
+
+1/03/2002
+[B]- Supplied missing suid code in 1) savefile removal action in the startup
+     screen, 2) time table lookup, 3) dungeon savefile removal, and
+     4) bone file removal.  Thanks kobayasi for the patch -- pelpel
+[B]- Less platform-dependent savefile processing code for the game start
+     menu, thanks again for kobayasi. It now uses files.c utility routines
+	 for building appropriate savefile names -- pelpel
+[B]- Magical branding of weapon/ammo, when successful, now sets enchanted
+     item's discount rate to 100%, so that one can no longer make vast
+     profit or easily gain his/her deity's favour.  Code adopted from
+     T.o.M.E. 2.0.0 CVS -- pelpel
+
+03/03/2002
+[P]- Give Ents scrolls of satisfy hunger instead of some food.  -- Kusunose
+[M]- Added a command to dismiss companions in the pet menu. Code adopted
+     from T.o.M.E. 2.0.0 CVS -- Kusunose
+
+04/03/2002
+[B]- '/' in item selection didn't update screen correctly -- pelpel
+[m]- Moved auto-squelch code from process_player() to process_world() -- pelpel
+
+05/03/2002
+[m]- CAVE_TRDT wasn't cleared when a trap is disarmed, which had some
+     subtle effects and forced coders to double check c_ptr->info and
+     c_ptr->t_idx in various places -- pelpel
+
+06/03/2002
+[B]- Level generation could cause infinite loop in the Sacred Land of
+     Mountains -- pelpel
+[B]- Player ghosts were disabled in a way causing special feeling on
+     every level -- pelpel
+[m]- Changed repeated message code to V-CVS one -- pelpel
+[m]- Added another graphics mode variable called graphics_mode :),
+     somewhat like use_graphics in ZAngband, but it doesn't
+     require any changes to main-xxx.c. It's set within reset_visuals()
+     and used by map_info(), so that it doesn't have to do streq()
+     each time it is called -- pelpel
+[B]- Took 64-bit safe RNG from Vanilla -- pelpel
+
+11/04/2002
+[B]- Gave SPECIAL_GENE flags to the k_info.txt entries of SPECIAL_GENE
+     special artefacts -- pelpel
+
+20/04/2002
+[B]- Player is now guaranteed to have initialive after entering a level.
+     Thanks Joseph William Dixon for the patch -- pelpel
+
+22/04/2002
+[m]- Renamed 422colors.prf to 422color.prf, to make it fit with the 8.3 naming
+     convention -- pelpel
+
+24/04/2002
+[m]- Add support for multiline comments in lua: --[[ ... ]]
+
+28/04/2002
+[B]- Fixed a bug that caused gods start casting nasty effects when player's
+     grace becomes negative. It should have been -60000.  -- Kusunose
+[D]- The inn in Bree is now The Prancing Pony.  -- Kusunose
+[m]- Improved lua interface for defining new 'm' keys, magic powers, quests, ...
+
+05/05/2002 - T.o.M.E. 1.0.0 aka "Between the Darkness and the Light"
+
+02/1/2002
+[m]- (Mac, Carbon)Graphics mode performance improvement. When a user
+     chooses a fixed width font (as is almost always the case) and
+     doesn't change tile width & height, the higher_pict method is
+     used instead of *very* slow and inefficient always_pict to
+     draw things -- pelpel
+
+04/1/2002
+[B]- Normal (non-vampire) races didn't get mana regenerated at Inn -- pelpel
+[B]- Fixed the monster casting at other monsters but targetting you bug
+
+11/01/2002
+[B]- Sacrificing wands now decreases charges
+
+12/1/2002
+[B]- The random text code left files open in many error cases -- pelpel
+[m]- The prf file loader always searches for the user directory first,
+     then the pref directory if it can't find it there, so that user
+     can override the system defaults keeping the distributed files
+     intact. This also simpifies the pref loading codes in several
+     places -- pelpel
+
+13/01/2002
+[B]- Fixed more running problems (FEAT_SAND and FEAT_ASH) -- pelpel
+[B]- Some routines called malloc/free instead of C_MAKE/C_FREE in
+     the vault generation -- pelpel
+[B]- One wrong sign in the fractal cave code (vertical average) -- pelpel
+[B]- Fixed the store info file thanks to wrabhit23
+
+14/01/2002
+[B]- Ego items had extra spaces in their names -- pelpel
+[B]- (XAW)Terminals used wrong names. USE_EGO_GRAPHICS didn't even
+     compile -- pelpel
+[I]- IRC code for the XAW port. Caveat: it causes a linker error
+     if you USE_X11 and USE_XAW at the same time... -- pelpel
+[m]- the html help file converter now gets it's header and footer
+     from head.aux and foot.aux in lib/help to help website
+     designer adapt the generated files to whatever they want
+
+19/01/2002
+[B]- The Mathom house acted like a normal shop when selling.  -- Kusunose
+[I]- Removed hard-coded direction keys in the skills menu -- pelpel
+[B]- Many room walls didn't have the CAVE_ROOM flag set -- pelpel
+[B]- More running problem (small trees in Mirkwood) -- pelpel
+
+20/01/2002
+[B]- final artifacts were not generated if they are k_info artifacts.
+     -- Kusunose
+[B]- Fixed get_com interface for lua
+
+22/01/2002
+[B]- Squelch on sense now destroys {good} items if it's told
+     "destroy good", but only when the "strong" pseudo-ID is in
+     effect. Doing so for the "weak" method would be too dangerous -- pelpel
+[m]- The running code now uses DONT_NOTICE_RUNNING and CAN_RUN terrain
+     feature flags for non-conditional checks, i.e. everything but doors,
+     stairs and alike, and those requiring levitation or immunity -- pelpel
+
+23/01/2002
+[m]- Included the lua tutorials by Fearof4s
+
+24/01/2002
+[m]- Replaced the field of view code with that from Angband 2.8.3--
+     -- pelpel
+[I]- view_special_lite and view_granite_lite that work with non-white
+     terrains (for ASCII mode only, already done for 16x16 tiles) -- pelpel
+
+25/01/2002
+[B]- '-s' crashed the game. Thanks kobayashi for the fix -- pelpel
+[B]- Doors are remembered, so that they work better with easy_open.
+     The easy_open code now performs checks for the perennially hard-to-handle
+     feature mimic field -- pelpel
+
+27/01/2002
+[D]- A fair number of dungeon guardians lost their defined artifact drop
+     and got a randart drop instead. The removed arts are back top normal
+     behavior(can be found)
+[I]- Inven/equip/item choice in subwindows now clears to the bottom of screen,
+     to avoid glitches and in accordance with the way it worked -- pelpel
+[I]- Identify and *Identify* don't list known/fully known items in
+     object selection -- pelpel
+
+29/01/2002
+[B]- monster_carry() could cause permanant artefact loss. A similar code
+     in quests and guardian artefact generation are also fixed -- pelpel
+[D]- There should be less not-at-all secret "secret" doors.
+     This does *not* mean that ancient prob, but those mountains enbedded in
+     plain wall in Barrow-Downs, for example -- pelpel
+
+20/01/2002
+[D]- Some spells can now stay in effect for a while, like a cloud of poison
+     will stay in place and poison everything passing in it
+[P]- Changed the magic system, it now uses schools of magic instead of
+     realms. A school contains much less spells than a realm. Each spell
+     is unique and dont make others redundant. Also all spells tries to stay
+     usefull for the whole game, by increasing in power and effects with levels.
+     A spell can be assigned to more than more school, in which case all the
+     schools need to be raised to obtain more power. All spells are implemented
+     in lua, to make it easy to tweak them.
+     All spells arent coded yet but my plans are for those schools:
+     Mana, Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Mind, Conveyance, Meta, Temporal,
+     Divination, Nature and Nether
+     It may change somewhat but thats the general idea :)
+     Books are not specific to a school, they can contain any spell from any
+     schools, it is even imaginable to have randomly created books
+
+01/2/2002
+[D]- Streamers use small tress instead of trees, a la KAngband and
+     variants that borrowed it's code. And they should look more like
+     streamers in most dungeons -- pelpel
+[D]- Neither player or monsters can see through, breath, or cast spells
+     over small trees, that are outer wall in Mirkwood -- arena levels
+     were too nasty otherwise... -- pelpel
+
+02/2/2002
+[m]- los, player's field of view, and spell/breath projection now all use
+     FF1_NO_VISION for the sake of consistency (in addition to the wall
+     check in case of spell/breath projection) -- pelpel
+[M]- Added a command to dismiss companions in the pet menu
+
+03/2/2002
+[D]- Moved wiz_dark() implementing the maze level from move_player() to
+     process_player(), so that a spellcaster can no longer do magic mapping--
+     detect monsters--detect traps then casting teleport as often as s/he
+     wishes to make things incredibly easy. Because of my laziness detected
+     traps aren't displayed if they are out of sight. This would require
+     tremendous hack. Anyway, don't worry, they are still remembered -- pelpel
+[I]- Auto-squelch menu now accepts ^R as an alternative to ^S, to be nice
+     for those who USE_GCU. Thanks Skylar Thompson for the problem report
+     -- pelpel
+[m]- CAVE_TRDT wasn't cleared when a trap is disarmed, which had some
+     subtle effects and forced coders to double check c_ptr->info and
+     c_ptr->t_idx in various places -- pelpel
+
+06/02/2002
+[B]- Do not drop from wild if player were not in wild mode in previous turn;
+     it put player in wrong place and could crash the game.  -- Kusunose
+[B]- Summoning monsters from totems could crash the game.  -- Kusunose
+[B]- The Heavy Crossbow of the Elves was 'the ultimate armor' in the
+     fully identified description.  -- Kusunose
+
+07/02/2002
+[m]- Added FF1_DOOR flag to open doors for lightning effects in map_info()
+     and have the trap creation code explicitly avoid them, because traps
+     have and should never been performance bottlenecks -- pelpel
+
+08/02/2002
+[m]- Some process_world() sections (most notably monster generation and
+     lingering spell effects) are conditionalised so that they don't run
+     in the overhead map -- pelpel
+[D]- Added a dungeon flag that prevents generation of streamers, and
+     gave it to those with water/lava rivers and places like Numenor
+     and the Sacred Land of Mountains. Maze and evolving levels don't
+     require this. Also made lava deeper (dlev 34 or below). Trees can
+     appear on any flat levels. And eliminated undesirable calls to
+     the RNG in the streamer code -- pelpel
+[m]- Changed all the signed (!) flags I was able to find to unsigned, because
+     they don't make any sense. Savefile code should be modified as well
+     if we ever care for savefile portability -- pelpel
+[m]- The tunnel code (ordinary one) now performs double check for
+     feat_wall_outer and CAVE_ROOM (which was added a couple of weeks ago),
+     so it is safe to use any terrain features for outer wall, including
+     those identical to fill_type -- pelpel
+
+09/02/2002
+[D]- Rewrote place_new_way() so that it doesn't create unconnected dungeon
+     sections, destroy outer walls of rooms, or dig room corners -- pelpel
+[I]- Hopefully finished special lighting effects. Now it works this way
+     (with all lighting effects options on):
+     Perma-lit grids and lit walls/doors within sight, and remembered important
+     features = f_info colours, Perma-lit floors and walls/doors out of
+     sight = darker colours, torch-lit "boring" floor = yellow, torch-lit
+     grids out-of-sight = dark grey, blindness = B&W -- pelpel
+[D]- Angband dungeon now adjusts monster levels to the dungeon level.
+     The monsters here will have a minimun level in the range of:
+     level / 2 to level. So at level 67 the lowest monster you can encounter
+     will be level 33. This means that if a white icky thing is generated
+     it will be a level 33 white icky thing. If the base monster level is higher
+     then nothing is adjusted.
+
+11/02/2002
+[m]- (Temporary note) Separated staying effect handling code from
+     process_world() and made it a function, so that it can be called in
+     any place with in dungeon() [can be activated by #define pelpel :)]
+     I temporarily placed it after process_player(), but we have to spend
+     some time testing this, seeking for the best turn structure -- pelpel
+[m]- Auto-squelch is performed *before* a player turn, just before the
+     pack overflow code to prevent some interface problems. This means
+     that squelching occurs as the very last action of a player turn,
+     after monster drops or even after pseudo-ID, so that you don't have to
+     press extra space to squelch items. Another possible arrangement
+     would be within process_world(), right after sensing -- pelpel
+
+12/02/2002
+[B]- Fixed a bug in the hook code that may or may not be the cause of
+     various quest-related bugs -- pelpel
+[D]- Altars now have CAN_RUN flag, so that you no longer see the
+     message "You cannot run in that direction" when trying to run
+     across them -- pelpel
+[m]- Added flush() before all the quest questions to prevent accidental
+     loss/declination/acceptance of quest rewards/quests, also added
+     very important flush_failure and flush() to the lua interface and
+     put that in the spell failure code, so that spells can be macroed
+     safely -- pelpel
+[B]- Fixed a bug in the 6 monster randquest thanks to Louis-Frederic Michaud
+
+13/02/2002
+[O]- Elvish waybread renamed to lembas, thanks to nimloth
+[I]- Because I find detection no longer works on panels, added DTrap status
+     line as well as a new disturbance option disturb_detect. Also removed
+     hardcoded row/column positions in the status line code, in preparation
+     for big-screen support -- pelpel
+
+16/02/2002
+[I]- Added scrolling target/look code, which is bastardised :) form of
+     Z and V ones -- pelpel
+[m]- Depth/field name area is now 13 character long, so that names like
+     "shallow water" will fit, and "Lothlorien" is not truncated in GCU.
+     Also added short dungeon name prefix to the depth-in-feet mode -- pelpel
+[m]- Because map_info() is the #1 bottleneck routine and because I felt
+     hack_map_info_default is incredibly ugly :(, I removed
+     hack_map_info_default and added specialised version of map_info()
+     for use by cmovie and the HTML screen shot saver -- pelpel
+[B]- Fixed the "automatic ego filter" bug in the squeltch filter -- pelpel
+[I]- Big screen is sort of working now, but main-xxx.c (have
+     to remove restrinction on size of the PernAngband window) and
+     cmovie are still needing upgrade -- pelpel
+
+17/02/2002
+[B]- Made panel_bound() more paranoid about the current dungeon size,
+     to prevent many big screen-related crashes -- pelpel
+
+18/02/2002
+[m]- Added 8x8 graphics support to trap display code -- pelpel
+[m]- Added another graphics mode variable called graphics_mode :),
+     somewhat like use_graphics in ZAngband, but it doesn't
+     require any changes to main-xxx.c. It's set within reset_visuals()
+     and used by map_info(), so that it doesn't have to do streq()
+     each time it is called -- pelpel
+
+19/02/2002
+[m]- Added term resize hooks so that one doesn't have to hit the redraw
+     key and alike when s/he resizes windows. Hooked functions are placed
+     in xtra2.c, because they are only related to big screen support
+     and other panel related codes are there.  Don't like the way stuffs
+     are initialised -- assumption about max number of terms, setting terms
+     package hooks from within the upper layer codes -- but the existing
+     implementations do it this way, and the "right" way requires changes
+     to main-xxx.c, which I'm too lazy to do... -- pelpel
+[I]- Big screen support for X11 and XAW ports (already done for Gtk, Mac
+     and Windows ports). Also added an option -o to force the use of 8x8
+     tiles in graphics mode. Say "-g -- -o" to activate it. And please note
+     that because of the way transparency effect is implemented in
+     X11/XAW/Gtk ports, it is available even with 8x8 tiles -- pelpel
+
+20/02/2002
+[B]- Beastmaster Shanty overpayed a bounty if monster's corpses are stacked.
+     -- Kusunose
+[O]- Combining rod and rod tip now considers rod's cheapness flag.
+     -- Kusunose
+
+22/02/2002
+[M]- Restored monster light code, modeled after Steven Fuerst's implementation
+     insteand of APW one this time, but without his support for multiple radii.
+     -- pelpel
+[M]- Made monster light a run-time option. CAVEAT: It'll cause display
+     weirdness when you turn this option from ON to OFF while playing.
+     Save/Restart or entering new level will fix the problem.
+     Should call forget_mon_lite() when the game detects it... -- pelpel
+[M]- monster lite option is on by default
+
+23/02/2002
+[B]- A failure in disarming traps using easy-disarm caused another attempt
+     at disarming traps (because it calls move_player_aux which calls
+     do_cmd_disarm_aux which calls move_player_aux...), growing call
+     stack infinitely. It's dangerous, and, in fact, players were totally
+     safe from traps (messages said "You set off...", but traps were never
+     activated) -- pelpel
+[B]- Black breath could crash the game (it's really evil, isn't it :)
+     Thanks Kevin W. Thomas for the patch -- pelpel
+[m]- Ego graphics code now only tries to use graphics overlays for
+     monsters and players if and only if 16x16 tiles are used -- pelpel
+[B]- map_info() had problem with walls mimicking floors -- pelpel
+[m]- Shimmering terrain features no longer shimmer while running or resting
+     to make themselves somewhat more bearable on slower machines -- pelpel
+
+24/02/2002
+[m]- Updated lighting effect code so that it works the same as rr9's Angband
+     versions. Also removed hardcoded IBM pseudo graphics code points, so that
+     if anyone is ever interested in updating its font & prf files, s/he
+     can do so freely without editing the source code.
+     And map_info / map_info_default is now fully aware of c_ptr->mimic,
+     so that map edges will not have strange lighting effects etc.,
+     hopefully -- pelpel
+
+26/02/2002
+[B]- Polymorphing random effect of Chaos Warriors could crash the game.
+     Special thanks for Kevin W. Thomas for the detailed analysis
+     of the problem -- pelpel
+[I]- Moving onto quest entrance/exit no longer causes annoying automatic
+     stair movements. You have to tell the game '>' or '<' to enter/leave
+     -- pelpel
+[m]- Renamed see_wall() in cmd1.c to see_obstacle() also added a grid-based
+     version of the function to be used by run_test(), so that those who have
+     immunity and/or levitation can run over lava fields, deep water etc.
+     -- pelpel
+[O]- There are 2 kinds of spellbooks for the magic schools, the ones that
+     are named "a Spellbook of foo" where foo is a randomly choosen spell
+     (selection is based on the dungeon level)
+     and other names that are fixed books
+
+27/02/2002
+[O]- School spellbooks can be fireproof ego items
+[B]- Dungeon town generation could crash the game. Thanks Mogami
+     for the analysis of the problem -- pelpel
+
+01/03/2002
+[B]- Supplied missing suid code in 1) savefile removal action in the startup
+     screen, 2) dungeon savefile removal, and 3) bone file removal.
+     Thanks kobayasi for the patch -- pelpel
+[m]- Less platform-dependent savefile processing code for the game start
+     menu, thanks again for kobayasi. It now uses files.c utility routines
+     for building appropriate savefile names -- pelpel
+
+03/03/2002
+[B]- Special level names wherent corrently displayed if the N: line was the
+     first of the file in lib/dngn
+
+03/03/2002
+[m]- Added initialization code to add SPECIAL_GENE flag to final guardians
+     and their artifacts (and DROP_RANDART if there are no final artifacts).
+     -- Kusunose
+[D]- Put yet another fractal code (unlike the others it's quite simple)
+     in the level filler generator, and added a F: parameter in d_info.txt
+     to control its behaviour. Its syntax is FILL_METHOD_#, where # is
+     0: use the first filler w/o calling RNG (for Angband, Mirkwood etc.),
+     1: the same as the previous versions (default), 2: slightly smoothed,
+     3: more smoothed, or 4: max smoothing (initial step of 8 grids) -- pelpel
+
+04/03/2002
+[B]- '/' in item selection didn't update screen correctly -- pelpel
+[m]- Moved squelch-on-sense code from process_player() to process_world()
+     -- pelpel
+
+04/03/2002
+[P]- High intelligence increase mana regeneration rate
+
+06/03/2002
+[B]- Level generation could cause infinite loop in the Sacred Land of
+     Mountains -- pelpel
+[m]- Changed repeated message code to V-CVS one -- pelpel
+[B]- Player ghosts were disabled in a way causing special feeling on
+     every level -- pelpel
+
+07/03/2002
+[m]- Trap display now uses x_attr/x_char of FEAT_TRAP (f_info N:17)
+     1) if a trap is set on a "boring" terrain in the ASCII mode, where
+     only x_char is used and attr is taken from tr_info.txt XXX XXX XXX
+     or 2) if attr/char for a trap is not defined in prf files in the
+     graphics modes -- pelpel
+[m]- Removed FAKE_VER_*, because it has been quite long since we lost savefile
+     compatibility with Angband 2.8.1 and info.txt files can be updated
+     by sed/perl/whatever script in a snap -- pelpel
+[B]- Took 64-bit safe RNG from Vanilla -- pelpel
+
+08/03/2002
+[m]- To accommodate the practice of not upgrading version stamp of info.txt
+     files at each release (never done in V-based variants, but common among
+     Z-based ones for historical reasons), version stamp checks against game
+     data files in lib/edit is made a compile time option
+     (VERIFY_VERSION_STAMP), off by default.  With this option off, version
+     stamp checks for the binary files are still performed and they always
+     have version signature of the game, not those specified by the V: lines
+     -- pelpel
+[B]- Wide light radius worked in the small scale wilderness map,
+     where it should have been WILDERNESS_SEE_RADIUS -- pelpel
+
+10/03/2002
+[m]- Upgraded the lua bitlib so it can handle stuff like bor(1, 2, 4, 8)
+
+11/03/2002
+[M]- Confusion, stunning, charming now works on uniques(those that dont have the
+     corresponding resistance)
+
+24/03/2002
+[I]- Stats can now be displayed in a linear mode(from 3 to 37) instead of
+     3 to 18/***, the option is off by default
+
+25/03/2002
+[D]- No more shafts in the halls of mandos
+[m]- Block comments( --[[...]] ) in Lua enabled
+
+27/03/2002
+[D]- Tweaked the door code a bit so that some doors are much harder
+     to find -- pelpel
+[I]- Added recall depth subcommand to the knowledge menu -- pelpel
+
+03/04/2002
+[I]- Removed the flavoured_attack option and made most 'silly' messages
+     off by default. They are now controlled by 'insanity roll', which is
+     d100 roll against (max_sanity - current_sanity) * 100 / max_sanity.
+     The same roll is also used to determine if the game should use
+     silly monster descriptions (in addition to the hallucination
+     effects) -- pelpel
+
+04/04/2002
+[I]- The skill interface no longer asks question whenever you increase skills.
+     Changes to skill values are made permanent if the player confirms them
+     when s/he leave the skill menu, otherwise, they are simply ignored
+     -- pelpel
+[P]- The skill system is ready ! Some small tweakings are needed, but it is
+     mostly ready. Each level you gain a few skill points that you can spend
+     on various skills(like combat, weaponmastery, magic, ...). Most actions
+     are now tied to skills.
+[P]- Classes revamped as more or less skill templates. Classes now can have
+     specializations which allow starting with somewhat different skill set.
+[B]- Since streamers can create unconnected dungeon sections, the code for
+     it is moved after stair and player allocation -- pelpel
+[m]- Reorganised the linkage order of makefile.org a bit, so that similar
+     files are grouped together, also frequently called files are not coupled
+     together with rarely used ones. This *might* help on-demand-paging memory
+     manager a bit -- pelpel
+[m]- Changed all occurances of " ?" in strings to "? ". --takkaria
+
+08/04/2002
+[B]- Some player_type fields and corresponding lua interface definitions
+     were of different types. Fix thanks to rr9. -- pelpel
+
+09/04/2002
+[I]- Bigtile patch for windows, x11 and mac ports thanks to Takeshi Mogami
+
+11/04/2002
+[B]- Gave SPECIAL_GENE flags to the k_info.txt entries of SPECIAL_GENE
+     special artefacts -- pelpel
+
+15/04/2002
+[M]- Revision of the conf/stun/sleep resists for uniques thanks to Runescrye
+
+18/04/2002
+[G]- The adventurer quest reward is now either the adventurer or some skills
+[I]- Asks for a last screenshot upon death
+
+20/04/2002
+[I]- You can now dump a frame of a cmovie as an html screenshot(while playing
+     the movie)
+[P]- New god system, each god will be much more different from all others.
+     Altars are less vital. There are less gods.
+[m]- Renamed inappropriately called global array 'town' to 'town_info', also
+     moved some boolean town_type members into 'flags', in order to support
+     dungeon town information subcommand of do_cmd_knowledge -- pelpel
+[m]- Commented out or moved many local variables causing 'unused' warnings,
+     because of badly placed if 0's -- pelpel
+[B]- Player is now guaranteed to have initialive after entering a level.
+     Thanks Joseph William Dixon for the patch -- pelpel
+[I]- The commands for skills and spells are swapped. Please use 'G' to learn/
+     check skills and '$' ('\$' in roguelike) to learn spells.
+
+22/04/2002
+[m]- Renamed 422colors.prf to 422color.prf, to make it fit with the 8.3 naming
+     convention -- pelpel
+
+23/04/2002
+[O]- Bound the wands & staves damage/power to the Magic skill, attack wands
+     should actually be usefull now
+
+25/04/2002
+[P]- Magic skill now allows you to copy spells from books into various
+     objects. Not all objects can contain spells naturally, but most object
+     of the Magi can, and all mage staves
+[P]- Spectres loses HP while in walls, it was too abusable(and in fact, I never
+     planned to remove it)
+
+28/04/2002
+[D]- The inn in Bree is now The Prancing Pony.  -- Kusunose
+
+01/05/2002
+[D]- Small levels cannot generate full levels anymore
+[I]- The prompt to cast a spell now understand to press @, which will ask for
+     a spell name, it'll look all books and cast it if you can.
+     It EASES macros, a macro will now look like:
+     02m@Manathrust\r*t
+[I]- Message recall now understands bigscreen thanks to pav
+[I]- Help now understands bigscreen thanks to pav
+[I]- Skill screen now understands bigscreen thanks to pav
+[I]- No more pickup prompt with autopickup when inventory is full, thanks to pav
+
+03/05/2002
+[B]- The skill increase/decrease code was unable to detect underflow -- pelpel
+
+06/05/2002
+[P]- Made running commands exempt from do_nothing processing, because this
+     can be abusable and makes no sense -- you could, for example, hold down
+     movment keys when following Eru and use running when following other
+     deities -- pelpel
+[I]- Took big screen code for horizontal scrolling of message recalls
+     from Vanilla -- pelpel
+[I]- You can navigate through option menus with roguelike_keys -- in fact,
+     I didn't know users of the original keyset can go up before I play
+     the latest V and see its code... Taken from Vanilla CVS -- pelpel
+[m]- Entirely removed function definining macros from script.c, because
+     it can confuse some compilers (a lcc case was reported), and some
+     preprocessor reports syntax error for missing macro arguments -- pelpel
+[I]- Added big screen support for GCU -- pelpel
+
+12/05/2002
+[m]- Some, if not all, command line options are documented -- pelpel
+[B]- Full map command displayed only half of current dungeon level when
+     bigtile mode is used.  Thanks for Takeshi Mogami for tha patch
+     -- Kusunose
+
+19/05/2002
+[m]- 1) Slightly reorganised menus in the Mac ports, because there were so
+     many of them on the menu bar. 2) added a switch (-b) to the GCU port
+     to select multiple terms or one big screen. 3) the GTK port issued
+     huge number of fatal warnings if the graphics mode was turned on and off.
+     4) Compiled latest V CVS with main-gtk.c in T.o.M.E. and fixed some
+     portability problems.  -- pelpel
+[P]- Pseudo-id is now bound to the Combat skill(for weapons/armors) and the
+     Magic skill(potions, ...)
+[P]- It is now possible to press @ at the 'm' key prompt to select a skill action
+     by it's full name. Thus allowing unbreakable macro:
+     m@Cast a spell\r@Manathrust\r*t
+[I]- The skill screen cannot be abused to get more skills anymore
+
+27/05/2002
+[P]- New god Melkor Bauglir
+[P]- Weaponmastery, Archery and Barehand skills increase Combat skill much more
+
+02/06/2002
+[B]- Various spell effects that polymorph monsters could crash the game.
+     -- Kusunose
+[B]- Compare weapons command miscalculated muliplying bonus.  -- Kusunose
+
+12/06/2002
+[P]- Deathmold fetch ability pickups gold and objects(if autopickup is set) thanks
+     to "kenderband" <kenderband@hotmail.com>
+[m]- Exported cur_hgt and cur_wid to lua by request of Fearof4s. (takkaria)
+
+14/02/2002
+[m]- Updated the lua help files thanks to Fearof4s and Chris Hadgis
+
+17/06/2002
+[B]- Fixed junk artifacts and music instruments stacking bug in stores
+     -- Kusunose
+
+03/07/2002
+[M]- Monsters drop stolen gold when killed
+
+04/07/2002
+[B]- Capped max number of extra blows at 2 when the limit_blow flag is set
+     in two places -- pelpel
+
+09/07/2002
+[B]- Cancelling a scroll of reset recall didn't work.  -- Kusunose
+[O]- Reset recall now lists all the dungeons a player has visited and
+     additionally allow a player to select by name. -- Kusunose
+
+13/07/2002
+[O]- Enabled the generation of double ego items. An item cannot get 2 prefix
+     or 2 suffix, it will always be a prefix and a suffix
+
+14/07/2002
+[P]- New bounty quest available at the beastmaster shanty! Bring back a corpse
+     and get some monster-lore skill and the ability to learn corpse-preservation
+     skill if you couldn't already
+
+15/07/2002
+[P]- Replaced first necromancy spell with Horrify from the old Nether realm and
+     the third spell with absorb soul, provides some health upon monster death
+
+16/07/2002
+[m]- Updated lua_ques.txt to fix some misinformation. -- fearoffours
+
+17/07/2002
+[B]- One was able to have another entry in the score file for a dead/retired
+     character by loading him/her with the -w option, then answering 'n' to
+     the wizard mode confirmation. Bug report and fix (for Angband 3.0.1, but
+     applicable for all variants) by Hallvard B. Furuseth, Takeshi Mogami and
+     Robert Ruehlmann -- pelpel
+
+22/07/2002
+[m]- More lua documentation fixes, particularly adding square brackets to field
+     names on lines that would allow this without mucking up colour formatting.
+     -- fearoffours
+
+23/07/2002 - T.o.M.E 2.0.0 aka "Point of No Return"
+
+24/07/2002
+[m]- The splash screen now shows "Tales of Middle Earth" or "Troubles of Middle
+     Earth" randomly.  Thanks to Scott Holder for the idea and some code.
+     (takkaria)
+[m]- makefile.org now defaultds to ./lib for the lib directory
+[m]- makefile.org is now makefile.std
+[B]- Fixed a silly bug preventing Polearm masstery from wroking
+
+26/07/2002
+[B]- In multiuser installations, notes and cmovie were written under the lib
+     directory using the game's permission, making them inaccessible by
+     the player. I moved them to ~/.tome. Note: This means that a coder
+     shouldn't grab permission before opening files in these directories
+     -- pelpel
+[B]- There are still inappropriate (and even unbalanced!!!) calls to
+     safe_setuid_grab() and safe_setuid_drop() in the game. Thanks Neil
+     for pointing out those in the macro save commands. There are so many
+     places that I have to look at, but I'm trying... -- pelpel
+[I]- Better (hopefully) object identification screen
+
+28/07/2002
+[m]- Added safe_setuid_grab/safe_setuid_drop to all the functions that
+     access files in the lib directory. I did so even for the game
+     initialisation, knowing that it's very unorthodox. This is because
+     I found some of them in the init[12].c.  There's no other sure ways
+     to keep them from messing multiuser installations. -- pelpel
+[m]- Added makefile.dos, which is a copy of makefile (now), in order to
+     prevent overwriting accidents. Ideally, 'makefile' should be in the
+     .cvsignore, so that every developper can feel at ease with his/her
+     own preferred environment -- pelpel
+
+01/08/2002
+[P]- New corruption system, savefiles are compatibles but you will loose
+     all your corruptions.
+     Most corruptions now have a good and a bad effect. Some corruptions
+     depends of others, it means that you can only get them when you have
+     the ones they depend of(i.e: Balrog Form need Balrog Wings, Balrog
+     Aura and balrog Strength to work). Some corruptions can be mutualy
+     exclusive. The list of corruption is totaly rewrote. They are more
+     in-theme now.
+[B]- Perma curse cannot happen on randarts anymore
+
+02/08/2002
+[B]- Player could not pick up items from home if he did not have enough

+05/08/2002
+[m]- Improved the adventurer guide and added a section for macros to it

+[G]- Troll Glade/Wight Grave selection is now (usualy) based on the
+     Combat/Magic skills level

+08/08/2002
+[I]- The game asks confirmation before learning a skill that can exclude an
+     already known one
+[I]- When 'I'nspecting(or upon *id*) a fully *id* weapon/ammo the game will
+     tell you the damage it would do if you used it(idea from Ey)
+
+10/08/2002
+[I]- 'U' power menu is now usable with repeat key 'n'
+
+11/08/2002
+[G]- The chance for combat item pseudo-ID now improves exponentially,
+     just like V Warriors (combat skill 0 == plev 0, maxed == plev 50),
+     while that for magic items improves slowly, just like V Rangers
+     and Mages but with higher success rate (more than ten times as
+     frequent as V Rangers) -- pelpel
+
+12/08/2002
+[B]- Added missing spell frequency to Fire golem.  -- Kusunose

+     -- Kusunose
+
+13/08/2002
+[m]- Made chg_to_txt in files.c conditional, so that it won't be included in
+     Windows, Mac and RISCOS ports (they don't call the function, so it has
+     been dead code) -- pelpel
+[D]- Since Tome generated small levels once in three times when requested,
+     which I think is too often, and in Z and Ey the chance is 1/5 and 1/10
+     respectively, I lowered the chance to 1/6 -- pelpel
+[B]- The small_level option had the same effect as always_small_levels
+     -- pelpel
+[O]- Removed CURSE_NO_DROP from ego items. Players want new curses, and when
+     they get them they complain...
+
+14/08/2002
+[I]- Added avoid_shimmer efficiency option to suppress shimmering of terrain
+     features, because I have had problems with them on really big screens
+     -- pelpel
+[P]- Increased the modifier of the masteries for warriors
+[P]- New Warrior subclass, the Demonologist, spell enhanced warriors. They
+     use the new Demon school and the renewed Demonblades, Demonshields and
+     Demonhorns. Their spells enhance their fighting potential. They can either
+     be seen as a force of good, fighting against demons with their own powers
+     or as a force of evil fighting to bring corruption to the world.
+[P]- Sorcerors begin with a robe instead of a dagger
+[I]- Easy close is now slightly more intelligent in their handling of
+     broken doors -- pelpel

+20/08/2002
+[B]- Extracted essences overwrote a weapon slot when inventry was full.
+     -- Kusunose
+
+21/08/2002
+[I]- Ingame contextual help is on by default(it was before, but it was bugged..)
+     It is now proccessed by lua, file help.lua and should be much easier to
+     add new sections to than before. So all feel free :)
+[G]- Added town of Khazad-Dum (where 'exit' from Moria was) with nice Mining
+     supply shop. -- fearoffours

+
+26/08/2002
+[m]- Removed the autosquelch to replace it with a new Automatizer that should
+     be much more powerful. It lacks a gui, but that should soon change :)
+
+28/08/2002
+[I]- The new Automatizer got a GUI :) It should be quite easy to grasp, you
+     define rules to match and action to take. But it does allow very complex
+     rules.
+
+27/08/2002
+[m]- Added updated class help documents. Removed extraneous ones.  Amended
+     links in birth.txt to reflect changes. Added appropriate entries to
+     help.lua for contextual class help at birth. Thanks to Mef. -- fearoffours
+[m]- More contextual help: races and god selection at birth, rod tips, rods and
+     trapping kits. -- feaoffours
+
+29/08/2002
+[G]- Added new god quest. Given at random time by your god, you have to retrieve
+     a piece of a relic generated at a random level of a randomly places dungeon.
+     More than one of these quests may be given (currently up to 4), though only
+     if you complete previous quests. The relic is only generated once in each
+     dungeon, so look carefully for it. Diving won't help you. -- fearoffours
+
+31/08/2002
+[P]- New Water spell: Vapor, it create a low damage wide radius short lasting
+     cloud of water. It is designed to be a cheap attack spell for annoying

+     -- fearoffours
+
+08/09/2002
+[I]- Updated the forgotten IBM pseudographics, based on my unknown work for
+     Pern 4.1.2.  Also added an X11 BDF file so that it can be used on
+     the three X ports -- copy graf-ibm.prf to font-x11.prf in your user
+     directory (i.e. ~/.tome) and set the font of main window to the font
+     made from lib/xtra/ang16.bdf.  Instruction for installing new X fonts

+     (takkaria)
+[m]- Reformatted the todo list, removed some entries which have been done.
+     Also added a section for stuff which I will do (one day). (takkaria)
+[m]- I've reformatted and reorganized a fair bit of notes.c; I've made stuff

+     my_fputs()...  Also replaced some hardcoded buffer sizes with sizeof().
+     (takkaria)
+[m]- Removed hardcoded buffer sizes in wizard1.c. (takkaria)

+

+     X11 and Mac. It also shows readable triggers like: \[shift-F1] and such
+
+29/09/2002
+[m]- Added .cvsignore to the src directory to prevent makefile overwriting
+     accidents from happening. Currently it excludes makefile (developers
+     are expected to update platform-specific makefile if s/he indents to
+     make permanent changes to them), tome, tolua, TOME.EXE and TOLUA.EXE.
+     -- pelpel
+
+01/10/2002

+
+07/10/2002
+[I]- Replaced font-ibm.prf, graf-ibm.prf, font-win.prf and font-mac.new (a

+
+18/10/2002
+[O]- Behold! The new Grand Scheme For Wands, Staves and Rods!;)
+     Now all sticks in the game use the same system as the spells. The unified
+     spell system could we say ;)
+     What does it changes? sticks should now be usefull, jsut as spells are.
+     For example a wand of manathrust is not to be laughed at.
+     Hw does it work? 'I'nspect the stick you want to know about you'll see
+     he details, each stick gets a spell and a base level. The base level
+     means the spell will be cast at that level if you have 0 in the
+     Magic Device skill. If you have Magic Device it increases the level.
+     Works a bit like Spell-power for the spells.
+     Also the distinction of wands/staves is tenuous now, wands are attack
+     stuff and staves not but wands can sometimes NOT be targeted spells
+

+26/10/2002

+[P]- New skill, Stunning-blows, a haftedmastery subskill, just like critical
+     hits is a subskill of swordmasery. It requires a hafted weapon > 5 lb

+     You can do a:HARDCORE=NAME where NAME is an activation name
+     that is hardcoded in the C source.

+
+15/11/2002
+[m]- Added a new TERM_XTRA call, TERM_XTRA_GET_DELAY which should return the
+     time in microseconds. What time exactly isnt meaningfull but it must be
+     usable to compute the length of time an action takes.

+     and should work fine:) Windows and unix platforms should now be able

+[O]- Cut down the price of Spectral weapon given their .. usefullness

+28/12/2002
+[P]- Added dynamic subrace. This means that "things" in the game can somewhat
+     change your subrace. This is used by the 3 new Vampire corruptions, which
+     when combined will permanently turn you into a full blown Vampire.
+     The Vampire subrace has been removed, it might come back as a template for
+     the corruptions, or not. All others undead subrace will have the same
+     fate. This means that soon you'll be able to turn into an undead rather

+     with every char being an undead.

+
+06/01/2003
+[B]- cmd7.c: Fixing three bugs in Alchemy: Extracting from double ego items and

+     Problems may still arise when you leech a stack of objects from the floor
+     and essences get dropped over them. Boomerangs can be enchanted now.
+     -- masmarangio

+     The four *.icns files are faithful conversions of the traditional Angband

+     -- pelpel
+[m]- Module support. It means that people can write ToME "modules" which will

+
+15/01/2003
+[G]- Summoner can extract totems from skeletons / carapaces. -- masmarangio
+[B]- Trap of Wasting Wands (affects also Staves) change the Wand/Staff to the of

+[B]- do_cmd_rest flushes input if the player can't do so for some reasons
+     and flush_failure is set.
+     Note: flush() doesn't seem to work as it used to do...  Any changes have
+     been made to inkey, or some code touches its various control variables?
+     -- pelpel
+[m]- (Gtk) Added support for the "bigtile" mode. Please start the game with
+     "tome -- -w" if you don't like to see horrible glitches... This is not
+     Gtk-specific problem by the way.  Scrolling the map and hitting ^R fixes
+     it too, if you prefer menu command -- pelpel
+[G]- Trees are now passable by wraith beings. Monsters that fly will pass trees.

+
+19/01/2003
+[B]- (Gtk) Fixed problems with wide tile mode when it is used with backing
+     store.  Seems more like the problem is in z-term (it only updates every
+     two columns of the dungeon map...), but it works now -- pelpel
+[B]- (Mac) The asynchronous sound player unlocked and released sound data
+     without confirming its completion.  Wrote an alternative implementation
+     that holds data until a channel it is played is reused, to avoid using
+     interrupt-time code (which is quite complicated business in 68K).
+     Because this means that a fairly large amount of data can be locked in
+     memory for a long time, I reduced number of channels used to
+     4 in Classic and 8 for Carbon  -- pelpel
+
+20/01/2003

+21/01/2003
+[B]- Monster traps: Changed the code so that the new wands and staves are
+     functional in device monster traps. This is commented out with #if 0 since

+[B]- Deathmolds could use their racial power without spending a turn!
+[B]- 'U' powers didn't remove Disruption Shield
+[m]- (Mac, Windows) Added an in-game menu command to view current scoreboard.

+     display_scores_aux, which I regard first-degree Mega-Hack -- pelpel
+[G]- Wielding the One Ring now has real disadvantages, you've been warned :)
+     What ? I didn't mention what disadvantages ? Oh yes, I didn't.
+[G]- Bump required level and difficulty rating of Minas Anor quest, as the

+     Instruments carries the spells, and they work a bit like Psi foci in
+     psiband. An instrument (+2) can only play songs that are marked (I) or
+     (II) not (III) or (IV)
+[B]- Ordered the music songs according to the needed pval, then level.
+     Fixed the svals of artifact instruments, changing the Flute to a Harp.

+
+30/01/2003
+[B]- Possibly the relic in the god quest couldn't have been generated.
+     Wasn't me honest guv. -- fearoffours
+[G]- The lost temples for god quests now have harder monsters to make the piety
+     gain rather more substantial and obvious I hope. Deeper monsters appear
+     as player clvl increases. -- fearoffours
+[m]- Help file corrections on Music skill. -- fearoffours
+
+01/02/2003
+[B]- Some menus exits when 'e' was hit on some comapilation.

+     use it.  Thanks kobayasi for fix.  -- Kusunose
+[B]- All known staves and wands are displayed as 'Globe of Light' in
+     the Known Object list.  Thanks kobayasi for fix.  -- Kusunose

+     -- neil
+
+12/02/2003

+     the monster will be named. If you named it(with the #foo inscription)
+
+16/02/2003
+[B]- Chaging the melee style did not update bonuses.  Thanks to kobayasi for
+     the patch.  -- Kusunose
