 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 December 10 2004 Timo Kiviluoto <holybanana@users.sourceforge.net>
 
 	* Corrected a bug in the genie hostility code
 
 December 10 2004 Timo Kiviluoto <holybanana@users.sourceforge.net>
 
 	* The annoying question "Do you want to ERASE..." whatever which appeared
 		after dying if the highscore file was empty or old is now less annoying
 		and doesn't appear unless it's really necessary
 
 December 10 2004 Timo Kiviluoto <holybanana@users.sourceforge.net>
 
   * BugFix: Very complex chain explosions caused by kicking could crash
     the game
   * BugFix: Polymorphing to Petrus in WMode crashed
   * Great War in Attnam is inactive
   * BugFix: Fleeing monsters using teleport control could try to teleport
     outside the level, causing a crash
   * You can no longer use your vital bodyparts for golem creation
   * Invisible creatures can no longer block light
   * BugFix: There was no way to use stairs covered by slime
   * Flying creatures no longer get stuck to slime, at least if it's not
     vomited at them
   * You can give no more commands to unconscious pets
   * BugFix: "Don't consume anything valuable" command flag wasn't activated
     by default due to an obscure problem
   * Increased Shirt of the Golden Eagle's AV from 35 to 40
   * The player no longer autovomits on altars unless he has to or it
     belongs to Scabies
   * Removed the "temporary" comments that increased the probability of bone
     files being created/loaded
   * The veteran kamikaze dwarf of GC6 is no longer always on the downstairs;
     this was too nasty for those players unfortunate enough to come up
     from GC7 after being sucked there through a fountain
   * An extra confirmation is needed before the game allows the player to
     vomit at a neutral NPC; I've died too many times because of pressing
     'V' instead of 'C'
   * There are no doors in UT4 now; it is a natural cave
   * The player is no more allowed to change the equipment of archangels
   * Archangels are now less invincible

     by Kahvi
   * Adjusted the InElasticityPenaltyModifiers of broken items upwards
   * BugFix: No message was printed when levitation was activated, except
     if due to a BoL
   * Decreased the possibility of attribute increase and polymorph
     effects of fountains
   * Groups of monsters can appear from a fountain, not just one;
     the amount depends on the species and luck
   * Removed some obsolete commented code
 
 December 03 2004 Heikki Sairanen <first.last@tut.fi>

   * Corrected an annoying bug in DoEvilDeed

   * BugFix: the weight of a mammoth's corpse was negative
   * BugFix: mushrooms were able to grunt
   * TypoFix: one space was missing from rusted golems' names
   * Changed the basic terrain materials of GC levels 6, 9, 10 and 11
     mainly for clarity reasons
 
 October 22 2004 Timo Kiviluoto <holybanana@users.sourceforge.net>
 
   * BugFix: offering on the Silva's altar in UT4 crashed
   * BugFix: endurance exp wasn't gained if the player had a non-living
     bodypart and his binary was compiled with VC, due to a bug in
     the latter
   * Corrected many problems in bodypart special effect draw order
   * Angels might be a little more intelligent now

   * Probably fixed an additional bug or two which I can't quite recall now
 
 October 13 2004 Timo Kiviluoto <holybanana@users.sourceforge.net>

     lantern
   * Fixed many problems with messages
 
 October 8 2004 Timo Kiviluoto <holybanana@users.sourceforge.net>
 
   * BugFix: items on the ground were sometimes not animated

     levitation crashed

   * Hunters now have unique science talk particles

     is now more vivid, having ten different forms
   * Removed the scroll of create monster; it was never used for anything
     sensible save abuse

     "something on the ground explodes", "the slave's leather armor breaks",
     etc.
   * The game now says "xxx stabs/strikes/slashes" instead of "xxx hits"
     if xxx is armed; the verb depends on the weapon
   *  Some other msgs changed, but there are still problems with these
 
 October 3 2004 Timo Kiviluoto <holybanana@users.sourceforge.net>
 
   * Some mind worms added to char.pcx by Kahvi

   * Fixed a typo in the anti-explosive magical field code

   * Corrected a minor bug in characters' special effect draw order
 
 September 30 2004 Timo Kiviluoto <holybanana@users.sourceforge.net>

     while. Henceforth, however, I wow to resume this healthful habit
   * Mistresses and dogs now have unique random science talk particles

     define.dat which determines how many bonus amulets of life saving
     the player gets when he starts a game
   * Disabled the time test in the panel
   * Spiders' flesh and blood are now poisonous
   * The game no longer crashes if an NPC wearing a belt of levitation steps
     over another belt floating near the edge of a lake or pool

     lifesaving

 <entry incomplete>

 January 6 2004 Heikki Sairanen <firstname.lastname@tut.fi>

     have caused random crashes when changing levels)
   * Fixed a harmless light update absence bug in the cloning code
   * N simultaneously bought items in a shop can no longer cost more than N

     operations during the price calculations were rounded down)
   * Monsters now avoid needlessly stepping on banana peels and broken bottles
   * The nationality adjective "Attnamian" is now written "Attnamese"
   * Gear pictures are now updated correctly when an equipped item spoils
   * Adjusted the word order of sword names (based on our weapon expert Kahvi's
     opinions)

     enner beast's groin
   * It is now possible to determine the leader of a team in the script
   * It is now possible to determine how spoiled items are in the script

   * Fixed two bugs in Loricatus's pray effect
   * Optimized the generation of terrains and items somewhat

       Attnam but is cheaper
     * Tourist family who follow Kaethos around the town
     * Underground sumo wrestling arena, where the player can compete with
       the local sumo champion Huang Ming Pong (I will not list all the

   * Master necromancers can now sometimes raise Xinroch, if he hasn't
     been generated yet

     (not just an adjacent one), and masters any corpse in the level

 December 16 2003 Timo Kiviluoto <firstname.lastname@hut.fi>

   * Expensive camera and miniature mummy of Lenin added to item.pcx by Kahvi
   * Necromancer, bourgeois tourist, his wife and child, and Lenin added to
     humanoid.pcx by Kahvi
   * Necromancer graphics integrated
   * Two spider webs added to effect.pcx by Kahvi
   * Remade felist entry picture drawing system; browsing an enormous inventory
     (for instance after using the gain all items cheat) is now a lot faster
   * A small typo in the look description of neutral panicked NPCs corrected
   * Added a super-fast system for retrieving random pixels for which a certain
     predicate (say, non-transparency) is true; I plan to use a similiar
     algorithm for level::RandomSquare in the future
   * Documented stack.h/cpp and fluid.h/cpp
   * Added ironalloy material category which currently consists of iron, steel,
     meteoric steel and adamant
   * Iron alloys can now rust; names and strength values are affected
   * Rusting is now displayed graphically as random brown pixels
   * Added RustModifier material database member which determines the ability
     to rust for liquids and how easily rusting happens for ironalloys
   * Golems and terrains made of ironalloys can also rust
   * Scroll of repair can now remove rust
   * Renamed class human to playerkind
   * Rewrote the player's armor drawing code; it was probably the most horrible
     gum solution in the entire game
   * Added several item database members to control which armor pictures
     are to be drawn
   * Added (half-accidentally) support for armor picture animations
   * The Shirt of the Golden Eagle now gives the player an appropriate blue aura
     when worn
   * The priority map trickery which is used to determine the special effect
     drawing order of humanoids is now completely incomprehensible
   * Remade the whole fluid code: it now utilizes the full power of IVAN's
     material system
     * Liquids on ground can now cause effects to legs/other bodyparts
     * An arbitrary number of fluids can now cover weapons, armor and
       bodyparts; graphical effects added to item pictures
     * Fluids can now affect the items and bodyparts they cover
     * Removed the obsolete ContainedMaterial of weapons
     * Fluid is now displayed over wielded, armor and bodypart graphics
       for playerkinds; however I chose not to show them for other monsters
       since it could cause many characters to be drawn very unclearly
       from the user's perpective
     * Added a dripping animation for all fluids not on ground
     * Damaging a monster with a weapon now causes blood to be spilled
       over the item used
     * Dipping to solid materials is alas no longer possible; however, I
       haven't done this since 0.311 so it isn't so great a loss
     * Liquids can now exist on non-walkable terrain and affect them.
       For instance you can destroy walls using acid (see below).
       However, there is a small problem that liquids can be seen from
       all sides of the terrain which can be strange if it is a part of a
       long wall separating parallel tunnels
     * Fluids can now emit light (but this feature is not yet used)
   * A potion which breaks due to hitting an object now spills half of
     its contents to the next square on its theoretical line of flight
   * Fluids affected by paranormal gravitational distractions now land
     correctly on the players face, if he/she/it has one
   * Corpses now spill blood, not just severed bodyparts
   * Added acid effects which are based on the Acidicity material database
     member; acidous fluids cause items to break and can destroy very weak
     broken items, and they also tend to be very rusting
   * Added IsImmuneToAcid material database boolean
   * Dark frog blood and pepsi are now acidous
   * Remade the vomit system; the amount of liquid now depends on the body
     volume of the character and it can be targeted to adjacent squares
     and used as a very poor acid-based weapon
   * Added BloodMaterial and VomitMaterial character database members
   * Mommos now really attack by vomiting acidous slime, which also has
     a high RustModifier
   * Oree's vomit attack now really spills acidous blood over the player
   * M-color 3 of arm pictures is henceforth allocated for gauntlets;
     some humanoid graphics updated due to this
   * Zombies now spoil
 
 November 8 2003 Heikki Sairanen <firstname.lastname@tut.fi>
 
   * feio.cpp documented
 
 August 31 2003 Heikki Sairanen <heikki.sairanen@phpoint.net>
 
   * Now compiles with gcc
   * Added necromancers
   * Mushrooms inherit their stats.
   * Atavus gives player a banana at XMas. Banana should probably be changed to something else.
 
 August 14 2003 Heikki Sairanen <heikki.sairanen@phpoint.net>
 
   * Certain small changes to mihail so it know finds it's missing FeLib...
 
   Added instructions to create symbolic link to FeLib, if it isn't distributed for the user.
 
 August 14 2003 Timo Kiviluoto <markku.kiviluoto@sono.fimnet.fi>
 
   * Added some comments to the Febot code
   * Hex's new MIHAIL version added to CVS
 
 August 14 2003 Timo Kiviluoto <markku.kiviluoto@sono.fimnet.fi>
 
   * iosystem::StringQuestion now takes the destination string as an argument
     and returns whether the user aborted the question or not
   * Configuration system has been standardized and moved largely to FeLib
   * Added Febot engine which can be used by the Oracle of the Holy Haven of Gurus
     when the time comes
