General Fixes and Modified Features
-----------------------------------
hero polymorphed into a vampire can use #monster to shape-shift rather than
        just do a one-shot polymorph into bat/cloud/wolf and shifted vampire
        hero can use #monster again to take on another form (randomly chosen
        among the shiftable shapes and true vampire form)
adjust bones filename buffer sizes to accommodate suffix
fix internal self-recover to work with recent fields added to checkpoint file
improvements to pronoun usage when hallucinating
function calls made from map_glyphinfo() based on dungeon level are now called
        once per level
fast hero could have random clairvoyance happen more than once on same turn
using 'Q' on wielded weapon would offer to split stack; make using 'w' on a
        quivered stack behave similarly
weight for giant spider was too low for creature of size 'large';
        weight for giant beetle was much too low for 'large'
leave some menu items out of "invert all" via '@' when their inclusion would
        degrade the usefulness of that interface feature
change crysknife from mineral to bone and worm tooth from unspecified to bone
worn meat ring shouldn't cause increased hunger; neither should fake Amulet
worn +0 ring of protection should cause increased hunger if it is the only
        source of extrinsic Protection
monster wielding Stormbringer or healer's Staff against another monster would
        heal the hero instead of the wielding monster when draining life
change twoweapon feedback from "not a weapon" to "not a suitable weapon"
don't allow twoweapon combat if either weapon is a bow, crossbow, or sling
        [later: or arrows, bolts, and missiles (darts, shuriken, boomerangs)]
drum of earthquake feedback reported various things (fountains, thrones, &c)
        falling into a chasm but they remained intact because trap creation
        had been changed to not clobber such things (so couldn't make pits)
make earthquake which hits a secret door or a secret corridor reveal it
wizard mode wishing for "Amulet of Yendor" had 50:50 chance for true Amulet
        or a cheap plastic imitation; recognize "real Amulet of Yendor" and
        "fake Amulet of Yendor" to precisely specify either of them but also
        take away the 50% chance of yielding a fake one when neither real nor
        fake is specified
unpaid globs showed weight info unconditionally outside of wizmode
walking out of tethered-to-buried-object trap condition was supposed to
        reinstate punishment but wasn't finding the buried iron ball because
        the trap condition was cleared first to indicate escape; result was
        attached chain that got dragged around but had no ball attached
when poly'd into a giant and moving onto a boulder's spot, message given was
        confused about whether autopickup would occur so could be misleading
random role selection wasn't honoring unwanted alignment(s) properly
if at the edge of the map window, trying to move farther fails but used a turn
hero can no longer wear blindfold/towel/lenses when poly'd into headless form
revamp achievement tracking for exploring Mine's End and Sokoban (by acquiring
        luckstone and bag of holding or amulet of reflection, respectively)
throttle long worm growth rate and HP accumulation
poly'd hero was able to zap wands, apply tools, and #rub objects without
        having any hands
spellcasting monster got an extra move after casting
allow defining #wizgenesis quantity in the prompt
digging through iron bars from an adjacent pit made a pit on top of the bars
give feedback if controlled level teleport attempt fails because hero is
        already on the bottom level and player tries to go even deeper
unseen pet that drowned didn't give "you have a sad feeling" message
prevent ravens from blinding other ravens: /corvus oculum corvi non eruit/
have ^X provide more information when held or swallowed
display wasn't updating immediately after toggling hilite_pet option
randomly choosing role could lead to crash via segfault
if eel bite attack caused hero to move (killed + rehumanized + crawled out
        of water), its grab attack could succeed even if no longer adjacent
specifying a count when picking [part of] a stack of scrolls of scare monster
        ignored that count and the whole stack was affected
wizmakemap didn't account for unique monsters and didn't correct monster
        birth counts
generate objects (eg. statues) with genocided or extinct monster classes
        in special levels, if requested
if the orc-town version of mine town has been loaded, creation of orc zombies
        or orc mummies would name them as part of the town raiding orc clan
when punished, involuntarily teleporting and landing within chain range of
        attached ball while encumbered worse than burdened could trigger
        "remove_object: obj not on floor" panic on hero's next move
update persistent inventory when 'menu_headings' or 'sortloot' options change
update persistent inventory when putting on a helmet causes it to auto-curse
inventory cursing caused by "this water's no good" effect when drinking from
        a fountain didn't update persistent inventory window
leashing or unleashing pets wasn't updating persistent inventory window
when the wetness of a towel in inventory changed, persistent inventory wasn't
        updated to show that
using wizard mode identify to ID 'all' updated perm_invent window but IDing
        specific items--even every one of them--did not
hold_another_object added item to inventory first, then maybe removed and
        dropped it, resulting in spurious add and remove perm_invent updates
when hold_another_object fails while hero is swallowed, drop the item into
        swallower's inventory instead of onto the floor
hold_another_object (for wishing, horn of plenty, theft while poly'd, other
        non-pickup actions giving hero another inventory item) wasn't
        reporting change in encumbrance; that would catch up on next turn but
        could be off during additional move(s) for current turn
hold_another_object used hardcoded Stressed to limit carrying instead of
        using the 'pickup_burden' option for that
transforming a potion by dipping a unicorn horn into it could result in the
        potion being dropped due to 'pickup_burden' if encumbrance was already
        over threshold before dipping but within it after removal from invent
fix priest created inside temple wall
fix vault guard occasionally encasing monsters in stone
tone down scare monster by excluding humans and uniques
lock the castle chest
revamp amnesia to forget skills instead of objects or maps
when Punished and carrying the iron ball and levitating, hurtling in the
        opposite direction of a thrown object didn't bring along the chain
recognize "kirin" as alias for "ki-rin" when asked to create a monster
make unique swallowing monsters (Juiblex) resist magical digging from inside
correctly account for fuel remaining when lit candles are attached
        to candelabrum (the previous code would make the game unwinnable if
        there were 15 or fewer turns remaining)
praying on an unaligned altar outside of Gehennom behaved like an ordinary
        prayer; make that always fail
tribute (Discworld snippets) typos, in book order rather than fix order:
        Sourcery passage #4 "the moment the words were out of your mouth" ->
         "the moment and the words out of your mouth" where "were" didn't
         belong and awkward phrasing because of it caused "and" to be removed
         (would be much clearer if optional comma after "moment" was included)
        Moving Pictures passage #10 initial single quote should be double,
         #12 "or" -> "of", #14 second instance of "megalomaniac" misspelled
        Lords and Ladies passage #5, near end add missing opening double
         quote, passage #6 first footnote, insert omitted "be", passage #7
         last paragraph, "to" -> "be"
        Men at Arms passage #1, italicize /for/, passage #2, insert omitted
         word "had": 'it was /fate/ that _had_ let Edward'
        Interesting Times passage #1, italicize several words
        Feet of Clay passage #1, second "does not need" -> "doesn't even need"
        Hogfather passage #7 missing initial double quote for "Oh, just ...",
         also #7 insert missing "you" into "Why are you feeling [...]"
        Soul Music passage #1, italicize /feel/, #8, "fossile" -> "fossil"
        Jingo passage #2 "Vines" -> "Vimes", "profferred" -> "proffered",
         missing opening single quote on second sentence of Lord Downey's
         line, passage #11 both in footnote:  "genious" -> "genius",
         "was, oddly enough, was one [...]" -> "was, oddly enough, one [...]"
        The Fifth Elephant #1, italicize /always/, #9, "dublet" -> "doublet"
        The Truth #1, italicize several words
        Thief of Time #2, "gold starts" -> "gold stars"
        A Hat Full of Sky passage #9 "though" -> "thought"
        Death quotes #29, "metaphore" -> "metaphor"
        various, including Death quotes:  use two spaces to separate sentences
unicorn corpses and wraith corpses could be sacrificed even if "too old"
hero polymorphed into a hider and hiding was not unhidden when teleporting
impose tighter restraints on 'summon nasties', both for spellcasting monsters
        and post-Wizard harassment
prevent swallowing monster ending up in a solid wall if it killed vault guard
fix attached ball getting deallocated if swallowed, going down into a pit,
        and saving
level compiler creates correct novel with supplied name
for farlook, describe water in the castle moat and in Juiblex's swamp as moat
        and as swamp, respectively, rather than just as "water"
make hezrous emit poison clouds when they move
make vrocks emit a poison cloud when they flee
stepping from one type of terrain to another was triggering an unnecessary
        status update
make shriekers summon baby purple worms if purple worms would be too tough
make non-tame (baby) purple worms eat corpses off the ground
make baby purple worms attack shriekers
make hero polymorphed into baby purple worm warned against shriekers
confused scroll of light summons tame cancelled lights
potions of hallucination can give enlightenment
add a small chance of surviving food poisoning
deliberate level teleporter activation ignores magic resistance
auto-id scroll of remove curse when a known buc-state was changed
demon lords hate Demonbane
pets avoid eating shapeshifter corpses unless starving or nearly feral
blessed scroll of teleportation gives a single controlled teleport
allow opening a tin without interruption if slimed
tell player when wielding a different weapon toggles off dual-wielding
object taking erosion damage might give feedback message when out of view
        or not give such when in view, depending on stale value of 'bhitpos'
        [cited case assumed message came from drowned monster's dropped
        inventory when out-of-view ice melted]
it's possible to wish for tins of the Riders in wizard mode; eating one is
        fatal but if you're life-saved or decline to die, the game crashed
revival via undead turning of corpse carried by hero said "your <mon> corpse
        comes alive" even when revived monster was undead
prevent searching or waiting next to a hostile monster if boolean option
        safe_wait is on - override with 'm'
prevent searching or waiting if hero is slimed, stoning, strangled,
        or deadly ill if safe_wait is on - override with 'm'
allow random mimics to show up mimicking more furniture than just stairs
scatter exploding bag of holding contents instead of outright deleting them
male hero poly'd into nymph chooses charm vs seduce message based on being
        male rather than on all nymphs being female but charm message was
        using hardcoded pronouns She,her for target monster--wrong for male
        target and noticeable if "<mon> finishes taking off his suit" is given
hostile monsters with a ranged attack try to stay away from melee range
allow displacing peaceful creatures
unicorn horns don't restore attribute loss anymore
when a shop is changed from food to health food, change room type to match
wish parsing of things containing monster names would accept all supported
        alternate spellings if they occurred at the end ("corpse of mumakil")
        but only some when they occurred elsewhere ("gray-elf corpse" worked,
        "mumakil corpse" yielded "does not exist") depending upon name length
couldn't wish for werecreature corpse or tin because monster name lookup
        always matched the beast form which is flagged no-corpse; switch to
        human form for "were<creature>"
wishing for werecreature figurine always made one that created the monster in
        beast form if activated; allow "human were<creature>" to explicitly
        specify werecreature's human form (for corpses and tins as well as
        figurines); override the restriction against human figurines for that
wishing for "royal jelly" yielded "lump of royal jelly" as a special case, but
        other 'of' items such as "clove of garlic", "sprig of wolfsbane", or
        "piece of cloth" didn't allow using their post-of words as shorthand
monster or object detection found semi-dead vault guard at <0,0> while
        traversing fmon list; monster detection gave misleading feedback
        (blank map instead of 'strange feeling') if there were no other
        monsters on level; likewise object detection and guard's minvent
squadprob[] in mkroom.c was defined with 5 elements but initialized only 4
        resulting in giant ants sometimes
allow nurses heal attack when wielding a non-weapon/weaptool
if riding or levitating, hero could apply bullwhip downward to pull up things
        from underwater or lava; feedback implied the item was on the surface
some monster code was checking whether pets or engulfers were eating green
        slime by checking for green slime corpse instead of glob
change light radius of stack of candles to square root
could get redundate "mon hits other-mon" messages when mon wields an artifact
failed untrap while mounted that moved hero onto the trap would leave steed
        with stale coordinates, triggering warnings if 'sanity_check' is On
when digging a pit results in it being filled by adjacent pool or lava, any
        objects at the spot weren't subjected to water or fire damage;
        also, riding hero's steed wasn't subjected to immersion either
after "double trouble", cloned Wizard would wait until he had suffered some
        damage or hero moved into direct view; keep STRAT_WAIT for original
        Wizard but avoid that for clones
beyond turn 100000, prayer timeout is longer (scaling with game length)
falling while going down stairs and dropping items due to encumbrance or
        punishment wasn't subjecting fragile ones to breakage
objects scattered by an explosion which land on water or lava weren't affected
        by the water or lava
change mkclass() to usually honor (always honor for L class) the hell-only and
        never-in-hell monster creation flags; no more achi-lich in the Castle
        (nor master lich there unless demilich gets a potion of gain level)
thieving monster could be killed while hero was removing armor, triggering
        warning "stealarm(): dead monster stealing" when taking-off finished
petrifying a long worm and then reanimating it handled tail incorrectly;
        with sanity_check On, X coordinate of head segment was reported as 0
attempting to read a novel while blind reported "you can't read the mystic
        runes" like for a spellbook; use "you can't read the words" for novel
don't let life draining reduce a monster's max HP below its level + 1
report "<Mon> expires" rather than "<Mon> dies" if polymorphed hero kills a
        non-living monster (golem, vortex) with life drain (vampire bite)
allow hero in silver-hating form to ring the silver bell but only if on/over
        the vibrating square
reading the Book of the Dead while blind is allowed; doing so gives
        "you turn the pages of the Book of the Dead" and the type of item
        becomes discovered, but the object wasn't being flagged as 'dknown'
        so if not seen yet it remained "a spellbook" in hero's inventory
reading cursed Book of the Dead while blind gave feedback for sighted hero
reading non-cursed Book of the Dead after prepping with the other tools gave
        a message referring to those as "artifacts" if either of them were
        cursed; those unique items aren't artifacts so use "relics" instead
zapping a line of boulders with striking or force bolt was updating 'couldsee'
        but deferring 'cansee', resulting in seeing the first boulder fracture
        and only hearing that happen for the others despite coming into view
the default engraving, epitaph, and bogus monster inserted by 'makedefs -s'
        (3.6.6 fix for empty source data file) lacked terminating newline, so
        when the corresponding file wasn't actually empty its first line ended
        up concatenated; default portion of the bad combined entry would be
        decrypted properly but the portion from the file's first line wouldn't
if the Wizard of Yendor fled up the stairs on level 1, the game would behave
        as if he was still in play, but he wouldn't be on migrating monsters
        list so couldn't be brought back and wouldn't appear on Plane of Earth
        (stale non-zero value for context.no_of_wizards)
if a mind flayer's psychic blast targeted a hidden monster, feedback named
        the monster but it wasn't brought out of hiding
hero poly'd into a mind flayer who used #monster to emit a psychic blast was
        able to harm mindless monsters with it
some hero attacks that should have gotten a skill bonus or penalty didn't
change internal name of "<foo> venom" to "splash of <foo> venom"
some operations that made sense to handle venom ('D', scroll of identify, no
        doubt others) ignored it because venom is suppressed from packorder;
        matters for wizard mode or for normal play that loads wizard bones
singularize "splashes" to "splash" instead of "splashe"
treat slinging gems and tossing or slinging stones at unicorns as attacks
give rot-away timer instead of revive timer to corpses of cancelled trolls
switch revive timer to rot-away timer if a troll corpse gets cancelled
uncancel an ice troll if its corpse is put into an ice box; give corpse a
        revive timer if later taken out
splitting a stack of candy bars gave new wrapper text depending upon the
        obj->o_id value assigned; keep existing text for both halves of stack
        (side-effect: separate candy bars usually won't merge anymore)
describing tin variety (deep fried, pureed, &c) relied on the 'contents known'
        flag but object identification wasn't setting obj->cknown for tins
wizard mode #wizintrinsic: setting Levitation wouldn't block Flying as
        intended because the check for that was being made too soon
chatting to the quest leader in wizard mode with sufficient experience level
        and insufficient piety, player is asked whether alignment should be
        boosted; answering 'n' resulted in being prompted a second time
end of game inventory disclosure passed an inappropriate argument to the
        inventory display routine; not noticeable for tty and curses,
        noticeable but not harmful for X11, and slightly harmful for Qt
turning into slime rendered hero as slime one turn too soon
avoid potential infinite loop if hangup occurs at ring "right or left?" prompt
randomize the turns where accessories and extrinsics affect nutrition
handle being interrupted by approaching monsters more consistently
if hero attacked a peaceful monster, some other peaceful monsters with humanoid
        shape (minotaur, zruty, perhaps others) that witnessed it but which
        shouldn't be capable of normal speech expressed their surprise audibly
make gasp/exclamation message from peaceful monsters be more verbose to
        indicate which monster is doing the gasping or exclaiming
when make was invoked with -j makedefs instances could end up running in
        parallel and could trample on each other's temp files; default to
        using mkstemp(); allow a port runtime library implementation that lacks
        mkstemp() to define HAS_NO_MKSTEMP to revert to the old behavior;
        provide a work-alike mkstemp() implementation for windows visual studio
        in mdlib.c so there is no requirement to define HAS_NO_MKSTEMP there
make piranhas faster and give them extra bite attack
fire sources can ignite candles, lamps, and potions of oil
for multiple drop ('D') with menustyle traditional or combination, if the only
        object class player picked was '$' then it operated on all classes
small monsters could seep through their shirt
don't snuff brass lantern when it's hit by water unless it is submerged
when reporting that hero can't repair a chest's broken lock with key/pick/card
        just describe the base item without BUC, user assigned name, &c since
        "You can't repair a chest's lock with an uncursed key." implicitly
        suggests that you might be able to do so with a blessed or cursed one
pre-populate teleport destination prompt with travel destination
ghosts cannot be renamed
tossed upwards objects got two times half physical damage reduction
monster xorns could pass through iron bars but not eat them; monster rock
        moles could no neither; now they can eat bars when adjacent and will
        do so if the bars are blocking their path
hero poly'd into rust monster could implicitly eat bars when adjacent by
        trying to move there, now when in rock mole form too; in xorn form
        can explicitly eat them via 'e' after moving onto their spot
monster hiding under an egg that hatched was kept hidden
restful sleep regenerates hit points
restful sleep gives a warning message few turns before you fall asleep
attacking non-adjacent concealed mimic by applying a polearm would make the
        hero be stuck to that mimic
hero could break a wand ("raising the wand high over your head, you break it
        in two") even if hands were welded to a two-handed weapon or to a
        one-handed weapon and also to a shield
if a monster threw a cockatrice egg at the hero but hit and petrified another
        monster, the hero would get credit/blame for killing it
since ki-rin look quite a bit like unicorns, make them be more like one:
        allow them to use their own horn to cure themselves; remove M1_ANIMAL,
        change MS_NEIGH to MS_SPELL, add MR_POISON, use horse body parts;
        they're still 'A' rather than 'u' and don't care about gems
wand/scroll of create monster or bag of tricks that makes a new monster which
        can be seen or sensed becomes discovered, but was doing so even for a
        concealed mimic seen as furniture or an object
'showscore' could be used to determine how much gold was inside a container
        whose contents were unknown
wizard mode (only way to get timed flying): if levitation and flying time out
        on same turn, player was told "You have stopped levitating and are
        now flying."; status line wasn't updated to remove stale Fly condition
throwing or kicking a shop container (that's light enough to move) made the
        hero pay for any gold inside, then didn't refund that amount if the
        container landed inside the shop
try to fix message sequencing for tame golems that "roast/rot/rust in peace"
autodescribe when moving the cursor was erroneously honoring MSGTYPE=stop
        and potentially delivering sounds
reduce the number of "seeXYZ" commands by renaming some: #seenv -> #wizseenv,
        #seegold -> #showgold, #seespells -> #showspells, #seetrap -> #showtrap
when saving while punished or game ends while punished, handling for ball and
        chain might access freed memory with unpredictable consequences
brown pudding monster hitting another monster with decay attack corroded armor
        instead of rotting it
<?> -> <full key bindings> omitted 'n' prefix and M-digit for number_pad mode,
        and ^A/re-do was suppressed due lack of obsolete '#define REDO'
add missing key binding support for rush.numpad; default is M-5 for numpad==1
        or plain 5 for numpad==2 where behavior of 5 and M-5 are swapped
allow monsters to use wand of undead turning to revive corpses on floor
        in some situations
selling a container to a shop for gold leaves any contents that the shop
        doesn't ordinarily buy and sell owned by the hero, but selling the
        container for credit resulted in the shop taking possession of such
        contents without giving any additional credit; mark out of place
        contents 'no_charge' so that hero can reclaim them without buying
add some new demonic and angelic maledictions
when fire damage dried a wet towel, it would never reduce the wetness to 0
when water damage wet a towel, the new wetness might randomly become less
make Death revive earlier, and all the Riders after 67 turns at latest
when protection from shape changers begins, force mimic out of concealment
        even if hero can't see its location; for locations that can be seen,
        don't make double-trouble Wizard concealed as another monster--or pet
        temporarily mimicking something while eating mimic corpse--fall asleep
best possible armor class reduced from -127 to -99; worst from +127 to +99;
        charged or enchanted individual items also capped at +/- 99 (affects
        wizard mode wishing, negligible effect on normal play)
fix several inconsistencies for objects at hole locations
make repeat (^A) work when bound to some other keystroke
if a prefix key was bound to some character which ordinarily ran a regular
        command and that command wasn't bound to another key, typing the
        prefix followed by a non-movement key behaved strangely:  instead
        of reporting "invalid direction" it would run the other command
        (actually depended upon relative order of prefix's new and old key)
reqmenu (the request-a-menu prefix supported by a handful of non-movement
        commands) could be bound to some key other than 'm' but it only
        worked if the new key was also a movement prefix
when telepathically sensed pet ate a mimic corpse and temporarily took on
        a different shape, you were told that you sensed it changing into
        something but the map continued to show its true shape (telepathy
        overrides mimic hiding); give a different message in that case
when a pet ate a mimic corpse and tried to temporarily look like a sink it
        ended up looking like a throne (terrain type SINK == symbol S_throne)
have dowhatdoes ('&') catch up with '?i' to describe ^A, ESC, and movement
        prefix keystrokes correctly instead of reporting "no such command"
give barrow wights a cold touch
for configuration using external compression on save files that applied a name
        suffix, 'selectsaved' (restore via menu) couldn't handle any which had
        been manually uncompressed, mangling file name trying to remove suffix
an empty lamp hit by fire reported "the oil lamp catches fire" (but at least
        didn't light)
spells that require a target spot rather than a direction (like skilled
        fireball) would not let a blinded hero target his/her own spot, with
        feedback stating hero failed to hold location sufficiently in mind;
        when not blind, such spells left autodescribe feedback for target spot
        in the message window while the spell was being performed
prevent wish request "death wand" from matching Death monster and producing a
        random wand instead of a wand of death
grammar bit: "you hear a [AEF] note squeak in the distance" (should be "an")
during engraving, spaces were counted instead of non-spaces [later: affected
        code is gone, removed when engraving was converted into an occupation]
when an explosion scatters objects, make any that fly over sinks stop there
output message when changing fastmove mode while cursor targeting
messages when Minetown watchmen become angry could report "you see an angry
        guard approaching" even if he was invisible and hero can't see invis
when autopickup is on but disabled due to being inside a shop, have ^X say so
don't force fake player monks to always be male
it was theoretically possible to overflow an internal buffer containing
        inventory letters by carrying more than 52 separate lit candles and
        using the '(' or '*' commands
hero would be blinded and stunned by an Archon's radiance (gaze attack) even
        if the Archon was blind, but monsters would not
applying a polearm to attempt to attack a hidden monster would report "wait!
        there's a monster hidden there" and display the "remembered, unseen
        monster" glyph but only use a turn if polearm wasn't already wielded
key parsing during options processing was inconsistent between OPTIONS=foo:k
        BINDINGS=k:foo where k represents a key designation; the OPTIONS form
        recognized backslash escape sequences but not M-x meta characters,
        vice versa for BINDINGS (most noticeable for menu interaction keys
        such as menu_next_page because those can be set via either directive)
when creating a rolling boulder trap, don't place boulder on a path that
        starts on or passes over a pit/spiked pit, hole/trap door,
        teleport trap/level teleporter/magic portal
remove superfluous "All" from "All foos are already nonexistent." when blessed
        genocide tries to remove something which has already been genocided
"#dip <item> into -" produced a scrambled message:
        You mime dip <item> intoing something.
similarly, "#rub the royal jelly on -" produced
        You mime rub the royal jellying on something.
mounted hero falling out of saddle shouldn't hit ground and take damage when
        levitating or flying (if done without steed's help)
avoid "obj not free" panic if monster kills itself by reading scroll of earth
attempting to throw a partial stack of gold at self was prevented but left
        the partial stack in an extra $ inventory slot
quivering a partial stack of gold succeeded and put the partial stack in an
        extra $ inventory slot
if player managed to get multiple $ items, all but the last could be moved to
        normal letter slots via #adjust and then subsequent #adjust with a
        count could split them into even more slots
when a monster on the far side of a closed door opens it, sometimes the hero
        was told about the monster without it being displayed on the map
also show extended command name when showing what a key does in help
poly'd hero who exploded when attacking a monster didn't wake up other
        monsters in the vicinity; when attacking thin air, hero's explosion
        woke other monsters within different radius than same monster's would
troll corpse revival was inhibited by hero wielding Trollsbane; change that
        to being killed by Trollsbane instead (wielded by hero or by monster)
statues representing petrified creatures on Medusa's level might be from
        monsters who change form (golems) when hit with stoning damage
attempt to make corpse or statue of a named player character would yield that
        of a random monster instead when 'record' was empty; could result in
        statues of non-stonable creatures in cockatrice nests
homemade tin of very low nutrition corpse gave more nutrition than the corpse
magic mapping performed while engulfed or underwater would display whole map
        but then not switch back to the engulfed or underwater restricted view
#overview used hardcoded bold and inverse for highlighting; switch to the
        'menu_headings' option value so player has some control
for menustyle:full, the 'A' menu choice to auto-select everything now only
        does so if no other choices have been picked; when any have (object
        class or BUCX state or both), it auto-selects every item that matches
        those choices (so still skips the second menu) rather than every item
using travel to move one step diagonally where that step was blocked by being
        too narrow to squeeze through stopped travel instead of considering
        alternate routes to the destination
turn off input autocompletion for '#twoweapon' since simple 'X' invokes it;
        likewise for #wizdetect (^E), #wizgenesis (^G), #wizidentify (^I),
        #wizlevelport (^V), #wizmap (^F), and #wizwish (^W); probably ought
        to do so for #overview (^O) too but that one still autocompletes
if a branch has only one level (Fort Ludios), prevent creation of any level
        teleporters there (level definition doesn't have any but wizard mode
        wishing could attempt to place one)
opening/unlocking magic zapped at monster holding the hero will release hold
        (zap at engulfer already expels hero); zapping at self has same effect
when riding, allow scroll of remove curse read by hero to affect steed's saddle
the 'scores' option for final top ten display left default values in place if
        only some of the three settings were set; 'scores:own' should have
        produced '0 top/0 around/own' but ended up as '3 top/2 around/own'
allow 'scores:none' as shorthand for 'scores:0 t/0 a/!o' (player will be told
        whether new score made the list but no scores will be shown)
contents of chests, large boxes, and ice boxes are now immune to water damage
        unless the container is cursed, same as for oilskin sacks (previously,
        chests+large boxes were always immune and ice boxes always vulnerable)
applying an empty brass lantern in an attempt to light it reported "your lamp
        has run out of power"; change to "your lantern is out of power"
when swallowed or underwater, player could be told about events (such as a
        shapechanger taking on a new form) that the hero sensed but which
        were not shown on the screen; treat being swallowed or underwater as
        situations which block telepathy, extended monster detection, warning
some rolling boulder trap feedback was inconsistent
change "killed by <a foo>, while {paralyzed|frozen} by <a foo>" into
        "killed by <a foo>, while {paralyzed|frozen}" if the killer caused
        hero's helplessness
"It looks very angry" would be given if a hero wielding Excalibur or Demonbane
        offended an unseen demon lord
Entering a special room, only wake up the monsters in that room instead of
        doing a level-wide wake-up
any blessed key was behaving as if was the rogue's Master Key when unlocking
        a trapped chest or box
when an unseen non-pet picks up or uses an item, hero loses known/dknown/
        bknown/cknown/lknown memory of that item (so becomes unidentified; in
        particular, player won't be asked what to call unseen thrown potion)
when picking up a stackable item, it can be identified by comparing it to
        another identical item that is already identified
wishing for a partly eaten wraith corpse yielded "partly eaten food (1) more
        nutritious than untouched food (0)"
if PREFIXES_IN_USE was defined (and VAR_PLAYGROUND forces it to be) when
        COMPRESS was also defined (external save and bones file compression
        via fork()+exec()), the file name buffer in docompress_file() wasn't
        big enough so could overflow and trigger a crash
suppress "This <foo> corpse takes {delicious|okay|terrible}" if preceded by
        "You have a bad case of stomach acid" or "Ecch - that must have been
        poisonous"
innocuous items like scrolls or eucalyptus leaves did harm when falling on
        hero's head after being thrown upward
fighter types who start out knowing all non-magic armor should not know
        cornuthaum and dunce cap
prediscovered weapons adjustmens:  only knights and samurai know polearms;
        rangers know launchers (bows), ammo (arrows), and spears regardless
        of their race/species; likewise, rogues know all daggers
if the move counter ever reaches 1000000000, end the game
knights get no metal armor penalty for clerical spells
change touch of death from instadeath to maxhp reduction and damage
report cause of death due to touch of death as "killed by the touch of death
        inflicted by <monster>" instead of just "killed by a touch of death"
report cause of death due to wand/spell/breath as "killed by <flash damage>
        zapped/cast/exhaled by <monster>" instead of just "killed by <damage>"
dying from being level-drained below level 1 killed hero without saying so
        and jumped straight to "do you want your possessions identified?"
conflict will now consider your charisma and requires line of sight
boost hit points of some golems
make anti-magic fields always drain max energy
eating magical monsters such as wizards or shamans may give a mild buzz
make exploding spheres create an actual explosion
pets are more careful about attacking monsters at low health
allow killing your quest leader to open the quest
give King Arthur Excalibur
when moving the cursor to examine the map, have '^' move to next trap even if
        that trap is displayed with some other symbol (web, vibrating square)
change valkyrie and warrior (valk quest) monsters from chaotic to lawful
change attendant (healer quest) monster from lawful to neutral
quit is not longer bound to M-q
change default value of autopickup to off and color to on
resurrected corpse of mon could end up with different gender from original mon
using a bullwhip to snatch a wielded cockatrice corpse from a monster when not
        wearing gloves and without life-saving could trigger "obj_is_local"
        panic during final cleanup
make fire-command autowield an appropriate launcher and add fireassist boolean
        option to toggle the assistance off
Angels and priests were always described as "the {Angel,priest,high priest} of
        <deity>" when first two should have been "{an Angel,a priest}..."
shopkeepers can remove pits and webs
perm_invent: when buying shop goods using itemized purchasing while persistent
        inventory window was enabled, the prices of unpaid items went away as
        soon as any item was bought (actual item-by-item purchase worked ok)
perm_invent: making an engraving which reduced known enchantment of a weapon
        or known charge count of a marker didn't update persistent inventory
perm_invent: over-reading a spellbook so that in faded to blank didn't update
        persistent inventory to show that if blank spellbook was already known
change getloc fastmove keys in number_pad mode from hardcoded HJKL to the
        run/rush movement keys (meta+number)
allow using rush/run prefix key in getloc to fastmove the cursor
avoid "it" in messages "Wait!  There's an it hiding under <an object>!" (hero
        moving) and "It was hidden under <an object>!" (unseen monster moving)
don't extinguish burning objects when engulfed by a fire vortex
allow wishing for a novel via description "paperback book" (previously only
        worked when specifying "paperback spellbook")
deal with gold leaving a shop via scatter()
defer encumbrance check during polymorph to new man; newman() -> redist_attr()
        -> encumber_msg() could report change in encumbrance that immediately
        became obsolete if polyman() subsequently restored old attributes
fix heap-use-after-free when attacking monster with potion
for "a" vs "an", add ukulele and uke as exceptions for "an u<anything>"
add new extended command #retravel
remove special doinv key, functionality was equal to BIND=0:inventory
some monsters should not have been scared of bugle playing
monsters that drowned would never leave a corpse (holdover from decades ago
        when it wasn't possible to recover anything from a water location)
give alternate message if hero is blind when throne gives "your vision clears"
monster wearing an alchemy smock was only getting poison resistance from it,
        not acid resistance; give both properties, just like for hero
in wizard mode, knowing teleport away spell resulted in ^T always attempting
        the spell instead of teleporting on demand
describe a couple of isolated moat spots on Samurai quest home level as water
        rather than as moat
crawling out of water to avoid drowning didn't work as intended when trying
        to move diagonally through a tight squeeze
in wizard mode, polymorphing into hero's role monster in order to revert to
        normal form would complain about missing light source if hero was
        changing back from the form of a light-emitting monster [didn't affect
        normal play because role monsters are invalid polymorph targets there]
revise a 3.6.1 fix: if a spellbook which is being read becomes cursed, always
        stop reading: "The <book> slams shut!" and set book->bknown
concealed mimic could trigger sanity check warning "mimic concealed as an
        object despite Prot-from-shape-changers" if hidden as "strange object"
cancelled shape changer would become uncancelled if saved and restored (even
        just leaving its level and then returning)
don't include time spent suspended in background (^Z) or in shell escape (!)
        in the total elapsed time recorded to xlogfile
if a monster is starting to turn into green slime, eat the corpse, tin, or
        egg of any creature that might polymorph into a fiery monster to cure
        the slime, not just of one of a chameleon
yet another fix for display problems during restore:  if game is saved while
        hero is hallucinating but that's suppressed because of wielding
        Grayswandir, hero is riding, and the steed is on or over an object,
        restore will try to update hero's spot when making sure objects aren't
        being obfuscated by hallucination, but when displaying the hero there
        instead it would access steed pointer before that has been set up
resistances gained from worn or wielded items also protect hero's inventory
dwarvish cloaks somewhat protect hero's inventory from cold and fire
non-metallic gloves protect worn rings from shock
message "Oops!  food rations out of your grasp!" occurred due to perm_invent
        in mid-operation overwriting all of xname's/doname's obufs; fixed by
        having hold_another_object() defer perm_invent update til done with
        all its args (so fixed as a side-effect of "spurious add and remove
        perm_invent updates" above, prior to being reported as #K3401)
similar "The ogre lord yanks Cleaver from your corpses!" due to caching the
        result from makeplural(body_part(HAND)) then having a perm_invent
        update clobber that; fixed by having inventory display release the
        obuf used for each item so that the same one will be reused for the
        next item, to avoid churning through the whole pool of obufs
gas clouds are a little random in how they spread out from a point
Izchak occasionally stocks wands/scrolls/spellbooks of light
data tracking for #overview was mis-using u.urooms[] and after being in a
        situation where hero was in multiple rooms at once, visiting other
        levels might flag unvisited rooms as having been visited
special damage attacks by the Riders and by fatal-illness inflictors such as
        Demogorgon did no damage against other monsters, only against the hero
using obj->o_id to control 'random' behavior of a helm of opposite alignment
        could potentially be controlled by player when wishing for such
obj->o_id might be set to invalid value 0 when a partly used up stack had a
        dummy copy added to a shop's bill or when a bones file was loaded
        (in theory that could happen on any system but in practice it could
        only happen on a configuration that uses 16-bit ints)
if a Rider or displacer beast swapped places with a single-segment long worm
        the segment co-located with the head wasn't moved with that head;
        if sanity_checking was enabled a warning could be triggered:
        mon (000000) at seg location is not worm (123abc)
blessed scroll of remove curse read while confused blesses or curses any
        uncursed items in inventory, but if hero was dual-wielding and the
        scroll cursed the secondary weapon, that would be dropped and further
        object traversal would process items on the floor at hero's spot
        instead of the rest of inventory
can now use m<dir> to try to move to an adjacent boulder's spot without
        pushing it; hero poly'd into a giant or a tiny creature or carrying so
        little as to be able to squeeze there will succeed, others will fail
breaching a shop wall, using locking magic to put a door there, then unlocking
        that door yielded a situation where subsequent shop damage repair
        produced invalid map data which resulted in an impossible() warning
        about "wall_angle: unknown" during map display; similar for a vault
        wall if it's the spot where the guard arrives to lead hero out
if vault guard arrives on a boulder in a breach in the vault wall when coming
        to lead the hero out, smash that boulder into rocks so that the hero
        won't try--and fail, because the guard will be in its way--to push it
when vault walls are repaired, destroy any rocks or boulders at their spots
melting ice timer could persist after the ice was gone from digging or from an
        exploding land mine
using 'F'orcefight against iron bars while wielding something breakable could
        yield erratic outcome because non-deterministic breaktest() was being
        called twice and could yield results that conflicted
have applying a polearm give feedback similar to 'F' for melee weapon when
        attacking a wall or boulder
if weight_cap() ever returned 0 (which probably can't happen), using #untrap
        to pull a monster out of a pit would trigger a divide by 0 crash
avoid "you now detect it where the vampire bat was" when a vampire shifts from
        a bat seen with infravision to an unseen fog cloud
if an artifact gets created as a random treasure drop and then deleted because
        it is too big to include with a small corpse, explicitly uncreate it
        instead of just discarding it so that it is eligible for use later
when creating random contents for a container, explicitly exclude artifacts
        (already implicitly excluded because randomly generated artifacts are
        all weapons and containers don't start with any weapons in them)
don't give lance or mattock as starting equipment when creating soldiers
fixup for the insect "legs" (some extraneous walls inside solid stone) on the
        baalz level didn't work as intended if that level was flipped
handle flipped level when fixing up the baalz level "eyes" too
prevent normal monster activity from picking up the mines' luckstone or the
        Sokoban amulet/bag before hero has done so; relying on scare monster
        and/or engraved Elbereth wasn't sufficient to guard the Sokoban prize
proceed a little further into dochat() if hero is deaf
stacks of 1 to 49 gold pieces weighed 0
the chance for #untrap to free a monster stuck in a web was very unlikely
        unless hero was poly'd into spider form; make it less hard
if #untrap monst-from-web failure happened while hero was standing on a spot
        where a new web couldn't be created (furniture, grave, magic portal),
        the expected "<monst> remains entangled" feedback wasn't delivered
if hero is wearing an amulet of magical breathing and polymorphs into a fish
        or sea monster, don't lose health for turns spent out of water
fix up some "the" handling for monsters whose type name is upper case to avoid
        "Uruk-hai is healthy for a statue", "You can't polymorph into Oracle"
controlled polymorph would turn hero into new man or woman if player asked to
        become a unique monster of the same race (so usually human) instead of
        being told that polymorphing into the specified form wasn't allowed
assigning a fruit name that matches the name of an artifact which doesn't use
        any "the" prefix could yield messages showing "the Artifact" when
        dealing with the artifact rather than fruit: "You are blasted by _the_
        Excalibur's power!"; didn't impact basic inventory formatting
selection of random engravings, epitaphs, and hallucinatory monster names had
        the same problem that rumor selection used to have:  entries which
        follow longer than average lines are most likely to be chosen and
        ones which follow shorter than average lines are least likely; use
        same workaround as for rumors:  pad the shortest lines; result isn't
        uniforn distribution but is better (tradeoff vs size; see makedefs)
make selection of random rumors, engravings, epitaphs, and hallucinatory monst
        names have uniform distribution by handling long lines specially
when filling a special room with monsters, if one that can come in groups got
        picked the group could spill to outside of the room
extend 3.6.1 fix to explicitly use name of unseen shopkeeper instead of "It"
        in various shop related messages (ones issued outside of shk.c)
fix some inconsistencies with applied bullwhip vs monster
polymorphing while wearing an amulet of strangulation from a form that wasn't
        vulnerable to one that was gave wrong message ("still constricts")
for accessibility reasons, give a message when monster teleports and
        when a monster is created during gameplay (for the cases that
        did not have their own custom message)
if a gremlin stole intrinsic 'see invisible' the map wasn't updated properly
mark some messages as urgent ("You die*.", having equipment stolen, being
        caught in a magical explosion)
if a leashed pet changed name (#name m) or an unnamed pet changed type
        (polymorph or grow-up) and perm_invent was On, persistent inventory
        display didn't get updated to show the leash's changed information
attack feedback when using a bullwhip said "swing"; change to "lash";
        use "lash" for hero hitting with wet towel too
attack feedback for monster using polearm when adjacent said "thrust"; change
        to "bash"
apply runmode delay to multiturn actions, not just running
if a giant carrying a boulder was on ice that melted, it could be killed
        twice, first by drowning, then by boulder filling the resulting pool
        when it dropped inventory before being removed from the map
allow fire-command to automatically use a polearm, if wielding it
make '$' command also count gold carried inside containers
fleeing leprechauns bury their gold after teleporting
allow #tipping container contents directly into another container
when one leg is wounded, have ^X report which (already used plural if both)
wand of probing used on steed ('z >') didn't include wounded leg(s) feedback
getting wounded in one leg when the other was already wounded miraculously
        healed old leg and kept longer of their recovery timeouts for new one
when parsing config file entry "BINDINGS=key1:cmd1,key2:cmd2,key3:cmd3" allow
        keyN to be either a naked comma or backslash+comma instead requiring
        that comma's numeric value be used to bind comma to a command
when two or more shops share a wall and hero uses Passes_walls to carry an
        unpaid item from inside a shop into the shared wall, it could yield
        impossible "unpaid_cost: object wasn't on any bill" when examining
        inventory if the shop code picked wrong shopkeeper to determine cost
when two or more shops share a wall and hero uses Passes_walls to carry an
        unpaid item through the shared wall into another shop, theft of that
        unpaid item from the first shop wasn't noticed
redo the unpaid_cost fix to handle shop items inside hero-owned container
flyers shouldn't fall on arrival when going down holes or trap doors
change movement keys and some special keys into extended commands
"WHAMMM!!!" feedback when kicking a door suggests noise so if hero is deaf an
        alternate message should be given
fix typo in message shown when hero sees a monster's wet towel become drier
for hero with slippery fingers, enlightenment reports "slippery fingers" or
        "slippery gloves" but self-probing described it as "slippery hands"
when hitting with wet towel causes it to lose some wetness, defer "your towel
        dries" until after the hit message
do some extra damage when hitting an iron golem with a wet towel
when already at level 30 and gaining another level--which doesn't increase
        level further but does add more HP and Pw--throttle the increases
don't stop running when next to a peaceful, unless it blocks the way
mindless monsters shouldn't cringe stepping on squeaky boards
falling down a hole or trapdoor will cause damage proportional to fall height

reading magic marker shows the specific red ink color
imps and other creatures cussing hero wake up nearby monsters
make ravens oviparous
thrown items can get stuck in webs
engraving with Fire Brand burns the text on the floor and does not
        dull the artifact
make looting less tedious by getting rid of a y/n prompt making the command
        go directly into the loot-in-out -menu
always give a message when monster changes form via polytrap if seen
illiterate hero receiving a spellbook from their deity gets the spell shoved
        directly into their mind instead

chargeable rings have a chance of getting charged when hit with electricity
flint and hard gems break less often when thrown
hobbits getting a sling also get some ammo for it

casting a forgotten spell uses some random amount of power
heroes starting with a spell have at least one level one spell, and
        have just enough power to cast it
huge monsters and pit fiends get easily out of pits
give a message when a trapped monster frees itself from some trap
change kitchen sink glyph to a white {
killed wood golem has a chance to also drop small shields, clubs,
        elven spears, and boomerangs
discovering an object on first turn with persistent inventory enabled might
        not update inventory info for that item (autopickup a blank scroll
        or spellbook and read it as first action; it becomes discovered but
        will still be shown as if undiscovered until next inventory update)
most traps now require touching the floor to trigger
if a lit potion of oil on the floor was launched by an explosion and it hit
        and killed the hero via missile damage rather than its own explosion,
        it could trigger an "obj_is_local" panic when end of game cleanup
        tried to extinguish it as a light source
place_object() validated coordinates after using them to index level.objects
killed rope golem may drop leashes and bullwhips
using magic portals stuns hero for a few turns
using level teleporters confuses hero without teleport control for a few turns
clear obj->bypass for buried objects [a giant on ice triggers a fire trap,
        inventory is subjected to burning and surviving objects have their
        bypass bit set, giant is killed by fire trap and drops a boulder and
        other inventory, ice is melted, boulder plugs resulting pool burying
        rest of giant's dropped inventory, subsequent sanity checks report
        that there are buried objects which are 'flagged bypass']
give Sunsword as starting gear only to lawful Angels; since Demonbane has
        become a mace and Angels only get swords, they won't start with it
for #knownclass with menustyle=Traditional, allow player to ask for `a even if
        no artifacts have been discovered yet, same as `<any-object-class>;
        likewise for `u to ask to see unique items
reduce eucalyptus leaf nutrition to 1
life-saving might increase max HP; if level drain triggers that, don't let max
        HP go up because it confuses healing for monster wielding Stormbringer
HP recovery and/or max HP boost from eating royal jelly didn't perform a
        status update to show the change
if poly'd hero is hiding under food and eats or #offers that food, stop hiding
hide-under monsters who can be turned to stone aren't able to hide under a
        cockatrice corpse unless there is something else present but make sure
        that the other items aren't all more cockatrice corpses
don't stop travel when going past a closed door (eg. when traveling along
        a room wall)
some monster corpses can now convey temporary acid or stoning resistance
fix travel getting stuck oscillating between two locations
kicking a trapped chest and getting the exploding chest result destroyed items
        at the hero's location rather than the chest's location; because of
        that it left the exploded chest intact
it was possible to destroy a Rider corpse with an exploding chest
when teleporting, don't consider pits/spiked pits/trap doors/holes as unsafe
        destination locations if hero is levitating or flying
try to avoid locations with engraved Elbereth or scare monster scroll when
        creating new monsters or picking teleport destinations for monsters
        who are susceptible to those
be more flexible when wishing checks for artifact name matches; now allows
        "firebrand" or "fire-brand" to yield "Fire Brand"
exclude unique monsters from pacification when untrapped from web
ask to kick a door open, if it's locked and you don't have unlocking tool
give a message when stinking cloud is created on top of hero
when being life-saved prevents the hero from moving again during current turn,
        avoid logfile annotation "while helpless" if hero dies a second time
if drinking from a fountain randomly gave the 'detect monsters' effect but
        there were no monsters on the level then there was no feedback
object detection always showed a mimic imitating a statue as a tengu even if
        it had information available about some other type of monster
avoid "the Lord Surtur's corpse glows iridescently" when shk_your() or the()
        is applied to the corpse of unique monster with a personal name
restoring while attached ball or chain is on floor in a breach of a shop wall
        could have it be moved out of wall gap as that gets repaired, then
        might trigger an impossible about being positioned too far from hero
don't try to catch up for lost time for shop damage repair in restdamage()
        called from getlev(); let normal shopkeeper movement take care of it
shop wall repair that was delayed because the hero or a monster was an
        obstacle in the gap at repair time might not be displayed as wall
        once the obstacle moved and the repair eventually took place
putting objects into a container with menustyle=traditional and then taking
        them back out with #tip would result in complaints about obj bypass
        bit being set if sanity_check was On
when drinking or dipping, allow the 'm' prefix to be used to skip asking
        about fountains and pools
calling real or fake Amulet something could give away information about them
throwing gold while inside a purple worm would yield "The gold disappears
        in the the purple worm's entrails." (note doubled "the")
inventory #adjust for !fixinv, after picking 'from' slot the prompt for 'to'
        slot was supposed to include the next letter beyond those in use as
        a candidate for destination but an off by 1 error only showed a-x
        where x is last letter used (despite that, y could still be picked)
with two-weapon combat or Cleaver attacking multiple targets, hero kept going
        with next attack after being paralyzed by passive counter-attack
trap detection could falsely find trapped secret doors; those can't be trapped
        due to details of how they use overlaid fields in the rm structure
for force-fight against edge of level, report "you harmlessly attack unknown
        obstacle" rather than "you have moved as far <direction> as possible"
using wizard mode ^V in endgame to return to previously visited Plane of Water
        now gets the same air bubbles back instead of a replacement set;
        likewise for clouds on Plane of Air
on tty at least, "version incompatibility for save/123xyzzy" was invisible:
        a blank message of appropriate length followed by --More--
fix a pair of off-by-one bugs when doling out initial characteristics points,
        resulting in an unintentional bias toward Str and away from Cha;
        negligible effect on individual games but had a minor cumulative
        effect across a large set of games
using a marker to write "novel" or "paperback book" on a known blank spellbook
        was producing a randomly chosen Pratchett novel; make it fail instead
when a monster killed a pudding and it left a glob, that glob might not be
        displayed on the map (wasn't an issue for killed-by-hero case)
if player gave a subset count when removing an item from a container, then got
        the pickup_burden prompt and declined to continue, the item remained
        split rather be recombined, making it possible to create multiple
        stacks of gold inside a container
two-handed weapon message stated "welds to monster's hand" instead of
        "welds to monster's hands"
when formatting an object, avoid capitalization of "The" in "<item> named
        The <quest-artifact>"
be less specific when cause of death is "handling a <ring or wand>" that
        happened to be silver for current game; list it as "a silver ring" or
        "a silver wand" rather than "ring of searching" or "wand of locking"
adjust the row placement of copyright and early startup messages so that
        aren't partially overwritten by prompts that follow
ball and chain could be accessed after having been freed if bones were saved
early post-3.4.3 tried to fix the "naming artifacts trick" which could be used
        to distinguish the type of some undiscovered items, but using a name
        that only matched an artifact after capitalization was exploitable
the u.ustuck hierarchy is:  swallowed by ustuck, hero poly'd into sticky form
        is holding ustuck even if ustuck is sticky, ustuck is holding hero;
        but some code assumed that the first two cases were reversed and
        could make formerly sticky pold'd hero clear ustuck, leaving hero
        swallowed by nothing (u.uswallow==1 with u.ustuck==NULL); that could
        cause a crash if u.ustuck got dereferenced
when a vampire gains levels and grows into a vampire lord, change its cham
        field (shapechanger base type) from vampire to vampire lord so that if
        it revives in base form it won't revert to plain vampire
a migrating long worm that couldn't arrive could be placed at <0,0> while
        setting up another migration attempt to the level, triggering
        impossible "trying to place long worm tail at <0,0> mstate:8 on level"
        (message is confused; it should say "long worm" without tail)
dropping things with 'D' wouldn't merge them with compatible items already at
        that floor spot because use of obj->bypass made them seem incompatible
a hero on the quest home level who runs or travels past the quest leader and
        gets tossed out of the quest for some reason would keep running on the
        far side of the quest portal
allow rush/run over water if wearing discovered water walking boots
putting on water walking boots while underwater (maybe via magical breathing)
        and rising to surface wasn't causing the boots to become discovered
flying pets wouldn't target underwater food but if they happened to fly over
        such food they could and would eat it
praying on an altar with pet corpse on it can revive the pet
applying a cursed oil lamp can make your hands slippery
valkyries start with a spear instead of a long sword
grid bugs don't have hands
if #wizmakemap was used to generate a replacement level while any shopkeeper,
        temple priest, or vault guard from the level was off of it at the
        time, the monster's eshk, epri, or egd data became invalid and would
        cause trouble if the monster returned to its 'home' level
similarly, if #wizfliplevel was used to transpose an active level while a
        vauld guard was maintaining a temporary corridor or while a monster
        with eshk, epri, or egd data was off level, that data became invalid

some large monsters can knock back smaller monsters with a hit
change Demonbane to a mace, make it the first sac gift for priests,
        and give it an invoke ability to banish demons

when invisible without see invisible you could see your hands glowing red
        after reading a scroll of confuse monster and delivering melee hits
greased saddle makes it impossible to mount the steed
if an item-using monster zaps a wand of digging downward on a level that

monsters can zap wands of teleportation at hero
piranhas devour corpses
turn on menucolors boolean automatically if any menucolors are defined
blind hero was notified when brass lantern burned out even though it isn't
        warm enough to detect that by touch; manually switching the lantern
        on or off can be determined that way so still gives on/off message
turn on statushilites automatically if any are defined
change poison instakill to damage with attribute and max hp loss
trappers and lurkers above enfold themselves around and crush their victims,

attempting to move up or down when poly'd into a holder and holding a monster
        rejected the move; release the monster instead
throwing a non-weapon while engulfed by an ochre jelly reported that the item
        vanished into the jelly's "currents"
if a pet gelatinous cube eats a container, treat it the same as when a hostile
        one does:  the container is destroyed but its contents are engulfed
when breaking a wand of sleep hits the hero with the explosion, don't describe
        that as "the sleep ray hits you"
expose fuzz tester to wizard-mode as #debugfuzzer extended command
monsters which cannot move due to boulders or walls try to escape
intelligent monsters see and remember when others trigger traps

        produced impossible "unpaid_cost: object wasn't on any bill."
more consistent feedback if a reviving corpse becomes an unseen monster
improve consistency between applying a key and explicitly opening a door:
        if in a pit, you're told "you can't" and no time elapses; if there
        isn't any door in the direction supplied, you're told "no door" and
        time elapses if you discover the non-door's terrain type but doesn't
        if you already knew the type there
if a bones file contained a doppelganger imitating a unique monster, a game
        that loaded those bones would end up with that monster counted as
        having already been created so it wouldn't be created when the time
        for that arrived (the doppelganger would change its shape normally,
        not be stuck in the unique monster's form)
if Vlad was lured to a level which allowed bones, he could be present in a
        bones file for that level if he was in wolf/bat/cloud form at the
        time hero died; getting those bones in another game would flag him
        as extinct; if that occurred before entering his level he would not
        be created there, leaving no way for hero to acquire the Candelabrum
when mounted hero got hit by an explosion, hero and steed shared resistances
removing an engraving from frost (ie, written with fingers on ice) reported
        "you wipe out the message that was written in the _dust_"
orc hero starts with poison resistance but orc monsters lacked that
orc hero has maximum 18/50 strength but hero poly'd into an orc got 18/100
hero with exceptional strength (18/01..18/100) retained that when polymorphed

give hero poly'd into a giant 19 strength instead of 18/100
wait for a response after displaying wishing help; affects X11
guardian nagas' constriction attack could never hit because the two preceding
        attacks must both hit and those were mutually exclusive: bite and spit
explicitly throwing 1 for non-gold stack of more than 1 and then canceling at
        direction prompt left a pair of stacks of 1 and N-1 with same invlet
some attack damage which shouldn't affect shades operated as intended when
        hero could see it happen but erroneously affected them when not seen
phrasing of the "you can't" message when attempting to name any monster
        defined with a unique name or title sounded strange when rejecting
        <space> to remove the existing name without assigning a new one
some instances of using up or stealing shop-owned boulder didn't charge for it
when hero hears an unseen monster reading a scroll, only describe the monster
        accurately if hero is not hallucinating and monster is same species
        as hero's current form
don't allow monsters to disarm hero with bullwhip if hero is engulfed
teleporting an object out of a shop put it on the shop bill instead of dealing
        with robbery
map browsing during gold detection didn't describe fake gold marking traps
        when detection was via cursed scroll
if hero's action caused engulfer to expel swallowed hero, it might do so onto
        a level teleporter and then have its memory accessed after being
        freed when current level was saved in order to load destination level
throwing recoil while levitating could send hero out of shop while carrying
        unpaid items, triggering sanity check warnings; once outside, taking

if punished and iron ball was cursed and wielded--so welded to hand--falling
        when doors would drop it instead of keeping it welded
if player's run-time config file had OPTIONS=role:Val and the environment had
        NETHACKOPTIONS='role:!Val' the hero would be a Val instead of !Val
sleeping or unconscious hero attacked by Medusa would meet her gaze
if a trap killed both the hero's steed and the hero an impossible "dmonsfree:
        N+1 removed doesn't match N pending" warning could occur
prevent paralyzed hero from helping nymph or succubus remove worn armor
when identifying items via menu and more than one pass is needed (so when

dying in a wall spot (temporary gap or via Passes_walls) shared by two shops

a monster capable of using a polymorph trap to deliberately change form could
        do so when trapped in an adjacent web or pit; if that happened, the
        monster remained flagged as 'trapped' and wouldn't be able to move

protection from shape changers now prevents the Wizard from mimicking monsters
having worn levitation boots removed and destroyed (scroll, monster spell,

        malloc implementation which overwrites the contents of freed memory
ensure that all window interfaces respect flags.silent (suppress terminal beep)
falling into lava, being life-saved, and teleporting out could yield redundant
        descriptions of what was present at hero's new location
if hero had passes-walls capability and was at the location of a closed door,
        attempting to use 'o' on own spot reported "you don't find anything
        here to loot"; change to open door for '.' (or '<'), only loot for '>'
items thrown by monster landing on an altar did not show BUC flash
a chameleon in giant form who gets trapped (bear trap?) while carrying
        boulders and changes shape could be killed when dropping them;
        shape-change traversal of its inventory would continue after it
        dropped everything, possibly resulting in a crash
if hero is engulfed and polymorphs into a monster form which is too big to be
        engulfed, make engulfer expel the poly'd hero
give feedback if monster holding onto the hero has to let go when hero polys
        into a form which can't be held
prevent hug attacks and touch or engulf attacks for wrap, stick-to, and
        digestion damage from succeeding against unsolid targets (ghosts,
        vortices, a few others) or against worm tails
wand of speed gives temporary speed, potion gives intrinsic
some monsters (riders, shopkeepers, priests, quest leader) can break boulders
if hero owes shop for a boulder and shopkeeper breaks it, continue to bill hero
        for the boulder rather than switching to the resulting rocks
corpse-eating monsters will go out of their way to eat corpses on the floor
warnings via impossible() would be unseen if message suppression via ESC at

avoid "wall_angle: unknown hwall mode 4" when using #terrain command to
        display a spot remembered as a wall but actually a secret door that

it was possible to produce a web at a water or lava location; it would not be
        visible but could trap the hero, resulting in drowning or incineration
engraving in an open doorway was allowed, engraving in closed one (presumably
        via Passes_walls) was not, but closing the door on an engraving was;
        change to allow engraving at closed door location
engraving in a breach in a shop's or vault's wall or vault guard's temporary
        corridor would leave the engraving intact after repair/cleanup
if a fire resistant non-fire immune monster wearing a thoroughly burnt wooden
        shield got knocked into lava, burning the shield completely yielded
        impossible warning "obfree: deleting worn obj"
hangup in wizard or explore mode would result in answering ESC to "Die?"
        prompt if that was reached, and since default is 'no' the hero would
        be life-saved and the game would try to keep going; if circumstances
        resulted in repeat death then the program might get stuck in a loop
        instead of exiting [no reports of such, but if it ever happened the
        process was probably killed without anyone knowing why it happened]
with OPTIONS=blind (blind from birth), being inflicted with timed blinding
        yielded "your vision seems to dim for a moment but is normal now"

hero might hear unseen monster read scroll of create monster or scroll of

        to call it something but not when it was teleportation, allowing the
        player to deduce which type of scroll it actually was

in wizard mode, #terrain has offers to view all map locations as single-
        letter codes corresponding to the levl[][].typ numbers and to view

starting inventory: magic markers are more likely (guaranteed for
        Wizards), but have fewer charges
early dungeon (pre-Sokoban) generates extra useful survivability items
potion of healing is much more common, and has a unique price
alchemy may affect only a portion of the dipped potions if a large
        stack is dipped (especially if that stack is diluted)
monster kills can no longer deathdrop comestibles (other than the
        monster's corpse) unless the monster collects food or
        generates with food
about 10% of the heroes will now be left-handed; track the handedness of the
        hero in the 'you' struct
if a monster fled from hero by intentionally jumping into a vault teleporter,
        it would teleport randomly instead of into the vault, and if the
        teleport trap's niche wasn't mapped yet, the trap would become mapped
        but the spot would remain a secret corridor and not become accessible
boomerang travels in a clockwise arc when thrown by a left-handed hero and in
        a counterclockwise arc when thrown by a right-handed hero
spellbooks weight 50 units but Book of the Dead only 20, and novels only 1;
        the Book of the Dead has been changed to 50 and novels to 10
save and restore hero tracks, increase track length
change vrock and hezrou from red to green, adjust vrock tile to have green
change wolf and werewolf to grey, warg to black
change [master] mind flayer, the Wizard, and the riders to bright magenta
change Nalzok and Minion of Huhetotl to bright red
walking into a shopkeeper tries to pay the bill
show billed items in a menu when paying with non-traditional menustyle
prioritize paying shopkeeper next to you even if multiple are detected
avoid impossible "trapped without a trap (fmon)" from 'sanity_check' when a
        drum of earthquake made a pit at a monster's spot and pit creation
        caused adjacent pool/moat/lava to flood that spot; if a non-floater,
        non-flyer monster survived that, it got marked as trapped even though
        flooding deleted the trap
demons cannot be frightened by showing them their reflection
HP regeneration formula has changed, primarily to be less fast in the endgame
riding negates stealth unless the steed is flying
previous hero rising as undead in bones retains intrinsics
level temperature affects monster generation
amulet of unchanging cannot be polymorphed
wishing for a "lit candle" provided one, but the feedback as it was added into
        invent was "partly used candle (lit)" because of how 'lit' timer works
don't fall off steed because of Fumbling if saddle is cursed
cursed welded quarterstaff doesn't prevent spellcasting
wielded quarterstaff gives a small spellcasting bonus
if polymorphing a potion turned it into oil, dipping potions produced oil
        randomly, or a horn of plenty produced a magic potion and converted
        it into oil, the resulting potion of oil had its age (amount left)
        set of the original potion's age (turn it was created) and could burn
        for an arbitrarily long time if applied; conversely, polymorphing oil
        into non-oil kept its relative age (no noticeable effect though)
an engulfer capable of passing through iron bars could do so even when hero
        was engulfed
some uses of mons[obj->corpsenm] weren't excluding obj->corpsenm==NON_PM (-1)
if a covetous monster tried to teleport next to the hero but the level was
        completely full, it would be booted off the level (set to migrate
        back if the hero left and returned) instead of just staying put
if loadstone was unIDed but had been assigned a type name and you failed to
        pick one up, the message referred to it as "gray stone" rather than
        "stone called <assigned name>"
when a vision blocking gas cloud dissipated, the screen didn't necessarily
        get updated to show newly visible locations in a timely fashion
if confused #loot while on a throne moved whole stack of quivered gold into
        'coffers' chest, the gold wasn't unworn from quiver slot, potentially
        leading to crash when quiver was subsequently accessed
when filling quiver slot, don't bother asking "what do you want to ready?" if
        invent is empty
no secret doors or corridors on the first two dungeon levels
the number of items destroyed by elemental effects is based on the damage
randomize the spellbook in the second level of vlad's tower
monsters weren't randomly generating if exactly one square was outside LOS,
        and it contained a monster
when a spellbook was polymorphed into a novel and then incrementing spestudied
        field turned it into a blank spellbook, the novel's title would stick:
        "{spellbook of blank paper|plain spellbook} named <Discworld title>"
walking on ice can make you slide in a random direction
if an adjacent statue was a in a pit, you could break it with a pick-axe even
        though you're conceptually at the wrong elevation to reach it
using '#adjust c c' to collect all invent items compatible with the one in
        slot c prefixed the inventory update message with "Merging:" rather
        than "Collecting:" if there was at least one compatible stack; when
        there weren't any compatible stacks and it was effectively a no-op,
        the prefix used was "Collecting", lacking its intended colon
using '#adjust c d' or '#adjust d c' after splitting slot c via '#adjust Nc d'
        for N less than c's stack size swapped c and d instead of re-merging
        them even though merging was the intended behavior (the 3.6 change
        that caused this was intended to avoid collecting other compatible
        stacks while still merging the two specified ones)
ring of aggravate monster increases the level difficulty
if hero shattered an unseen monster's weapon, the [also unseen] weapon was
        described in the feedback
don't self-genocide if a monk picks "master-lich" or "masterlich" as target
        (was matching "Master" rank)
Sunsword can be invoked to create a blinding ray
Excalibur is much harder to get if hero is not a knight
pets considered any noise made by hero made as whistling
silent monsters in stinking clouds don't cough
unblind telepathy range depends on number of telepathy granting items worn
gold thrown or kicked at a sleeping monster with the 'greedy' attribute gets
        caught instead of being treated as an attack but the catch message
        neglected to report that target monster was awakened in the process
hero movement affects the water bubble movement direction
pets and peacefuls avoid a location hero just kicked
pets avoid a possible boulder pushing location in sokoban
shopkeepers bill you for using their bear trap or land mine
when engraving with a stack of eligible weapons, split one off the stack and
        dull it rather than dull the whole stack
when engraving with a stack of cursed weapons, treat it differently if that
        stack is welded to hero's hand:  write in dust and leave whole stack
        welded rather than split one off stack to engrave on floor
hero or monster didn't fall into pit if water at the location was boiled away
shopkeepers magnified the cost of shop items used up as a group; normally
        using an item splits 1 from its stack, but applying a stack of N
        candles to light them all charged N * N * single_candle_price
the tile for Ixoth (knight's quest nemesis) depicted a demon rather than a
        dragon; change it to be a red dragon
untrapping containers or doors gives some experience
only honor DEBUGFILES (for activating debugpline() calls) when in wizard mode
if hero is on scroll of scare monster or Elbereth, werecreature switching from
        human to beast form or general monster polymorphing into a susceptible
        form will become scared right away instead on its next move
'altmeta' option didn't work as intended when 'number_pad' was On; typing
        "n <count> ESC c" wasn't treated as "n <count> M-c" because reading
        the 'n' changed program_state.input_state from commandInp to otherInp,
        preventing special ESC handling; not an issue when number_pad was Off
a 3.6 fix to avoid a potential "object lost" panic when drinking potions had
        unintended side-effect of making used up potions on shop's bill become
        separate bill entries all with count 1 despite having come from same
        unpaid stack; affected Ix inventory listing and itemized shop billing
buying shop items which include any unpaid ones inside containers would reveal
        them even when the containers hadn't been opened (obj->cknown==0);
        recent change to pay via menu made the problem become more visible;
        shopping has been changed such that buying anything that is inside a
        container requires that the whole container be bought as a unit
using #loot -> 'i'n to put multiple items into a shop-owned container would
        ask whether to sell each item to the shop, and was prepared to accept
        'a' to sell the current one plus all the rest beyond it, or to accept
        'q' to not sell the current one or any beyond it, but the sell vs
        don't-sell state was being reset for each item so 'a' and 'q' didn't
        stick beyond the current one
join wall "spines" with walls of water and lava
some theft messages by nymphs force "she", others use default monster naming
        which yields "it" when unseen; change the latter to "someone" which
        still differs from "she" in a series of messages but isn't as jarring
if a nymph stole worn armor and got killed (perhaps by pet) before hero's next
        turn, feedback would be "You finish taking off your suit." regardless
        of the type of armor being taken off
when setting an option interactively [via O or 3.7's mO], if the particular
        option uses a prompt to get a line of input (for compounds: 'fruit',
        'scores', most numeric ones), input was treated as a comma-separated
        list of option[:value] rather than just the new value of that option
when there was a trap on a no-dig level, the floor beneath it was always
        "too hard to dig into", making it impossible to remove the trap
the #terrain command didn't know how to cope with visible gas/cloud regions;
        treat as traps as far as player choice of whether to show or hide;
        if/when a spot contains both region and trap, show the trap
region expiration reported "the gas cloud around you dissipates" even when the
        hero was swallowed
region expiration could report "the gas cloud around you dissipates" and also
        "you see a gas cloud dissipate" for the same cloud spot
reduce shopkeeper's innate speed from 18 to 16 so that a hasted shopkeeper
        doesn't always get 2 moves per turn
when a secret corridor was discovered by wand of secret door detection or by
        wizard mode ^E and converted into a regular corridor, if there was a
        formerly embedded object at the spot, presence of the object would be
        forgotten unless within range of a light source
when poly'd into a giant, kicking a closed door always succeeds in breaking it
reduce crystal plate mail weight
interactively setting a status highlight for hunger with 'O' and choosing
        'text match' could crash while setting up the menu of hunger status
        value strings; happened for curses or if the program was built to
        use C++ regex processing but not for tty+posixregex
a pet with the hides-under attribute could "move reluctantly over" a cursed
        object and then hide under it
prevent monster generation in the sokoban trap hallway
change MSGHANDLER from compile-time to sysconf option
allow changing extended command autocompletions via #optionsfull
if eating a tin's contents caused the hero to choke to death or turn to stone,
        resulting bones would contain the tin still intact
when hero who is poly'd into metallivore form eats a tin, bypass "smells like
        <monster>" feedback and the "Eat it?" prompt; just eat the contents
        along with the tin without asking
digging in ice was handled inconsistently, particularly if done at the span
        spot in front of closed drawbridge
angry god may remove an intrinsic
gelatinous cubes eat organic objects inside them
pets with reflection were unwilling to attack floating eyes
artifact gifts are rebalanced (easier to obtain; higher-value sacrifices are
        needed for higher-value artifacts; lower-value artifacts are usually
        gifted enchanted; unaligned artifacts are possible but rare even on
        the first gift; artifacts you can't use well are less likely)
luck gains from sacrificing are limited by the value of the sacrifice
failed #untrap could move hero diagonally into or out of an open doorway
remember box is trapped after finding the trap
when you hear a monster incant a scroll, ensure that the 'I' invisible
        monster indicator doesn't trump telepathy briefly
proceed with showpaths option even if the sysconf file is missing
angry shopkeeper was not charging for thrown items
avoid "You fall down a deep shaft!" if deliberately flying down
since introduction in 3.1.0, the definition for Mitre of Holiness has specified
        that carrying it provides fire resistance, but that had never been
        implemented; wearing it didn't confer fire resistance either--there is
        no 'defends' capability for it since carrying should encompass that


Fixes to 3.7.0-x General Problems Exposed Via git Repository
------------------------------------------------------------
incrementing EDITLEVEL to invalidate incompatible save files was not working
        as intended because VERSION_COMPATIBILITY was defined as 3.7.0-0 and up
        rather than as 3.7.0-N for the current EDITLEVEL 'N'; undefine it
fix compile when DLB isn't defined
urealtime.realtime was being incorrectly calculated
revised "mysterious force" when climbing out of gehennom could generate
        warnings about "rn2(0) attempted" or "rn2(-n) attempted"
after 'w' on split stack patch, wielding '-' would cause an object_lost panic
same patch allowed partial stack from getobj to replace cursed wielded weapon
autounlock of door or chest took no time; chest case depended on whether
        anything got looted along with the unlocking
autounlock with artifact unlocking tool didn't do touch check on that tool
autounlock picked Rogue's artifact key over lock-pick or credit card (or
        ordinary key depending upon invent order) even for non-rogues who
        would be blasted when touching it
wielded aklys had its "(tethered weapon...)" description scrambled
randomized trap name could pick trap #0 which isn't a trap and yielded "water"
if running and Blind or Stunned or Fumbling or Dex < 10, encountering a closed
        door orthogonally would keep reporting "ouch! you bump into a door"
        repeatedly until eventually interrupted by approaching monster or
        hunger or ^C
data.base lookup of an entry with any blank lines would falsely claim that
        "'data' file in wrong format or corrupted" after some extra checks
        were added while investigating tab handling anomalies
using nhl_error() to report a Lua processing problem would clobber the stack
level teleportation's "You materialize on a different level!" could be given
        out of sequence with other arrival messages
more sequencing: if wielding Sting or similar and level teleporting to a
        level with different warning effect, the start-glowing or stop-glowing
        message came before the materialize message on the destination level
prevent "you materialize on a different level" after "a mysterious force
        prevents you from descending" if you try to level teleport past the
        stairs down from the quest home level before being granted access
creating Mine Town variant 1 (Orcish Town) sometimes complained about being
        unable to place lregion type 1 and failed to have any staircase up
set g.context.botl for glove and wielding actions that could start or end
        bare-handedness in support of condtests[bl_bareh]
reinstate ranked ordering of the status condition fields
grammar for messages about a monster removing items from a container was bad
some new status conditions didn't always update when they should
fix flipping non-existent stairs and ladders (github #311)
fix door created into random wall or position opening into solid wall
handle gone portal when going back in quest
'use_inverse' option was accidentally made Windows-only; change it back to
        being more general; change its default to True
change inconsistent achievement spelling of "Mine Town" to "Minetown"
fix crash in water_damage_chain
teleport feedback "you materialize at another location" was given too soon
'mention_decore' was repeatedly reporting "you are back on bottom" when
        moving around underwater
revised 'mention_decor' was describing furniture or ice right before look-here
        described the same thing when stepping onto object(s)
poison gas clouds located over known but unlit pools were visible as known
        clouds but steam clouds in that situation were not
after the wish parsing change, wishing for "<something of monster>" or for
        "<monster something>" worked as intended but wishing for "<monster>"
        (where <monster> used the canonical spelling) triggered a crash
fix new "objects[0] class #1 not in order!" panic if plain 'char' is unsigned
only generate shop items on solid floor squares
avoid gcc 10 warning by removing duplicate definition of 'head_engr'
if a monster removed a corpse from an ice box, the corpse would never rot away
monster creation on quest levels could make genocided creatures
enabling wizard mode 'sanity_check' option would complain about invalid mhpmax
        value for level N monsters created with a d8 value of 1 for all N d8's
disable that extra check because gremlim HP split after cloning triggers it
some versions of tiles processing (not X11's) complained about the rename of
        "{acid,blinding} venom" to "splash of {acid,blinding} venom"
wizard mode #timeout changed to show timed Displacement in 'can be timed in
        normal play' section instead of 'timed via #wizintrinsic only' section
the fix to make worm visibility checks work as intended forced the coordinates
        of the extra tail segment co-located with the worm monster to match
        the worm instead of leaving it off the map; place_worm_tail_randomly()
        reverses the segments and can throw some away if there isn't room,
        but throwing away the extra segment removed the worm from the map
using 'O' to try to change 'symset' was a no-op; 'roguesymset' worked
change default for lit attribute in special level des.terrain directives to
        'unchanged' instead of 'unlit'
replace worm tail placement code that reportedly led to a sanity_check warning
        [no actual code problem found; might be compiler bug for 'xchar']
learn scroll of teleportation after reading even when random destination is
        right by starting spot
fix off-by-one bug in dimensions of theme rooms
fire/frost horn feedback when zapped by monster was inaccurate (falsely
        claimed that it was "directed at self" when attacking hero)
tins of spinach and 'dead' eggs could cause out of array bounds access
        attempting to index into mons[] by polyfodder() macro
options help ('? g') listed all boolean options, then repeated them among
        the compound options; on macOS they showed a description of "(null)"
        but for other sprintf implementations they might cause a crash
change name of #wizlevelflip to #wizfliplevel
dwarves could sometimes pass through walls without digging their way
fix genetic engineers dropping Schroedinger's cat box
the checks and handling for fountains, sinks, and drawbridges were being
        missed during liquid_flow
monster movement flags unification allowed displacer beasts to displace Riders
a long worm with no visible segments (but one internal segment) might trigger
        warning: tail 'segment' at <0,some_y>, worm at <mx,my> if teleported
adding displacer beast inadvertently introduced a regression in swapping with
        pets, allowing them to be pulled into water by hero on/over water
splitting #if MAIL into #if MAIL_STRUCTURES and #if MAIL made it possible to
        wish for and write scrolls of mail with MAIL disabled, but attempting
        to read such a scroll issued impossible "What weird effect is this?"
remove M2_MALE flag that was unintentionally left on dwarf lord/lady/leader
        entry and was preventing female incarnations
tilemap.c wasn't building if STATUES_LOOK_LIKE_MONSTERS wasn't defined; also,
        to match the code that should be defined so change the preprocessor
        test to 'ifndef STATUES_DONT_LOOK_LIKE_MONSTERS'
ensure that monster female name variation ends up as a female during ^G
arbitrate when there is a conflict between gender term (male or female) and
        a gender-tied monster name (cavewoman) during ^G; gender term wins
wizard mode sanity check complained about Wizard's clone mimicking a monster
new ^G gender-naming handling code required a guard against null permonst
        pointer which could occur under some circumstances
replace "aligned priest" entries in Pri-loca.lua, astral.lua, minetn-1.lua,
        and sanctum.lua, with "aligned cleric"
attempting to swap places with a peaceful monster might cause it to flee
gender-specific monster names can be used in .lua files with the gender upheld
remove unused vision tables
changes accompanying sorting of discoveries resulted in omitting very last
        item for '`'/#knownclass on a class where every item was discoverable
        and had no extra labels (so potions and rings, possibly others, but
        not scrolls or wands) and every item was actually discovered
change to can_reach_floor() resulted in hero being unable to reach the floor
        when held by a lichen
panic if lua init fails
change wizard mode command #wizmgender to wizard mode option 'wizmgender'
engraving with non-blade dulled the weapon anyway (pr #464)
'sortdiscoveries:s' had a spurious generic header shown at the start of the
        last class if there were any artifacts or unique items discovered
loss of saddle by opening magic left hero mounted on unsaddled steed
avoid segfault during error reporting for bad 'O' value(s) after theme rooms
        have been initialized, leaving iflags.in_lua set
avoid complaints of "nothing to foo" for 'force_invmenu' if there are no
        likely candidates to foo with but there are hidden acceptable choices
avoid "Not carrying anything.  Never mind." for 'force_invmenu'
'altmeta' option could be toggled On but once On could not be toggled back Off
wearing a ring of protection and any amulet behaved as if wearing an amulet of
        guarding when determining MC value
messaging for genetic engineer attacks had several problems
give genetic engineers teleport capability (as they had in slash'em); 'port
        away after polymorphing someone so that they don't just repeat that
if an invisible hero managed to convert an unaligned altar to an aligned one
        with color enabled, altar wasn't immediately redrawn with new color
repair some regressions to (a)pply introduced by "getobj refactor" patch
getobj too: allow attempting to (E)ngrave with any item in inventory
getobj refactor also allowed non-nameable items on floor to be assigned names
exploiting the bug to assign type name to glob on floor allowed wishing for
        "N assigned-glob-name" to create a glob with quantity N instead of 1
fix ^X feedback when held typo: "unseen createure" -> "unseen creature"
if a <foo> corpse was set to revive as a <foo> zombie and corpse was partly
        eaten at revival time and monster <foo> is defined as providing more
        nutrition that <foo> zombie, oeaten_stat() could give the warning
        "partly eaten food more nutritious than untouched food" when used to
        calculate zombie's hit points (depended upon how much had been eaten)
undead turning magic revived corpses flagged as no-revive if they were being
        carried but not if they were zapped while on the floor
forgetting an item's known/dknown/bknown/&c settings when picked up by unseen
        monster made it possible to trigger a latent shop bug with globs;
        avoid clearing dknown flag for globs
fix globby_bill_fixup to use shopkeeper instead of Null for glob pricing
applying a book to check readability treated novels as if they were spellbooks
#version was leaving the 'in_lua' flag set and if subsequent 'O' issued an
        error (example was an attempt to interactively set bouldersym to an
        invalid value), the error reporting routine crashed via segfault
lighting for baalz level defaulted to random and could end up being lit
when using 'O' to set menu color patterns, the reminder message that the
        boolean menucolors option needs to be set to True for them to work
        was sometimes given even when already True
stair revamp unintentionally resulted in cursed potion of levitation no longer
        causing hero to hit head on ceiling
enlightenment/disclosure when wielding two weapons with two-weap skill higher
        than secondary weapon's skill had "with" duplicated in the feedback
corpse of monster with gender specific names (king vs queen and so forth)
        was always described by the neutral name (ruler and such)
prevent obj_pmname() from calling mon_pmname(monst) when monst->data is null
        to prevent a null pointer dereference
correct the pluralization of monarch to monarchs, rather than monarches
don't allow web spun by spider to interfere with solving Soloban
fix parsing of wish adjectives (return value broken by changes accompanying
        figurine gender patch)
when picking up a thrown weapon while quiver is empty, don't put it into the
        quiver slot if it needs to be wielded for throw-and-return action
using bhitpos in flooreffects to handle erosion damage broke its original use
        of tracking wand zaps if a teleportation zap hit an object; subsequent
        zap traversal was done from object's landing spot rather than from its
        zap hit spot, resulting in scrambled wand targeting
restore previous behavior of the 'altmeta' option (only wait for a second
        character when getting a command keystroke, not other key input)
baby gold dragons weren't able to grow into adult gold dragons
when hero is displaced, make monsters who try to stay out of direct line do so
        with spot where they think the hero is rather than where he really is
if hero died while wearing gold dragon scales/mail and left bones, they would
        still be emitting light without being worn when bones got loaded
if an invisible monster put on or took off armor while out of hero's sight
        spurious message "Suddenly you cannot see it" would be given
an item thrown or dropped while swallowed was treated as being picked up by an
        unseen monster so object fields {known, dknown, bknown} got cleared
segfault if gremlin fled weaponless hero wearing gold dragon scales/mail
'disambiguate WHACK' patch affected field layout of objects[] but EDITLEVEL
        wasn't incremented, allowing incompatible save files to be restored
restore the boulder exception for piletops that had been unintentionally
        removed during the expanded-glyphs changes
misaligned potion colors due to lack of reset_glyphmap() following obj shuffle;
        this issue only impacted a new game
closed doors were described as "horizontal closed door" or "vertical closed
        door" instead of just "closed door"
glob shrinkage while hero was away from glob's level wasn't handled properly
unpaid shop-owned glob that shrank to nothing had weight 0 which triggered
        onbill warnings when 'sanity_check' was On; for 'Ix' and itemized
        billing, the empty weight was shown to player if 'wizweight' was On
if 'showrace' was On and invisible hero couldn't see invisible so didn't see
        self, the color of whatever could be seen underneath changed to white
in wizard mode, a poly'd priest/priestess attempting to polymorph into priest
        or priestess in order to rehumanize became a new man or woman instead
        because "priest" matched "aligned cleric" rather than the role monster
if a glob which has just shrunk away to nothing was wielded or quivered,
        unwield it before destroying it
after changes to gender tracking for corpses and statues, when a unique
        monster got turned into a statue if was erroneously flagged as female
        rather than 'historic'
changing engraving to an occupation resulted in not dulling a weapon used to
        engrave a single character
a change to wounded legs handling resulted in not recovering lost dexterity
        or receiving the "leg(s) feel better" message if wound time expired
        rather than having legs be explicitly healed
turning movement into commands broke the rest_on_space option; it also
        interfered with using pick-axe plus autodig in downward direction
cursed scroll of light had special message when wielding Sunsword that didn't
        work for wearing gold dragon scales/mail
giving a prefix keystroke other than 'm' prior to a command that doesn't use
        prefixes was silently ignored instead of being rejected
prior revision broke all prefix usage
movement command revamp broke 'm>' and 'm<' on stairs to avoid auto-pickup at
        the destination
when trapeffect_selector() returns 2 to caller mintrap(), meant to signify
        that the monster was killed in the trap, ensure that mintrap()
        returns that value too
have com_pager() check for failed nhl_init(); probably can't actually happen
        because the program would never get that far if lua init was failing
rearranging first-kill and first-hit gamelog messages to get hit before kill
        ordering resulted in "hit with a wielded weapon for first time" being
        given twice if that hit was delivered via applied polearm or via a
        joust hit
rearranging the feedback for first-kill and first-hit introduced a bug by
        not verifying that the wielded item used to hit was a weapon, giving
        erroneous event feedback and potentially giving it over and over for
        other non-weapon hits for as long as never-hit conduct stayed unbroken
counting "just picked up" items when deciding what pseudo-classes should be
        included for the 'I' command's object class prompt was operating on
        an uninitialized variable
changes to stair internals resulted in summoned Kops blockading the stairs up
        rather than intended stairs down
dumplog's list of "major events" showed all logged events, not just major ones
pickup via menu ignored player-specified count when picking up gold
changes in encumbrance sometimes went unreported, leaving stale status line
        info until hero's next move
taking off yellow dragon scales/mail or having temporary stoning resistance
        time out while wielding a cockatrice corpse without gloves left that
        corpse safely wielded instead of petrifying the hero
special level loading wasn't honoring gender specified in lua code
add '#tip' for containers to context-sensitive invent handling
sequencing confusion: picking an item when viewing inventory and picking an
        action to do with it caused the inventory command to use time, then
        on next turn the action was performed without taking any time
program would access freed memory if charging caused a ring to explode
arriving on Valkyrie quest final level could produce impossible warning
        "mkstairs: placing stairs up on molten lava at <68,13>"
if the repeat command was used after prefix+command, only the command part got
        repeated
the change for repeat after prefix+command would result in a crash if repeat
        was attempted after an unassigned key
items obtained via wishing while blind were erroneously being marked as 'seen
        up close' so behaving differently from items picked up off the floor
corpses of neuter monsters had random chance to be flagged as female so would
        only stack with others that made the same random choice
one-shot food testing ability conferred by blessed scroll of food detection
        didn't warn about globs of green slime because the relevant code was
        only executed for corpses, eggs, and tins, not for globs
worn ring of slow digestion blocks per-turn hunger but not the hunger caused
        by wearing it; white dragon scales/mail was blocking per-turn hunger
        and didn't cause any hunger itself; change to treat it like the ring
if the program was built with EXTRA_SANITY_CHECKS enabled, changing levels
        while riding would give impossible warning "no monster to remove"
the change to protect Rider corpses from being destroyed by exploding chests
        inadvertently prevented them from being used up when Riders revived
force-fight against furniture covered by an object described the attack as
        missing an unknown obstacle
using #wizmakemap on Plane of Water added a new set of air bubbles each time
        it was run and eventually replaced just about all the water; likewise
        with clouds on Plane of Air
avoid new "where are we?" panic if player quits during character selection
add Untrap as a potential 'autounlock' action
if a zombie revived near the hero, a busy hero would keep doing whatever
        action was in progress instead of stopping because the zombify didn't
        walk across the threshold from no-threat to threat
revised monster teleportation message handling caused magic whistle to be
        changed to not operate on pets that were already adjacent; change back
revised monster teleportation message handling could produce duplicate message
        when shopkeeper who left shop got returned to it
revised magic whistle produced message sequencing issues when summoned pet
        arrived on a trap, particularly if killed or sent away or shape changed
recent changes in removing a dead monster from the map didn't update screen
        to show objects it dropped; they were present, just not displayed
further changes resulted in dead monsters' corpses be placed at <0,0>;
        reverse the part(s) that cleared stale monst->mx,my
adding name/rename choice to #therecmdmenu caused it to crash when picking an
        adjacent unnamed, untame monster
for menustyle:Full, fix the combination of 'A' auto-pick all plus 'P' just
        picked up to limit what "all" means
for menustyle:Traditional, fix 'P' for just picked up items in inventory when
        filtering what items to put into a container
restrict stunning effect to is_xport trap types
lua's garbage collection didn't like the way nethack was trying to use it and
        issued a pair of warnings each time the relevant code got run
items flagged as just-picked-up were unflagged if you stepped on other items
        without picking anything up
activating a magic portal still gave "you feel dizzy for a moment, but the
        sensation passes" after portal traversal was changed to make the hero
        be stunned for a few turns
after the fix for zombie reviving near hero (which now interrupts hero's
        occupation), could get "revive panic" when eating a troll corpse if
        it revived on the same turn that eating the corpse would finish
a wizard's starting equipment was supposed to include a random spellbook of
        spell level 1 through 3 but it was being foced to be level 1
earlier fix for prices of unpaid objects going away in persistent inventory
        display when hero bought something during itemized billing didn't work
        if paying for a used-up shop item--prices of any unpaid items vanished
        when inventory got updated to reflect transfer of hero's gold to shk
save files created with SCORE_ON_BOTL disabled were erroneously being rejected
        if the program was rebuilt with it enabled and vice versa
avoid "It suddenly appears!" if a monster with the STRAT_APPEARMSG attribute
        is seen to teleport away then not seen at its destination
avoid boulder-on/in-water sanity_check warnings on the Plane of Water
when one monster swallowed/engulfed another and killed it, impossible
        "placing <mon> over itself ..." could be given by place_monster()
if the game crashed or the process was killed, recovering a save file ended
        up with incorrect stairway connections between levels
when using --nethackrc=file on the command line (currently only implemented
        for ports that use unixmain.c), options parsing freed the string
        containing 'file' before using it as the RC file name
using 'o'pen as a synonym for #loot of a container at the hero's location did
        not work if the hero was in a pit
update '?' menu to reflect change to 'O' command
end of game with DUMPLOG could panic due to perm_invent handling, even when
        the persistent inventory window wasn't in use
with color Off and the screen symbol for ice the same as for floor, the black
        and white ice was supposed to be rendered in inverse video but that
        got broken by the symbols and glyphs overhaul
command line processing interleaved with options file processing is complex:
        a recent change to make 'color' show up for tty in the short options
        menu resulted in 'nethack --windowtype:X11' running X11 with ascii map
        ('NETHACKOPTIONS=windowtype:X11 nethack' continued to default to tiles)
when the Astral level got created, any fake player character monsters that
        were seen or sensed when created were reported as "<mon> suddenly
        appears!" rather than be treated as part of level's initial population
tipping contents of one container directly into another allowed transferring
        wands of cancellation and bags of holding or tricks that were inside
        a sack, box, or chest into a bag of holding without blowing it up
prevent random traps from being created inside the shops in the tourist quest
if hero's steed got hit by knockback effect, impossible "no monster to remove"
        would occur (plus more warnings if 'sanity_check' was On)
the #saveoptions command included options changed via doset_simple() but not
        ones changed via full doset()
fix 'nethack --scores' as alias for 'nethack -s'
adding command line 'nethack --usage' broke 'nethack -u name' (however,
        'nethack -uname' still worked for names other than "sage")
being hit by a big monster and getting knockback effect could send hero out
        of a shop (or into its "free spot") while carrying unpaid goods;
        robbery wasn't noticed until hero eventually moved to a different spot
hallucination of objects incorrectly included generic objects as candidates
        for what objects looked like; if an object had its dknown flag set,
        formatting a generic object in its place was unreliable (Null pointer
        deference prior to static analyzer fix, odd fake name "generic" after)
some actions that ask the user to pick a location allow typing '$' to show
        valid spots, accept typing a second '$' prior to moving the cursor to
        toggle the highlights off; ^R already did that; moving the cursor too
change 'm' prefix for #tip from 'use menu to pick among floor containers'
        (since that's already the default) to 'skip floor containers' so that
        context-sensitive item-action Tip directly operates on the item
anti-magic field's reduction of hero's maximum energy could result in current
        energy being one point higher than maximum
if hero was killed by a wand zapped by a monster, cause of death was reported
        as "killed by a bolt of <damage type> imagined by <monster>"
throttle the difficulty of the monsters in theme room "buried zombies"
buried troll whose auto-revive timer expired might trigger panic with
        "revive default case 6"
throwing a helm of brilliance could yield "breaking odd object?"
sanity checking of engravings was stopping after first problem found
the fuzzer could get stuck in a loop if hero died in a way where life-saving
        just resulted in a repeat death (cited case was burning up in lava,
        where life-saving teleports you out of it; if the level is full, the
        teleport will fail and you'll immediately burn up again)
fix unicorn horn's ability to repair blindness
quest nemesis and a few other special monsters are suppressed from bones;
        their death feedback could be given when they were removed
running the tutorial until completion and returning to normal play but left
        the 'no followers' flag set; adjacent pets wouldn't tag along when
        hero moved to other levels
when a magic whistle moved a hidden pet it brought that out of hiding and
        gave a message about "your <pet> appears" but the map was updated
        while it was still hidden so nothing seemed to appear
entering the tutorial stashed hero's equipment for eventual return to normal
        play but going down stairs to the second tutorial level returned it
        too soon and allowed any items gathered on the first level to be kept
entering the tutorial disables the Save command; exiting it is supposed to
        re-enable that but the change to fix the second level broke that
entering the tutorial and then returning to play made the tutorial branch be
        eligible for a portal destination via wizard's Eye of the Aethiopica
'hard helmet' was based on being metallic so overlooked crystal helmet
don't blame/credit hero for stinking cloud if dying quest nemesis releases one
Lua selection operations 'subtract' and 'xor' didn't always work as intended
accept 'true' or 'false' as value for des.object field 'trapped'
special level loader didn't check for bad coordinates supplied by <level>.lua
        file thorougnly enough
hero might not be credited with "entered Mine Town" achievement for the town
        variations which treat the whole level as the town if that level gets
        entered via falling or level teleport
in the theme room "water-surrounded vault", guarantee an item which can
        be used to escape from the room in one of the four chests
pets capable of using items would pick up and wear cursed armor
if something breakable was set up as alternate weapon and the second of two
        bare-handed hits succeeded, it would be broken and trigger impossible
        "objfree: deleting worn obj"
strength cap for hero poly'd into an orc captain was 18/50 even though it is
        10/100 for Uruk-Hai and monster Uruk-Hai can grow into orc captains
status_hilite rule for critical-hp takes precedence over up/down/changed HP
livelog/#chronicle of multiple high priests reported their deaths as
        "killed high priest" and "killed high priest (2nd time)" instead of
        "killed high priest of Foo" and "killed high priest of Bar"
using wizard mode #wizkill outside the endgame followed by m^V to enter the
        endgame without any intervening moves would result in impossible
        "dmonsfree: 0 removed doesn't match N pending on <endgame level>"
dwarf/elf/orc/gnome hero killed by zombie would rise as human zombie for bones
paranoid_confirm:Autoall for menustyle:full has the test handling backward and
        was treating 'yes' as no and 'n' or ESC as 'y'
applying a wielded lump of royal jelly but not picking something to rub it on
        while other lumps of jelly were quivered would trigger a panic,
        "addinv: null obj after quiver merge" (like applying lit potion of oil)
ceiling hider could become hidden when there was no ceiling, triggering a
        warning if sanity_check was On
hero could be forced onto a monster's location if a level was full and an
        engulfer was occupying an adjacent but inaccessible spot, engulfed
        hero, then expelled hero while now occupying hero's accessible spot,
        triggering sanity_check warning "you over monster"
experimental #saveoptions wasn't saving the set of cond_xyz options correctly;
        if player viewed the 'm O' submenu for status conditions, they would
        get saved even if not changed; otherwise, ones that came in from the
        old RC file wouldn't be included in the new one
knockback or recoil while levitating could hurtle the hero through a wall of
        water to the spot beyond unless it happened on the Plane of Water
if recoil from throwing an item while levitating sent hero into a wall of
        water, the thrown item got placed in that water rather than at its
        intended destination
include '-' as suggested item in "what to dip?" prompt if dipping at pool or
        fountain or sink with slippery hands
don't attempt a second hit for bare handed/martial arts if wearing a shield
when using 'm #overview' to annotate a level other than current the one,
        include level number, and dungeon branch if not current one, in the
        prompt instead of generic "this level"
when using 'm #overview' in the endgame, don't include non-endgame levels
when a tethered aklys gets caught in a web, make sure it doesn't return
        and that the display of the tether gets cleaned up
add 'X' as a potential context-sensitive item-action for uwep and uswapwep
monsters weren't noticing hero's possession or lack of magic resistance when
        hero getting zapped by a wand of striking was or wasn't resisted
discard monsters' observations about hero's resistances when saving bones
autopickup while levitating shares code with 'mention_decor'; after being told
        about ice covered by an object, moving over some other object later
        when mention_decor is Off could give "you are back on solid ground"
        long after leaving the ice
duration of temporary stoning resistance would be extended while eating a
        cockatrice corpse, as intended, but not while eating Medusa's corpse
        so if it timed out during the meal, player got the message about hero
        no longer being protected against stoning but was able to finish the
        meal safely
farlook at something that was on top of an engraving or grave would report
        the engraving text or headstone epitaph along with the 'something'
when carrying 52 items (excluding gold), hero couldn't pick up a thrown,
        stolen, or dropped item which was split off from a still-carried stack
supply chests on early levels weighed the same as empty chests until something
        was added or removed
stacked pair of potions of healing in supply chest weighed same as one potion;
        drinking one of the two gave a healing message, then both had their
        weight updated as their stack was split; if close to an encumbrance
        threshold, new weight would trigger an encumbrance increase message,
        immediately followed a decrease message when the potion got used up
bounds checking for object name formatting inadvertently introduced a change
        that hid BUC prefix for charged rings
debug fuzzer was triggering out of bounds array access in loseexp() if
        life-saving at level 1 used blessed restore ability to regain lost
        levels and restored those all the way to level 30; introducing an
        assert(u.ulevel < MAXULEV) changed bounds issue to assertion failure
strength less than 25 was unintentionally being capped at 18/07
if an amulet of flying got stolen while hero was over lava without other
        protection against lava, it would be destroyed even though it's not
        flammable, then attempting to format it for messages would trigger an
        impossible warning about "glorkum", then a crash occurred
poison gas breath from green dragon or iron golem that hit and was reflected
        left target enveloped in a gas cloud (reflection now takes precedence;
        somewhat odd though: gas that misses still leaves target enveloped)
Warning didn't show nearby monsters who were inside poison gas/steam/smoke
        regions
map didn't show adjacent monsters if they were inside a gas region unless
        they were seen via telepathy or extended monster detection, but they
        were described as if visible in messages (combat, for instance)
OPTIONS=symset:blank and symset:plain didn't load the specified symbols if
        used from the RC file or NETHACKOPTIONS
for OPTIONS=symset:blank, S_engroom (engraving on a room floor spot) and
        S_engrcorr (engraving on a corridor spot) retained their default
        symbols ('`' and '#', respectively) instead of switching to space
setting perm_invent in RC file before setting windowtype (whether later in
        that file or via NETHACKOPTIONS) could result in it staying False
        depending upon whether the default windowtype supported it
if hero was wielding potion(s) of unholy water and a magic trap gave its
        remove curse effect, scroll of remove curse would become discovered
object discoveries during the tutorial carried over when normal play resumed;
        counts of monsters created and vanquished carried over too
end-of-game attribute disclosure in wizard mode reported incorrect text for
        for apron/alchemy smock's conferral of poison+acid resistances
        (3.6.x was susceptible to this for T-shirt text but since T-shirts
        don't confer any attributes, it wasn't noticeable)
if a tame or peaceful monster was trapped and blind hero hadn't seen the trap
        yet, attempting to swap places would report "You stop.  <Mon> can't
        move out of that trap." and if the 'tips' option was On, #untrap would
        be suggested; but #untrap would fail due "you know of no traps there"
camera flash hitting a hidden mimic mentioned it as being a mimic but didn't
        bring it out of hiding
when chain lightning hit a sleeping monster, the victim didn't wake up
on medusa-4, Medusa and the downstairs were located in different chambers
on medusa-3 and medusa-4, Perseus's statue was located in a different chamber
        from Medusa
omit "a" from "drowned in a limitless water" when drowning on Plane of Water
restoring a save file could trigger impossible "rnd(0) attempted" if it tried
        to make an unhidden mimic hide as an object; if the code was marked as
        a released version, it would crash due to divide by 0 error instead
fix regression of a post-3.6 fix:  if 2 Wizards of Yendor were in play and 1
        escaped the dungeon, bookkeeping for current number of Wizards stayed
        at 2, interferring with future Wizard behavior
sometimes a repeat count from the preceding command carried over to most
        recent one when using do-again (^A); if the most recent one was an
        extended command, the spurious repeat was for '#'
if peaceful monsters react when seeing hero attack a peaceful monster, don't
        have quest guardians run away; also, quest leader only becomes angry
        if the monster being attacked is a quest guardian
farlook of water/lava location listed wall of lava before molten lava; because
        of that, lava was omitted ("molten" suppressed to reduce vebosity,
        resulting in "lava" which got skipped as substring of "wall of lava")
having #terrain display gas cloud regions as if they were traps didn't work
        for monsters in such regions that are shown when adjacent to hero or
        sensed via ESP
when a monster within a gas cloud was displayed on the map because the hero
        was next to it, it remained displayed if hero moved away
eating a pyrolisk egg on the floor triggered an "object lost" panic
core object creation and the curses interface's window handling both became
        confused by the 'pauper' option/conduct because they assumed that
        invent being Null meant that the game hadn't started yet
wizards were discovering unread spellbooks whenever any skill was advanced;
        do so only when a spell skill is advanced
if tips were enabled, the getpos/farlook tip clobbered the initial prompt (at
        least for tty's one line message window), so reissue the prompt after
        the tip has been displayed
a post-3.6 change to try to cope with invalid light source data when restoring
        corrupted save file caused "panic: relink_light_sources" for valid
        save file if saved while hero was poly'd into a light emitting monster
priestname() didn't handle "a" vs" "an" prefix correctly; normally priests are
        named as "the priest of <deity>" but hearing an unseen priest read a
        scroll doesn't force "the" and yielded "You hear an priest of <deity>
        incant <scroll>."
non-fireproof water walking boots wouldn't be burnt up if fire resistant hero
        walked on molten lava
1x1 poison gas clouds for green dragon and iron golem breath could be placed
        at wall locations
if a pile of objects had plain arrow(s) on top, map location classification
        got confused and reported 'unexplored area'
when the 'fireassist' option was on, 'f' would choose uquiver over wielded
        throw-and-return uwep
knockback could move hero diagonally into or out of an open doorway
farlook of /e or /E stopped reporting engraving and headstone text after a fix
        for the situation where // or ; reported such text when there was an
        object or monster in the way
message was garbled when lightning or acid breath hit iron bars
shop bug: buying a container with unpaid items in it could produce impossible
        "unpaid_cost: object not on any bill" warnings
when walking into/against a locked closed door, 'autounlock'==kick didn't
        execute kick when player answered yes to "Door is locked.  Kick it?"
having a 1% chance of creating rideable monsters with worn saddle gave knights
        a 1% chance of creating an extra saddle for starting pony; it wasn't
        tracked with other objects so produced a trivial memory leak


Fixes to 3.7.0-x Platform and/or Interface Problems Exposed Via git Repository
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
curses: 'msg_window' option wasn't functional for curses unless the binary
        also included tty support
curses: line input that doesn't take place on the bottom line of the message
        window uses a canned curses routine and doesn't support ESC to kill
        partial input or to cancel; "Who are you?" prompt was willing to name
        a character "^["; have the popup version of getlin() fake the usual
        ESC handling, but player has to type <escape><return> for that to work
curses: menu headings didn't use default text color
curses: #perminv changes disabled menu_headings attribute for persistent
        inventory window headings; reinstate that
curses: messages were tagged by turn in 3.6.x so that ^P can place a separator
        between groups of messages; somehow the line of code that recorded
        the turn vanished so ^P behaved as if every message came on its own
        distinct turn, resulting in lots of "---" separators
curses: when entering a count while in a menu, cursor would jump to the spot
        on screen where the hero was, even if menu covered that part of map;
        post-3.6--started when curses was changed to use core's get_count()
curses: clipped map crashed due to uninitialized memory
curses: changes for tty's TTY_PERM_INVENT resulted in viewing inventory under
        curses while carrying only gold to crash; didn't matter if perm_invent
        was On or if TTY_PERM_INVENT was enabled
curses: for screen refresh, don't attempt to refresh windows that haven't been
        set up yet or have already been shut down
curses: for raw_print() in #if PDCURSES config, don't attempt to write to
        message window if it isn't set up yet or has already been shut down
curses: scrollbar 'framecolor' wasn't being initialized before use
        causing an asan crash because the value is used to index an array
curses: typing ESC to cancel something issued a beep; if the terminal was set
        to 'visible bell', the screen flashed; only beep when the ESC is part
        of an escape sequence--other than M-c generating ESC c--and nethack
        is expecting text rather than a command or direction
curses: with window borders on and align_status:left, restoring brought up a
        screen where the message window's border wasn't shown; once it needed
        to be scrolled to fit a new message, the border appeared
curses: after changing curses_mark_synch() to do something, making a menu
        selection by entering a count that uses more than 1 digit caused the
        menu to vanish
curses: setting up default roguesymset at startup clobbered primary symset if
        config file picked Enhanced1 for primary (core bug exposed by curses)
Qt: at Xp levels above 20 with 'showexp' On, the combined status field
        "Level:NN/nnnnnnnn" was too big and truncated by a char at each end
Qt: searching a text window for something that wasn't found and then searching
        for some other target could crash
Qt: changes in glyph handling in the core introduced a bug in the "paper doll"
        display for inventory subset
Qt: during role selection, icons for role and race showed giant ant tile after
        the glyph overhaul changes
Qt: resolve a use-after-free error when saving message history
Qt: with a pick-one menu containing a pre-selected entry, clicking on that
        worked to re-select it, as intended; clicking on any other entry
        instead of typing the selector letter toggled off preselected entry
        but failed to toggle on the explicitly selected one; clicking again
        after nothing was pre-selected anymore refused to toggle anything on
Qt: don't show main window and tombstone window maximized by default
tty: redraw unexplored locations as S_unexplored rather than <space> after
        map has been partially overwritten by popup menu or text display
tty: previous change resulted in remnants of previous level being shown on
        new level after level change when S_unexplored is <space>
tty: for #wizidentify, using ^I as an unseen group accelerator to pick the
        'all' choice was incorrectly checking menuitem_invert_test() and
        failing, so the 'all' choice wasn't being toggled on if user typed ^I
tty: changes to support utf8 resulted in lines of text windows being shown
        starting at their second character
tty: changes to support TTY_PERM_INVENT resulted in blank inventory menu when
        using the 'i' command while carrying only gold; didn't matter whether
        or not TTY_PERM_INVENT was enabled during build
tty: for the !DEF_PAGER configuration, redraw screen properly if attempting
        to display a file fails and tty_display_file()'s caller requests
        feedback for that situation
tty: if a group accelerator matched a menu command ('^' in menu for '/')
        it wouldn't work to select, just to manipulate the menu
tty: after resize changes which included screen erasure changes, ^C and yes|y
        to "Really quit?" while a menu was open would lead to a panic
tty: make cursor visible again when using ! or ^Z to temporarily leave nethack
Unix: after lua changes to Makefiles, 'make spotless' for dat subdirectory
        left some generated data files which should have been deleted
Unix: reject "--sX" on command line except if "X" is "cores" (so "--scores");
        single dash form still accepts "-sX" to lookup scores for "X"
Windows: new tile additions in win/share did not trigger the creation of a new
        NetHackW.res file
Windows: nhl_loadlua() was missing the RDBMODE argument on the [dlb_]fopen(),
        which is required on Windows to set binary mode; binary mode is
        required in order to be able to reliably navigate through a file using
        fseek(), ftell() and fread()
Windows: when VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_SEQUENCES was not defined, the preprocessing
        would fail on consoletty.c
Windows: original fix for GLYPH_UNEXPLORED background tile merging resulted
        in a new issue where the map wasn't being cleared on level changes
Windows: don't dupstr the return value of setlocale if it is NULL
Windows: nethackw.exe calculated vertical spacing for menu items based on
        the height of the tileset in use, even though the tiles in the
        menu were drawn at the default height of 16 anyway; get rid of
        the extraneous vertical spacing between menu rows
X11: fix build failure if STATUS_HILITES is disabled
X11: was still initializing map to 'stone' instead of 'unexplored' after they
        became separate glyphs
X11: for text map without color, add support for black&white ice; draw it in
        inverse video to distinguish from ordinary floor
X11: if perm_invent is set in NETHACKOPTIONS or config file, start with the
        persistent inventory window displayed
X11: use visctrl(response) when X11_yn_function() echoes prompt+response in
        message window
X11: when trying to lookup scrollbars in order to handle scrolling via keys,
        menu handling always ended up finding the top window
X11: enable horizontal scrollbar for persistent inventory window
X11: if a group accelerator matched a menu command ('^' in menu for '/')
        it wouldn't work to select, just to manipulate the menu
X11+macOS: after the "bad Atom" fix (below), the persistent inventory window
        crept downward every time it got updated


Platform- and/or Interface-Specific Fixes
-----------------------------------------
SYSCF: treat most sysconf directives that have invalid values as warnings
        rather than errors; use a conservative default value and continue
curses: for vertical status, line up conditions in columns; usually two but
        condense to three per line if the status window isn't tall enough
        [at present, highlighting with inverse video includes trailing spaces
        used to align entries in their columns--that's a feature...]
curses: indent items in perm_invent window by one space
curses: don't change the terminal's default colors
curses: remove unnecessary special handling for dark gray
curses: sometimes entering a count during menu selection caused the menu to
        disappear (example was apply/loot in-out container menu with two or
        more digits typed followed by non-digit); in-out menu was still active
        but no longer displayed
curses: support backspace/delete when entering a count during menu selection
curses: was failing to honor menu_xxx option settings for menu interaction
curses: make extended command prompt behave more sensibly
curses: if a menu of objects contains at least one iron ball, and player is
        not already in the midst of entering a count, recognize '0' as a
        group accelerator rather than the start of a count
curses: obey timed_delay option
curses: support tty-style extended role/race/&c selection at start of new game
curses: implement mark_synch() and wait_synch()
curses: only convert arrow keys to hjkl or 4286 if nethack wants a direction
curses: conversion of arrows and other numpad-related function keys to digit
        ignored phone-layout setting (inverted up/down) of the num_pad option
curses: ensure alt+'A' through alt+'Z' and alt+'a' through alt+'z' work
        correctly with PDCURSES
curses: fix an off-by-one error when deciding whether a long line on the
        bottom line of the message window can fit ">>" (curses' "--More--")
curses: selecting a partial stack, unselecting it, and then selecting it
        normally did not reset the quantity to the whole stack
curses: if user's terminal was set to 'application keypad mode' (DEC VTxxx
        nomenclature; set via 2 char "ESC =") and the terminfo or termcap
        entry told the terminal to send 8-bit escape sequences (via 3 char
        "ESC SPC G"), nethack wasn't recognizing number pad keys
curses: change petattr attributes, dropping support for curses-only ones
curses: swap the grey and no-color color initialization
curses+Qt: allow changing default colors with the 'palette' config option
        (only if compiled with CHANGE_COLOR)
curses: if messages have been issued during start-up (for instance, warnings
        about issues in run-time config file), prompt user to press <return>
        so that they can be read before curses erases the screen
curses: when the map was narrower than the space set aside for it, wide popup
        windows could write into the unused space and whatever was written
        there would stick after the popup was removed
documentation: when building plain text Guidebook.txt from Guidebook.mn, avoid
        attempting to use CR font; change doesn't affect building Guidebook.ps
        which utilizes CR to get various instances of fixed-width text
documentation: improve Guidebook *roff formatting and prepare for use of
        future release of groff 1.24.0 (pr #1280 by g-branden-robinson)
macOS: Xcode project was failing to build if the path to the NetHack source
        tree contained a space; the issue was within some shell script code
        contained within the project
MS-DOS: add -DSTATUES_LOOK_LIKE_MONSTERS to Makefile1.cross so the VESA mode
        can display statue glyphs
MS-DOS: sample config file had same MENUCOLOR flaw as Windows (see below)
MS-DOS: implement inverse text attribute
Qt: quit if can't load tiles file instead of continuing and then segfaulting
Qt: [later] tiles load failure at startup now continues using an ascii map
Qt: use more columns for extended command selection dialog so that the number
        of rows needed doesn't result in some commands being unaccessible
Qt: suppress wizard mode commands from '#' handling when not in wizard mode
Qt: organize extended command selection grid by columns instead of by rows
        (first N entries down left column, next N entries down 2nd column, &c)
Qt: when selecting an extended command by typing its name, support <delete>
        (aka <rubout>) in addition to <backspace> to go back a character
Qt: switch to fixed-width font for menus
Qt: don't disable [cancel] button when viewing inventory or other pick-none
        menus; ESC works to dismiss those and [cancel] should be the same
Qt: clicking on the window's Close button brought up a dialog offering
        choices of "Save" and "Cancel"; picking Cancel sent nethack into an
        infinite loop with complaints about Qt's event loop already being
        active; change dialog: offer "Save and exit" or "Quit without saving"
        with no opportunity to try to back out of the Close operation
Qt: add 3.6 status fields Stone, Slime, Strngl, Deaf, Lev, Fly, Ride
Qt: add Attributes, Overview, and Annotate to the "Info" pull down menu
Qt: rename menu entries game->Save to game->Save-and-exit and game->Quit
        to game->Quit-without-saving
Qt: menu commands are now working; commands invoked via M-c were having that
        keystroke changed to '?', bringing up nethack's help menu; now those
        send #abc with just enough letters to disambiguate from other commands
        ("Compilation" is one remaining problem; it yields "#version" which
        brings up '#' menu subset with choices of "version" and "versionshort")
Qt: "paper doll" subset of persistent inventory has undergone several changes:
        show previously missing quiver below weapon instead of duplicating
        gloves there; show secondary weapon in shield slot and blank out
        alternate weapon slot when two-weapon combat is active; show wielded
        two-handed weapon in both the shield and primary weapon slots; show
        first active light source in a previously unused slot on lower right;
        show first leash-in-use in a previously unused slot on lower left
Qt: paper doll inventory view was inconsistently updated during Hallucination
Qt: when hero died, gold on tombstone only included gold in inventory, not
        any additional gold inside carried containers; also, inventory gold
        will be zero if bones get created for all 3.6.x and for 3.4.x+GOLDOBJ
Qt: tombstone showed newly constructed date instead of the value set up at
        time of death; it only shows year but that could be wrong if player
        stared at or ignored prior --More-- for long enough on 31 December
Qt: menu choices All, None, Invert were setting, unsetting, or toggling menu
        entry checkboxes internally but didn't redraw the menu to show that
Qt: fix the F1/F2/Tab macro keys to not require that number_pad be On
Qt: unhighlight highlighted message (last one issued) after player has seen it
Qt: update message window's last message with player's response if it's a
        prompt string for a single-character of input (ynaq or invent letter)
Qt: for line input, display the prompt+response in the message window
Qt: enable the popup_dialog WC option (result is a bit flakey but usable)
Qt: 3.6 catchup - show unexplored locations as unexplored rather than as stone
Qt: tried to honor 'showexp' but the value was unintentionally suppressed by
        [lack of definition for] obsolete conditional EXP_ON_BOTL
Qt: implement --More-- prompt to support MSGTYPE=stop
Qt: for menu search, don't require clicking on the search target popup before
        typing target string (was using typed letters to make menu selections
        if player didn't click on the popup first)
Qt: rest ("Zz") button on the toolbar only worked when 'rest_on_space' was On
        (core issue, not Qt's fault)
Qt: rename toolbar button "Get" and action menu choice "Get" to "Pick up"
Qt: status icons for alignment|hunger|encumbrance which started out centered
        relative to the label text below them would shift to being left
        justified when status got updated
Qt: handle '&' properly if it occurs as part of yn_function popup dialog
Qt: fix the display side of saved game selection; character names for
        available save files are shown in a column of push buttons instead
        of each button overwriting all the ones before it
Qt: don't clobber an existing save file after choosing "new game" in the
        saved game selection widget
Qt: don't get stuck in a loop after choosing "play" while the character name
        field is empty in the character selection widget
Qt: when a new message is issued, pan the message window to its left edge if
        player panned it horizontally then didn't manually scroll it back
Qt: there was no way to enter extended command "#version" by typing; command
        name matching was waiting to disambiguate it from "#versionshort"
        and the only way to that was to type #version<return> but <return>
        explicitly triggered rejection, cancelling '#' processing; #drop vs
        "droptype, "known vs "knownclass, and #takeoff vs #takeoffall are in
        similar ambiguous situation but usually invoked via keystroke
Qt: render all text windows in fixed-width font instead of just ones which
        have one or more lines with four consecutive spaces; some data.base
        entries do have those (usually final attribution) and some don't,
        so display from one entry to another was inconsistent if default
        proportional font was ever used
Qt: while a text window was shown (such as the "things that are here" popup
        when stepping on items), typing commands had the input passed on to
        the map and then executed; sometimes that caused the not-yet-dismissed
        text window to hang
Qt: if player's run-time options specified a tiles file and it couldn't be
        loaded, Qt was falling back to x11tiles just like when the default
        can't be loaded; fallback to player's file plus explicit path instead
Qt: force the 'toptenwin' option On so that high scores display at end of game
        is shown in a text window instead of being written to stdout where it
        might not be seen (note: doesn't apply to 'nethack -s')
Qt: during role/race/&c selection, update role titles with their icons, and
        also Valk eligibility, when gender is toggled
Qt: if a menu of objects contains at least one iron ball, and player is not
        already in the midst of entering a count, recognize '0' as a group
        accelerator rather than the start of a count
Qt: {maybe just Qt+macOS:} when viewing a text window ('V' to look at 'history'
        for instance), clicking on [Search], entering a search target in the
        resulting popup and clicking on [Okay] or typing <return>, the text
        window got pushed underneath the main window so seemed to go away
Qt: use idPressed signal instead of buttonPressed and mappedString instead
        of mapped for recent Qt (pr #913 by chasonr)
Qt: make all NetHack menu and text windows modal
Qt: support Unicode supplementary characters (pr #1047 by chasonr)
Qt: qt_tilewidth and qt_tileheight are allocated with alloc() and need to be
        freed with free(); don't use qt_tilewidth and qt_tileheight after
        they have been freed; instead, retrieve the size from the glyphs
        object (pr #1049 by chasonr)
Qt+macOS: fix control key (fixed all except for ^V); handle ^V as a shortcut
Qt+macOS: rename menu entry "nethack->Preferences..." for invoking nethack's
        'O' command to "Game->Run-time options" and entry "Game->Qt settings"
        for making persistent Qt customizations to "nethack->Preferences..."
Qt+macOS: prevent game->Quit-without-saving from being hijacked for the nethack
        menu by renaming it game->_Quit-without-saving (macOS only)
Qt+macOS: add a separate nethack->Quit menu entry with different functionality;
        Command+Q invokes it
Qt+macOS: since menu entry help->"About Qt NetHack" gets hijacked and becomes
        "nethack->About nethack", add a separate help->_About_Qt_NetHack_
        which stays where intended and brings up the same information
Qt+macOS: suppress unwanted "Search [______]" action from being inserted as the
        first entry in the menubar's "Help" dropdown menu
sound: add a soundlib interface that consists of a specification
        documented in doc/sound.txt; default 'nosound' soundlib implementation
        of the specification in src/sounds.c
sound: added 'macsound' soundlib implementation for use on macOS; the
        interface implementation resides in the objective C file
        sound/macsound/macsound.m; built on top of the built-in AppKit
        NSSound, #import <AppKit/AppKit.h>, linked using -framework AppKit.
sound: added 'windsound' soundlib implementation for use on Windows; the
        interface implementation resides in the file
        sound/windsound/windsound.c; built on top of the win32 api,
        header file mmsystem.h, linked with winmm.
sound: add 'qtsound' soundlib implementation for use on any platform
        with Qt; the interface implementation resides win/Qt/qt_bind.cpp;
        built on top of Qt.
tiles: add indicator of thonged portion to aklys tile
tty: role and race selection menus weren't filtering out potential choices
        which got excluded by OPTIONS=align:!lawful or !neutral or !chaotic
tty: '$' can now select gold in a menu even when it isn't on current page
tty: if a menu used full screen and brought up another menu that wasn't full
        screen, sometimes only a small border of background was drawn around
        it with most of the map left blank until after the menu was dismissed
tty: have <return> dismiss pick-none menus instead of acting like '>' (not
        only wouldn't dismiss when not on last page, wouldn't dismiss at all)
tty: menu search via ':' would clobber part of the menu with a status line
        refresh if the menu was tall enough to cover that
tty: add support for petattr
tty: if a ^C interrupt occurred while DECgraphics characters were being drawn
        on the map, the "Really quit?" prompt would be illegible due to being
        rendered with VT line drawing characters
tty: hide cursor unless waiting for user input; now extended to include tty
        platforms that define NO_TERMS, rather than just on those using
        termcap/terminfo, namely Windows console and msdos (text-mode
        implemented; vga and vesa just have stubs currently)
Unix: when user name is used as default character name, keep hyphenated value
        intact instead stripping off dash and whatever follows as if that
        specified role/race/&c (worked once upon a time; broken since 3.3.0)
Unix: add "ec2-user" to the list of user names 'sysconf' classifies as generic
Unix: work-around a build issue in ubuntu 21.10 by using ifdef to skip the
        define of warn_unused_result to empty string in tradstdc.h whenever
        __linux__ is defined during build unless GCC_URWARN is also defined
Unix: re-do command line parsing
Unix: add ../include/nhlua.h to the alloc.o dependencies in Makefile.utl to
        match Makefile.src
Unix: implement SELF_RECOVER compile-time option, on by default on linux
user_sounds: move the message hook from inside individual window display ports
        to the core where it allows MSGTYP_NOSHOW msgtyp's to still trigger
        sounds to correct a reported github issue; also fixes a past reported
        issue that the curses port on Windows not working with user_sounds
Windows: update for new status condition fields
Windows: include commented-out 'PORTABLE_DEVICE_PATHS' in sysconf.template
Windows: When there was no interesting background in get_bk_glyph()
        in display.c, a default value of GLYPH_UNEXPLORED was returned to
        the caller and then passed on to the interface; the graphical
        Windows version, NetHackW.exe, was trying to use the tile mapped to
        GLYPH_UNEXPLORED as a background tile to merge with the
        foreground tile, so check for GLYPH_UNEXPLORED and bypass that
Windows: fix range error detected by address sanitizer in plselInitDialog()
Windows: the .nethackrc template contained a sample MENUCOLOR pattern for
        "cursed .* (being worn)" which didn't work; parentheses need quotes
X11: substantial overhaul of status display, both 'fancy' and 'tty-style'
X11: extend fancy status one-turn inverse video status-change highlighting to
        hunger, encumbrance, and conditions
X11: stop including unused column 0 in the map
X11: avoid 'bad Atom X Error' when perm_invent is enabled (seemingly window
        manager dependent)
X11: toggling 'perm_invent' off via 'O' didn't dismiss persistent inventory
        window
X11: with 'slow' resource set to False, the pop up yn_function didn't always
        resize properly when re-used
X11: (possibly X11+macOS): if persistent inventory was displayed at time of
        end-of-game prompting, prompting would stall until that window was
        manually dismissed
X11: (possibly X11+macOS): try harder to resize the getlin() prompt, if needed,
        when prompt text changes
X11: set all selectable menu lines to the same length, left justified
X11: initializing the get-extended-command widget modified memory beyond what
        it dynamically allocated


General New Features
--------------------
if a killer bee encounters a lump of royal jelly and there is no queen bee on
        the level, the bee will eat the jelly and become a new queen
automatic annotation "gateway to Moloch's Sanctum" for vibrating square level
        once that square's location becomes known (found or magic mapped);
        goes away once sanctum temple is found (entered or high altar mapped)
savefile: add support to deconstruct internal data structures down into their
        individual fields and save those fields instead of the entire struct
savefile: use little-endian format for fields where that makes a difference
replace build-time level compiler and dungeon compiler with run-time loading of
        the dungeon and level descriptions and interpreting them via Lua
split off some of the functionality that was in makedefs (compiled-in options
        build date/time, etc) so that it can be built by a cross-compiler
        and accessed on the target platform
replace quest.txt and associated conversion to quest.dat via makedefs with
        Lua quest texts loaded at runtime
callback lua functions from core at certain game actions
some altars are displayed in different colors (for tty and curses at least)
add 'quick_farsight' option to provide some control over random clairvoyance
        where pausing to be able to browse temporarily visible aspects of the
        revealed map can seem intrusive; doesn't affect clairvoyance spell

when hallucinating, see hallucinated currencies instead of bits for an ale
when hallucinating, see hallucinated liquids when looking at water or lava
        on the map

wizard mode wishing for level topology can now create hidden doors (ask for
        "secret door" when at a door or wall location), hidden corridor
        spots ("secret corridor" at a corridor location), clouds, walls,
        and (melting) ice
tiny chance for randomly created spellbooks to be Discworld novels instead
        of having only one in the first book or scroll shop created (won't
        occur in hero's initial inventory or NPC priest inventory or be
        bestowed as a prayer boon or be found in statues)
'goldX', 'implicit_uncursed', and 'mention_walls' options changed to be
        persistent across save/restore
wearing a wet towel confers "half damage from poison gas" attribute
for end of game disclosure and dumplog, show 'achievements' (previously only
        available as an encoded value in xlogfile) along with 'conduct'
more grades of self-appearance than beautiful or handsome vs ugly
when 'color' if Off and 'use_inverse' is On, draw ice on the map in inverse
        video if it uses the same character as room floor or as dark floor
new 'mention_decor' option; when On, describe dungeon features being stepped
        on or floated/flown over even when they're not covered by objects
applying royal jelly on an egg kills, revives, or changes the egg
intelligent monsters pick up and rummage through containers
toggling 'travel' option Off now only inhibits travel by mouse click, not by
        '_' command where choosing the destination provides a chance to cancel
different glyphs and symbols for stone and unexplored areas
new glyph GLYPH_NOTHING was added so !dark_room has something to be set to
        now that stone could be mapped to an entirely different symbol
added several new status conditions all of which are opt-in except
        the new cond_grab and cond_lava which are opt-out
tipping your cap might get a response
special levels can be flipped horizontally and/or vertically
new special level initialization routine, "swamp"
demon lords and princes suppress teleporting in Gehennom
for !fixinv option where inventory letters normally don't stick, try to put
        a throw-and-return weapon back into the same inventory slot it gets
        thrown from; only works if it does return and is successfully caught
wizard mode #wizborn command
include more skill information in ^X output when dual-wielding
include monk's to-hit penalty for worn suit in the status section of ^X output
item-using monsters will zap wand of undead turning at corpse-wielding hero
        when the corpse is harmful
boiling a pool or fountain now creates a temporary cloud of steam
random themed rooms in the dungeons of doom
extended achievement and conduct fields for xlogfile

new objects:  amulets of flying and guarding, helm of caution,
        gold dragon scale mail and set of gold dragon scales
new monsters:  displacer beast ('f') and genetic engineer ('Q'), gold dragon
        and baby gold dragon (both 'D')
make camera flash which reveals previously unseen map features or objects or
        monsters record those on the hero's map; monsters revert to 'unseen'
boolean options can optionally have the form "name:value" with value taken
        from among "true", "yes", "on", or 1 and "false", "no", "off", or 0
record number of wishes and artifact wishes in xlogfile
give feedback for '#chat' directed at walls
add 'Sokoban' conduct, tracking the number of times the special Sokoban rules
        which incur luck penalties have been violated; don't report it
        unless/until Sokoban branch has been entered
reduce verbosity when a mind flayer attacks a headless monster; when a
        tentacle-to-head attack hits but fails to accomplish anything skip
        remaining attacks (mind flayer has 3, master mind flayer has 5)
add section marker [] support to run-time config file; CHOOSE section1,section2
        followed by [section1] ... [section2] ... forced all the rest of the
        file to be part of the last section; that still works the same, but []
        can be used to terminate the last section and revert to common options
        for the remainder of the file
render the color names in the corresponding color when using the pick-a-color
        menu for adding status highlights or menu colors via 'O'
reading blessed scroll of teleportation confers one-shot teleport control
mild zombie apocalypse
list lamps and lanterns in charging prompt
let tourists read conical hats
when "?i" (show key bindings) displays commands and their keys, also show
        commands without any key (so ones useable via '#', or possibly menu,
        only; the majority are debugging commands)
assign default key binding for <del> or <delete> to execute #terrain
assign M-X to #exploremode
make #herecmdmenu and #therecmdmenu autocomplete

        it lack horizontal scroll bars so the shifts don't work there)
using 'f' while quiver is empty and 'autoquiver' is Off when wielding a
        thrown-and-return weapon will throw that weapon instead of filling

when sorting vanquished monsters by monster class, treat the Riders as a
        separate class from major demons

        so could be used to blank out scrolls and books
when restoring, show current level's player-applied annotation if there is one
have farlook of a grave report the engraving on the headstone if it's known
the '*' command (list inventory items in use) now shows items in a specific

        secondary or alternate weapon, quiver, suit, cloak, shield, helmet,
        gloves, boots, shirt, lit lamps and candles, leashes attached to pets,

        new perm_invent+perminv_mode==inuse does the same
allow the ')', '[', '(', '=', '"', and '*' commands to be preceded by the 'm'
        prefix to force a menu where the player can pick an item and choose
        a context-sensitive item action for it; some give a menu even without
        the prefix and for those, same item selection and action can be used
hot ground (Gehennom / Plane of Fire) often destroys dropped potions
erinyes overhaul; they now attempt to punish heroes who have violated their
        alignment and get stronger with greater alignment abuse

        full HP, survive with 1 HP
livelog/#chronicle for saving-grace: if saving-grace prevents hero's death,
        report it [at present, it uses the livelog classification for breaking
        a conduct]
enlightenment/attribute disclosure for saving-grace: include a line for have
        or haven't been saved (game in progress) or did or didn't get saved
        (game over) via saving-grace
'selectsaved' lists "name-role-race-gend-algn" instead of just "name" in the
        menu of save files available to be restored
'selectsaved' prefixes "name-role-race-gend-algn" with "- " for normal play,
        "X " for explore mode, or "D " for debug mode if any of the games
        shown in its menu weren't saved during normal play; if they're all
        normal play, the prefix is suppressed
tourists gain experience by "taking photos" of new creatures, and
        going to new dungeon levels
healers gain experience by healing pets
blessed scroll of destroy armor asks which armor to destroy
archeologists' fedora is lucky
telepathic hero can discern which particular monster just read a scroll


Platform- and/or Interface-Specific New Features
------------------------------------------------
user_sounds: provide an experimental mechanism for terminal-side sounds similar
        to the method used for vt_tiledata; new option vt_sounddata that also
        requires compile-time definition of TTY_SOUND_ESCCODES (also requires
        terminal-side code external to NetHack to recognize the sequence and
        act on it)
curses: implement 'selectsaved', restore via menu of saved games
curses: implement selecting menu items via mouse
curses: 'windowborders' can be set to 3 or 4 to suppress perm_invent borders
        to provide slightly more room for actual inventory info
curses: if panictrace is triggered, reset the terminal before giving backtrace
curses: if a message is marked urgent, override message suppression initiated
        by user having typed ESC at previous More>> prompt
curses: implement a dialog for the windowborders option
curses: implement the windowcolors option
Qt: the "paper doll" inventory subset can be controlled via the "Qt Settings"
        dialog box ("Preferences..." on macOS)
Qt: draw a border around each tile in the paper doll inventory; when BUC is
        known for a doll item, change the border's color and thicken it
Qt: letting the mouse hover over the paper doll shows a tool tip describing
        the object--or lack of same--in the slot under the pointer
Qt: clicking on the paper doll runs the #seeall command (inventory of wielded
        and worn items plus tools [lamps, leashes] actively in use; in other
        words, same set of things whose tiles are used to populate the doll)
Qt: clicking on the status window runs the #attributes command (^X)
Qt: add a Search button to the toolbar
Qt: support the 'hitpointbar' option
Qt: add Filter, Layout, and Reset buttons to the extended command selector;
        Filter is only useful in wizard mode, allowing changing the set of
        extended commands between "all", "normal mode only", "extra wizard
        mode only"; Layout redisplays the grid of command buttons, toggling
        from down columns to across rows or vice versa; Reset puts both back
        to their default settings and clears any pending typed input
Qt: [later] augment extended command selection dialog's Filter to add a
        fourth subset, those commands which autocomplete when typed for tty,
        typically commands with no keystroke or only meta character keystroke;
        that makes Filter useful in normal mode (much shorter list of choices)
Qt: add '#' as "Extended-commands" to the 'game' dropdown menu
Qt: add tool tips to the extended command selector's buttons to show command
        descriptions
Qt: add tool tips to the icons shown in the status window
Qt: to play user sounds with volume, replace QSound with QSoundEffect; also
        restores user sound support for Qt6
tiles: male and female variations in monsters.txt; tested only with tile2bmp
        conversion utility so far; also supported by tilemap utility to
        generate tile.c
tty: use bright colors directly on supporting terminals
tty: if a message is marked urgent, override message suppression initiated
        by user having typed ESC at previous --More-- prompt
Unix: can define NOSUSPEND in config.h or src/Makefile's CFLAGS to prevent
        unixconf.h from enabling SUSPEND without need to modify unixconf.h
Unix: support --nethackrc=filename on the command line; same effect as
        NETHACKOPTIONS='@filename' but leaves NETHACKOPTIONS available for
        specifying options; --no-nethackrc is same as --nethackrc=/dev/null
Windows: implement MSGHANDLER (pr #749 by argrath)
Windows: Add configuration to support Curses on WinGUI (pr #1028 by chasonr) 
X11: implement 'selectsaved', restore via menu of saved games
X11: echo getline prompt and response (wishes, applying names) to message
        window and dumplog message history
X11: fix map expose area, no longer leaving black bars on the map
tty and curses: support italic as text attribute
tty and curses: when hitpointbar is displayed, make it blink if current HP is
        below the "critical HP" threshold (where prayer treats being injured
        as major trouble)

mark various pointers to const char as const pointers (pr #624 by argrath)
function fill_special_room() in sp_lev.c was dereferencing a pointer

        argument prior to a subsequent check for a NULL pointer that

        files after fix for 3.3.0 through 3.6.0 bug for invalid 'bonesid'
        designation in bones of quest levels
add an additional note to mextra.h and obj.h comments that reminds people to
        appropriately init new fields if they need to initialize to something
        other than zero
rework stairs structure into a linked list
move 'restoring' to the program_state struct; add corresponding 'saving';
        both used to enforce no updating of status lines or of persistent
        inventory when the relevant activity is in progress
unify special attack damages from separate you-hit-monster, monster-hits-you,
        and monster-hits-monster into functions by damage type
unify trap effects for hero and monster stepping on the trap by trap type
replace the single permonst mname field with male, female, and gender-neutral
        names pmnames[NUM_MGENDERS] fields
adjust window port interface to pass a pointer to a glyph_info struct which
        contains the glyph itself, the ttychar, the color, the glyphflags,
        and the symset index; this affects two window port calls that get
        passed glyphs: print_glyph() and add_menu().
switch from k&r C to C99
remove the game-compile dependencies on any pre-generated header files
date.h dependency and inclusion is removed and comparable functionality is
        produced at runtime; REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD capability will need to be
        reviewed and adjusted
pm.h dependency and inclusion is removed and comparable functionality is
        produced by moving the monster definitions from monst.c into new header
        file called monsters.h, then taking advantage of the C preprocessor to
        generate appropriate enum values during compile
onames.h dependency and inclusion is removed and comparable functionality is
        produced by moving object definitions from objects.c into new header
        file called objects.h, then taking advantage of the C preprocessor to
        generate appropriate enum values during compile
artilist.h is used to generate appropriate artifact enum values by the C
        preprocessor during compile
remove requirement of object probabilities adding to 1000
delete obsolete variable 'g.monstermoves' (copperwater pull request #579)
expand glyphs to map wall styles that can vary between main, mines, gehennom,
        knox and sokoban; tile interfaces were already doing that on the fly
        by swapping several tiles in and out on those levels
expand glyphs to map altars that can vary between unaligned, chaotic,
        neutral, lawful and other; tty was already doing that on the fly
        per map cell via display code
explosion types are mapped and can vary between dark, noxious, muddy, wet,
        magical, fiery and frosty; tile interfaces already had unique tiles
        for each and tty was altering the color on the fly via per map cell
        via display code
expand glyphs to uniquely represent things that are at the top of a pile of
        objects (piletops); some window ports were already doing that on the
        fly via a glyphmap flag, but NetHack itself had no awareness beyond
        setting the glyphmap flag within the display code
expand glyphs to uniquely represent male and female variations of monsters,
        pets, ridden monsters, detected monsters and the statues of monsters;
        tile interfaces were already mapping them uniquely via a glyphmap flag
        and mapping to separate tiles within the window port code, but NetHack
        itself had very little awareness beyond setting the glyphmap flag
        within the display code
added glyph_to_body_corpsenm(glyph) and glyph_to_statue_corpsenm(glyph)
        macros to display.h for use by pager.c; the game core code is better
        off using such display macros/functions for all glyph_to_* mappings
        that are needed, rather than resorting to direct references of glyph
        offsets that could change as the set of glyphs expands or gets adjusted
map_glyphinfo() now simply references an internal array that maps each unique
        glyph to a color, a ttychar, or a tile, also to a set of glyphflags
        that confirm some unique characteristics of that glyph; the glyph
        mappings are set at game init/restore after config file processing, and
        are reset upon level change, or when some game options are adjusted
        in-game that could have an impact on the mappings, but they remain
        stable between those events
added MG_MALE glyphflag to complement the MG_FEMALE glyphflag that was there
remove obsolete roles[].femalenum and rename roles[].malenum to roles[].mnum;
        likewise for races[]
add git submodule support to the Makefiles by specifying git=1 or GIT=1 on the
        make command
add TT_NONE==0, renumber other u.utraptype values so that TT_BEARTRAP isn't 0
for Planes of Water and Air, save the air bubbles and clouds with the level
        rather than as game state; affects wizard mode ^V and #wizmakemap
switch to a flags arg on newcham() in place of the pair of boolean args
replace some old 'time_t' hackery in system.h and hacklib.c with something
        less obtrusive in unixconf.h
remove the per dungeon level door limit
remove various '#if LINT' hacks used to suppress warnings from pre-ANSI 'lint'
VMS: removed NO_VSNPRINTF conditional code
remove the window port get_menu_coloring() calls from all the existing window
        ports, and implement the functionality on the core-side of the
        interface prior to calling the window port's foo_add_menu() function
remove TEXTCOLOR build option
relocate general-purpose function choose_classes_menu(), from
        options.c to windows.c
remove register from variable declarations
make glyph_to_cmap() a function instead of a macro
