Bugs fixed<\/h1>\n
    \n
  1. Sticky flame now negates invisibility.<\/li>\n
  2. Slouch no longer damages the immobile (statues, toadstools) or sleeping or paralyzed\/petrified monsters.<\/li>\n
  3. Mummies and ghouls can now properly wield vampiric weapons.<\/li>\n
  4. Mimics should no longer cause crashes, caused by various reasons.<\/li>\n
  5. Merfolk no longer have superfluous cold and poison resistance.<\/li>\n
  6. Power-of-two issue with tile loading was fixed, preventing swapping of R and B.<\/li>\n
  7. Random vaults now spawn in Pandemonium once more.<\/li>\n
  8. Known items listing should now sort properly.<\/li>\n
  9. The player is now credited for reflected (caused by shield of reflection) kills.<\/li>\n
  10. Summoned ghosts and uniques are now properly dealt with, with regards to milestones and tracked kills.<\/li>\n
  11. Beams are no longer drawn on top of the caster, and cloud spells can be cast while on the same tile as a toadstool (for Fedhas worshipers).<\/li>\n
  12. Monsters which start as BLACK now use the proper colour during the Misled status effect.<\/li>\n
  13. Monster kills should now be credited properly during the Misled status effect; this prevents “shot with an orcish bolt by a yellow wasp”, and similar death messages.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    New and changed features<\/h1>\n
      \n
    1. New monster tiles: Khufu, Nikola.<\/li>\n

    6. Tile improvements: Kirke, shaft tile.<\/li>\n
    7. New unique rakshasa: Mara, Lord of Illusions.<\/li>\n
    8. New spell and status effect: Mislead. Grants the Misled status to the player, and causes monsters to appear as other glyphs, names, and tiles.<\/li>\n
    9. Elyvilon no longer abhors butchery during prayer.<\/li>\n
    10. The memorisation screen can now be accessed, even if you do not have the experience levels or spell levels necessary to learn any spells.<\/li>\n
    11. Auto-explore’s killing of toadstools no longer causes “Really attack with your +0 bow?” prompts, and obeys attack-preventing inscriptions.<\/li>\n
    12. New tiles for various armed statues, Crazy Yiuf’s tile now display his wielded weapon.<\/li>\n
    13. Rods now identify upon wielding.<\/li>\n
    14. Agnes now appears from 12-18.<\/li>\n
    15. Labyrinth vaults have been randomized slightly.<\/li>\n
    16. Three new Vaults:8 subvaults were added.<\/li>\n
    17. Steel ammo is now rarer before D:10.<\/li>\n
    18. Queen bees are now yellow ‘k’.<\/li>\n
    19. Killer bees are now brown ‘k’.<\/li>\n
    20. Queen ants are now light-red ‘a’.<\/li>\n
    21. Minotaurs are now light-red ‘H’.<\/li>\n
    22. Trapdoor spiders are now light-cyan ‘s’.<\/li>\n
    23. Wolf spiders are now white ‘s’.<\/li>\n
    24. Giant cockroaches are now brown ‘s’.<\/li>\n
    25. Berserk monsters now ignore dangerous clouds.<\/li>\n

      Other<\/h1>\n
        \n
      1. Vaults can now specify custom tile sets for doors and gateways.<\/li>\n
      2. The “no_wall_fixup” can now be applied using the KMASK specifier in vaults.<\/li>\n
      3. Further tweaks to Xom’s tension and XP cap on activity.<\/li>\n
      4. Tiles can now be recoloured dynamically.<\/li>\n
      5. Unique placement levels were increased, hopefully increasing the visibility of uniques in the early dungeon.<\/li>\n
      6. A start at a spells library for lua: rudimentary wrappers for Ozocubu’s Refrigeration and Olgreb’s Toxic Radiance.<\/li>\n
      7. The prebuilt level compiler files have been updated; this should prevent issues where ‘TILE:’ specifiers were causing unknown character errors for systems that do not have flex and bison installed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
