Be able to carry out uplifts during minor release
lifetimes.
Document a way to be able to uplift struct content
without incrementing EDITLEVEL and breaking existing savefiles.
Use the mechanics outlined to uplift the contents instead, where
it is feasible to do so. The uplift is currently one-way only. An
uplifted savefile cannot be used with an earlier build of NetHack
, one built with a lower SAVEFILE_REVISION_LEVEL, than the one which
wrote the savefile.
The final byte (byte 79) of the 80 critical bytes in the savefile,
of which 10 are reserved for future expansion and not currently
used, will now be used for holding the savefile revision level
(SAVEFILE_REVISION_LEVEL in include/patchlevel.h) at the time
the savefile was written.
That leaves 9 of the bytes available for future use.
remove the safeproc pseudo-windowport routines from
almost a decade ago.
A very early pass is made through the config file,
seeking out just the interface-related OPTIONS=windowport
and OPTIONS=soundlib and ignoring all other options in the
config file during that early pass, so the windowport
can be activated without the NetHack core initialization
in place that some of the other rcfile OPTIONS require.
Bundles the existing rcfile processing code into rcfile().
New functions to control which rcfile options will be
disregarded in the early config file pass, and which will be
processed:
set_all_options_disregarded();
set_all_options_heeded();
disregard_this_option(opt_xx);
heed_this_option(opt_xx);
Windows calls rcfile_interface_options(), which is
a bundling of a series of function calls to achieve
the desired result.
void
rcfile_interface_options(void)
{
allopt_array_init();
set_all_options_disregarded();
heed_this_option(opt_windowtype);
heed_this_option(opt_soundlib);
rcfile();
set_all_options_heeded();
disregard_this_option(opt_windowtype);
disregard_this_option(opt_soundlib);

Move the monster spell definitions there, and use hackery
(similar to objects.h) to generate enum and data from
the header file.
I have not tested Windows, VMS, or Amiga builds.
