I was thinking about iflags rather than context and didn't realize
that the change to maxinum number of passages would breal save files.
Put the tribute context back to 3.6.0 size.
Anyone who grabbed from public git yesterday is potentially in for
some temporary trouble. That's the risk they take for trying to stay
on the bleeding edge.
Death Quotes have reached the current limit of 30 passages per 'book'.
Instead of increasing that, change the selection code to be able to
operate on a subset (dropped from 30 down to 20) at a time while
keeping the excess available for later selection.
Chatting with Death (more than 20 times since he also delivers non-
tribute messages) should cycle through 20 of his 30 passages without
repeating. After that, another subset of 20 out of the 30 will be
chosen, independent of the first set so might contain all, some, or
none of the 10 that left out before.
When reading a novel, select a random passage which hasn't been shown
already. Once you've run through all the passages, it resets to get
them all again (with new random order that might happen to the be same
order if there aren't many passages). Switching to a different novel--
even another copy of the same one--will cause the previous passage
selection to be discarded and restarted from scratch if the prior book
is read again. Passage tracking for the most recently read novel is
kept across save and restore. (That means I needed to bump EDITLEVEL,
so it will need to be reset to 0 again before release.)
Replace the code that Dean objected to with something a little bit more
robust. It doesn't rely on the two stacks being adjacent or having the
same inventory letter. It is still vulnerable to having another
splitobj() occur between the offending split and its attempted unsplit,
or to either of the two halves of a split being extracted from their
object chain. As before, failure to unsplit only results in the two
halves of the split remaining separate stacks, not anything more drastic
like the panic() that prompted all this.
Simplification of hallucinated currency names got mixed in with this
patch. I haven't bothered separating it back out.
Whoever reset PATCHLEVEL to 0 jumped the gun. This patch increments it
since change to the 'context' structure breaks save file compatibility,
so it will need to undergo another reset before release.

Add a couple more tribute easter eggs.
- can lead to a remark by Death if you happen to have a pratchett book on
your person, as suggested by M. Stephenson (fat chance you will, or
think to #chat if you do, but it could be a tournament novelty or something
obscure to strive for).
- can draw some additional Death quotes from the tribute file. (There's two
in there right now. If anyone wants to add or suggest some more, please go
ahead. The Death quotes are at the end of the tribute file. One-liners
only please or the code will only pull the last line.
I did my best to exempt some of the bigger aligned blocks from the reformatting
using the /* clang-format off */ and /* clang-format on */ tags. Probably some
that shouldn't have been formatted were anyway; if you encounter them, please
fix.
The clang-format tags were left in on the basis that it's much easier to prune
those out later than to put them back in, and it means that, modulo my custom
version of clang-format, I should be able to run clang-format on the source tree
again without changing anything, now that Pat has fixed the VA_DECL issues.
Pat noted that I neglected to drop the SCCS lines on the files I've been
committing, so clean up those and any others I could find where the SCCS
line date is out of date.
I almost abandoned this when Michael beat me to it, but besides
handling the fruit rename bug it also moves `current_fruit' into the
context structure to eliminate separate save/restore for that.
There is a quote in data.base for squeaky board traps:
A floorboard creaked. Galder had spent many hours tuning them,
always a wise precaution with an ambitious assistant who walked
like a cat.
D flat. That meant he was just to the right of the door.
"Ah, Trymon," he said, without turning, and noted with some
satisfaction the faint indrawing of breath behind him. "Good
of you to come. Shut the door, will you?"
[ The Light Fantastic, by Terry Pratchett ]
This patch makes each squeaky board trap on a level produce
a unique sound. If you had visited the trap yourself prior
to hearing a monster on it, you could actually know where
a monster was by the unique pitch of the squeak.
If someone wants further refinement of the roles, this could
be adjusted to only work for musically adept roles/species,
with the others only hearing a generic squeak. As it stands
right now, everyone benefits. Does anyone thing the
separation by role or species would be good? If so, which
roles/species are musically proficient, and which are not?
Since this patch increments editlevel anyway, it also sneaks in a
context structure change for an upcoming patch.
The in_lava_effects flag should never be saved and restored; putting
it into the context struct was a mistake. Move it to the iflags struct
(where the branch code already has it). I haven't bumped the EDITLEVEL
setting. Save and bones files from more that a few days ago were breifly
invalid but should be viable again. Save and bones files from the past
couple of days are now no good; sorry about that.
While testing some killer_xname() changes, I noticed that it was
feasible to avoid having some gear destroyed by causing a hangup after
getting the destruction message. And while testing the fix for that, I
stumbled across a panic situation (not caused by my changes). If you
survive entering lava while wearing water walking boots (and aren't fire
resistant yourself, and don't have enough hit points to survive 6d6
damage, and your boots aren't fireproofed...), having those boots be
destroyed will dump you back into the same lava recursively (lava_effects
-> Boots_off -> spoteffects -> lava_effects). And if you survive that
(wizard/explore mode or life-saving), there will be a panic when finishing
deletion of the boots (useupall) because the recursive call will have
already done it (since they aren't worn anymore when inner call handles
them, no additional recursion gets triggered and object deletion happens).
Some of the other stuff I was working on is mixed in here because
this is the configuration I ended up using to test the panic fix.
Several Makefiles are missing the dependency for context.h (post-3.4.3
revision). If yours is, then you'll need to force a full rebuild after
applying this or you'll end up with havoc. (Mine was, but I noticed that
the expected full build wasn't happening and interrupted it to fix that.)

This does not break save and bones compatibility in the 3.4.x branch,
it changes the code, but leaves the obsolete fields in flags.
This patch increments editlevel making existing save and bones files useless.
Add polywarn() code to grant the ability to detect certain monster
types while polymorphed into other specific monster types.
If you polymorph into a vampire or vampire lord, you are able to
sense humans.
And just for fun, if you polymorph into a purple worm, you are able to
sense shriekers :-)
Move the counter for the next attribute check to the context
structure.
This increments patchlevel so previous save and bones
files are unuseable after applying.

To that end...
- add a context (iflags in 3.4.3 to maintain savefile compat) flag to
differenciate the first travel step from later steps, to allow the
detection of the final sentence, above.
- several changes to set/reset the travel1 flag as needed
- add code to findtravelpath to treat the first step specially if it's
the only step, allowing forced travel into a "bad" location
- correct the "don't travel over traps" code, which was getting confused
because hero's starting location was being avoided
- add code to avoid traveling into water and lava, duplicating
checks used for non-travel running
- fix some strange "guess" travel behavior: avoid zigzag paths when there's
a more direct path (even though the number of moves is the same)
- trunk change adds a new DISP_ALL tmp_at type, and uses it in some debug
code for travel, debug changes not added to the 3.4.3 branch
