Reported to the newsgroup, the code in study_book for the effect of
confusion on studying a book was never reached. The study_book code
didn't completely handle continuing to read a book when you got confused
after getting interrupted.

Do vision_recalc immediately when blasting a door so that all the
subsequent messages for the same blast hitting other things are all
evaluated with the same vision in effect.
The link is no longer valid. I found another
link, http://tultw.com/bios/latin.htm
but this doesn't seem like something we
want to direct maintenance effort towards.
So this removes the link altogether.

- when testing travel locations, don't treat diagonal moves thru closed
doors as possible, unless player can go/dig thru door
- treat closed doors and boulders as expensive for travel, preferring open paths
It turns out that the processentry32 structure contents
are slightly different on 2000/XP than they are on
95/98/Me according to the docs.
szExeFile
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name
of the executable file for the process.
Windows 2000/XP: The file name does not include the path.
Windows 95/98/Me: The file name includes the path.
Ensure that we check for the target values at the end of
the string.

# ifdef WIN32
#define SAVESIZE (PL_NSIZ + 40) /* username-player.NetHack-saved-game */
files.c had:
# if defined(WIN32)
#define SAVESIZE (PL_NSIZ + 60) /* username-player.NetHack-saved-game */
It has to be 40 for savefile compatibility with 3.4.0.
From a bug report, a rolling boulder
trap could report that the boulder had fallen into the pit with you
and then let it keep rolling. flooreffects() only returns true
when it uses up the object being manipulated but it doesn't use up
boulders that hit pits which hold monsters or the hero. Its caller
needs to handle the cases where the boulder ends up sharing the pit
with a monster.
makedefs has been listing TIMED_DELAY as one of the options which
affects save file contents even though that hasn't been the case for
a long time. Unfortunately, simply fixing that by itself would break
save file compatibility for anyone who has been building with it set.
This workaround prevents the fix from doing that. And now folks can
rebuild after toggling TIMED_DELAY without unnecessarily invalidating
save and bones files.
<Someone> of the PC window group noticed that lootabc & showrace were documented
twice and travel was documented in the wrong section. Also, a couple
default syntax bits.

When I am polymorphed into a purple worm (didn't check other forms)
and bite a green slime I turn to stone (not slime).
three new features for the message window we discussed:
- Graying out lines that are old -- slightly cleaner than <Someone>'s version.
- Message concatenation.
- --More-- prompt if there are more messages this turn than fit in the
window.
As a by-product of these changes, some other things have changed, too:
- The message lines array is now used in a round-robin way, i.e. the
messages are no longer copied one line up when adding a new message.
- clear_nhwindow no longer redraws the window, which significantly
reduces screen flicker.
- A caret bug was fixed.
- The last line is no longer highlighted, as this seems unnecessary
since the most recent messages are in a different colour
- A bug was fixed that caused two lines too many to be drawn on each
paint.
Clear the uundetected status during level changes in case
the character was hiding under something immediately prior to the
change. Don't set hidden status at the destination even when
there's something to hide under--it'll take a turn to hide again.
