It's just a one-liner, although it has pointed out problems in the
symbol lookup code. "0" won't work at present, so this doesn't use it,
but warning symbols "1" through "5" also have trouble--regardless of
hallucination--if someone overloads them to represent any feature aside
from warning.
1) Update documentation for using bison/flex
2) Fix use of $(CC). In the makefile, it's supposed to be $(cc).
Otherwise it won't compile. [caused during recent dependency
updates]
'+' is not a valid argument to resist(), although it still works
since the default case catches it. Make the spell class explicit,
although I don't think having the effectiveness of scrolls of confuse
monster depend on the character's level makes much sense.
The CE ports use makedefs hosted on another platform,
so the version string generated at build time isn't really
appropriate.
Add a way to add information to the version string
at runtime for such ports.
Reported last spring and again last week: monsters who teleport to
your location (named demons, master liches, and so forth) continue to do
that even if they've just used a scroll or wand of teleportation to get
away from you. This doesn't prevent that situation but does make it be
much less likely to occur.
The previous changed ended up discarding the begining portion of
excessively long lines and keeping the end. It's unlikely that either
part is going to be valid, but reporting the ending portion as a failed
wish would make tracking down and fixing the situation trickier.

The "following" flag could get set in several places where it was not
obvious that the customer name would be remembered. Since the shopkeeper
should always get angry at the current player, set the name at the same
place that the flag is set.
Make wielding Werebane confer defense against catching lychanthropy
from monster bites. It doesn't protect against catching that from eating
lycanthrope corpses and might blast the character if wielded at such time.
Also fix artifact handling to recognize the character as lycanthrope
while in normal human/elf/whatever form--rather than only when in beast
form--just like it does for monsters.
Treat strangling a pet with a cursed leash like a regular monster
kill; you'll get experience, lose pacifism conduct, and suffer various
pet-killer effects. Also do some minor damage and reduce tameness for
the case where the pet is described as being choked but isn't killed.

5 days, no objections to proposed code change.
While an object is being thrown, it isn't on any list. This means that
killing a shopkeeper with an unpaid object wouldn't be able to clear the
unpaid bit. By the time the object lands, the shopkeeper is gone, and then
it's too late. Added a new global to track a thrown object, set it and later
clear it in throwit(), also clear it as needed in dealloc_obj(), and check
it in setpaid(). It should be possible to use this global to avoid losing
thrown objects during hangup saves as well. But that can wait.
<Someone> reported to the list that steeds didn't remember traps
encountered while mounted. When not mounted, a monster will remember
traps, even when they don't damage the monster. To that end, added code to
set the steed's mtrapseen mask.
mention msg_window in the Guidebook and long online help. I didn't update
hh since that only has one-liners. Also made the msg_window default clear
in the Guidebook and opthelp. Plus, an update to Guidebook.txt in hopes
that it won't need another before release.
