This was done using the CVS log listings to preserve
the chronological order that patches were distributed,
rather than just cut and paste from one to the other.
This marks the abandonment of updates for fixes34.4.

64-bit linker had a number of warnings that the 32-bit linker did not.
It turned out to be because the 64-bit compiler is more picky about
declaring DLL exports 2-different ways, even if they are essentially
the same. The 32-bit linkder didn't complain. It is described here:

The dungeon_overview bits in the rm structure were being
clobbered by a run-length encoding save/restore because
they weren't taken into consideration.
This patch pulls that data out of the rm structure completely.
It also adjusts the run-length encoding checks to take the
candig bit into consideration and adds a comment to rm.h
reminding people to make run-length encoding adjustments
in save.c for any new bits that get added.
The changes did not apply to the main trunk as easily as I wouuld have
hoped, so I attempted a number of manual applications. I hope <Someone>
can tell me if there is a problem.
Changelist:
- bugfix: help text windows close immediately after open (unhandled WM_KEYDOWN in mhtext.c)
- bugfix: action button uses hero coordinates instead of cursor position
- pocketpc: bugfix: menu window closes on up/down keys from first/last position
- smartphone: do not translate input when command helper is hidden (fixes Motorola Q keyboard bug)
- smartphone: new keypad layouts
- smartphone: wizard mode command layout
- smartphone: option to feed arbitrary text as a command to nethack core
- wrap/unwrap text option for text windows
- hardware keyboard detection
- hide keypad when hardware keyboard is present
- backport message window highlighting from winnt port
- new icon with recommended image sizes
From a bug report:
The following steps do not yield the expected fruit:
1) start nethack in explore mode (with a wand of wishing)
2) change fruit name to "tomato"
3) save/restore
4) change fruit name back to "slime mold"
5) save/restore
6) wish for a fruit; you get a tomato
7) check options; fruit name is set to "slime mold"
If you specified a fruit name that already existed in the list,
fruitadd() always set current_fruit to the fruit with
the highest fid encountered in the list to that point, instead
of the fid of the matching entry.

The code in initoptions_init() that uses opts seems to now be isolated to
UNIX and VMS.
There was an issue reported where save files between different
versions of a manufacturer's compiler were incompatible because the time_t
ubirthday field was changed from 32 bits to 64 bits.
32 bit time_t implementations will break at 19:14:07 on January 18, 2038.
64 bit time_t implementations will break at 23:59:59 on December 31, 3000.
This removes the dependency on the size of time_t from the save file.
The ubirthday field is no longer embedded in struct you.
This also adds two general purpose routines to hacklib.c, one to convert a time
value to a 14 character char representation and the other to convert that
back to time_t. Those are used by the save/restore routines.
This is a savefile breaking change, so editlevel in patchlevel.h was
incremented.

- force time_t to be 32 bits via Makefile. (If struct u gets changed to not
store a time_t field, this can be removed).
- Latest Windows SDK (supporting Vista) causes a warning due to
a prototype in sys/winnt/nttty. Since we don't actually link with that
function and rely on a DLL find procedure at run time, comment out
the prototype. The function is now officially in the SDK in the
windows header files anyway.

This patch attempts to add some levels of unicode support
to NetHack.
The master on/off switch for any Unicode support is
defining UNICODE_SUPPORT in config.h. Currently
there is code support for two subsets of unicode support:
UNICODE_DRAWING
If UNICODE_DRAWING is defined, then the data
structures used to house drawing symbols are expanded
to the size of wchar_t, big enough to hold unicode characters.
A typdef called `nhsym' is involved and if UNICODE_DRAWING
is defined, it is wchar_t, otherwise it is uchar.
UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
If UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT is defined, then the data
structures inside the window port are expanded to the size of
wchar_t, big enough to hold unicode characters. Both map
symbols and text within the window port are expanded, in order
for potential support for displaying multinational characters some
day, but this patch only provides viewing of map symbols.
A typdef called `nhwchar' is involved and if UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
is defined, it is wchar_t, otherwise it is char.
The only window port with code support for UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
currently is the TTY port. Don't enable UNICODE_WIDEWINPORT
unless:
- it is a TTY port
- the underlying platform specific routines can
handle the larger data structures.
Don't enable UNICODE_SUPPORT unless:
- your compiler can handle wchar_t.
- your compiler can accept L'a' characters.
- your compiler can accept L"wide" strings.
Note that if your compiler can handle the above, you could
enable the larger data structures (currently if TTY) even if your
platform can't actually display unicode or UTF-8, by messing
with u_putch() in win/tty/wintty.c to only deal regular chars.
That should be the only function that actually pushes wide characters
out to the display.
If you enable UNICODE_SUPPORT, and your platform is capable
you will need to turn on the unicode run-time option to be able to
load unicode character sets from the symbol file, to be able to
push unicode characters to the display. You'll also want to load
a unicode symbol set once the unicode option is toggled on. In
a config file you would do that via these two lines:
OPTIONS=unicode
OPTIONS=symset:Unicode_non_US

Add putmixed() to the window port. It allows map symbols to
be included in the string by encoding them in a unique fashion.
This was done because Unicode symbols, for instance, could be
longer than the size of a char.
The encoding of the map symbols in this patch is done by
prefixing a glyph value with \GXXXX, where XXXX is a
random value for the current game. The reason for the random
prefix is to minimize the possibility that a player can trigger
the escape sequence processing within text under their control
(dog names, etc.) the way they could if the sequence was fixed
in the source code. The random prefix remains the same throughout
the lifetime of a game because message window strings are
saved in the save file.
(There was actually a bug present because of the embedded
character even before the recent symbol changes, because if
someone was using a different set of characters between games,
the saved messages would reflect the original characters, rather
than the current. That bug was introduced with the ability to
save messages to the savefile.)
A window port does not have to supply an XXX_putmixed() routine,
it can use genl_putmixed() which uses the old behavior of
embedding the sequence as a character within the string
and calling putstr(). genl_putmixed() takes care of the decoding
of the escape sequence.
This also #ifdef's out code in pager.c for converting a glyph
to a character, and uses mapglyph() to do that instead. Does
anyone see a problem with doing that through mapglyph instead
of repeating similar code within pager.c?
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 palette option is supposed to be allowed in the config file
without a value for win32 to trigger a load of a predefined
NetHack palette, but that wasn't working.
This fixes that. To prevent the use of any palette modification
code at all, just leave the palette option out of the config
file entirely.

Clean up the preprocessing associated with the
loadable symbol stuff.
Base it on new LOADSYMSETS, rather than on the
previously existing ASCIIGRAPH preprocessor define.

- reduce the number of symbol tables for each graphics
set {PRIMARY, ROGUESET} from three {map, oc, mon}
tables for each of the display symbols, the loadable symbols,
and the rogue symbols, to one continguous table for
each:
showsyms: the current display symbols
l_syms: the loaded, alterable symbols
r_syms: the rogue symbols
- Modify mapglyph so that the index into the symbolt table is
available as a return value (it was a void function), rather than
just the char converted from the glyph.
- That makes it possible for a window port to use the same
index value to extract from another table (perhaps a unicode
table) for a different set of display symbols. The index
is much more useful than trying to convert the character
into another type of symbol, as some contributed patches
have done.
- It is much easier to load a single alternative flat table to
make substitutions, since the corresponding value just
has to get placed into the same index offset in the
alternative table.
This also fixes a bug I found in botl.c, where you could
go to the rogue level, and the bottom line gold symbol
was not being updated with the new character as it should.
The reason was because the gold value had not changed,
only the field symbol used had changed.
This updates multiple ports to place a (void) cast on
the mapglyph call, now that it returns a value, so this
is going to generate a lot of diff e-mails.

This takes the PC config file commented symbol value
recommendations from <Someone> for blind players
and puts them into a symset.
[note to devteam: They look odd. I thought perhaps that
something was code wrong, but I went back to 3.4.3
and uncommented the config file stuff. They look the
same there, still odd, especially corridors.
Does anyone have any of the e-mail from <Someone> that might give an indication of what is supposed
to be seen on the display? I wonder if those config
file options fell out of synch with the code long ago]
- Instead of checking for the Rogue level, check which
graphics are engaged (PRIMARY or ROGUESET) in the
SYMHANDLING() macro.
- track which graphics are active through 'currentgraphics'.
- Instead of symset and roguesymset and symhandling and roguehandling
variables, have symset and symhandling be arrays of two, with the
following indexes:
PRIMARY
ROGUESET
That reduced the amount of repeated code.
(Not to be confused with the 'symset' and 'roguesymset' config file options
both of which still exist)
- the symbol routines were adjusted to pass
the index , rather than 'rogueflag' and coding to roguesymset etc.
Other than fixing bugs that are encountered, this is probably
the last of the symbol stuff, with the exception of
making the symset and roguesymset config file options
accept the keyword value "default".
This is an overhaul to the NetHack drawing mechanism.
- eliminates the need to have separate lists in drawing.c
for the things and their associated explanations by grouping
those thing together on the same inializer in a struct.
- replaces all of these options: IBMgraphics, DECgraphics, MACgraphics,
graphics, monsters, objects, boulder, traps, effects
- drawing.c contains only the set of NetHack standard symbols for
the main game and a set of NetHack standard symbols for the
roguelevel.
- introduces a symbols file that contains named sets of
symbols that can be loaded at run time making it extensible
for situations like multinational code pages like those reported
by <Someone>, without hardcoding additional sets into the game code.
- symbols file uses names for the symbols, so offsets will not break
when new things are introduced into the game, the way the older
config file uchar load routines did.
- symbols file only contains exceptions to the standard NetHack
set, not entire sets so they are much less verbose than all of
the g_FILLER() entries that were previously in drawing.c
- 'symset' and 'roguesymset' config file options for
preselecting a symbol set from the file called 'symbols'
at startup time. The name of the symbols file is not under the
users control, only the symbol set name desired from within the
symbols file is.
- 'symset' config file option loads a desired symbol set for
everything but the rogue level.
- 'roguesymset' config file option loads a desired symbol set
for the rogue level.
- 'SYMBOLS' config file option allows the user to specify replacement
symbols on a per symbol basis. You can specify as many or as few symbols
as you wish. The symbols are identified by a name:value pair, and line
continuation is supported. Multiple symbol assignments can be made on
the same line if each name:value pair is separated by a comma.
For example:
SYMBOLS = S_bars:\xf0, S_tree: \xf1, S_room:\xfa \
S_fountain:\xf4 \
S_boulder:0
- 'symbols' file has the following structure:
start: DECgraphics
Handling: DEC
S_vwall: \xf8 # meta-x, vertical rule
S_hwall: \xf1 # meta-q, horizontal rule
finish
start: IBMgraphics
Handling: IBM
S_vwall: \xb3 # meta-3, vertical rule
S_hwall: \xc4 # meta-D, horizontal rule
finish
- 'symbols' file added to the source tree in the dat directory
- Port Makefiles/scripts will need to be adjusted to move them into
HACKDIR destination
I don't know if this was introduced post 3.4.3 or not, but the
DOS port was doing a chdir at the start, but not doing one
at the finish of the game, so you ended up in the same
directory as the NetHack.exe executable post-game.
It was doing the chdir even if NOCWD_ASSUMPTIONS was
defined.

The thrown potion of oil, which was extracted from any chain
during the throw, still had its timers attached when the call to
splatter_burning_oil() was made. If that killed the hero, a
panic would result during bones file creation (saving timers)
because (obj->where == OBJ_FREE) on the potion.
Remove the timer prior to splattering the oil inside.
