any existing vampire shape-shifted into critter (fog cloud, bat, wolf) became

unlike in previous versions, an uncursed scroll of enchant armor failed to

	to be dipped

wrong message given when high priest on astral plane rejects being assigned a

eating tainted black pudding (glob in 3.6.0, corpse in 3.4.x and 3.3.x)

	dungeon but ended up arriving on Plane of Earth
monster hitting fire-dealing monster with weapon triggered passive damage to
	weapon every time, when hero doing so only had 1/6 chance per hit
hitting steam vortex with flammable weapon would damage the weapon with fire
if a non-cursed spellbook being read becomes cursed and hero recognizes that
	(bknown is set), interrupt reading

	to probe map for locations of other shopkeepers and arbitrary monsters
vortexes and other unsolid monsters need not avoid webs
barbarian and samurai can achieve basic in their special spell's skill
scalpel and tsurugi can now split puddings; bashing with darts or arrows can't
jumping while punished could leave ball and chain in the wrong place
improve Deaf message handling for the minetown watch and shops
issues with Warning when you're adjacent to an undetected hider; clearly you
	are aware a monster is present so this causes you to search it out
allow lookup of names like Hachi when selecting monsters from the map
lookup "More Info?" prompt will now tell you what it will look for on 'y'
using 'R' on armor would bypass some restrictions imposed by 'T' (inner layer
	could be taken off from under outer layer, embedded scales could be

when examining hidden monsters (probing, persistent monster detection), tell
	how they're hidden (under an object, on the ceiling, etc)
some quest text corrections
use a much tighter upper bound when summoning nasties; old method could
	theoretically create 200 critters at a time
if a long worm inherited inventory from a previous shape, and if an egg or
	figurine in that inventory hatched or auto-activated, messages were
	given when hero could see any tail segment even if head was unseen,
	making it seem as if worm's inventory was kept in the visible segment
Wizard will now steal any quest artifact from hero, not just own role's
prevent a hostile renegade Angel of <lawful god> from delivering taunt
	messages which mention threats of retribution from that god
a few types of monster (barrow wight, Nazgul, erinys) have weapon attacks that

change looting to choose ":iobrs nq" action from a menu for menustyle:Partial
wand/spell/breath zaps that reached the edge of the level on the Plane of Air
	and "vanished into the aether" left temporary display effects on screen

some blindness cures ignored u.ucreamed
some instances of stun or confusion timers were being overridden rather than
	incremented when new stun or confusion damage was suffered

	an alternate message instead of prohibiting the promotion
kicked weapon which successfully hits monster vanishes from play
unseen landmine explosion could result in "The <monst-type> statue crumbles."

	at a time [after 'add', return to add/list/remove menu]
commands invoked by uppercase meta characters: M-A, M-C, M-N, M-O, M-R, M-T
	were missing from '? c' list of game commands (dat/hh)

when attacking a monster with a rust or corrosion or acid passive
	counter-attack, grease wasn't protecting the attacker's weapon

	displayed an inventory of everything rather than just worn items (or
	not fully identified items)
exploding chest trap would destroy uchain while still worn if uball carried
if monster shapechange message "<foo> turns into <bar>!" was given, <bar>
	could be "it" (if <foo> sensed telepathically and <bar> is mindless)
automatic annotation for Ft.Ludios level got applied when a drawbridge became
	mapped, but entry there is a secret door rather than a drawbridge

	placing them among the h- and u-named items
sortloot changed to place diluted potion of foo after potion of foo instead
	of listing all diluted potions followed by all non-diluted ones
digging down on a grave converted the terrain to floor but did not create a
	pit and uncover the grave's contents; digging again--on floor--did
when feel_location removed a remembered-unseen-monster glyph from a known

	floor instead of water at that spot
Vlad's tower2 and tower3 didn't show up in wizard-mode ^O output or ^V? menu
remove extra space from "All of your  <stack-of-potions> boil and explode."
	(also applies to potions freezing and to scrolls burning)
effects of cursed potion of levitation were skipped if already levitating
when engulfed, having swallower be killed by angry deity trying to zap hero
	no longer violates pacifist conduct (other penalties--reduced luck or
	alignment--still apply if target is something you shouldn't kill)
likewise when a monster kills inself trying to prevent turning to stone or
	into slime that's been caused by the player, pacifism is not affected
metabolism adjustments: hero poly'd into metallivore form still needs to eat;
	being fainted or unconscious from other than sleep now consumes
	nutrition at lower rate, like being asleep already did;
	starvation threshold shortened due to slower food use while fainting
after using detection magic or #terrain while underwater, then leaving water
	and saving while on land, save would flag you as underwater again and
	then restore would limit the map display accordingly; next move would
	notice, retify things, and report "you are on solid land again"
change #terrain used while underwater to view the regular map rather than the
	crippled underwater one
can see or feel adjacent lava or ice when underwater
farlook when underwater now reports "land" for adjacent non-{water,lava,ice}
	and "unreconnoitered" for non-adjacent anything, instead of "dark part
	of a room" for the former and either dark-room or "unexplored" for the
	latter depending upon whether the spot had previously been scouted
monster who accidentally killed itself by zapping wand of fire or fire horn
	at self to prevent turning into slime was not properly killed off;
	it wouldn't benefit from an amulet of life saving and would trigger
	impossible "dmonsfree: N removed doesn't match M pending"
resurrecting a shopkeeper corpse caused crash (replmon -> replshk -> inhishop
	-> no eshk data for temporary monster being replaced with revived shk)
new character with OPTIONS=role:Valk,race:!human,align:!lawful yielded
	"Shall I pick your Dwarven Valkyrie's for you?" where !human forces
	dwarf and dwarf forces lawful, contradicting align:!lawful
new character with OPTIONS=role:Valk,race:random yielded
	"Shall I pick your Valkyrie's race and alignment for you?" instead
	of honoring race:random without asking
while in shop, undead turning at self causing carried, hero owned corpse to
	resurrect claimed it belonged to shopkeeper
while in shop, stone-to-flesh at self causing carried, hero owned figurine
	or statue to animate claimed it belonged to shopkeeper
reviving one of a stack of N corpses in a shop charged a usage fee for all N;
	remaining N-1 were owned by hero if carried but by shop if on floor
gremlin wailing in agony should wake up nearby monsters
add more lighting variance to the second bigroom variant
when getpos was picking a location, typing '^' to move to the next known trap
	skipped some detected traps if their location was unseen
describe detected door traps and chest traps as trapped door and trapped chest
	instead of bear trap; bear trap tile is still used on map though
thrown potion that killed peaceful monster would cause "the <mon> gets angry"
	after the message about it being killed
when poly'd into a hider and engulfed, attempt to hide via #monster was blocked
	but feedback said "can't hide while held" rather than "while engulfed"
various monster/object/food/gold/trap detections were inconsistent in how they
	behaved if performed while engulfed or underwater
show in inventory which monster a leash is attached to
using /? to look up something by name, supplying multiple spaces (with no
	other characters) as the name triggered impossible "singular of null?"
add support for the 'altmeta' option to the 'what-does' command ('&' or '?f')
when wielded weapon becomes untouchable (after alignment change or polymorph)
	hero could be 'blasted by its power' twice in succession
at startup, if sysconf had been read but user's own config file couldn't be
	read, sysconf got processed again as if it contained user's options
don't give "you cannot pass through the bars" when travel is testing possible
	paths in the vicinity of iron bars
if blind and no gloves, using 'm<dir>' to move and then 'e' could be used to
	locate cockatrice corpse without fatal touching (by declining to eat)
it's cannibalism for a were<foo> to eat a <foo> corpse
conduct: wishing for an artifact and not getting it because it already exists
	counts as wishing for an artifact, just like when not getting it
	because of quest restrictions or too many artifacts in play does

gelatinous cube shouldn't be able to eat a scroll of scare monster
make fireballs or cones of cold cast at skilled or higher not go through walls
prevent flying monsters from hovering over unreachable underwater objects
lembas wafer gives increased nutrition to elves, reduced nutrition to orcs;
	cram ration gives increased nutrition to dwarves
when #tip's terse object drop format got interrupted by a regular message,
	it continued using "obj2, obj3, ..." for subsequent objects, where
	the sentence grammar no longer made sense (the interrupting message
	still follows the comma of a partial sentence--attempting to fix that
	seems hopeless; leaving it is better than always using verbose format)
for #tip inside shop, credit was incorrectly given for spilled gold if that
	gold's stale location coordinates didn't happen to be inside the shop
when confused scroll of light summoned lights, player would be asked what to
	call the scroll even if scroll of light was already identified
if a visible monster becomes invisible, mark its spot with the 'remembered,
	unseen monster' glyph ('I' character or '?' tile)
monsters can throw cockatrice eggs at hero, but there was no handling for eggs
	when the missile hit an intervening monster
clarify that shape-shifted vampires revert to vampire form when petrified or
	digested; when back in 'V' form, they're vulnerable to such damage
when poly'd into an engulfer which does digestion damage, a kill resulting in
	a level gain gave "welcome to level N+1" before "you digest <victim>"
any corpse eaten by omnivorous hero always tasted "terrible"
eating the corpse of a unique non-named monster (Wizard of Yendor, Oracle,
	Chromatic Dragon, others) gave "The the <monster corpse> tastes ..."
when escaping the dungeon, change "you were here" annotation in dungeon
	overview to "you left from here"
option parsing will crash if 'playmode' option is present without a value
any item drained of enchantment was blamed on the player as far as shop
	billing was concerned, even if caused by disenchanter attack
if user supplied a specific monster name when asked to choose a monster class,
	first prefix match was picked rather than best match ("titan" yielded
	S_quadruped due to being preceded by "titanothere" in mons[])
change ing_suffix() to not double final 'w' when adding 'ing' ('t=' yielded
	"You mime throwwing something.")
using 'D' to drop when not carrying anything finished (after doing nothing)
	without giving any feedback for menustyles "full" and "partial"
"you hear a distant <musical note> squeak" might actually be nearby

	or with dead ends changed to loops
put throne room gold in the chest
novels are made of paper, not gold

	on the status line during final disclosure

Bell of Opening could trigger segfault attempting to open some types of traps
	if hero was mounted
automatic #overview annotation for quest summons wasn't shown if the quest
	entry portal was on same level as bigroom or rogue level
gaining or losing strength while wearing gauntlets of power could give
	misleading message about already being as strong or weak as possible
levitation vs encumbrance message sequencing issues:  putting on boots of
	levitation reported reduction of encumbrance before finish-wearing
	and float-up messages, taking off such boots didn't report increase
	of encumbrance until player took another action
removing a blindfold with 'A' took two turns, with 'R' (and 'T') only one,
	and could result in a crash if the blindfold was stolen during removal
removing a blindfold and wielded weapon with 'A' could result in crash if the
	weapon was destroyed by various methods
cmdassist help for movement prefix followed by invalid direction was strange
	when the direction was up, down, or self disallowed for that prefix
poor message when shape-shifted vampire reverts to vampire if it has a name:
	The Dracula suddenly transforms and rises as Dracula.
poor message when shape-shifted vampire reverts if cause of 'death' was
	disintegration or digestion and shifted form wasn't amorphous:
	The vampire bat is disintegrated.  The vampire bat suddenly transforms
	and rises as a vampire.  (fix: switch to existing alternate phrasing
	used for amorphous form, "reconstitute" rather than "transform")
poor message when named vampire shifts shape within view:
	You observe a Dracula where a Dracula was.
vampire shifting into fog cloud to pass under door "oozed" rather than "flowed"
vampires in fog cloud shape would tend to stay that way unless killed; give
	them a chance to change to bat or wolf shape if not seen or far away
adult green dragons and the Chromatic Dragon were blinded by gas clouds
named floating eye (when hit by another monster with reflection) or named
	silver weapon (when hero hits silver-hating monster) could disrupt
	message formatting and conceivably trigger crash if name had '%' in it
fix "you feel like a new man" if female human hero's polymorph attempt failed
	while in human form (when already poly'd, "new woman" correctly shown)
fix the 'A' command to have the 'D' command's fix for C331-1 (quirk for
	menustyle:Combination; if user included 'a' in "which object classes?"
	response, to operate on applicable all items, there would still be a
	followup menu asking to choose specific items)
eating 1 tin from stack of N (for N >= 2) on shop's floor forced hero to buy 2
using a cursed whistle in a vault will summon the guard immediately
throne room's throne is occupied by a king
using a grappling hook and getting pulled toward the target into water would
	drown hero without any chance to crawl out
blinded monster who eats a carrot will have blindness cured (hero already did)
the "bonesid" written into bones files when they're created so that they can
	be validated when loaded was incorrect for bones in the quest branch
	("QBar.2" ended up being "ar.2", "QKni.4" ended up as "ni.4", and so
	forth) but worked anyway, because validation used same incorrect value
surviving a gas spore's explosion would leave that explosion as a stale reason
	for death which might show up strangely ("crushed to death by a gas
	spore's explosion" when killed by an opening drawbridge)
add database entry for "martial arts"
add catch-all database entry for the polearms
starting inventory for rogues specified +9 lock pick, where +/-N is meaningless
fix pile mark when picking up all-but-one items while invisible
improve config file error reporting
when polymorphed into something with a passive counterattack, being 'killed'
	and returning to normal form allows a subset of counterattacks to
	continue after telling the player than the hero has reverted; change
	"Mon is splashed by your acid" to "Mon is splashed by acid" in that
	situation so that the message sequence doesn't look quite so strange
when returning to quest nemesis' level, the message for some roles (A,S,T,W)
	referred to sensing presence of the quest artifact even if had been
	removed from that level; give an alternate message in that situation
when the Amulet increased spell casting cost, nothing actually happened (aside
	from the message about feeling the Amulet drain the hero's power) if
	hero lacked sufficient energy to cast the spell
if was possible to leash an adjacent pet while engulfed
if leash or unleash attempt was directed at "remembered, unseen monster" glyph
	and yielded "there's no creature there", the glyph wasn't removed
wizmode level teleport menu indicates on what level you currently are
fix invisible gold symbol in status line when S_coin was set to space
fix buffer overflow in wizard mode for '#' command when 'extmenu' option is on
"you suddenly vomit" was given two turns before actually vomiting, so you
	could get that message, move a bit, then get "you can move again"
	after the 2 turn freeze applied along with the actual vomit
give an alternate message if you vomit when stomach is empty (ie, fainting)
corpses and other flammable items not subject to direct burning or fire-based
	erosion which were thrown or dropped into lava remained intact
if a potion on the floor survived a land mine explosion and got propelled at
	the hero, it didn't behave like a potion if it hit
adjust candelabrum's weight when candles are attached
when lit candelabrum burned out, persistent inventory window showed that it
	was no longer lit but still showed phantom candles attached
improve hilite_status, allowing multiple stops per field, and temporarily or
	permanently hilited fields
give feedback when released from a bear trap
#version output sometimes had ", and basic NetHack features." on its own line
	depending upon how the dynamically inserted pattern-match phrase fit
#version output left out "pattern matching via <method>" if the basic NetHack
	features entry was split across two lines
recovery of strength lost due to weakness from hunger was vulnerable to abuse
monsters hit by scroll of earth boulder did not get angry
hero could "pronounce the words on the scroll" when blind (if its label is
	known) even while being strangled at the time
hero could cast spells while poly'd into a form which can't speak (or grunt,&c)
	or while being strangled
when poly'd into a giant and moving onto a boulder's spot, you could get "you
	try to move the boulder, but in vain", "however, you can easily pick
	it up", "you are carrying too much stuff to pick up another boulder"
improve #adjust command's handling of the '$' and '#' inventory slots
prevent #adjust from allowing anything to be moved into the special '-' slot
sometimes rings dropped into sinks can be found in the pipes
doors in special levels were always generated in vertical orientation
assigning a type name to a potion on the floor which is actually a mimic could
	prompt "Call a stream of <potion-type> fluid:" (bogus 'fromsink')
with perm_invent option enabled and no inventory, 'i' put up an empty menu
charisma affects the leeway in demon lord bribes
make Vlad slightly tougher
reduce the amount of gold laying on the floor
locked chests and large boxes contain more stuff
make shopkeepers bill hero for burying merchandise
monster holding hero takes double damage from an explosion for reaching into
	adjacent spot, but it was being inflicted even when hero was swallowed
	or beyond the explosion radius
poly'd hero holding monster now takes double damage (if monster is within
	explosion radious) instead of inflicting that upon the monster
when trying to swap places with a pet and failing due to pet being unable
	to move diagonally to hero's spot (grid bug or too tight squeeze), if
	pet became untame the map would briefly show hero at pet's location
when trying to swap places with a pet and failing due to pet being trapped
	or disallowed diagonal move, the arrive-on-new-spot code (autopickup,
	trap triggering) executed even though hero didn't ultimately move
being "dead inside" (self-genocide while polymorphed) conferred partial
	invulnerability--normal monster behavior stopped attacking hero
if a fiery monster, wand of fire, or fiery explosion burned up a paper golem,
	it could still leave blank scrolls
hero poly'd into paper or straw golem reverts to human if burned up even when
	Unchanging without any explanation given
hero polymorphed into form which can't wear armor via 'W' (eliciting "don't
	even bother") could wear it via 'P'

redundant "hit by gush of water" message if poly'd into iron golem or gremlin
a shop object stolen from outside the shop (via grappling hook) would be left
	marked as 'unpaid' after the shop robbery took place, resulting in
	"unpaid_cost: object wasn't on any bill" when looking at inventory
a shop object stolen from outside the shop could trigger a crash if that shop
	had never been entered by the hero
shopkeepers in their own shop and priests in their own temple are no longer
	frightened by hero standing on scroll of scare monster
the Wizard, Angels and lawful minions, the Riders, shopkeep/priest in own room
	are never frightened by tooled horns
'Iu' would reveal unknown container contents if carrying one unpaid item inside
	a hero-owned container whose contents weren't known
docall for type of object could overflow its prompt buffer if there was a very
	long type name previously assigned
whatis lookup for 'more info?' would behave strangely for plural names, either
	entered by player or from "N foo" stacks on the map
you should not hear a whistle if you are deaf
change the deity's "congratulations" message upon ascension to something which
	sounds a bit more archaic to fit better with the other messages
prayer boon of 'fix all troubles' could get stuck in an infinite loop for
	TROUBLE_STUCK_IN_WALL if there was no spot to teleport into available
It shouldn't be considered hypocrisy if you speed up your pet while standing
	on Elbereth
fix 'object lost' panic if hero with lycanthropy but in human form is wielding
	a potion of unholy water which gets boiled/exploded by fire, causing
	were-transformation and drop of wielded weapon
prevent segfault if pline() is called recursively (which could happen if the
	interface code issues a debugpline() while processing putstr())
open at yourself is the same as #loot
when #force reports that a chest's lock is already broken or already unlocked,
	force it to be described as "a chest", even when its lock state is
	already known, rather than as "a broken chest" or "an unlocked chest"
honor wish for "locked", "unlocked", or "broken" chest or box
honor wish for "empty" container including statue, bag-o-tricks, horn-o-plenty
gas spore explosion killing a gas spore which triggers a recursive explosion
	would have killer reason for outer call clobbered by inner one; when
	they were both "gas spore's explosion" it wouldn't be noticeable (see
	corresponding post-3.6.0 entry for more...)
wizard mode 'sanity_check' gave spurious "mon not on map" warnings when mounted
at the prompt for entering a level annotation, responding with <return>
	erroneously removed old annotation; use <space><return> to do that
reorder the #droptype menu and add some separator lines
moving from a pit to an adjacent pit with uncleared debris shouldn't be a fall
open drawbridge spanning ice would vanish if the ice melted
if a warned-of mon moved onto a spot containing a 'remembered, unseen mon'
	then moved off, the unseen marker was redisplayed even though the
	hero should now know that the remembered monster isn't there anymore


Fixes to Post-3.6.0 Problems that Were Exposed Via git Repository
------------------------------------------------------------------
fix "object lost" panic during pickup caused by sortloot revamp
more sortloot revisions
fix inventory menu for response of '?' to getobj (more sortloot revamp fallout)
rings covered by non-cursed gloves not listed as 'R' candidates
in baalz_fixup, move any monster away from the two fake pool spots
switching farlook from xname to doname was giving away information for items
	located via object detection (quantity of detected gold)
changing doname to use "some" instead of precise quantity when an item's
	dknown flag is not set could result in blind hero getting
	"There is a some jackal corpses here.  Eat one?" and
	"You can only lift some of the some jackal corpses.  Continue?"
catch up win/Qt/qt_win.cpp on 18-Dec-2015 change to formatkiller()
fix for long lines in config file (28-Jan-2016) made 'O' command's 'list' and
	'remove' menu choices in interactive handling for menu colorings,
	message types, and autopickup exceptions subject to buffer overflow
when picking a destination for #jump, '$' to show valid dest. is more accurate
enchant armor gave "your pair of boots/gloves glow", should have been "glows"
when autopickup is overridden in a shop, always-pick-up exceptions and
	pickup_thrown still picked unpaid items up
the fix for giving an alternate grow up message when a monster becomes a new
	form with the opposite sex (female gnome into male gnome lord, for
	example) had the logic wrong
DUMPLOG: genocided and extinct species was always a blank line;
	vanquished creatures was just a blank line if nothing had been killed
DUMPLOG: RIP tombstone was printed for characters who survived (ascended,
	escaped dungeon, quit, trickery or panic)
DUMPLOG: pets who accompany hero during ascension or dungeon escape were
	already gone by the time known portion of the level map was dumped
artifact creation violated illiterate conduct when artifact name was assigned,
	behavior intended only for creating Sting or Orcrist via naming
tty: revert to pline() for issuing prompts (override MSGTYPE=hide differently)
previous tty-revert fix had the override test backwards, breaking MSGTYPE
save 'autodescribe' option value prior to detection or #terrain display and
	restore it after rather than leave it forced on
humanoid pet could become hostile but still remain tame if it observed hero
	attacking a peaceful creature
minor ^X/enlightenment bugs: grammar when poly'd into '1 hit dice' critter,
	missing punctuation for "You entered the dungeon N turns ago"
when configured with DUMPLOG enabled, artifacts were counted twice towards
	final score
once Moloch's Sanctum (or Astral Plane via wizard mode level teleport direct
	to end-game) was entered, end of game disclosure would reveal that
	high priests had been incorrectly flagged as extinct
attempting to name an item as an artifact and failing via hand slip violates
	illiterate conduct
crashes for 'A' above were downgraded to impossible "cursed without otmp"
wizhelp: ^O is #overview in wizard mode too; #wizwhere shows dungeon layout
wishing for tins sometimes yielded a tin wand
replace the fix for preventing putting on a helm of opposite alignment from
	causing wielded Excalibur from blasting hero twice
hero poly'd into vampire could drain monster down to 0 HP without killing it,
	triggering impossible "dmonsfree: 1 removed doesn't match 0 pending"
"you observe a fog cloud where a vampire/bat was" if an unseen vampire on the
	far side of a closed door shifted shape to pass under that door
fix mention_walls reporting secret doors as solid stone
jumping over water unintentionally moved hero through that water, causing
	drowning if not able to water walk or fly
try again to fix achievement recording bug with mines and sokoban prizes
the fix for secret doors on special levels always having vertical orientation
	resulted in some--but not all--secret doors within vertical walls
	being displayed as horizontal walls while still hidden
and the previous fix for the for secret doors didn't work if the level hadn't
	been wallified yet (Cav quest) so horizontal wall with secret door
	mis-displayed as a vertical wall segment could occur
and both the previous fixes only worked if the level description contained
	an explicit DOOR directive rather than just '+' or 'S' on the map
	(as with lower right area of Cav 'locate' level)
the fix intended for "a shop object stolen from outside the shop (via
	grappling hook) would be left marked as 'unpaid'" broke normal pickup,
	preventing any picked up item from merging with compatible stack
unix: freeing mailbox data at game end crashed if MAIL came from environment
unix: fix for freeing MAIL introduced a one-byte buffer overrun which could
	interfere with malloc/free operation
unix: fix for freeing MAIL also introduced a memory leak whenever new mail
	is detected and MAIL comes from the environment
when clairvoyance lets you move the cursor to examine the map (if it occurs
	when engulfed or underwater or when blessed clairvoyance finds a
	monster), the "for instructions type '?'" prompt could be confusing
prevent Mjollnir from being auto-quivered if it's been thrown without return
	and then picked back up while quiver slot is empty
plural of "fox" is not "foxen"
gas spore explosion killing a gas spore which triggers a recursive explosion
	would have killer reason for outer call clobbered by inner one;
	"You are hit by the gas spore's explosion!" (inner call, followed by)
	"You are hit by the !" (outer call, possibly repeated for multiple
	explosions causing multiple levels of recursion)
if multiple bands of blank lines were squeezed out of DUMPLOG's map, spurious
	blank lines appeared in the final map output
cursor positioning autodescribe of a statue while hallucinating was blank
tty+EDIT_GETLIN: if prompt plus existing output buffer contents (result of
	a prior getlin() used as default input) was long enough to wrap to
	second line, the wrap point could be different from when the previous
	input was typed, resulting it strange erase-char/kill-chars behavior


Platform- and/or Interface-Specific Fixes
-----------------------------------------
tiles: wrinkled spellbook had a spurious brown pixel on far right edge of tile
tiles: when statues are displayed as corresponding monsters, total_tiles_used
	in generated src/tile.c had incorrect value
tty: M-N gave "Unknown command 'M-" with "'." finishing the sentence on the
	line below it, leaving bogus '.' displayed on the top row of the map
tty: specifying all four of role, race, gender, and alignment still prompted
	for confirmation with "Is this ok?" before starting play
tty: responding with <return> or <enter> during role, race, &c selection
	behaved same as <escape> to quit; now it will pick [random] instead
tty: rename struct variable 'filter' (role.c) and function 'winch()' (wintty.c)
	to avoid conflicts with <curses.h>
tty: skip selector letter and selection indicator (-,+,#) during menu coloring
tty: '>' no longer closes a menu window
tty: if color is disabled and use_inverse is enabled, display lava in inverse
	video so that it is visually distinguishable from water
tty: if "--More--" was written to leftmost column (beginning of second line)
	while hero was swallowed, cursor would end up in wrong place (at end
	of status line instead back on map) after message line was cleared
tty: long message lines which wrap when shown on the top line might be
	re-displayed incorrectly by ^P for msg_window={full,combo,reverse}
tty: MSGTYPE=hide could interfere with display of prompts
tty: treat carriage return as a newline for input text and --More-- prompts
unix/X11: in top level Makefile, some commented out definitions of VARDATND
	misspelled pilemark.xbm (as pilemark.xpm)
unix: options file with CR+LF line ends and an invalid option line resulted in
	"ad option line: "whatever-the-line-was
	because embedded carriage return character changed cursor's position
unix: race condition with parallel make: src/Makefile might start building
	makedefs before finishing monst.o and objects.o; if so, util/Makefile
	can build them too, and they might be clobbered by simultaneous write
unix: Makefile.{src,utl} ignored CPPFLAGS which is expanded by the default .c
	rule by GNU make so if user had a value for that in the environment,
	it would apply to some files but not others; explicitly override it
unix: enable code guarded by USE_WIN_IOCTL by default unless prevented by
	uncommenting #define AVOID_WIN_IOCTL in include/unixconf.h
win32gui: getversionstring() was overflowing the provided Help About buffer
win32gui: guard against buffer overflow in in mswin_getlin()
win32gui: handle menu_color attribute
win32gui: name-from-discoveries list menu selector characters were punctuation
	instead of letters, repeated for each class; caused by the core bug
	of erroneously specifying space as a selector for class header lines
win32gui: allow toggling mouse_support off
MacOSX: initial binary release was built from out of date source code that
	had 'BETA' and 'DEBUG' inappropriately enabled
MacOSX: force TIMED_DELAY build option on so that 'runmode' run-time option
	is functional
Qt: could issue impossible "Destroy called before we know if Menu or Text"
	followed by crash caused by deferencing a Null pointer if player quit
	immediately after creating character and declined to disclose anything
X11: core bug for '`' (backtick) and #terrain commands was only noticed by
	X11 interface: impossible "add_menu: called before start_menu"
X11: enable a scroll bar in menu windows
X11: support pre-selected entries in menu windows
X11: make the extended command menu be easier to use and look a little nicer
X11: make the getline text entry widget display a bigger text entry area
X11: color didn't work when the map was displayed as text rather than tiles
X11: use grayscale monster tiles for statues
X11/USE_XPM: [post-3.6.0 issue] the 'tiles' bug of incorrect total_tiles_used
	for STATUES_LOOK_LIKE_MONSTERS broke XPM manipulation of tiles data
PANICTRACE: PANICTRACE_GDB used wrong value for ARGV0 when launching gdb if
	'nethack -dpath' was used to specify non-default playground directory
win32gui: gather raw_print error messages into a single dialog window
win32tty: fix display errors when using a font with double wide or ambiguous
	width characters
Amiga (untested): 'makedefs -z' didn't handle FILE_PREFIX correctly when
	building vis_tab.h and vis_tab.c

	positioning
blinded hero or monster who eats a nurse corpse will have blindness cured

blessed scroll of fire lets you choose explosion location like stinking cloud
optional sections in the config file, selected with CHOOSE

"Elbereth" now erodes based on attacks by the player, not monsters scared
add option herecmd_menu to make a mouse click on your character pop up
	a context menu, and extended command #herecmdmenu to do the same

	occur for any #adjust which lacked a split count, now it only happens
	when 'adjusting' into a stack's own inventory slot
a prayer result which results in uncursing some or all of the hero's items
	won't uncurse a worn helm of opposite alignment since that would
	facilitate the hero switching to another god by taking it off
wielded aklys behaves like Mjollnir when thrown--it usually returns; unlike
	Mjollnir, it isn't limited to Valkyries or need gauntlets of power
	(so far, hero-only; an aklys won't return if thrown by a monster)
allow 'm' prefix for wizard mode level teleport command (^V) to bypass prompt
