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

change dipping prompt to not ignore 'called' and 'named' attributes of item
	to be dipped
avoid 'the unlabeled {scroll,spellbook} fades' when blank item is hit by water
wrong message given when high priest on astral plane rejects being assigned a

	dungeon but ended up arriving on Plane of Earth
monster hitting fire-dealing monster with weapon triggered passive damage to

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

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

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
	attempted but triggered "select_off" impossible)
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

prevent a hostile renegade Angel of <lawful god> from delivering taunt
	messages which mention threats of retribution from that god

	displayed an inventory of everything rather than just worn items (or
	not fully identified 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 argry"
	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?"

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 cannabilism 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
avoid ring of poison resistance as starting equipment for orcish wizard
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 increase 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)

show all statusline information in #attributes
add option status_updates to prevent bottom of screen status line updates

g.cubes would eat globs of green slime without harm; engulf those instead
fix up true rumor about rock moles vs boots
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"
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"
starting inventory for rogues specified +9 lock pick, where +/-N is meaningless
fix pile mark when picking up all-but-one items while invisible


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)
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


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
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
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
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
