##### DEBUG & MODDING
- Added <mixin> to object blueprints, allowing you to inherit and merge the properties of multiple blueprints together.
- Load="Fill" will prioritize properties from the Inherited blueprint, otherwise the mixin has precedence.
- Include="part,stat" can be used to only inherit properties that match a tag name.
- Exclude="tag,property" can be used to only inherit properties that do not match a tag name.
- The mixins will be evaluated from top to bottom, unless a manual Priority="5"
- is specified.
- The Examiner part has been overhauled. Instead of the fields UnknownDisplayName, AlternateDisplayName, UnknownDescription, AlternateDescription, UnknownTile, AlternateTile, and so, there are now two fields, Unknown and Alternate, which take the names of blueprints for objects to derive the unknown and alternate appearances of the item from. The property KeepTile supports the behavior of identifiable furniture where the text appearance changes but the tile does not. Also, the unusual Examiner behavior of tonic injectors is now data-driven and moddable; please refer to the configuration of tonics for more information.
- When using the debug option 'Show quickstart option during character generation, pressing the keybind now only works on the first screen.

#####GAMEPLAY
- We changed how movespeed is calculated. Instead of approaching near-infinite movespeed as you near 200, your movespeed above or below 100 is treated as a percentage increase or decrease.
Examples: 160 movespeed is 60% faster than 100. 50% movespeed is 100% slower than 100.
- The Multiple Legs mutation now costs 4 points.
- Motorized treads now gives more movespeed.
- Occasionally, upon gaining a level, completing a quest, performing the water ritual, or defeating a legendary foe, you may now become inspired to name one of your items.
- We made some changes to liquid and liquid pool behavior.
- You now swim through pools of size 2000+ drams. Swimming is now a status effect that penalizes movespeed and prevents creatures from taking move-related actions that require footing. You're asked to confirm movement when you first move into a swim-depth pool. The swimming confirmation message is toggleable via the option in the Prompts menu.
- Added a new status effect: wading. You now wade through pools of size 200-2000 drams. Wading gives -20 movespeed and interferes with some forms of movement, including sprinting.
- We renormalized the volumes of all the puddles, pools, and rivers in the game. Swim-depth pools (over 2000 drams) are now much more rare.
- Pools smaller than the wading threshold (200 drams) now use a different tile set.
- Entering a swim-depth pool from land now displays a warning message and requires you to confirm movement.
- Swim-depth pools now interrupt autowalk unless you are already swimming, flying, or out of phase with the pool.
- Small puddles now evaporate over time.

- You can now use water to clean your stained equipment via inventory actions on either your water containers or your stained equipment.
- Some liquids now weight more than others.
- Creatures moving through pools of liquid now track the liquid around. Bigger pools are more likely to be tracked around.
- Footwear now protects you from being affected by small pools of liquid.
- Pathfinding now puts more weight toward pathing around large pools of liquids, even less deadly ones.
- Bilge sphincters now provide a movespeed bonus in liquid pools of 200+ drams instead of 1000+.
- The random-buy mutation choices should now be more stable for a given seed.
- If you're out of 2+ point mutations to buy, you're now presented with 1-point mutations.
- Spacetime vortices and rifts now deposit all objects that enter through them into a consistent destination zone (randomly determined per anomaly), rather than destroying non-player objects. Companions sucked into a vortex are unable to rejoin you until you find them.
- We tweaked the temperature-related behavior of liquids.
- You may find differences in how pouring liquids on you affects temperature.
- Standing in a pool of lava is no longer safe once you've dealt with the initial temperature shock.

- Mirrorshades now give a very small chance to reflect light-based attacks.
- Multiple applications of Hobble now renew the duration of the effect rather than stacking the movespeed penalty.

##### DEBUG AND MODDING
- We made several improvements to the map editor.
- The map editor now loads with an empty map rather than looking like you're editing the main menu.
- Added x-y coordinates for the mouse position and selected cell.
- Holding Ctrl while hovering over an item in the blueprints list now displays a portion of the blueprint XML.
- Added a checkbox on the blueprint filter to only show blueprints in use on the map.
- Made the sidebar opaque.
- Alt-clicking on a tile now properly set the brush even when you have no brush selected.
- Added Transform > Flip Vertical to the map editor.
- Added File > Reload Blueprints to the map editor. This lets you reload ObjectBlueprints.xml without quitting and reopening the editor.
- You can now select regions in the map editor by holding shift and dragging the select box over tiles. Ctrl-a selects the entire map.
- Redesigned the "selected cells" region of the map editor. You can now delete, bulk replace, and set ownership on objects in the selected region.
- The map editor now supports Ctrl-C to copy a selected region, which turns your brush into a rectangle the size of that region. Ctrl-click pastes the copied region, and right-click deletes the region bounded by the selected rectangle.
- The map editor now properly renders most walls, water tiles, and fences.
- The map editor now has tile previews in the blueprint selector.
- You can now undo the "fill" action in the map editor.
- Die rolls can now be specified as follows: "1d6[foo]", "2d4[bar]", etc, where 'foo' and 'bar' are arbitrary names of randomizer channels. The die roll will source its pseudorandomness from the channel specified; this produces a consistent series of results for a given channel name and world seed.
- Conversation choices now support fields IfHavePart and IfNotHavePart that make the choice conditional on whether the specified part is present on the player.
The tag or string property ForceAnimatable now overrides an object animation's current walls-and-tables-only check.
- Bodies.xml now supports a BodyType attribute on anatomy elements that allows override of the body part type to use for the central body (normally "Body").
- Added an AfterGameLoaded event.
- Added default behavior for when a modded quest doesn't specify a hagiograph.
- Enabled anonymous access to workshop content.
- The starting location selector is no longer shown if a genotype or subtype has a defined starting location.
- Added a new Modding option: 'Select enabled mods on new game'.
- Space no longer accepts the 'Would you like to die?' prompt.
- We added a markup layer to our text coloring system. Example: {{red|this text will be red}}. This lets us treat color specification as a stack, so that text's color can be reset to the previously specified color at the end of a block. (Previously, we would try to emulate this behavior by resetting color to default grey [&y], but grey wasn't always the last specified color.) The markup layer also supports shaders that apply color patterns to text blocks. Color names and shaders are defined in a new moddable file, Colors.xml.
- We changed the implementation for how MinEvents are dispatched. Modders who are handling a MinEvent in one of their IParts (e.g. bool HandleEvent( EnteringCellEvent ev ) need to update each HandleEvent declaration to include 'public override' (e.g. public override bool HandleEvent( EnteringCellEvent ev )) in order for that event to be dispatched properly to the part.
- In character generation, whether a genotype is considered a mutant is now controlled explicitly by the new attribute IsMutant="true" in the genotype entry rather than by whether its name contains the substring "True". Mods affecting genotypes may need to add this attribute.
- The ability of NPCs to repair, recharge, and identify artifacts in the trade screen is no longer controlled by the CanRepair, CanRecharge, and CanIdentify properties. Instead, it's determined by the relevant tinkering skills. (Repair enables the repair action, Tinker I enables recharge, and Gadget Inspector enables identify, with Tinker II, Tinker III, Intelligence modifier, and any relevant equipment contributing to identification performance.)
- Added support for the ZoneFactory property on a world node, which contains the name of a class deriving from IZoneFactory in the XRL.World.ZoneFactories namespace.
- Added support for the ZoneFactoryRegex property on a world node, which optionally contains a regex that describes all worlds for which this world's zone factory should handle fabrication. Used when one world node handles several worlds.
- Added WorldFactory::addAdditionalWorld, which allows the addition of new worlds at runtime.
- Implemented Myopia as an AdjustVisibilityRadiusEvent, allowing equipment and parts to adjust the visibility radius.
- Restructured the loading of ObjectBlueprints.xml, solving many inheritance problems, most notably with Load="Merge" from mods.
- Deprecated the GameManager.Instance.ViewData interface.
- UI Views are now defined with the [XRL.UI.UIView] attribute on a class.
- Increased the warning level output for the mod compiler, allowing modders to see previously hidden compiler warnings.
- Updated the Modding Utilities link to the modding wiki: https://cavesofqud.gamepedia.com/Modding:Overview.
- The Blueprint Browser now shows all properties on blueprints, in XML.
- You can now select and copy in the Blueprint Browser.
- Exposed a method to add a Wish handler. See https://cavesofqud.gamepedia.com/Modding:Wishes.
- Added a "beguile" wish that forces the target into your party.
- Med names may now be extended by applying the [MedNamesExtension] attribute and implementing the IMedNamesExtension { int Priority(); void OnInitializeMedNames( List<string> medNames ); } interface.
- Added a wish, "clearstatshifts", to remove temporary stat shifts, even including shifts from items you have equipped or active status effects. To regain those stat shifts, you'll have to re-equip those items or re-up the effects.
- Added a new wish, "reveal settlements", that reveals all dynamically generated settlements on the world map.
- Added a new wish, "factionencounter:<faction>", that generates a special faction encounter in your current zone. For example, wishing for "factionencounter:Templar" generates a Templar faction encounter. You can override the tier and level values for the zone, both of which affect the creatures generated for the faction encounter, like so: "factionencounter:<faction>:<tier>" and "factionencounter:<faction>:<tier>:<level>".
- Added a new API, StatShifter, to Parts and Effects that helps track stat shifts. See https://cavesofqud.gamepedia.com/Modding:StatShifter.
- Added a new debug option: "Show debug text for stat shifts".
- Added a new wish, "showstatshifts", that displays a list of items and effects shifting your stats.
- Added a new wish: "bits" adds 20 of each type of bit to your bit locker. "bits:100" adds 100 of each bit.
- The ConversationScript part now supports a Color field that's used to specify a color or shader to be applied to the creature's conversation text.
- Self-closing <mutation ></mutation> tags in the XML no longer skip the next mutation when they're loaded.
- The new blueprints loader no longer crashes when given an <intproperty> with no Value (it assumes 0 instead).
- Made wish string matching more accurate.
- The "Do you really want to die?" promp no longer accepts space or enter as input.
- An object can now set the ReplacementObject member of an ObjectCreatedEvent to return a replacement object instead of itself during object creation.
- Effects may now whitelist themselves for most deep copy operations by overriding allowCopyOnNoEffectDeepCopy and returning true.
- Normalized the parameter name for number of penetrations to "Penetrations" across several combat messages.
- Negative/debuff effects for purposes of Shank and Domination are now designated by an [IsNegativeEffect] attribute on the effect class or an override of the method IsDebuff() for dynamic determination.
- Fixed a bug that caused GlobalConfig.json to be unmoddable.
- Fixed a bug that caused the JoppaWorldBuilderExtension and WorldBuilderExtension attributes to be ignored.
- Fixed a bug that caused modded versions of Options.xml to fail to be initialized.

- Ice frogs no longer sit in immobile confusion until approached.
- Miner bots no longer generate mines based on modded grenades.
- NPCs are now less interested in using random items from their inventories as improvised weapons.
