- Fix escape not ending shop mode
- Fix outdoor special spots not being drawn
- Fix special spots sometimes appearing off the edge of the sector in the scenario editor
- This means killing the party after calling the end scenario node will give the death screen instead of the victory screen
- Reversing the order of the checks also makes it airtight in case of any future changes
- Shops can now contain more than one type of item (for example, both mage and priest spells)
- Shops can now specify any talking portrait
- Healing options in a shop now have an info button giving a brief explanation (partly because it was easier than maintaining the exception)
- Additional healing option (not present in default healing shops): cure acid
- Acid is also no longer removed when you leave town or end combat (unless it's about to wear off)
- Always start shop mode with the scrollbar scrolled to the top
- Fix crash when entering an outdoor shop (and outdoor dialogue for that matter)
- Treasure generation system can now return junk items (treasure type 0), but only if explicitly requested; this is possible in shops but not with monsters since 0 means no loot
Dialog Engine:
- When setting a scrollbar's maximum, it now ensures the current position doesn't end up greater than the maximum
- The job board is loosely based on Exile III's job board; the dialog is converted from the one contained as a relic of E3 in BoE
- Quest system is loosely based on a mix of Exile III jobs and Blades of Avernum quests
- Talking to a monster (even a hostile one) can now trigger an arbitrary special node
Dialog engine:
- LED's now support wrapped labels
- Augmentation - gives one PC bonus hit points
- Nirvana - gives one PC negative dumbfounding and bonus spell points
- Icy Rain - like Firestorm, but cold damage
- Flame Aura - Damages spaces adjacent to caster
- Summon Aid - Like Summoning, but only summons one
- Major Summon Aid - Like Major Summoning, but only summons one
- Flash Step - Short-range teleport

- Range-check the terrain flags.
- Add Custom button to choose a town as the combat arena.
- Fix/tweak/improve several of the terrain flag prompts.
- Fix placing shortcut key in field as its ASCII code instead of the letter
- Fix some of the range checks that were already in place but were incorrect or improperly static
Game:
- The wilderness terrain types now allow specifying how many d6's of food you get when hunting there.
- Crumbling terrain uses flag 2 instead of 3 to determine method (flag 2 was supposed to be strength but was never used)
- Merge two functions that did almost exactly the same thing (namely altering a terrain space and potentially updating conveyor/lights info)
- Merge switch_level into handle_lever since it was the only place it was called
- Remove global store_special_loc; the location is stored in the stuff_done array now
- Change when use/step on terrains will now update lighting if they changed to a terrain with a different light level
- Terrains that call a special no longer support mixed global/local modes - they either always call a local special or always call a global special
- Use previously unused swap_ter function (which did the exact same thing as the swap terrain special node)
Dialog Engine:
- Don't "erase" invisible icons or buttons; it's not necessary, since the entire window is filled with background before the draw() method is called, and it causes problems in case of overlapping elements.
- The affect party status now also supports removing each status
- Removing the flight status is similar to flight wearing off normally - it can lead to party death if you're on a blocked space, and even if not you'll probably take some damage.

- Fix booms not showing when stepping in damaging fields in combat
- Fix crash when attempting to save a game that has never before been saved (due to clicking cancel at the initial save dialog)
- Fix some of the flickering during animations
- Support "special" damage on PCs - pierces invulnerability much like it does for monsters
- Fix monster missiles sometimes being mistargeted in combat mode
- Fix iLiving->index conversion
- Add special damage to scenario editor list
- Fixes PC melee attacks using webs from the wrong PC
- Support for PC-on-PC attacks is in place, though these code paths are currently not entered; could be used for charmed PCs, for example
- In many cases, status effects that don't affect monsters are now supported for them (but still don't affect them... yet)
- The "special" damage from assassination is now handled differently; support for it is no longer hard-coded into damage_monst(), and the message display for it is handled externally from damage_monst(). Also, it's no longer used for any kind of magic weapons.
- Select target special node has changed its way of selecting a specific monster/PC as the target
- Fix monster-on-monster attacks applying poison on all three attacks instead of just the first

- Alchemy shops now show ingredients
- Make use of the constants defined for indexing the shop rects

- Weapon ability that drains spell points (works at both melee and range)
- Armor abilities that boost groups of stats - one for all combat stats, one for all magic stats
- Item ability that occasionally increases light level when it's dark (works even in towns with no light)
- Renumber the usable abilities to fill in gaps
- Usable light ability can now decrease light as well as increase
- A set of nodes for building complex strings in a string buffer; to reference the string buffer anywhere a string is expected, you can use -8 as the string number
- A node to pause the action for a specified period of time
- Nodes to alter traits, action points (only in combat), and PC/monster names
- Node to create a new level 1 PC with a specified race, name, graphic, hp, sp, basic stats; custom graphics supported too
- Nodes to test for deadness, spells, alchemy, and status effects
- Node to centre the view on an arbitrary space
- Node to lift the "fog of war", which currently means the unseen and light masks (which can actually be disabled in preferences anyway)
- Node to edit maps (ie, specify which areas are explored)
Changes to existing nodes:
- All the rectangle nodes that affect terrain now work outdoors.
- Play sound node now has an asynchronous option
- Fix min and max modes being swapped in the check statistic node
- Select PC now allows restricting to dead PCs or to PCs with free inventory space
- Select PC now calls the "on cancel" node if a non-interactive selection fails

- If context node can now check if the party is in a specific boat/horse as opposed to any boat/horse
- Rearrange alchemy code a little to fix a possible situation with two-ingredient potions where you only have one of the first ingredient - instead of removing the second ingredient, it would have removed the next item in your inventory
- Equippable item abilities that have an ability strength now stack if you have multiple items with the same ability equipped
- Supports playing arbitrary sound along with the split (rather than just teleport sound or no sound)
- Correctly imported from older save files
- Support for splitting off an arbitrary subgroup of the party rather than just a single PC (though the special node doesn't yet allow this)
- Support for leaving town while split - if you leave town, the absent PC's items are not dropped on the ground when later entering a town
- Option to not change location when reuniting
- If you reunite in a different town than you started, you are returned to the town you split from
- Fix PCs sometimes taking damage when they shouldn't due to the marked damage field not being initialized
- Fix targeting not hitting the correct space when the screen is shifted
- Fix target space special node node being called in combat
- Move monster marked damage into cCreature
- Fix custom missiles causing a crash if graphic not found
- Fix display in transcript of damage taken by monsters
- Fix missile start items not having their missile graphic set
- Fix immunity fields being signed (which would've prevented immunities from working properly)
- Don't bother generating a random number if min and max are the same
- Fix monster attack types not showing right
- Fix checking for item abilities returning 0 instead of 24 when not found
