* The rightmost column is now mostly dedicated to non-modifying operations – eyedropper and zoom are moved there, pushing the 3 palette buttons down in town mode.
* Set Starting Location and Set Town Boundaries moved from the menus into the toolbar.
* Place Same Creature and Place Same Monster removed, since placing a monster or creature no longer resets the mode, so you can place as many of the same one as you like.
* Erase Town Entrance removed – what is it even good for? Removing the entrance without removing the town terrain is nonsensical. A town entrance can now be erased just by painting over it.
* Copy Item, Copy Monster, and Copy Terrain added. The latter copies a rectangle of terrain.
* Paste Special is removed. Instead there's a generic Paste button which pastes whatever type of thing you copied last, whether it be a special, a monster, an item, or even some terrain.
* Horse and boat no longer share a row with road. Instead, some of the fields have been reshuffled, so now fields take up three rows (though not three complete rows)
The text in the various help dialogs that was previously baked into an image is now drawn as text, meaning that it benefits from text unblurring when scaling is active.
This entails some small changes to layout, since it's a different font.
Dialog engine changes:
* A new picture type allowing to draw the inventory button icons directly into a dialog.
* A new widget type that simply draws a line between two points.
The limit of 3 saved item rectangles has been removed - you can now add as many as you want.
However, the 1 per town limit is now strictly enforced.
The saved item rectangle is now shown with a cyan border when editing town.
- Pointing arrows moved from terscreen to invenbtns
- Target mark moved from trim to invenbtns
- Road pieces moved from trim to fields
- Diagonal pointing arrows added
- trim is now a monochrome image
This is because, for reasons unknown, SFML on Windows was inappropriately complaining that they were not 8-bit.
The problem appears to be that it can't even handle colour maps of less than 8 bits.

This includes an added optimization to the resource manager - it now uses unordered (hash) maps instead of ordered (tree) maps to keep track of loaded resources and paths, for the average constant lookup time.
