- Bottom buttons now have standardized size of 38x38 (one pixel larger than before in both dimensions)
- Padding in terrain screen is now uniform

- Bottom buttons are now specified in a flexible way which would allow for easily reordering them or making a new mode toolbar
- Single-frame boom for "weird" damage
- Animated booms for "weird" and ice damage

Changed the following things from weird (formerly unblockable) damage to unblockable (formerly special) damage:
- Starvation
- Debug 'K' command

- Fix leaving artifacts of previous titles in the PC stats area
- Title of PC items area is now in yellow, to match the PC stats area
- Bold text now actually looks bold (affects all programs)
- In the scenario editor, the location of the info strings above and below the toolbar are fixed
- Text in the PC editor has received numerous tweaks too numerous to list. In particular, text on the right buttons is better centred, and gold and food aren't stuck together.
- PC editor now shows race even if it's a monster race
- PC editor now recognizes the presence of the forcecage status
- PC editor now shows all traits and status effects, even if the PC has every trait or every status effect in the game.
- New buttons: "place forcecage", "place stone block", and (currently non-functional) "erase town entrance"
- Forcecages with no creature inside them are now permanent
- Fix forcecages leaving the top half behind when they disappear
- All areas with scroll wheels can be scrolled using the scroll wheel if the mouse is in the area
- In addition, the terrain view is scrollable with the scroll wheel (hold Control for horizontal scrolling)

- Fix the "lift fog" node
- Remove the optimization of only redrawing a terrain space if it has changed
- Fix energy-draining weapons
- Specials called when a spell is targeted on a space now work a little differently if the spell is multi-target. For each target, the special is triggered if it exists; otherwise the normal spell behaviour occurs.
- 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
- Introduce enum for step sounds
- Remove union for treating terrain flags as either signed or unsigned
Editor:

- 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.

- Fix several typos that completely broke combat and special encounters

- 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 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

- Rendering support for custom PC graphics
- Fix display of stats on startup screen
- Fix implementation of animate attack node
- Moved change/swap/transform terrain to the General section
- Merge change outdoor terrain into general change terrain
- Merge if town/outdoor terrain nodes
- Merge the if+take nodes with the equivalent base nodes
- Merge secret passage node into the can't enter node
- Move outdoor shop to the General section since it's not restricted to outdoors
- New story dialog node displays a sequence of strings one at a time, like the Exile 2 intro dialog
- New town nodes for animations: run missile, animate monster attack, draw simple boom with optional damage number

- Rename cItemRec -> cItem and cItemRec::type -> cItem::weap_type

- Remove the flag_x members in the scenario that used to store the scenario's password hash (or something like that)
Also:
- Print "Target Spell" before the explanatory prompts, instead of after (when fancy targeting)
- Fix sell costs being drawn on top of the button
- String-insensitive comparing for dialogue keys
- Scenario and PC editors still don't link
- Copy files stage set up in the Common project
- Scenario and PC editors now placed in Scenario Editor subfolder in the output directory
- Disabled some totally useless warnings
- "About" menuitem now considered to belong to "Help" menu (even on Mac code) as far as the handlers are concerned
- Dialog string filter is now a function instead of a custom iterator
- Modal session now requires parent window as additional parameter
- Preferences and menus work! Cursors still need some work.
- Since Visual Studio has no way of showing program output that I can find, stdout and stderr are now redirected to a file.
