    T-Engine4 / ToME4 beta34 aka "Say no to jittering" unleashed

    As promised here comes T-Engine4 and ToME4 beta34 ! See http://te4.org/
    Don't forget to help ToME by with donations ( http://te4.org/donate ) !

    This is a bugfix/balance release.

    Release highlights:
    Fixes the dreaded wilderness/map change crash bug
    Fixes the smooth shadow "jittering" when moving fast
    Fixes keyboard handling
    Many smaller fixes
    Talents respec! Kinda!

    Expanded changelist:
    Unfocused dialogs will not darken anymore, it was just annoying
    Ghouls correctly get their speed penality
    Added a fourth page of hotkeys bringing the total to 48
    Arcane Eye correctly requires level 4 to track
    Updated keyboard handling, should not double trigger anymore

    Perhaps fix wilderness map going bonkers
    Assassin Lord should not pop on level 1 and always on level 2
    Limited talents respeccing available: The last 4 class and 3 generic talent points you spent are always reassignable (unless they are on a special talent like imbue item to prevent abuse). Birth talents are also respeccable on birth this way.
    First half of the big LOS/FOV update:
    FoV no longer improperly peeks around blocked corners
    LoS is now equivalent to FoV
    "Smart" LoS: if you can see it, you can target and project to it
    FoV has a permissiveness setting that can be set for each level
    Distance metrics are now consistent for FoV, AoE, and talent ranges (defaults to rounded circle)
    fov_beam_any_angle function now uses "dx", "dy" as input instead of "angle"

    Fix attack runes cooldowns

    Alchemist Gems can not become cursed
    Learning combat training on the golem from an escort wont lower his (hidden) mastery
    Golem Pound does not affect the alchemist
    Locked doors have a padlock on them
    Ruined dungeon and Arena unlock locked doors have tiles
    Fix text lines on very large screens
    Fix bug when doing "New Game" after doing "Load Game"
    ObjectActivable:useObject changed to return a table, objects implementation using use_simple or use_power must thus return a table too
    Fixed using object turn-usage. Turn will be spend when the target is selected only
    Reduced the duration of Blinding Spores
    Wintertide Phial now has an activation
    Buffed the Murderblade damage and added an Frenzy proc

    Fix Celia being brought to the Fearscape
    Fix Volcano when save/reloading
    Reavers's Ruin talent now also heals them for each hit they do
    FOV/LOS shape can now be altered by modules using a simple: core.fov.set_vision_shape("circle") . The parameter can be one of "circle", "circle_floor", "circle_ceil", "circle_plus1", "diamond", "octagon", "square"
    The Rod of Recall can be used again to stop recalling
    Vampiric Gift provides a bit less healing
    Black Robe procs reduced
    Chat filter options are now correctly saved when changed
    Chat log dialog will not scroll on new messages if not at the bottom
    Inventory window encumberance title changes color the closer you get to overburned
    Learning a talent triggers its cooldown (except on birth)
    Fixed the shadows "jittering" when quickly moving around with smooth shadows
    Negative fatigue is not possible for psi
    Screenshots works in dialogs & targetting mode too
    Reseted keybinds, this should be the last time, hopefully
    Reaver's Ruin talent damage is computed on the fly so that Bloodlust can affect it
    When the There and back again quest is done Zemekys home closes (since he gets out)
    Fixed random crash on changing levels
    Paradox Mage in the "The Way We Weren't" quest can not self resurrect even if the player could

    Removed speed runes
    Made horror talent descriptions clearer
    Anomalies now reduce paradox when they occur depending on the cost of the talent that triggered them (the anomaly that does damage to spacetime still exists however)
    Anomalies are now called before failure checks so the player can't hit a point where it's impossible to trigger an anomaly
    Rethread and Gather the Threads now have mechanics to reduce paradox
    Energy Decompositoin description clarified
    Brawler birth description clarified
    On birth all talents are respecable
