    - Remove staves and rods of Identify, scrolls of Identify still exist but are
    not sold in the Alchemy Shop anymore
    - Remove IDENTIFY_PACK effect (from potions of *Enlightenment*)
    - Remove pseudo-id (PWMAngband: remove PSEUDO_ID_IMPROV, make pseudo-id
    automatic and immediate on walkover, keep feeling message but remove
    feeling inscriptions, simplify quality ignoring)

    - Make *Slay*s have a random power or base resist
    - Learn sustains if their item also boosts the stat

    - Make devices that affect monsters require a target to ID

    (PWMAngband: 'Toggle search mode' becomes 'Toggle stealth mode' for Rogues)
    - Remove searching and search frequency skills
    - Introduce trapsafe status and trap disabling, change trap destruction spells
    - Secret doors only inside rooms
    - Only set traps in corridors, replace some tunnel junction doors with traps

    - Change pit behaviour
    - Make chests rarer and more valuable
    - Add DRAIN_LIGHT effect

    to_a/to_h/to_d values, object flags/modifiers/elements, effect, tval
    - New curse system: implement curses as runes, update object info and
    description, restore curse removal, allow branding of cursed items, know
    curses on wield (instead of pickup), turn cursed egos into curses, replace
    OF_TELEPORT with OF_NO_TELEPORT, redo teleportation jewelry as cursed

    PWMAngband:

    - Port and adapt object knowledge from Angband: transfer player knowledge
    (automatically notice damage dice and base armor class), set ego type if
    known, notice artifacts, apply auto-id, "assess" objects, ignore items
    eligible for ignoring
    - Replace activation on Eriril by DETECT_TREASURE

    - Assess jewelry on walkover

    Bugs fixed
    ----------

    Angband 4.1.x:

    - Make dwarf gold detection more update-efficient
    - Fix 'dependant' typo

    PWMAngband:

    - Learn the ego when branding an item, not the brand itself
    - Display temporary effect (resistance, ESP) with a light green '!' on the
    player screen object property grid instead of using the green header which is
    reserved for immunity

    screen object property grid (temporary resistance to fire was displayed twice)
    - Make sure the object still exists when ignoring an object from the ignore menu
    to avoid crashing the client (corpses may have decomposed, ...)

    - Update quiver count when dropping a partial stack of missiles
    - Don't draw breath effect over the breather
    - Fix "resist acid" element/rune learned when hit by a Darkness spell

    randarts

      Since the curse branch seems stable now, I'll start to work on the main new feature for 1.1.12: a revamped wilderness!

              First part of wilderness rework done. Assume that every new dev release breaks savefile compatibility. Changes since last time:

              - Remove text screen dumps
              - Make wilderness square-shaped (with radius 32) instead of diamond-shaped
              - Make wilderness bordered (by the Walls of the World) instead of circular
              - Parse wilderness terrain information from new wild_feat.txt file
              - Add new wilderness types (deep water, desert, glacier, high mountain)
              - Add new wilderness terrain types (sand, sandwall, ice, ice wall)
              - Switch around tiles for log and drawbridge (32x32, 48x64 and 64x64 tilesets)
              - Redraw a few terrain tiles (8x16 tileset)
              - Add missing tiles for loose dirt and crops (16x16 tileset)
              - Fix crash when trying to generate creeping coins in the wilderness
              - Display wilderness coordinates properly at the bottom right of the wilderness minimap, fixing a crash in the process if the size of the minimap was too big
              - Fix swamp and town tiles (8x8 tileset)

              Files updated: binaries and source code.

                Current dev version parses wilderness info from a fixed map now. For this, I used this map of Middle Earth:



                For now, there's still a town and suburb (with player houses) in the middle of the map, so its placement eats most of the Fangorn Forest and its eastern part called The Wold. Next steps will be to add different towns (Bree, Lothlorien...) and places of Middle Earth that will serve as extra dungeons.

                    What's the wilderness for? Do you have multiple dungeons and stuff?

                      There will be. Goal is to reproduce what was done in ToME 2, with a real Middle Earth map instead of a random wilderness that serves no purpose.

                        Third part of wilderness rework done plus some stuff from V. Now I've reached the point of no return, next step will break everything. Changes since last time:

                        - Fix a couple of memory leaks
                        - Add list-randart-properties.h
                        - Refactor obj-randart
                        - Move monster blow methods to a data file
                        - Move much of list-player-timed.h to player_timed.txt
                        - Fix randart weapons having both supercharged AC and normal AC

                        - Register monster resistance to known brands and slays
                        - Move monster blow effects to blow_effects.txt
                        - Remove the six static pre-designed dungeon towns used on no_recall/more_towns servers (while keeping the framework for designing static dungeon levels/towns)
                        - Remove MAngband-style town (for now), use (modified) Angband-style town instead
                        - Generate Angband-style dungeon towns automatically every 1000ft on no_recall servers (if there is no static pre-designed dungeon town loaded at that depth)
                        - Add missing town wall tile mappings (all tilesets)
                        - Allow dwellings on WILD_WASTE terrain
                        - Make town suburb WILD_WASTE if not already WILD_GRASS or WILD_WASTE (from metamap parsing)
                        - Generate arenas on WILD_DESERT terrain
                        - Don't respawn monsters in town suburb

                            Current system:
                            - wilderness levels and dungeon levels stored in single array of size max_wild + max_depth
                            - one coordinate: depth
                            - base town in the middle of the map with one dungeon (depth 0 and positive)
                            - wilderness spiraling from town with an increasing depth (negative)
                            - players always starting in base town

                            Next system:
                            - wilderness levels stored in a bidimensional array of size size_wild * size_wild
                            - dungeon levels stored in a single array of size max_depth for each wilderness level
                            - three coordinates: world_x, world_y, depth (world_z)
                            - base town location specified in wild_info.txt with the main dungeon
                            - flat wilderness with innate depth specified in wild_feat.txt
                            - starting town location specified in wild_info.txt

                            The final goal is to have multiple locations defined wild_info.txt, some with only a static level/town, some with variable sized dungeons.

                              Seems to me storing levels makes more sense per player than per grid region. MxN gets big fast. But the number of players should be more or less constant.
