[modding] There's now a general architecture for altering the results of saving throws. The object making the save has the ModifyDefendingSave fired on it, and if applicable, the attacking object causing the save to take place has ModifyAttackingSave fired on it. The attacker's event is fired first. Each has the following parameters:
- Defender -- the object making the save
- Attacker -- an entity intentionally causing the save to take place, if any
- Stat -- the string name of the statistic whose modifier provides the defender with a bonus to their save. Specify a comma-separated list and the highest value is used.
- AttackerStat -- like Stat but checked on the attacker and increasing the save's difficulty
- Vs -- a string characterizing the save. Examples include "Stun", "Stinger Injected Paralysis Poison", "Glotrot Disease Onset". Typically this field is used with .Contains() to scope save modifiers to their desired context.
- NaturalRoll -- an int, the defender's original 1d20 roll for the save
- Roll -- an int, the roll after modifications. Changes to this parameter by either event are taken into account by the saving throw check.
- BaseDifficulty -- an int, the original difficulty of the save
- Difficulty -- an int, the difficulty after modifications. Changes to this parameter by either event are taken into account by the saving throw check.
[modding] Added a new part, SaveModifier, that modifies the defending saving throws of its parent item's equipper. It's an IPoweredPart and has that class's fields, with the following defaults: ChargeUse = 0, IsEMPSensitive = false, and WorksOnEquipper = true. (If WorksOnSelf = true, this part properly modifies the saves of its parent item. Other WorksOn field behaviors may or may not work.) Its own fields are:
- Vs -- a string with a comma-separated list of strings. If a saving throw's 'Vs' value contains any of them, this part's Amount modifier applies to the saving throw. If null or empty, this part applies to all saves. When one of the list items contains spaces, each space-separated item is matched separately, and all of them must match. Example: If SaveModifier.Vs = "Injected Poison", it will match against a ModifyDefendingSave.Vs of "Stinger Injected Confusion Poison" but not "Contact Damaging Poison".
- Amount -- an int, the amount the part modifies saves by

+** We renormalized the volumes of all the puddles, pools, and rivers in the game. Swim-depth pools (over 2000 drams) are now much more rare.
+** Added a new status effect: wading. You now wade through pools of size 200-2000 drams. Wading gives -20 movespeed and interferes with some forms of movement, including sprinting.
+** Entering a swim-depth pool from land now displays a warning message and requires you to confirm movement.

-** Some liquids now weigh more than others.
-** Creatures moving through big pools of liquid now track the liquid around.

-** Pools smaller than the swimming threshold (1,000 drams) now use a different tile set.
-** Small puddles now evaporate over time.
-** Aquatic creatures now receive a -25 penalty to movespeed instead of the full -50. (The Swimming skill's +25 bonus offsets this penalty.)

-* Added a black outline to the overlay XP and HP readout numbers.
-* Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the penalties from the Engulfed status effect from being removed when the effect wore off.
-* [modding] We added a markup layer to our text coloring system. Example: {{red|this text will be red}}. This lets us treat color specification as a stack, so that text's color can be reset to the previously specified color at the end of a block. (Previously, we would try to emulate this behavior by resetting color to default grey [&y], but grey wasn't always the last specified color.) The markup layer also supports shaders that apply color patterns to text blocks. Color names and shaders are defined in a new moddable file, Colors.xml.
-* [modding] Added a "beguile" wish that forces the target into your party.
-* [modding] Med names may now be extended by applying the [MedNamesExtension] attribute and implementing the IMedNamesExtension { int Priority(); void OnInitializeMedNames( List<string> medNames ); } interface.
