*** You get no XP for kills.
*** You get more XP for discoveries, completing quests, and performing the water ritual. This amount scales with your level.
** You can't change your game mode once you start a game.

** Objects now become coated in liquid more easily, and they also lose their liquid coatings more easily.
** Liquid coating now bestows additional weight onto items.
** Some liquids now weigh more than others.
** Creatures moving through big pools of liquid now track the liquid around.
** Footwear now protects you from being affected by small pools of liquid.
** Swimming is now a status effect that penalizes movespeed and prevents creatures from taking move-related actions that require footing.
** 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.)
** Pathfinding now puts more weight toward pathing around large pools of liquids, even less deadly ones.

* 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.
