* We continued working on a big feature arc leading up to procedurally-generated histories for the past sultans of Qud. Historical objects like regions, locations, and items will eventually be incorporated into world generation, and important historical events will be depicted through the art and oral traditions of Qud's present inhabitants. Here are some examples of historical events.
** "At the Battle of Duazomor Mesh, Mehur Shwytep fought as a mercenary to liberate vines. He wielded a radiant axe with such prowess, that it became forever known as Radiantacus Vinesgift."

===November 3, 2016===
* We fixed portable wall and changed how it works.

* New UI: multiple-choice dialogs and popups are now navigable via the keyboard or gamepad.
* New UI: multiple-choice dialogs now respect hotkeys.
* Player names are now trimmed of whitespace. This means typing 'space' and pressing 'Enter' while naming your character now gives your character a random name.
* We made a few tweaks to the process of curing fungal infections.
** Leech corpses and bloated leech corpses now have distinct display names. This change means it's now clear which corpse is required for the fungal cure, hopefully eliminating the specific frustration of thinking you've cured your infection when you really haven't.
** Salt kraken corpses and worm of the earth corpses are no longer included as possible fungal cure components.
* We tweaked the position of the stairwell leading to the lower levels of Grit Gate again. We removed the stairwell added last week, and made the old stairwell in the upper-right corner of the map accessible once you complete the quest 'More Than a Willing Spirit'.
* Tinkers now start with freshwater.
* The empty glass bottles sold by ichor merchants now properly store liquids.
* Fixed a broken sand dune tile on the world map.

* Fixed the 'time-dilated' status effect from appearing multiple times in status descriptions.
* Updated the copyright date.
* Anthro and phytopologists of Qud are beginning to gain insight into the lives of the Sultans, Eaters who ruled Qud ages ago. Cultural artifacts have revealed factoids such as this one:
** "Near the location of Canontau, Yyroq Mon Mad was captured by bandits. He murdered their leader by writing him out of the annals of history, and was thenceforth known as Inkshouter."
===October 28, 2016===
* We refactored the population of ruins maps.

** Added buttons for increasing and decreasing the message log font size.
** Fixed some missing ASCII character mappings.
** Fixed some popup menus overflowing the screen.
* Reduced the number of mutation points granted by the Amphibious defect from 4 to 3.
* Fixed a big bug with movespeed calculation. Getting your movespeed above 100 now properly makes you move faster.
* Things with brains no longer catch on fire when standing in the same tile as a campfire.
* Let's say you mentally dominate a baboon, level up, and want to buy some skills for your baboon friend/thrall. Previously, based on the way NPC attributes were calculated, sometimes you couldn't purchase the skill even if your thrall had the prerequisite attributes. Now you can.
* Tusks are no longer a substitute for horns. After all, tusks are teeth.
* 1-point mutationts are no longer included in the choices when you buy a mutation.

* Renamed the fungal jungle to The Rainbow Wood in the sidebar and message log.
* Added salt pool and asphalt pool objects. Their absence was causing [empty] liquids to appear.
* Fixed an issue with displaying of Warden Indrix's dialog.
* Fixed an exception with arconaut and Mechanimist pilgrim shopping behavior.
* Fixed a bug with domination that was causing maps to be remain and memory, leading to a slow but crushing memory leak.

** Slightly lowered the cost of Corpus Choliys.
* When someone in a party kills a monster, they now gain XP based on their level, not the level of the creature that struck the killing blow. This change means that your lower-leveled followers, like beguiled creatures, gain XP at the correct rate.
* Dominated creatures now gain XP.
* The unstable genome mutation picker is now scrollable and displays details for each mutation option.
