+Tomb-related notes
+* We added some polish to the [redacted] sequence that starts in Resheph's burial chamber.
+** Added some sound and visual effects.
+** Smoothed out some issues with engraving tomb murals.
+** Added ASCII versions of the tomb murals and other objects in the burial chamber.
+** Refreshed Herododicus's dialog.
+** Added descriptions for Herododicus, imperial sarcophagus, imperial reliquary, gilded marble from the sultanate of Resheph, mural median, and mural endcaps.
+** [very redacted]
+General notes
+* We made some changes to liquid and liquid pool behavior.
+** 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.
+* More autoexplore activities now respect the autoexplore options for ignoring easy and distant enemies.
+* Electromagnetic sensors and the following mutations now interrupt autoexplore and automove when you identify a hostile creature: Heightened Hearing, Heightened Smell, and Sense Psychic.
+* Autowalking on the worldmap now avoids the Rainbow Wood.
+* Autoexplore now passes through tiles that contain animated walls if those walls are in your party.
+* We changed the way acid damage is calculated. Exposure to either dilute acid or small acid pools now deals less damage.
+* Metal items now take quarter damage from acid.
+* Salty water now generates half as much steam when vaporized. Brackish water generates 90% as much.
+* Lacquered items now note in their descriptions that they repel liquids (this is behavior they always had).
+* Steam now only damages organic objects.
+* You can now retrieve items from owned containers that you put in them without triggering hostility.
+* The take-all command now skips the weight limit warning if you're already over your weight limit.
+* Lay Mine and Set Bomb now allow you to press escape from the explosive selection menu to abort the command.
+* Stairs, pits, and similar objects that represent open space can no longer be sucked into space-time vortices.
+* When you're selecting an item to equip from the equipment menu, items listed within a given category are now sorted in descending order by a rough utility evaluation. This sort method was there previously, but code was since introduced that disrupted it.
+* Colored text now displays more reliably across multiple lines in the text UI sidebar.
+* 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.
+* [modding] Fixed a bug that caused the JoppaWorldBuilderExtension and WorldBuilderExtension attributes to be ignored.
