* We did a bunch more work on the cooking framework and design. We plan to put a version up on the beta branch, probably next week.
* Saved games are now output to a temp file until the save is complete. This means that save files are much less likely to get corrupted if there's a crash while saving.

* Fixed an issue causing outdated true kin character codes to crash the game.
* Fixed an issue that caused a clone of Otho to be created when it shouldn't have been.
* Fixed an issue with achievements that prevented books from being read.
* NPCs with multiple cybernetic implants installed now only have their names modified with the 'implanted' adjective once.
* Fixed an issue that caused all merchants to improperly be able to recharge cells, instead of only those with the ability to.

LicensesAtLeast specifies the minimum number of license points worth of implants the creature will be generated with. Ex: <part Name="Cybernetics2HasRandomImplants" ImplantChance="25" ImplantTable="Cybernetics4" LicensesAtLeast="6"></part>
===September 8, 2017===

** Randomly generated true kin now occasionally start with no cybernetics.
** Reduced the movespeed bonus from motorized treads from +100 to +50. The new bonus means you'll move twice as quickly as you do with 100 movespeed (each point above 100 reduces the energy cost of moving by 1%). This was the intended behavior all along.

===September 1, 2017===
* We replaced the old cybernetics system with a newer, much more elaborate one.
** Cybernetics are still only available to true kin.
** We added dozens of new cybernetic implants.
** Implants are installed onto body parts at cybernetic terminals called 'becoming nooks'. Potential body parts include: head, face, body, back, arm, hands and feet. Unlike old implants, these new implants do not occupy equipment slots.
** A few implants actually do occupy equipment slots.
** You can view your installed implants on the new Cybernetics tab of the Equipment screen. The tab doesn't appear if you have no implants installed.
** Implants must be identified before you can install them.
** Only one implant can be installed per body part.
** Some implants can be installed on one of several body parts.
** Each implant has a license point cost associated with it. The total number of license points across all your installed implants can't exceed your license tier.
** True kin start with a license tier of 2. You can upgrade your license tier at a becoming nook by spending cybernetic credits.
** You can install and uninstall implants freely at a nook, as long as you remain at or below your license tier.
** Uninstalled implants go into your inventory. Some implants are destroyed when uninstalled, however. Other implants can't be uninstalled. All this info is in the implant's description.
** When installing implants at a becoming nook, the implants must either be in your inventory or the nook's rack.
** There are some preset becoming nooks in the game. They also have the chance to appear in certain types of procedurally-generated ruins. Becoming nooks usually have implants in their nook racks.
** Implants themselves can also appear as rare loot.
** Per the Eaters' architecturally tastes, becoming nooks are usually found along side statues of implanted Eaters.
** Most cybernetic credit wedges are now placed in preset locations throughout the world, but they also can appear as very rare loot.
** True kin can pick one implant from a subset of the implants to start with at character creation.
** The list of starting implants includes generic ones and a unique implant for each arcology only available to characters from that arcology.
** Added a new journal category: Ruins with Becoming Nooks.
** Some factions, but especially the Putus Templar, now share the locations of ruins with becoming nooks as secrets.
** Balanced the Templar's water ritual credit wedge gift for the new system.
** Added a whole bunch of minor stuff in support of this patch.

===August 4, 2017===
* We're trying out a change to how Willpower works. It now modifies the cooldowns of all activated abilities, not just mental mutations. Each point of Willpower above 16 decreases cooldowns by 5%, down to a minimum 20% of the original cooldown or a minimum 5 rounds. Likewise, each point of Willpower below 16 increases cooldowns by 5%.
* We reduced the power level of Freezing Hands and (to a lesser degree) Flaming Hands.

** Axe: The Cleave penalty is now capped at half your strength mod, rounded up.
** Short blade: Shank's cooldown is now 10 rounds if you shank from your primary hand. It's still 20 otherwise.
** Short Blade Proficiency now grants +1 to hit and you make primary-hand short blade attacks as if your quickness were 25% higher. This means you make five attacks for every four that your normal-speed opponents make. These faster primary-hand attacks can trigger offhand attacks.
** Long Blade: Reduced Improved Aggressive Stance's to-hit penality from -4 to -3.
* New weapon mod: masterwork. Masterwork weapons score critical hits twice as often.
* Added a new tile and flame animation for great magma crabs.

* Fixed a bug that caused the critical hit target to change from 20 when you were charging.
* Fixed a bug that caused the critical hit target to sometimes change when using a missile weapon.
* Fixed some cases where NPCs' strength modifiers were used to determine the difficulty of dodging their projectiles.
* Fixed an issue where creature AI wouldn't get mad at you when you used a combat power and missed with it.
* Fixed the journal getting unbound when you reset to default keybindings.
* Fixed an issue that caused the system menu to pop up when you escaped the inventory screen in the new UI.
* Fixed some cases where abilities allowed you to attack phased creatures.
* [modding] Changed the event parameter names for PerformMeleeAttack to "Attacker" and "Defender".
* [modding] Refactored the 'PenHitBonus' parameter in Combat events to use the 'PenCapBonus' and 'HitBonus' parameters instead.
* [modding] Moved the chance to trigger Jab (the Short Blade power) into an attacker based event.
* [modding] The AttackerGetWeaponPenModifier event now allows modification of the attack's PenBonus and CapBonus.
* [modding] Refactored melee combat so that the chance to perform an offhand attack with robo-hands or the Multiple Arms mutation resides in the AttackerQueryWeaponSecondaryAttackChanceMultiplier event, allowing for similar behavior via mods.
===June 2, 2017===
* We tightened up the logic governing which bonuses you get from equipment that's equipped on secondary appendages, such as a second head or second pair of arms.
** You don't get AV or DV from equipment that's equipped on a secondary appendage, but you do get other bonuses, such as +resistances or +stats. This is the same logic as before, but it works more consistently now.
** Secondary appendages are now marked with a grey 'x' on the equipment screen in the original UI (but not yet the new UI).
** Almost always, a secondary appendage corresponds to a second (or third, or fourth) copy of an existing appendage, denoted with '(2)' in the appendage name. The exception is if a creature with no arms, say, gets its first set of arms; those arms will be secondary.
** Hands (2) no longer appears before Hands in the new equipment screen UI.
* Updated the display names of animated walls, doors, and tables.
* Added the possibility of encountering legendary animated walls, doors, or tables.
* Gave legendary animated furniture appropriate proper names based on whether they're walls, doors, or tables.
* Newly sentient beings, such as animated walls, doors, and tables, can now remind you what it's like to be a child when you share water with them.
* Found and fixed a major contributor to late-game memory issues.
* If you somehow end up as a merchant, your inventory no longer restocks with merchant wares, obliterating the items in your existing inventory as a side effect.
* Removed the mod tier from the display names of flaming, freezing, and electrified mods.
* Clarified that flaming, freezing, and electrifying effects happen on hit, not penetration.
* We fixed some issues with melee combat.
** Charge now properly applies its penetration bonus.
** Horns now uses its mutation level to determine its to-hit bonus instead of your Agility modifier.
** When you have Helping Hands equipped and you attack with empty robo-fists, they use Helping Hands' flat Strength score of 23 instead of your own strength score.
** Fixed an issue where sprinting didn't properly apply melee to-hit penalties.
** Removed the vestigial HitDice property from melee weapons.
* Fixed some issues causing flickering between fullscreen and windowed mode when the in-game options and the launcher options didn't match.
* We made some additional changes to melee combat balance in a beta branch on Steam. If you'd like to help us test these changes, right-click on Caves of Qud in Steam, select Properties, click the Betas tab, and switch to the 'beta' branch. (Thanks!) The changes are listed below.
** Some penetration bonuses on weapons were bugged, such as the +1 and +2 bonuses axes and cudgels got, respectively. We fixed these bugs, but we removed the axe and cudgel bonuses since they're part of an older design. Instead, we replaced them with different critical hit behavior for each weapon class.
** Cudgels now get +1 penetration and daze on critical hits.
** Axes now get +1 penetration and cleave on critical hits.
** Long blades now get +3 penetration on critical hits.
** Daggers now get +1 penetration and cause bleeding on critical hits.
** We tweaked all melee weapon stats to account for these changes.

===May 5, 2017===
This week, we're introducing two new feature arcs that have been in development for a few months. The first is the Journal. As you play Caves of Qud, you accumulate a bounty of knowledge. We added a journal that tracks important locations you discover, gossip and lore you come across, historical snippets you learn about ancient sultans, and your character�s chronology. You can also add your own notes to the journal and keep track of interesting places on the world map.
The second is the Water Ritual. The reputation system lets you befriend any of Qud�s sixty plus factions by treating with or slaying faction leaders. We expanded the rewards for earning high reputation and gave more cultural texture to the process by adding the water ritual, a custom based on sharing precious fresh water with a faction leader to secure a bond with their kinfolk. When you engage in the water ritual with a faction leader, you can spend reputation to learn secrets that get logged in your journal, earn rewards specific to that faction, or recruit the leader to your party.
The details are below.
* We added the journal. By default, it's bound to 'Y'.
** The journal has five tabs.
*** Locations.
**** The locations tab lists locations you learn about in game, categorized by type.
**** When you learn a new location, it'll appear in this tab. You can learn locations by finding them yourself or by learning about them via another method, like the water ritual.
**** When you go to the world map, there's a marker on the worldmap tile that's home to the location. The description of the worldmap tile includes all the location notes it contains.
**** The alt display on the worldmap shows an alternate icon for locations with notes.
**** You can toggle off the worldmap markers for a category by hitting Tab on the Locations tab.
**** When you enter into a category, you see all the locations of that category and their distance in parasangs to the nearest landmark. 1 parasang = 1 worldmap tile.
**** You can hit Tab or Space on a specific location to track it on the worldmap. When a location is tracked, it appears green and flashing.
**** You can enter your own notes on the Locations tab by typing +. Your notes appear under the Miscellaneous category.
**** You can delete notes with -.
*** Gossip and Lore. Currently, this tab contains any gossip you learn through the course of the game. Gossip is a type of secret that you can learn during the water ritual. See notes on the water ritual below.
*** Sultan Histories. When you reveal a secret about a sultan, it appears in this tab categorized by the sultan's name. As you reveal more secrets, they'll appear in chronological order.
*** Chronology. This tab tracks the narrative of your character's life. This is the same chronology that appears in your death summary. You can add or deleted player-added entries by typing + or -.
*** General Notes. Use this tab to add any additional notes you'd like. Example: "I hate the crab."
** As part of the conversion of character knowledge to journal entries, we refactored world generation and the location discovery process. When you discover a special location, such as a ruined site, historic site, goatfolk village, lair, merchant, pig farm, super secret location, etc, it'll be added to your journal now.
** If you descend from the worldmap to a tile with a location note, you have the option to descend directly to that location.
** Added procedurally-generated names for goatfolk villages and ruined sites.
* We added the water ritual and removed the Offer Gift power.
** You begin the water ritual through conversation with a faction leader. You'll know faction leaders by the backstory relationships they have with other factions when you look at them.
** You start the ritual by sharing 1 dram of (usually) water with the faction leader. If you do, you gain 100 reputation with the leader's faction, and you gain or lose reputation with factions that like or dislike the leader, respectively.
** Once you're engaged in the water ritual, you have several options. Here are some of the common ones.
*** Share a secret.
**** Depending on the types of secrets this faction is interested in, you may be able to share a secret with the leader. Check out the right column of the Reputation screen to see what types of secrets each faction is interested in trading. Potentially sharable secrets include anything in the Locations, Gossip and Lore, or Sultan Histories tabs of your journal. If a leader is interested in your secrets, you'll get a choice of a few to share. If you share one, you get reputation with the faction leader. Each leader only has a certain amount of bonus reputation they can give you toward their faction.
**** You can only share each secret once. Once you do, it's out in the world.
**** You can't share a secret with the faction you learned it from. Who you learned each secret from and who you shared it with are listed in your journal.
*** Learn a secret. The leader shares a secret with you. The type of secret depends on the faction.
*** Share gossip. Factions tend to want to hear gossip about themselves. If you have some, they'll reward you with extra reputation.
*** Learn a skill. Faction leaders can teach certain skills in exchange for reputation.
*** Join the party. In exchange for a lot of rep, most leaders are willing to join your party.
*** Special (oooo). Some factions have special rewards.
** Added a new skill: Customs & Folklore.
*** Tactful (150 sp, 19 int): Whenever you start the water ritual with a new creature, you get an extra 25 reputation.
*** Trash Divining (150 sp, 21 int): Whenever you rifle through trash, there's a 5% chance you piece together clues and discover a random secret.
** Lowered starting reputation with the villagers of Joppa and Fellowship of Wardens.
* Some other notes:
** Changed the logic for finding directions. Now, only humanoid creatures can give you directions if you're lost.
** Fixed an issue with the new input manager not detecting gamepad stick x-axis movement properly.
** Fixed an OSX launch issue.
** Fixed a rare exception instantiating Sheba Hagadias.
* There are countless details; we're sure we're forgetting to mention a few. Play around and explore for yourself. Live and drink!
