* We refreshed the banana grove.

* [modding] The GivesRep part now acknowledges the properties or tags NoHateFactions and NoFriendFactions, where you can specify comma-separated lists of factions that the NPC is never disliked by or admired by, respectively. If a relationship to a faction specified in NoHateFactions is generated, it defaults to a friendly relationship. Likewise, if a friendly relationship to a faction specified in NoFriendFactions is generated, it defaults to a dislike relationship. If a faction is specified in both lists, the final relationship is dislike.

* [modding] The LiquidVolume part now has the fields Sealed (a boolean which, if true, makes the liquid inaccessible), ManualSeal (a boolean that enables seal and unseal inventory actions on the item), and LiquidVisibleWHenSealed (a boolean which, when true, means the liquid can be seen while the volume is sealed; if false it cannot).

* We added furniture to Joppa and Kyakukya.

* We made Tam, dromad merchant, better able to defend himself.

* TravelClass -- a string used to specify a skill name, like the TravelClass attribute on terrain objects, so that the part only applies to travel in that skill's specified terrain.

* ShowInShortDescription -- a boolean for whether the part appends its behavior to the item's short description, defaults to true.

* Added some furniture to Grit Gate and Bethesda Susa.

* You can now properly equip ape fur gear bought from Svenlainard.

* 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

* Added a new item: rocket skates.

* Added a new music track to generated villages.

* [modding] EncounterTables.xml now supports <single /> tag XML elements.

* [modding] Encounter tables can now have <population Table="PopTableName" /> nodes that generate content from the specified population table.

* *We changed the way we calculate AV and DV from equipment across similar body parts.

* *Previously, creatures always received AV and DV modifiers from equipment equipped on any body part that was part of their original body plan. Body parts added later (e.g., via mutations such as Multiple Legs) were treated differently; equipment equipped on these parts didn't have their AV and DV modifiers factored into the creature's final AV and DV calculations. This approach generally worked well until a recent patch where we added more realistic body plans for several creature types. The old system gave creatures with several natural body parts (e.g., spiders and crabs) an unintended advantage; they could stack AV or DV simply by equipping a bunch of armor to their limbs. For example, a spider could stack AV by equipping four sets of steel boots. We changed the calculation to be more simulative. Now, AV and DV modifiers are averaged across all similar body parts. The example spider now has the AV and DV modifiers from its Feet equipment averaged over all four sets of feet.

* *[modding] Added a RealityDistortionBased flag to several mutations. Use it to control whether a mutation's effects are interdicted by astral tethering. Mutations affected: Clairvoyance, Precognition, Psychometry, Sense Psychic, Telepathy, Domination, Sunder Mind, Syphon Vim, and Beguiling. The flag is on by default for Clairvoyance, Precognition, and Psychometry.

* *[modding]Added a new part, DeploymentMaintainer, for items. It is an IPoweredPart and has the inherited properties. Its own properties include: Blueprint (the blueprint of the objects it creates), Duration (how long the objects last, die roll, defaults to null i.e. permanent), Radius (integer radius it fills with objects, or -1 for every tile in the zone), Chance (the percentage chance a given tile will receive an object, defaults to 100), AtLeast (a minimum number of objects to try to deploy when Chance is in use, defaults to 0), MaintenanceInterval (the number of turns that must pass between attempts at maintaining the deployment, defaults to 10), UsabilityEvent (an event that must be successfully fired on the tile the item is in in order for the item to work, defaults to null i.e. none), AccessibilityEvent (an event that must be successfully fired on a given tile in its radius in order to deploy an object there, defaults to null i.e. none), ActiveMaintenance (whether objects deployed are actively maintained by the item and disappear if it is nonfunctional, defaults to true), RealRadius (whether to deploy in a circular radius rather than the usual engine "square radius"), BlockedBySolid (whether solid tiles block deployment, defaults to true), BlockedByNonEmpty (whether tiles must be "empty" for deployment, defaults to true), Seeping (whether BlockedBySolid use "seeping" logic where objects like stakes don't block), DustPuffEach (whether each deployed object generates a dust puff, defaults to false), NoXPValue (whether objects with XP value get it cleared out, defaults to true), and LinkRealityStabilization (whether to configure the deployment maintainer, which should have a RealityStabilization part, as an effect strength source on any RealityStabilization parts on deployed objects).

* New item: anti-gravity boots.

* Your clones no longer pass on their inspirations for meal ideas to you.

* Type: a string like "AntigravityBoots" used to differentiate the events used by different MechanicalWings parts. This facilitates having multiple sources of equipment-based flight.

* FlightSourceDescription: a string added to the display text of the Fly and Land abilities. Use it to differentiate between different types of equipment-based flight.

IPoweredPart is now a subclass of IActivePart with these defaults: ChargeUse = 1, IsBootSensitive = true, and IsEMPSensitive = true.
