=== 200.20: We've posted an update on the beta branch. ===
* We made some changes to liquid and liquid pool behavior.
Released on March 6th, 2020 (beta branch).
* 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.
=== 200.20 (beta branch) ===

* [modding] The ability of NPCs to repair, recharge, and identify artifacts in the trade screen is no longer controlled by the CanRepair, CanRecharge, and CanIdentify properties. Instead, it's determined by the relevant tinkering skills. (Repair enables the repair action, Tinker I enables recharge, and Gadget Inspector enables identify, with Tinker II, Tinker III, Intelligence modifier, and any relevant equipment contributing to identification performance.)

If a faction is specified in both lists, the final relationship is dislike.

* [modding] There's now a general architecture for altering the results of saving throws. The object making the save has the ModifyDefendingSave fired on it, and if applicable, the attacking object causing the save to take place has ModifyAttackingSave fired on it. The attacker's event is fired first. Each has the following parameters:
** Defender -- the object making the save
** Attacker -- an entity intentionally causing the save to take place, if any
** Stat -- the string name of the statistic whose modifier provides the defender with a bonus to their save. Specify a comma-separated list and the highest value is used.
** AttackerStat -- like Stat but checked on the attacker and increasing the save's difficulty
** Vs -- a string characterizing the save. Examples include "Stun", "Stinger Injected Paralysis Poison", "Glotrot Disease Onset". Typically this field is used with .Contains() to scope save modifiers to their desired context.
** NaturalRoll -- an int, the defender's original 1d20 roll for the save
** Roll -- an int, the roll after modifications. Changes to this parameter by either event are taken into account by the saving throw check.
** BaseDifficulty -- an int, the original difficulty of the save
** Difficulty -- an int, the difficulty after modifications. Changes to this parameter by either event are taken into account by the saving throw check.
* [modding] Added a new part, SaveModifier, that modifies the defending saving throws of its parent item's equipper. It's an IPoweredPart and has that class's fields, with the following defaults: ChargeUse = 0, IsEMPSensitive = false, and WorksOnEquipper = true. (If WorksOnSelf = true, this part properly modifies the saves of its parent item. Other WorksOn field behaviors may or may not work.) Its own fields are:
** 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
