* Couriers hopefully delivering things properly to inn rooms now.
* Bread should now be bread (at least, freshly-baked versions).
* The STOP command now takes a possible custom emote when used in a fight.

* Wild leeks are now distinguishable from cultivated leeks.
* You can now set work effort as part of lifestyle, with the command LIFESTYLE WORK . Job payroll will now check a dice roll for the work that could result in docked pay, a pay bonus, or termination. (These rolls will not be able to be faked.)

* There's a foraging shop in the St Loomis market square.
* Wild carrots now technically have roots to harvest, but it's not the right season for them.

* Added cultivated onions to the plant dictionary.
* Marsh environment type added, with wild celery forageable in Ensor -- but there are no marshes around St Loomis, so that's unhelpful to anybody!

* There is a new CONFIG option -- language_tags -- that will make language tags show all the time, and the 'analyze' ability has been dropped to basic literacy level (with the caveat that being able to analyze more specific details in the future may be gated behind higher education skill).

* Patched the old vicinities that were causing int/str errors.
* Hid error printing for jobs that have no errands.
* If you apply for a job and want to use dissembling as a fallback to lie about how well you can perform the job, you can use the FAKE APPLY command. This way job applications no longer automatically assume that if you fail the initial roll, you want to dissemble.

* Phase information has been changed to adapt to the new alpha location.
* You can no longer lay out objects to dehydrate (herbalism ability) in watery rooms, or in wet weather.

* Weight for wielded items has been reworked: it will now be more difficult to single-handedly wield a heavy weapon, and wielding a weapon takes more strength than simply holding it.
* Demographics should work again.
* Fixed looking into things that are closed. You can also no longer put stuff inside closed containers.
* Character generation sword weights decreased slightly: if you have a medium sword or great sword and want the weight decreased, please put in a petition!

* Dead animals hopefully shouldn't react anymore...
* If someone accidentally leaves out an OOCMail subject, it will be added in as 'No Subject'. '
* It's possible to see vandalism on a ship's map.
* WHERE reformatted slightly (more space for people).
* You can CONFIG a setting (available) in order to show yourself on where, even in a private location.

* Handful of bug-fixes, including looking at an empty page, looking at someone with an adverb from their sdesc, wounds trying to progress when uninjured, and tracebacks for investing Presence in a character who's not logged in.
* Sea bass should be catchable now.
* Stealth checks no longer broadcast to the person who might have a chance to see the stealth.
* The story catch-up information for newly-joining players has been updated.
* Memento memories will show in logs.

* Sleep avatars should no longer cost you roundtime when you approach their vicinity.
* Tightened up dice rolling messages, and hid tell-related dice results for even those with combat_ooc enabled.

* It's no longer possible to roll a zero for a stat point. The roll/check help fice has also been supplied with some better documentation of the command. Further, all of your rolls will now be echoed privately to you if you have the combat_ooc setting enabled. Rolling without a difficulty set will also give an indicator of whether that is a good roll or not.
* Fixed some issues with ship reorientation and the way that cached data operates on travel messages regarding the weather right after a ship changes zones.

* Fixed an issue with organizational guards blocking non-door exits.
* Fixed the bug where throwing heavy things nets you mortally-shattering injuries.

* Sea legs checks will now happen at varying difficulties in different turns of bad weather.
* Fixed climbing bug with run counter not ending.

* You can LEAN on people again.

* PC reputation has been made slightly more robust, with initial NPC reactions built in.
* Seagulls and crows added. Seagulls especially have very cool attacks, thanks to pof Ariziya.
* Animals posing for their random movements should no longer show as emotes.
