· Significant rewrites of the projection and blows code.
· Remove another set of case statements: this time for describing item effects.
· A number of improvements to dungeon generation to allow map designers to improve specific dungeon designs. You can now create 'special' levels of various types, and use level and special room flags as a part of the dungeon zone set up. This allows a lot more granular control of dungeon architecture and special scenarios.

· Update class and race code to use new skills array.

· Got rid of commas in base dungeon names, since they looked wierd in dungeon knowledge
· descriptions
· Implemented #14001 (FR: "entering makes x, y inaccessible" in dungeon knowledge)

· a new level(e.g. just before reading WOR); RNG behaves well, recreating the same dungeon
· level from the backup savefile
· Disabled 'Cf' dump object descriptions, until they are rewritten, see dumps for how they
· are useless
· Bags only show their contents only once in 'Cf' dumps
· Made the blink and invisibility messages a bit less annoying
· Sort the locations at the 'travel to where?' prompt in order, and fix up the starting home locations.
· Reorder dungeon.txt.

· Updated the Mirkwood description, taking inspiration from the Anne version
· Fixed #13996 (do_cmd_save_bkp not reproducible when multihued breaks seed)
· Fixed #13994 (monster_level should be bounded by 99), but it was not so dangerous, after all

· caused e.g. by triggering do_cmd_save_bkp by displaying the travel menu

· remain
· Fixed #11333 (Item in grass destroyed by stair creation)

· !Lose Memories and objects draining CON now heal undead races (Men of Erech)

· e.g. animate objects spell
· Repaired some spell descriptions

· Fixed #12307 (Wrong home shown in the knowledge screen)
· A partial fix to #8412
· Reverted to the old randart power calculation, with all the bugs, to preserve randart

· not break compatibility, unless somebody moves from gold1 straight to gold3
· Finally removed the randart regeneration on load
· Added missing charisma restoration to a service (#13871)
· Bumped savefile version again to remove one of the invocations of do_randarts at load;
· fixed seed for old savefiles so that peoples' randart names don't change; the remaining
· invocation of do_randart means that randart power will still be out of sync if randart
· code changes
· Repaired an old bug, which resulted in artifact names and powers taken from the same
· trivial seed, always, regardless of recreated randarts
· The fix is a very ugly hack (#013873)

· It seems randarts were stuck at a particular seed forever and at the same time artifact
· lore was wiped out every new game
· No power to objects that have the pval stated in object.txt --- this makes the staves of
· summoning cheap instead of extra expensive

· unfortunately the quadratic pval costs make cheaper flags much more common,
· because more expensive stuff can't get into the 19/20 of the expected power;
· reduced this to 18/20, but still... for the same reason non-pval flags
· are very rare --- they can't fine tune to 18/20 by pvals or, deep down,

· Allow OS/X to compile again due to changes in use_sound introduced
· in the Angband porting work. This will undoubtedly break the OS/X menus.
· Workaround for Bug #13249 ] Crash on exit with show_itemlist on Windows.
