Addressed to: Everyone
o A few abilities were overlooked when racial balance and equilibrium   
bonuses and penalties were reduced. As a result, the effects given by   
shrine celerity, swiftstripes, lightningstripes, and taintedlove have   
been reduced to their proper equivalents.                               
o Gods are now able to properly grant the Warlord power to order members
to let them declare order wars on behalf of the god.                    
o Splendour is now also usable as a keyword along with Splendor for the 
TAILORING verb.                                                         
o You can add an optional g or s to the end of REPORT LIST              
<skillsetname/guildname> to differentiate between skillset and guild in 
the case of the monk guilds.                                            
o Liveforest will not affect players who are out of phase or in similar 
conditions.                                                             
o Colourburst, Colourspray, and Colourmaelstrom (Glamours) will not     
cause afflictions after death if you die to it.                         
o You can no longer dismiss a beast while still mounted on it.
o The "unleash" verb for mages and druids' transcendent ability will    
keep looking for the right staff if you have more than one.             
o Fixed a bug where throwing objects like snowballs would not release   
your hands from wielding things.                                        
o Fixed a bug where things thrown would seem to come from the wrong     
direction.                                                              
o Tumbles and other delayed moves are now stopped by being put into     
suspended animation, liquid form, etc.                                  
o MAP will correctly reflect tapestries, illusory walls, and bubble     
pipes.                                                                  
o Perfect Fifth will prevent escape using Shadowdance Flight, Music     
Majorsixth, and Nature Flow.                                            
o Phantasms Phantomsphere should cure only outside the caster's demesne 
now.                                                                    
o You can no longer use domination skills to affect SETALIAS aliases and
SETTARGET variables.                                                    
o When you try to influence fae, Dandelion's puffs won't get in the way.
o Dreambodies can use the QWHO and BWHO verbs.
o Crowform won't cost mana, willpower, or power if used while it's      
already up.                                                             
o Demigods should gain grace when they phoenix as they would coming back
other ways.                                                             
o Those disguised as statues or trees can no longer gain experience if  
grouped with others who are bashing.                                    
o You can no longer headslam people while crucified or impaled on       
antlers.                                                                
o You can now ASK <tutor> ASCENDANCE and get an accurate response.
o Fixed another problem with fizzling paintings.
o Champion Rescue should correctly honor elevations.
o Mere mortals can no longer (temporarily) ascend to the havens.
o ISSUES will show an error message instead of a blank prompt if you    
have no pending issues.                                                 
o Fixed a large number of grammar, spelling, and diction errors.
o Arts Sketches have been revamped in several ways that should fix many
of the problems where statues, paintings, and figurines made from
sketches would not get correct descriptions. As a result:
----o The syntax to paint from sketches is now PAINT FROM SKETCH        
<sketch>.                                                               
----o The syntax to sculpt from sketches is now SCULPT STATUE|FIGURINE  
OF SKETCH <sketch>.
----o If you need multiple sketches, they must be identical. Sketches of
different-colored inferno beetles, or of Nejii in different genders,
won't work.
----o Sketches will now decay even in stockrooms, if they don't have    
Master                                                                  
Sketch Seals.
----o Paintings, statues, and figurines made from sketches with Master
Sketch Seals will now last 50% longer.
----o Using old sketches should now correctly show the subject as they  
were when the sketch was made, not as the subject is at the time the 
artwork is made.
----o Art made from sketches should never come up with a generic        
description anymore.
Enjoy!
