Changelog

* The TIME printout includes a more specific indication of the hourly time.
* Fixed a bug with washing from the last bit of water in a container.
* VNPCs talking for rumors should no longer speak in None Nones, but in a local accent.
* A bug fixed with wagering at the brawling club (house gains were not increasing with VNPC wagering, but now they should be doing so properly).
* Brawling club rankings have been repaired (the current champ had a glitch with having one buggy fight in their history counted more than 17800 times).
* The non-functional painting abilities of SKETCH and PAINT have been finished and are now functional. There is a new HELP PAINT file, but it's still a work-in-progress.
* Starting a written work with double asterisks should turn it into a little bit of descriptive text that does not necessitate linguistic proficiency to see while reading.
* The DIP ability has been edited to work with paintbrushes and palettes, as well as quills and ink.

* It should be possible now to clean off washable decorations on objects (like graffiti, as long as it's done in a washable way).
* Fixed a bug with slapping caught fish.
* Workers will now have their pay docked for 3 months rather than immediately being terminated for failing at a job dice check.
* A consciousness check will now trigger a 1-minute warning before someone actually loses consciousness, and bouts of unconsciousness will allow someone to return to awareness much sooner afterward (5 minutes, as long as they're not afflicted by a coma).

* Fixed some job-payment glitches.
* If you try to build a fire and there's already a fire in the room, now you'll just build your firewood into that hearth or firepit rather than set up a new campfire.
* You can no longer teach yourself languages, nor inanimate objects.

* Broken bones should now properly display how long ago they were broken, when diagnosed.
* Dead creatures can no longer be coaxed to sip medicine or water, and no longer cause conflict regarding approaches.
* After confirming that you seed a rumor, your rumor-to-be-seeded will be cleared.
* 'Light firewood' and 'light bundle' now function as aliases to try to build a campfire, to try to help that be more intuitive -- and, once you build a campfire, you automatically try to light it.
* You can now target your foraging more specifically, past the category. Previously you could FIND PLANT, but now you can FIND CARROT PLANT
* You can now forage for grubs in most places. Some more forageable items have been added to special locations.
* The 'foraging-awareness' ability has been added to level 2 foraging, which will allow foragers to see all that might be forageable in an area.
* A new HELP FORAGING file has been added.

* Bundling firewood can now either take 10 twigs, 2 sticks, or 1 branch.
* Jobs should now pay out on the 12th and 25th each month, and the time cycle has been refactored somewhat in the hope of this... actually working properly.
* No more traceback when looking at the tracks of something that has been killed.
* You can no longer check tracks without roundtime, or without being awake.
* New arena characters, as the old ones were glitching out due to some unpatched changes.
* Fuel amounts for lightable objects shouldn't go below zero anymore, and should display properly.

* It should now be possible to read in-game help files while not logged into a character.
* The slaughterhouse in St Loomis will now only buy venison, beef, mutton, and chicken.
* There is now a cultivated variety of garden carrot, which means that planting carrot seeds should work!
* ARRANGE should work again now.

* Foxes have been made smaller. They were 200-500 pounds?!?!?! D: (Thanks for this report pof Maha.)
* Added boots, ankle boots, tudor, hooded greatcloak, and bonnet to tailor patterns. (Also fixed that 'patchwork furs' traceback that some people saw when ordering custom designs, and a generic description for 'tudor' has been added now.)

* Fixed a reputation-fading problem.
* Some issues with environment settings and exits have been fixed around the docks and lighthouse area of St Loomis (you might notice if you move around there a lot, people were 'appearing with flashes' and weird stuff. Please report if you notice anything like that anywhere!)
* New tailoring passive ability: leather-sewing. This allows tailors to sew garments that require leather.
* A new facet of complexity added to cooking in order to deal with the conflict between an item's name and the flavor it grants to a dish. New ingredients should now render better-worded dishes (and if not, go ahead and bug report)! For example, cooking bread from barley flour should give you barley bread instead of 'rounded nuttiness bread', while the taste of it might still be rounded nuttiness.
* When you cook something, you should be handling it now rather than it being on the floor.

* Room rental fees will no longer be snatched from your bank account as well as paid physically, but you can arrange for the rent payment to happen automatically from your bank every month if you wish, by going to your lodging clerk and using RENT PAY AUTO.
* There's now an economic limit to the amount someone can make gambling at a fighting pit at a time. (The house has winnings that increase with every fight, and can't cover more than what they own.)

* 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!

* CHECK LODGING should work again, and will also tell you how much you can expect to pay for the lodging.
* It's now possible to wield very low-weight items with any sort of strength.
* 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). The 'glue' ability is also dropped to level 1 education skill.
