New Implementations
-----------------------
- Added the ability to "Bandy" with other players. If you bandy with someone you open a shared inventory with that character, to which both of you can dump, and from which both of you can take, items. If either of you walk away the window will close. If the window closes for any reason, all items in it will scatter. Suggested here.
- Added "Reindeer", creature. Will make these possible to domesticate at some point.
- Added "Irrlantern", lantern made from Irrlights. Can't be put out, but burns for about 2RL weeks. Suggested here.
- Added one new experience.
Key Fixes
-----------------------
- Made it so that you now, when travelling down a mineshaft, crime check against both the claim above ground and against potential claims below ground, this in order to prevent situations where you, due to a visitor debuff, can travel down a mineshaft, but not back up again. Also made it so that you get a "free" trespass, akin to how charter stones have always worked, whenever traveling onto a claim through a mineshaft, cave entrances/exits, or by road.
- The quest pointer now changes both graphically and in terms of tooltip to indicate that a quest giver is underground, as soon as you get close enough that you would otherwise have seen the quest giver. Implicitly suggested by a million bug reports, and here.
- Changed the mine support removal rules so that, whenever a mine support is removed, all tiles under it are checked for unstable mine tiles. If there are unstable tiles within range, which are now, with the removal of the mine support, unsupported, the removal will cause a cave in. This means that you can now tear down mine supports without cave ins, if you still have proper support around it. Suggested here.
Small Fixes
-----------------------
- Tame horses should have less inclinations to attack archers on their own accord when provoked by arrows. Suggested here.
- Fixed a bug with sketches being applied weirdly when applied to the internal doors of great halls. Reported in PM.
- Increased internal size of Wicker Picker by one row and one column. Not sure that actually makes it useful, but lacking ideas for how to actually and properly balance it against traveler's sacks.
- Einherjer aspect now gives 25% ancestor bonus, rather than 20%.
- Fresh foxhide is now called Fresh, rather than Raw. Reported here.
- Fixed a bug by which barrel excess could be destroyed when transferring seeds. Reported here.
- Fixed a bug by which full strawbaskets had dropped an animation. Reported here and here.
- Increased decay timer on easter eggs.
- Made it so that Battle Standards can, samurai style, be worn in the cape or backpack slots.
