New Implementations
-----------------------
- Added "Bundles". Some items -- presently: Bugs, Fish, Hides, Raw Meat, Boughs, Branches, Flowers, Metal Nuggets and Nuts -- can be combined into a "Bundle". Bundles are effectively little containers for the relevant item type. To create a bundle, simply hold one such type of item, and right-click another. Barter Stands will always sell items in bundles, rather than bundles as such. Bundles can be dropped as such, but removing the last item from a bundle will make it disappear. Feel free to suggest additions or changes.
- Added "Pockets". There is now a set of 7 pockets which can be used to gild various pieces of gear. Each pocket extends your base inventory by some amount of extra squares. Do note that this allows for the creation of non-column/row complete player inventories.
- Added "Barter Area"s. Right-Clicking a Giving or Taking hand from a Barter Stand allows you to designate an area from/to which to draw/put items in barter transactions. We imagine that the implementation could eventually replace the somewhat clunky and imprecise Barter Poles, but the latter haven't been deprecated yet. The stands will draw from/put in any containers in the area designated, much like Barter Poles have historically allowed stands to use containers within their radius.
Key Fixes
-----------------------
- Reworked equipped container items slightly (Wicker Pickers, Belts, Creels). They can now be picked up and held on the cursor while containing things, and can also be dropped to the ground and placed in non-player inventories. The only restrictions placed upon them is that they cannot be opened while not equipped, and that they cannot be placed in player inventories.
Small Fixes
-----------------------
- If you play the chord Ctrl-Shift-RMB on a barrel containing some substance, you will attempt to draw as much as possible of the substance from the barrel, rather than the normal single unit Shift-RMB would give you. Would be really cool if these chords were documented somewhere in a tooltip, or w/e.
- Named Taking/Giving Barter Hands will now retain their names even if you re-"Connect" to draw a new hand from the stand. Note that this only works for hands named after this patch. Hand names persist over resetting the hands, basically.
As always, if you liked what we did here: Support the patch.

In the Pipe
-----------------------
- Back to work after the holidays since a while back, and pretty pumped for another year of development on H&H!
- Noted that the Barter Stands still could use a fair amount of love in terms of UI, Tooltips, Bug fixes, &c. May make another patch in the same space as this one.
- Again urging any custom client maker who wishes to stay relevant to get with the new rendering times. Support for the old resources will be dropped at some point.
- Our primary development direction is toward object-controlled-objects.
