When travel destination is one step away the code stops probing
for a path and reverts to normal movement, but it wasn't handling
the case where the one step was an impossible diagonal except for
hero being a grid bug. If the situation was a diagonal that's
too narrow to squeeze through, travel would end and regular move
would fail.
I've rejected the suggested fix and done it differently, without
attempting to figure out why the change to end_running() would
have been wrong. Clearly it was code that called end_running()
which needed to be fixed.
The test case was
..x|.
..|@.
.....
while carrying enough that directly moving from '@' to 'x' will
not be allowed. '@' would move one step south west and then stop
because findtravelpath() had ended travel due to single step move.
A similar case is
###
|x-#-
|0@.|
where 'x' is a doorway with intact open door and '0' is a boulder.
Prior to this fix, player would get "a boulder blocks the way" and
not move. After, '@' will move northeast then northwest then west
to get into orthogonal position and finally south into the doorway.
Even though it definitely fixes both mentioned test cases, I won't
be surprised if this results in regressions for other situations.
Requesting a lookup of "arc ranks" or "wizard ranks" will show a
list of the rank titles and the experience levels that use them
for the specified role. Looking up a specific rank title such
as "curator" works for many of them, but some such as "wizard"
already match existing entries and continue to do so. There is
just a bare list of the titles with the levels they apply to, no
attempt at flavor text.
Also, add a lookup key for "novel" and "paperback book" which
have been yielding the "no match" result. It lists all 41 of
the Discworld titles. Again, just a bare list, no added flavor.
These all look ok on tty, curses, Qt (which watches for any line
containing four consecutive spaces while collecting the text to
be displayed and switches to fixed-width font if it is sees that),
and X11 (which specifies fixed-width font for popup text windows
in default NetHack.ad file). It might not look good on Windows
GUI if that is using a proportional font.
Change how menu choice 'A' (auto-select everything) works. It will
now auto-select all things that match any other choices (object
class(es) or BUCX state(s) or possibly unpaid status). So it still
skips the second menu of specific objects. And it still picks all
objects when it is the only choice or if player uses '.' to select
it along with all the rest of the first menu's possibilities.
This change won't help anyone who picks 'A' without really meaning
to. (Maybe add a paranoid_confirm setting to for full-menu-A?)
Affects container apply/#loot and Drop-multiple. The invent.c part
is just formatting.
Change Trollsbane versus troll corpse revival: instead of revival
failing if Trollsbane is wielded at time of revival attempt, mark
the corpse no-revive if killed by Trollsbane (whether by the hero
or a monster).
If a no-revive corpse is within view when time to revive occurs,
give "the troll corpse twitches feebly" even when the hero isn't
responsible. That used to only apply if the hero zapped the
corpse with undead turning, which would have become inoperative
because now being zapped by undead turning clears the no-revive
flag and revives as normal. In other words, undead turning magic
overrides killed-by-Trollsbane or non-ice troll having been in an
ice box.
Report states that the dungeon overview menu doesn't honor the
'menu_headings' option. However, dungeon overview is not a menu.
Despite that, switch its hardcoded use of bold and inverse to use

gets used. If someone wants different highlighting for overview
than for menus, they're out of luck.
fix github issue #483 - map display while engulfed
Report raises two issues:
1) if you perform magic mapping while engulfed (or underwater) the
map got updated and player could view it with cursor+autodescribe,
but when done viewing it did not switch back to the limited engulfed
(or underwater) display.
2) when picking a teleport destination while engulfed/underwater you
have to pick the spot while seeing only the limited view of the map
that is shown while engulfed/underwater.
This fixes #1. I'm inclined to classify #2 as traditional behavior
and am not going to try to figure out a fix for it.

made from a corpse that provides less than 50 points. Take the

fix pull request #479 - statues of stoning-immunes
Statues on Medusa's level are supposed to be from petrified creatures
rather than somebody's artwork, so creatures that can't be turned to
stone aren't eligible. However, creatures who change form when hit
with stoning damage (foo golems to stone golem) were being allowed.
Also, statues in cockatrice nest rooms are supposed to be from former
characters and take their names from the high scores file. But when
'record' is empty, the statue would be of a random creature instead
of being changed into a player character, so both not the latter and
possibly something that can't be petrified.
I've taken the Medusa part as-is but did the cockatrice nest part
differently. It rejected statues of non-stonable creatures in case
the named character attempt failed. I've changed things so that when
a named player character can't be created, it will use an unnamed one
instead of random creature. The issue of maybe ending up with a non-
stonable form goes away because all player characters are vulnerable.

fix #H6928 - monster vs closed door messaging
Report from roughly two and half years ago was about "<monster>
opens the door" without displaying <monster>.
Monster movement first decides whether a monster can pass closed
door. If so, the monster is placed at the door spot, a message
is given about that movement (unlock, open, smash down, &c), and
finally the map is updated.
Changing the sequence to update the map before issuing the door
message was not sufficient to fix this. In the corridor plus
closed door plus lit room map fragment shown here, when 'O' moved
to '+', you would see it there if the hero is at '1' or '2', but
not if at '3', '4', or '5'; open door was shown instead. But the
message described 'O' accurately rather than as "it" for all those
hero locations.

: #O+1...
: |2...
: |3...

For 3,4,5 the #vision command shows the closed door as 3 before
the O move, but blank (0) after. In other words, the closed door
is within line of sight but once opened, the doorway spot isn't.
It makes sense that the closed door behaves like a wall but I'm
not sure whether the behavior for an open door's breach does too.

Also, if player did manage to get two or more '$' entries, #adjust

gold entries into even more gold entries. Now, if the player picks
gold as the #adjust 'from' item (which is only possible when there

\#perminv, 2 of 2: implementation
Add new '|' command, aka #perminv, which allows the player to
send menu scrolling keystrokes to the persistent inventory window.
Implemented for X11, where its usefulness is limited, and for
curses, where it is more needed and also more fully functional.
The interface can either prompt for one keystroke, act upon it,
and return to normal play, or it can loop for multiple keystrokes
until player types <return> or <escape>. X11 does the former if
the 'slow' application resource is False so that prompting uses
popups, and the latter when 'slow' is True where prompting is in
a fixed spot and doesn't end up causing the persistent inventory
window to be stacked behind the map window. curses always does
the loop-until-done approach. It also accepts up and down arrow
keys to scroll one line at a time.
Also adds two new menu scrolling commands, menu_shift_right (key
'}' by default) and menu_shift_left ('{') if wincap2 flags contain
WC2_MENU_SHIFT. Shifting allows different substrings of too-long
lines to be seen.
For X11, neither works because their handling requires a horizontal
scrollbar and for some reason that escapes me our menus don't have
one of those. If they did, shifts could work for all menus but a
shifted window would hide the selection letters. So shifting would
be most usefully done as: pan right, read more of any long lines,
immediately pan back to the left.
For curses, they only apply to the persistent inventory window.
Shift right redraws it with class headers and inventory letters
shown normally but the item descriptions omit their leftmost
portion, showing more text towards the end. Shift left reverses
that and does nothing if the beginning is already in view. Forward
and backward scrolling while shifted leave the shift in place.

fixes37.0 entry about engraving
Revert part of commit f6a30e7b05c9e45b58a8410afb9daf6b7c599180
that moved a fixes entry from the 'fixes to 3.6.x' section
into the 'post-3.6.x, exposed by git' section. It wasn't due
to the conversion of engraving from multi-turn action into an
occupation, it was fixing a bug that had been around for 5 or 6
years. Moot now; the conversion to occupation removed it.

tribute bit: Sourcery passage 4
Fix a mistake that led to a bad fix for a perceived mistake that
wasn't really there.
I think having a comma after "moment" would make things clearer,
but style-wise that's optional and leaving it out restores the
book's original wording.

X11 popup yn_function resizing
When X11_yn_function() re-uses a popup widget to issue a prompt
and get the player's response, make it resize properly. I'm not
sure why the old hack for that apparently worked for some folks
and not for me, or why this does work for me. At least it does.
Also, make the minimum popup width be 25 characters so that
really short prompts don't result in tiny popups. Since the
popup appears at whatever spot the pointer happens to be sitting,
it isn't always immediately noticeable when the player is using
the keyboard rather than the pointer.

"If you see me running, try to keep up."
Noticed while poking about in read.c for the ^G feedback change:
a relatively recently added apron slogan turns out to be a near
duplicate of an existing T-shirt slogan. Change the apron one a
little, although they're still nearly identical.

For ^G, if someone replies with empty input to the "Create which

of such monsters." before reprompting.

X11 getline refinement
X11_getlin() echoing its prompt and response to message window
truncates combined value to maximum allowed pline (rather than
having pline truncate it). But it was truncating the response
as if the prompt was maximum allowed length instead of its actual
length, so possibly hiding some of the user's text unnecessarily.

X11 update
More issues. The incorrectly rendered map after panning is one
I haven't seen before. Normally I only have a clipped map if I
force double size tiles rather and hadn't noticed this behavior
for that case, so manually resizing--and/or the scrollbars which
get added when that occurs--may be what triggers it.

Convert room 'joined' and 'needjoining' into booleans
des.region() accepted booleans for the joined field, whereas des.room
accepted xchars. These were only being used as truth values, so this
converts the room ones into booleans for consistency. I don't think
accidentally using an int or a boolean wrongly would actually crash the
level generator, but consistency is good.
This converts an schar field in struct mkroom into a boolean; on most
systems these are probably 1-byte types and save files won't be broken,
but it might be best to treat this as a save breaker anyway.

Fix: engraving with non-blade dulled the weapon anyway
Due to a logic bug introduced when engraving became an occupation - the
code that tests to see whether the player is writing with a weapon that

fix github issue #462 - line not displayed
Fix a latent bug in unreachable code. As the comment preceding
the cited code states, hero polymorphed into an eel isn't offered
a chance to use #monster to hide, so program execution won't ever
get to the bad code. Using formatting routine The() where message
delivery routine pline_The() is intended is certainly a bug though.

X11's yn_function() echoing its response
X11_yn_function() issues a pline() to put the prompt and player's
response into the message window. Change it to use visctrl() to
make sure that the response character is ledgible when something
like the '&' command allows an arbitrary answer.
This patch adds a leading space and two extra trailing spaces
to the prompt when it's being issued via popup, but that hasn't
affected the issue mentioned next....
The popup prompting when the 'slow' resource is False doesn't
always resize properly. I saw both too wide and too narrow
[What do you want to throw? [abc] ]b
[ In what direction? ]
and
[Really quit? [yn] (n) ]y
[Dump core? [ynq] (q) ]n (size seemed right, but hard to tell)
[Do you want your posses] (might have shown one more letter;
resize doodad in window's bottom right
corner on OSX oscures the rightmost
column--which is ordinarily a space)
The truncated one did accept responses. If I answered 'n' then
the next question was truncated too, but for 'y' (plus ensuing
feedback) it would be sized correctly for the question after that.
To be clear: the popup width issue was present before this change
and is still present after it. The code already has a hack that's
intended to deal with this but it doesn't do the job for me.

X11 persistent inventory again: initial display
If 'perm_invent' is preset in player's options, have X11 show the
persistent inventory window from the start instead of waiting for

Require WC_PERM_INVENT in order to honor the perm_invent option.
X11 and curses already set that, tty and curses don't support it,

X11: persistent inventory issues and hack for OSX
This hack prevents the perm_invent window for X11 on OSX from
creeping every time it gets updated. It is far from perfect and
at the very least ought be handled via user settable X resources
rather than hardcoded values, but it's as much effort as I'm likely
to spend.
Add a new file containing a list of issues that ought to be fixed.
The initial entries are things I noticed while experimenting with
perm_invent; there is lots of older stuff that could/should be
there too. I'm not sure whether the first one is OSX-specific; the
others aren't.
