This are the release notes for H-World 0.1.1

(Please also read the former release notes!)

Since the last release some major features have been finished:

- A HTML based help system. H-World now has a very simple HTML browser to
  display help files inside the game. Press ? (the question mark key) to open 
  the general help page with links to more help pages. (Using HTML also allows
  to browse the help files outside of H-World. Take a look at the 'help'
  subdirectory).

- Trading: instead of the town, there is now a marketplace with some traders.
  Approach a trader to start trading. All trade in H-World/The Jungle is 
  bartering, there is no money currently. Please see also the in-game help
  about trading to learn how to use the trade/bartering UI. 

- The armor piercing ability of weapons is now fully implemented. I.e.
  a weapon with a 50% piercing ability bypasses damage reduction from armor 
  with a 50% chance.


A few minor changes:

- The inventory view is more compact now. It also displays things on ground,
  and thing can be easily dropped or picked up from ground in the inventory
  view. The 'inspector' box was removed - item properties are now 
  automatically displayed if the mouse is moved over an item. 

- Attacks can simply miss now. Smaller targets are harder to hit.

- New weapon prefixes: sharp, slicing, shattering, crushing and piercing.

- A look command. It briefly lists all visible things in a quadrant.

- The forest/wilderness is now always lit. Day/night change will be 
  implemented in a future version.


For more info, please read the readme.txt file and the release notes
of H-World 0.0.2, 0.0.3, 0.0.4, 0.0.5, 0.0.6, 0.0.7 and 0.1.0

The player can't die in this release, if the hitpoints (HP) drop to 0
the game will restore them to 9999.
