This are the release notes for H-World 0.1.9


There is one major new feature: dungeon features like walls, stairs
teleporters, trees, columes etc. got their own configuration file:
./data/features.sects

Currently there are only image configuration in there, but this is
quite important becuase this allows users to exchange the images
with their own images (similar like items and monsters can get user
defined images). 

In long term all attributes of duneon features will be defined in
./data/features.sects - currently there is just nothing but the
images to define.


Other than this change mostly bugfixes and configuration cleanups
have been done. Particularly the classic 'rooms and corridors'
dungeon generator frequently crashed during dungeon generation. I
hope all of those bugs are fixed now. Also marketplaces now should
always have at least one of each type of trader, but at most 6
traders in total. I hope this will create more sensible marketplaces.

Last but not least, the HTML based help system should now work again.
In 0.1.8 all the hyperlinks didn't work.


For more info, please read the readme.txt file and the old release
notes.
