This are the release notes for H-World 0.2.5


A new feature: cursed items
This comes with new, negative, item prefixes, a remove curse scroll
and some more adaptions, like changed item names. Items are now
labeled "unknown" unless it is known that they are not cursed.

A new item class: rings
Only one ring item so far: silver ring. Rings can be magical. Magic
rings have nice (or not so nice) effects. Mundane rings are just
jewelry.

Adjusted carpet size, so that the player can carry carpets around.
They do not fit into backpacks, though.
