Release notes for H-World 0.4.1.0

This release is mostly a polished and improved version of the last one. There are only few new features.

New features

- dungeon features can have names, the names are displayed on the map if pointed to by the mouse
- new being: sheep
- new item: recolorable vase
- new item: edible mushroom
- new item: wooden cabinet
- support for random colorsets per item instance (previously only per item class)
- room templates can now have a "clear" flag that tells the level factory to clear the area before placing the room
- started to support towns with roads
- unidentified colored items now get their color as name prefix ("green potion" instead of "unidentified potion")


Improvements

- keypress 'i' now toggles inventory view open/close
- colored tooltips for magic items (blue = magic, yellow = special, white = normal, grey = dungeon feature (no item))
- chests can be carried again (they don't fit into backpack, but can be carried by hand)
- improved torso plate graphics
- changed default grass texture to appear a bit more like dry grass
- changed nine part walls for isometric view to sit on the lower border of the squares. This allows higher walls without obscuring too much of the players view and looks better.
- changed town house templates to make use of the new wall positioning
- changed colorshades to rainbow hues


Fixed problems

- townspeople no longer inherit traders dialogs
- entering a player name with an 'o' no longer closes the character selection dialog
- tried to fix a crash after changing the belt and storing an item in the new belt
