+ | * [[Crawl options|Config file]] overhaul: lists require += when appending, you don't need to upgrade your config by hand anymore (after this last(?) time). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Branches, environment== | ||
+ | * New [[wizlab]]: Roulette of Golubria. | ||

+ | * A new [[Dungeon Sprint|Sprint]] map by st, based on the [[Ziggurat]]. | ||
+ | * [[Vault|Vaults]] are more common. | ||
