Release notes

This is a somewhat experimental branch of the Dungeon Crawl Reference project (codenamed Stone Soup). Note that this is a branch, and is NOT the official Dungeon Crawl Reference.

The goal of this version is to build on Dungeon Crawl Reference (which aims to be the stable base platform for experimentation and patches, and to fill in the gaps during times when Dungeon Crawl's main maintainer is not available) with good features drawn from sources such as Brent Ross' 4.1.2 alpha, and ideas from the community of Dungeon Crawl players and to keep development on Dungeon Crawl moving without destabilizing game balance.
