- Changes -

Been a while, but there are a few changes to let you all know 
about.

    - Energy Sword has received a minor downgrade, and is now 
      semi-unique in the fact that only a certain number of them 
      will be allowed in the game at a given time. This applies 
      to the Greater aspect of the weapon as well.
    - The history command has been implemented. 'help command 
      history' to learn how to use it. 
    - 'who senior' finally works (Woo Woo! :)
    - The guards in drelexor castle are now helping each other 
      out in combat, so be careful.
    - The ants in, or under, the grasslands have also been 
      downgraded in the amount of money they give.

    - Manetheren has changed shape a bit. For those of you lords 
      who were brave enough to fight Dicer, his saloon has been 
      moved to another location in the area.
    - 'drink drink' is now generically supported. (except in a 
      few special cases such as magic mug, etc)
    - WWW finger's are fixed for people with no fp or use a lot 
      of spaces.
    - 'compare' cmd has been altered, and now supports 'all' 
      to compare str, dex and con in one go.     
    - Removing/placing items in a bag or such now displays the 
      correct message. (Was: ' takes ring.', is now: 
      ' takes ring from bag.') 
    - Changed msg when you read a note on a board that dosen't 
      contain a note of that number.
    - Title changes (deaths, raising stats, etc), are now 
      displayed a bit  differently.

    - The 'follow' command works, but will never become 100%
      reliable.     
    - The helppages layout has been improved where needed.
    - People who have ANSI on will no longer have their hpbar
      overwritten when typing 'score'. 
    - The kicking money bug has been fixed, and you can now 
      properly kick money. (Am not even going to comment on
      that one ;).
    - 'shoutl' looks a lot better (most blank lines removed).
