    - Added new Wraith monster.
    - Reaper and Rot Worm rebalanced to be less powerful.

    - The game now tracks turns taken, and a turn counter is displayed in the stats window.
    - The game now tracks various stats, both for the current game and globally (total and best-in-game). Custom games will not increase global stats.

Deleting these files (and any files called "stats_total_old.dat" or  "stats_bestgame_old.dat") will reset your global stats.
    - Updated stealth tooltip with more description.
    - You can now possess creatures that die even if you didn't kill them.

  Graphics

  Items
    - Healing potions now show a healing text particle.
    - Multipurpose Jewelry now says it counts as a ring, an earring, and an amulet for item masteries specifically (thanks to redshojin).

  Bug Fixes
    - Double clicking an empty equipment slot will no longer crash the game (thanks to Tactless).
    - Equipment tooltips were sometimes showing unidentified min or max damage modifiers as identified even though they weren't. This no longer happens (thanks to Tactless).
    - Equipment which has both cursed and non-cursed damage modifiers should now correctly apply both (thanks to Tactless).
    - Fixed a bug where potions would have their inventory slot reselected after use.
    - Fixed an incorrect loop point in the floor 5-6 background music (thanks to Tactless).
    - Gore's status effect should no longer have increased intensity upon switching equipment (thanks to Tactless). This did not affect Gore's actual gameplay effects.

    - Multiple monitors are now properly supported, the game will remember which monitor the game was last played on between sessions, and should fullscreen on the monitor it is currently on rather than the primary monitor.
    - Static level geometry is now cached in buffers on the GPU. Offloading floors and walls to the GPU in this fashion means rendering speed and framerate are drastically increased.
    - The game window should no longer jump back to the primary monitor when opening or closing the options menu.

  GUI
    - Added an option to enable a high contrast version of the default font.

Changes in v0.8.2: (savegame compatible with v0.8.1) [2016-10-16]

  Abilities
    - Heart Strike now deals piercing damage and no longer increases the chance of critical hits. It now also does slightly increased maximum damage.

  Bug Fixes
    - Made the save system more robust, hopefully resolving occasional crashes on some systems.
    - Hopefully fixed one-pixel offset on dialogue window triangle from main dialogue box.
    - Cleave should no longer hit targets that are outside of reach, such as targets that are two tiles away.
    - Item masteries were showing up multiple times on item tooltips if the ability was equipped on multiple forms simultaneously. This was purely a cosmetic issue and has now been fixed.

    - Fixed a bug which caused the Burn status effect to display in the log even when enemies were affected.

  Environment
    - Mob spawns have been changed in order to guarantee a certain number of mobs that are supposed to be new to a floor. This should help keep game balance more consistent, particularly in Quick Play mode.


Changes in v0.8.1: (savegame compatible with v0.8.0) [2016-10-11]

  Bug Fixes
    - Fixed an attack animation bug that could cause some animations (notable Envenom) to off-center the entity at low framerates.

        - Is now an AoE attack ability.
        - Minimum damage lowered significantly.
        - Mana cost is reduced to 15.

  Bug Fixes
    - You can no longer possess things if they die outside of your line of sight.

    - Fixed a bug causing Retaliation to not apply to magical attacks.
    - Fixed a bug which caused the wrong damage values to be displayed in the combat log if damage reduction from buffs was applied to an attack.
    - Fixed a several year old bug where the value indicating whether or not a tile obscures other tiles was not being cached, causing this value to be recalculated for every tile rendered, every frame, always. Oops.
    - Fixed a bug that could theoretically block off a corridor when merging doors, potentially blocking a level.
    - Fixed a bug where if pixel perfect rotations were disabled and the player had a non-default form color, rotations would produce color artifacts along the sprite's edges.

  Combat Graphics Overhaul
    - This patch is the first in a range of patches that features many graphical changes to enhance the look and feel of combat in MidBoss. Many animations, sounds and graphical effects have been added.

    - Several changes were made in order to facilitate a pleasant early game experience for new as well as returning players.
    - The first floor is now a tutorial floor with a semi-fixed layout.
    - The second floor (formerly the first floor) has been reduced in size.
    - Rat and bat form experience required to level reduced in order to speed up the early game. Rat now requires 3 experience per form level (was 5), and bat requires 8 (was 10).

    - Destructible objects now have a 100% penalty to evasion.
    - Monsters now belong to one or more of various types: Magical, Undead, Beast and Humanoid.

  Environment
    - Libraries now come with cozy ratty carpets.
    - Added storage rooms and treasure rooms. Treasure rooms contain gold piles which function like crates with slightly better loot.
    - The royal chest is now placed in a dead end room where possible in order to encourage exploration.
    - The room the royal chest is found in now has a decent chance of being a treasure room.
    - Stairs now have small signs indicating their direction.
    - Rooms have an increased chance of spawning higher level enemies, and will spawn slightly fewer lower level enemies.
    
  Game Modes
    - Added Quick Play mode. In this mode levels are much smaller, better loot drops more frequently, and an experience boost is applied for a more compressed gameplay experience.
    - In order to add Quick Play mode, structural changes to the game were made which in the future will be used to create a fully customizable gameplay experience with various mutators the player can change to their liking.
        
  General
    - Added an intro scene with dialogue. This can be skipped with the escape key, you terrible person you.
    - Six new monsters have been added; hell rat, aether bat, ghoul, reaper and rot worm (which spawns rot maggots, the 6th new mob).
    - These six new monsters come with 15 new abilities; 5 targeted abilities and 10 passive abilities.
    - These abilities use brand new systems for piercing damage, (point blank) AoE attacks, counter attacks, procs, persistent ground targeted effects, auras and more.
    - Added piercing attacks, these ignore half of the target's defense (toughness or resistance).
    - The way actions are processed has changed to a more robust queue based system. This should hopefully resolve various miscellaneous bugs and finally fix the poison game freezing bug. This was required to make many of the new abilities function properly.
    - All attributes now have sane minimums. Most attributes cannot be reduced below 1. Only Accuracy, Evasion and Stealth attributes can be negative now.

  GUI
    - Attribute breakdowns now show percentage bonuses before flat rate bonuses.

  Items
    - Tomes no longer have an activation cost and don't drain any stamina or mana when used.
    
  Item Mastery
    - A new item mastery system has been implemented, in order to make the Mastery series of abilities more interesting than a simple attribute bonus to all your gear.
    - Different types of equipment gain different mastery procs when using the relevant Mastery ability.
    - These procs make the choice whether or not to use a Mastery ability, and if so which gear to use much more interesting to the player and encourage creativity in combining procs with other abilities.
    - Currently, only the Weapon Mastery ability is affected and gives the following procs:
        - One-handed swords have a 10% chance to counter attack when hit.
        - One-handed axes have a 10% on hit chance to deal piercing damage.
        - Two-handed swords have a 50% on hit to cleave and deal damage to entities in adjacent tiles.
        - Two-handed axes have a 20% on hit chance to stun the enemy for one round.
        - Daggers have a 10% chance on hit to double attack.
        - Shields have a 15% chance when hit to guard, nullifying incoming damage entirely.
    - Additionally monsters with visible gear who have mastery abilities now benefit from those masteries, this means skeletons and ghosts gain the one-handed sword counter attack proc.
    - The Armor Mastery, Staff Mastery and Accessory Mastery abilities will be changed to use this system in future updates.

  Options
    - Camera tracking during attacks can now be disabled in the options menu, in which case the camera does not move while attacking.
    - Added an option to disable the new floating damage values.
    - Removed the ability to disable animations.
    - Added customization option for the new screen shake effect.

    - Game should no longer slow down due to saving when advancing in number of floors.
    - Improved save performance by parallelizing xml serialization. This feature can be disabled with the '-nothreadsave' command line argument.
    - Save files are now more compressed (smaller filesize).
