Some more changes from player-submitted ideas!
* Your DEFENCES list will now show if you have Leech active on any of your Vodun dolls or Puppetry puppets.
* CONFIG PLANTS ON|OFF will now do the same thing as PLANTS ON|OFF.
* INFO HERE FURNITURE will now match furniture in the room.
* INFO INV FURNITURE will now match unplaced furniture in your inventory.
* Total weight in FISHLIST will now be displayed in pounds and ounces, rather than just ounces.
* SHOW GOLD will now show you the gold in your hands, in your containers, and in your bankaccounts.
* The syntax of DEFENCES BRIEF has been added to HELP DEFENCES and HELP BASICCOMMANDS.
* CWHO <text> will now only show you people in your city who have names that begin with the search text. For example 'cwho a' will only show you online citizens whose names start with "A".
* WARES <search> will now allow you to search for items that have an enchantment whose text matches the search word, if you have Weaponprobe.
* You can now append DAMAGE, TO-HIT, or SPEED to the WEAPONLIST command to sort the output by one of those three stats, allowing for something like WEAPONLIST DAMAGE to view all weapons sorted by damage, or WEAPONLIST SCIMITAR TO-HIT to view only scimitars sorted by to-hit stat.
* The room description for adventurers wearing both a raised hood and a mask will now show the presence of both.
* The output of the ENTOURAGE commands will now more clearly indicate when you do not have any denizens following you.
* The attack messages against denizens for Evileye {Bleed and Curses Bleed have been condensed to one line.
* New configuration setting for nametells: CONFIG NAMETELLS FULL, which requires that you use the TELL command and that you also specify the full name of the person receiving the tell.
* You can now LIBRARY LOCK|UNLOCK ALL to lock or unlock all of the volumes on any library furniture in your room.
* ORDER DOPPLEGANGER SEEK without a target should now use your server-side target.
* BUTCHER CORPSE should now search through all corpses in your inventory to find one to butcher, rather than stalling at the first corpse it finds that is too small to butcher.
* The notification about a ship crew recovering balance to execute another order should now use the "balance" colour configuration setting.
* SNUFF LIGHTWALL should now work as well as SNUFF LIGHTWALLS.
* The AB file for the Voicecraft ability Songbird has been improved with details about how the songbird functions.
* You can now edit organizational help scrolls when your health and mana are very close to full (but no longer have to be completely full).
* New OUTFIT command: OUTFIT COPY <source> TO <dest> will clear all items from the "dest" outfit, and then copy all items from "source" into it.
* Keys on artefact keyrings will now allow you to unlock and lock doors.
* The output of HOUSING ROOM LIST <house #> should now have some order, and should now respect pagelength.
Penned by My hand on the 5th of Aeguary, in the year 693 AF.
