-This release is about 'carts', which are land-based skimmers / small wagons.
  -carts help file
-Carts can be player crafted (more on this in the near future).
-Carts are the same as skimmers in that...
  -characters can sit and stand on them
  -items can be placed on them
  -when they move from room to room they bring the items/characters with them
-Carts are different from skimmers in that...
  -they save their location between reboots (as wagons do)
  -they require mounts be harnessed to them to move, with some values saved
    -attributes (str/agl/wis/end)
    -stats (mvs, hps, stun)
    -name/owner

-Things to be careful about...
  -Things on the cart are NOT saved between reboots, currently.
  -Things packed on harnessed mounts are NOT saved between reboots, currently.

-Harness now works for carts.
  -syntax: harness <mount> [to] <cart>
  -unharness help file
-Unharness now works for carts.
  -syntax: unharness <mount>
  -Must be pilot (first occupant) of cart.
  -harness help file

-Looking at room shows all mounts on a single line after cart.
-Looking at cart now shows its mounts (and name if looker is mount owner)
-Assessing a cart now shows how many yokes are used/unused, and mounts and
  their rested level.  Number of yokes limits maximum number of mounts.
-Carts are always displayed to room except when ridden
-Cannot mount something while standing/sitting/sleeping/resting on furniture.
-Cannot mount or hitch something that is harnessed to a cart.
-Cannot pack/unpack things that are already harnessed.
-Cannot harness creatures with inventory/packed items on them.
-Trying to use unhitch on harnessed creature, 'Did you mean unharness?'
-When trying to hitch something to an object, ask if they meant harness.
-Passengers are now seen to 'ride' ride in/out of room on cart.
-Pilot is now seed to 'drive' in/out of room on cart.

-Tripled how much mounts attached to carts can pull.
-Cannot harness hitched mounts (unless it is hitched to you, in which case the mount is unhitched automatically)
-Mounts leaving the room without the cart don't break carts anymore.
  (flee, summon, hands of wind, fear, etc...)
-Increased rate at which virtual characters buy items from shops
-Staggered out some resource greedy tasks the game performs rather than having them fire all at once creating lag spikes.
-Added some metrics to code execution to help track down future lag spikes.

-Fixed some bugs with how cart weight was calculated, should resolve issues of mounts being too weak to pull carts.
-Fixed bug in pack command that would generate incorrect messages if a character in the room shared a keyword
   with the item being packed onto a mount.
-Fixed a bug where, when crafting cures, equipped items could be destroyed as part of crafting.
-Fixed a bug where, when piloting a cart in/out of a wagon the mounts were not being moved with the cart.
-Pilot now takes two arguments
  -"rest" and "stand" which force the mounts to change position as indicated.
  -Assessing the cart will show "(resting)" after mounts that are resting.  Standing mounts do not have their position
     appended.

May 10th, 2020 (Sunday)

(Nessalin)
-Threatening someone you are guarding now causes you to stop guarding the target, first.
-Guarding someone you are threatening now causes you to stop threatening the target, first.
-Fixed messages with guard blocking threaten so that
  -the right characters are displayed in the right order.
  -the modified sdesc is displayed (hooded, masked, etc..) rather than the true sdesc
-Command emotes for opening doors are no longer sent to the opposite side.
  This is because it was generating errors as a result of the characters and
  objects visible on one side of the door were not always visible on the
  other side of the door.  Leading to both an OOC issue (errors) and and IC
  issue (those on the other side of the door gaining information that they
  should not have access to).
-Expanded Javascript insight into what the game engine is doing.
-Added options for staff to flag armor items worn on head as covering features
  and if those items have a movable part to raise/lower, such as a visor, faceplate,
  or veil.
  -Player commands for this are raise/lower <item name>, 'visor', or the name of the
    movable part.
    > raise visor
    > raise faceplate
    > raise helmet
  -When face is covered by a full helmet, or helmet with lowered covering, characters
    will be penalized for actions that rely on the senses. They will get a message about the
    face covering making their attempt more difficult.
  -When raising/lower a visor while attempting to do something the player will get a message
    that their action just became easier or more difficult if it is affected.

(Nathvaan)  Special thanks to Oryx for all the work put in on this project!

- Added command 'feed' to allow for feeding and caring for one's mount.
- Based on how well they are fed will determine the increase in their stamina regeneration.
- Mount races have three different categories of foods.
 - Foods they prefer to eat, foods they find acceptable and foods they will eat begrudgingly.
 - All other foods they will refuse to eat.
- Mounts will eat more food based on their size.  The larger the amount the more they need to eat to gain the benefit.
- Most mounts will now automatically graze for food to feed themselves when they are in certain areas that are considered their natural habitat.
- Grazing will also provide some stamina regeneration bonus to a lesser degree than feeding one's mount.
- Mounts should only graze when they are standing and not carrying a rider.

- See 'help feed' for details.

As always, reporting issues and providing feedback (pun intended) is appreciated as we look to create other related features.

And protected them.
And I lived in the tower of flame
But death collected them.

Nessalin has helped us make some adjustments to the "Directions" command, so that it's a little more inclusive for the Labyrinth - this covers south-side new players getting there from Allanak proper, and an addition for those calling the 'rinth their hometown. Hurrah!
