Change Log:

• CHANGE - highly enchanted tools now requires 2 enchantment books, of any type. lightly enchanted tools requires a single enchantment book of any type. Closes #190

• CHANGE - allow researched recipe to use ore dictionary for item matching. -may- greatly fubar all the things. Closes #185
• CHANGE - reduce knockback from archer arrows by half. Should make fighting swarms of archers a lot easier. Will also reduce archer effectiveness when they are fighting solo (mobs will hit them much more often with less knockback). Closes #174
• CHANGE - update 'building expansion' setting for included default town templates.
• CHANGE - update cluster value for default included structures; should reduce frequency of two large structures close together, and reduce the frequency of them spawning next to towns.
• FIX - add randomized loot to chest in village smith template
• FIX - add preview images for most structures
• FIX - fix outhouse template; change gold block to chest+nuggets.
• NEW - add dulciphi's mayor mansion template and add tavern template to small town structure lists. add screenshot for dulc' mayor mansion. update default structure pack with all new changes.
• FIX - Fix an issue that was causing cluster value to be improperly calculated (doubling the value of some structures, counting some structures out past the cutoff distance, basically fubar).
• CHANGE - update villager spawn #'s in default town templates
• FIX - fix included windmill template
• FIX - add trapped chest meta rotation mapping
• FIX - add rule to handle new skull tile-entity data format; rotation supported. (will need to rescan any templates with skulls in them)
• FIX - fix sign post blocks not generating properly.
• FIX - fix town generator placement of lamps in front of doors. if doors are set properly in the template, a single block will be ignored for lamp-post positioning (might still have issues with double doors).
• FIX - fix up loading of template images in directories in structure packs.
• FIX - fix mayoral mannor missing the top of its roof =\ (and add some random loot to the chests)

2.4.82-beta-MC1.7.10 (Release Candidate)

Change Log:
Commits on Dec 23, 2014

• FIX - clean up issue of world-gen structures not placing air-blocks properly.
• FIX - clean up issue of towns allowing validation below world horizon level
• FIX - clean up town generation, remove even skippable blocks from town area (not border). Should resolve issues of trees generating inside of the towns (or rather town not clearing out the trees that were in the
  bounds)

2.4.81-beta-MC1.7.10 (Release Candidate)

Change Log:

• CHANGE - restructure bard song stuff -- move song-data class into core, as it will also be used by structure module in song-block
• FIX - save out the tune index...just to help with long playlists not restarting every time the block is reloaded / server restarts
• NEW - add faction-based NPC bards, definition and registration.
• NEW - add zh_TW localization
• CHANGE - delay generation in chunks, defer to tick-handler. Also delay structure generation with tick handler. Closes #150
• NEW - add a command to disable NPC ai on a persistent per-world basis. Should be useful for build-worlds to disable NPC AI for setting up structures. (/awnpcdebug)
• CHANGE - reassign default value for factions for new players. Was 0, now -50. Should result in all NPCs being hostile towards players until they have done some work to improve their standing (trading with faction-owned traders). (Will not effect existing worlds, new worlds only; may need config file regenerated)
• FIX - add ladder block->item meta remap for survival-mode structures. Should resolve issues of structures being un-buildable in drafting station when the template calls for ladders.
• FIX - fix crash bug with instant structure builder when click on air
• add template rule for windmill blade blocks, flywheel storage blocks. add windmill control block to list of torque-tiles registered for regular torque-tile block rule. Fixes windmills not generating properly
  in structure system.
• FIX - clean up handling of empty/air blocks in ticked structure builder. Closes #192
• CHANGE - ticked structure builder now does an initial pass to clear the build-area of any existing blocks (not re-validated once cleared). Each block cleared will drop the item for that block and consume energy. HINT: It may pay off to pre-clear the area where these structure builders will be used!
• FIX - fix up vanilla logic template rule type assignment being overwritten by awautomationlogic assignment, should be backwards compatible, and future templates should be more conformant
• FIX - fix wrong loading of town-map data.
• FIX - fix default assignment of town-gen flag in config file (default=true) (may need to regen config/change manually)

• update tooltip comment on survival-mode structure builder to use language files. Closes #155
• add screenshots/preview image for all structures in default pack
• fix up button and checkbox gui-elements activating when GUI first opened. May need to revisit in the future for other elements. Closes #151

• remove water from default skippables blocks list. Closes #132
• remove a bunch of other blocks from 'skippables' list that should not have been there (clay, ores, others...)
• add item to test world-gen ability of a particular structure

• clean up block event packet to more closely correspond to vanilla mechanics. Can possibly investigate widening the data-types for a/b data bits at a future date. Might want to investigate creating custom
  packet for wider types, so existing tiles can use lowest-network use packets and only use wider types where needed.
