Client-side changes in 4.9.2

• Official addition of the first graphical tileset, thanks to Svechnik/EvgenjiK! See new guide chapter (2.5b) Graphical tilesets.
• The '=' menu now has 'g' to manage graphical tilesets, so manually editing config files is no longer needed.
• POSIX client: A minimal set of X11 "misc" fonts are included with the client. These should get automatically added to X server font path. Thus, the X11 client should work out of the box without needing to install additional fonts. POSIX fonts from Virus, Svechnik and Tangar are also included.
• Character boni screen, artifact lore screens and monster lore screens now support custom font mappings.
• Various guide and guide-search improvements, also inscription search heeds lower/upper case now.

• Fixed compilation without SOUND_SDL.
• Arrow keys, 'home' and 'end' key, can now be used for cursor movement in text input.
• Macro menu ('%'): Changed 'A' to 'X'. Added 'L', 'A' to load/save class-specific macro files (.prf).
• Knowledge menu ('~'): Added 'n' to browse all /notes you have received in the past.
• New subinventory (bag) 'Potion Belt' added. Has 5 slots for potion stacks, exclusively. Can also hold empty bottles.

• Subinventories: Visuals fixed and improved in general. Fixed directional rod checks, all-in-one command ('/' key).
• Subinventories: Enabled @[] inscriptions (aka 'tags', eg "@q3"). Skips charging/empty magic devices on use attempt if usable tagged ones are also available.
• Added @% inscription (eg "!F%" on oil flask stack) to skip the item prompt and without asking use this item right away if the command key is pressed. So this is for when you have only 1 inventory slot you want to use for a certain command key.
• Auto-inscriptions ('&' menu) are now also applied on items in bags. You can restrict an entry to bags only via 'b' toggle. And you can now toggle inscriptions via 't' key to temporarily disable them completely.
• New option added 'auto_inscr_off' which disables all auto-inscriptions.
• Renamed option 'auto_inscribe' to 'auto_inscr_server' to reflect that these inscriptions are pre-defined on server-side and not from '&' menu.
• The option 'auto_inscr_server' does not override auto-inscriptions from '&' menu.
• New options added for when using custom fonts: 'ascii_feats', 'ascii_items', 'ascii_monsters', 'ascii_uniques' which disable custom mappings for their respective aspect: Floor tiles, item symbols, all monsters, or just for unique monsters.
• New option 'no_flicker' added that disables most fast-animated colour flickering, in case you are in danger of epileptic fits from lots of stuff flickering on the screen.
• While browsing The Guide or spoiler files in-game: CTRL+K copies current line to clipboard. CTRL+L pastes current line to chat.

• Minimap subterminal window got rid of the empty area to the left of the map, saving space.
• Character sheet cursor can now also be moved horizontally.

• Macro Wizard -> 'Common commands and functions' expanded with firing/throwing macros and inscriptions.
• Macro Wizard -> 'Z' chain together existing macros.
• POSIX: Missing subterm windows added to .tomenetrc, and will be properly saved now.
• Chardumps now automatically append '.txt' extension to the filename if it doesn't end on it already.
• Chardumps now include subinventories.
• Inscription !Gn will now colour inven slot letter yellow if stack size is below the specified amount, !Wn will colour it orange if at or below the specified amount.
• The all-in-one ('/') command key can now be used on wielded books and magic devices.
• The 'Window Fonts and Visibility' menu (=f) now allows changing window titles.

• Wings of Wind: Level reduced from 16 to 15.
• Tome of Spirits now contains the correct Possess III tier instead of I.

• Anti-undead/-demon effects on players: Now hamper MP instead of HP in case the item is worn on head or hands.

• Weapon prefix-ego 'Corrupted' added: Nastily cursed (always HEAVY_CURSE), degree and more adverse effects vary randomly, decreases stats and LIFE, and has some more abilityes. Since these mali will flip due to HEAVY_CURSE, it's the way for vampires/hell knights to gain +LIFE mod on ego weapons.
• (Experimental): Shamans can access runecraft, except for Mana.
• DM modules (D&D adventure modules) by Kurzel: Event maps that are up in the form of permanently running events, see /evinfo, quite a challenge! Debut module 'Under Elmoth' (Nan Elmoth, home of dark-elves) allows up to 4 participants but may even be solo'ed if you pull all the strings, have a fitting character and some luck.

• Shamans got Divination school ratio slightly increased.
• Istari got Divination and Udun school ratios slightly reduced.
