This release is brought to you

Aaand, here's the second proper release. Real life caught up, so I took a bit of a break. But hey, at least there's plenty of new stuff in this one.

I've been squishing a lot of random bugs, but I've also pretty radically changed some AI routines and whatnot, so new bugs may have appeared. Please report them in comments if you encounter them.

As of this release, there are:
* 12 transformable races.
* 2 nonliving forms.
* 2 ways to get enslaved.
* 288 images.

Major changes:

Three new races
One of them pictured to your right.

High score lists
They're kind of experimental and entirely pointless, but they're there.

Special gallery
A gallery with images unlocked when specific conditions are met.

Bane weapons
A new weapon type that works especially well against certain types of monsters. This release only has one such weapon.

Polymorph effects
Temporary transformations that let you to temporarily assume the shape of a monster without truly becoming one. In this release, there is only one form that can be polymorphed into.

Cow improvements
One of most frequent complaints was how boring it was to be a cow. Now, they have at least something they can do (see racial help.)
