+# Usurper Reborn v1.1.12
+
+## Awakening
+
+- **Awakening rises in seven stages, and each rise is shown.** A framed
+  AWAKENING screen appears at the next safe moment, never mid-fight or
+  mid-dialogue, with a piece of the Ocean's story, the stage's gift and
+  what the stage opens.
+- **More of what you live through counts.** Stages are reached by points:
+  a moment of awakening is worth 3, a Wave Fragment 2, and each distinct
+  insight (dreams, discoveries, shrines, lore songs and others) 1. The
+  stages need 4, 12, 22, 34, 48 and 62 points; the seventh also needs all
+  seven seals or the truth of who you are. Insights are now saved.
+- **Moments that never counted now do:** sparing a beaten foe, meeting
+  Manwe, accepting Manwe's offer, refusing paradise, taking the darkness,
+  hearing an Old God's lore song, and coming to accept a companion's loss.
+  Recovering your memories needs four of them, the number that can be
+  found.
+- **Each stage gives a lasting gift:** stage 1 +3 Wisdom, 2 +5% max mana,
+  3 +5% combat XP, 4 +5% max HP, 5 +3% damage dealt, 6 3% less damage
+  taken, and at stage 7 each percentage gift grows by 5 more and you are
+  "the Awakened".
+- **A duel defender fights with the awakening gifts of their own saved
+  stage,** as they already fight with their own team's HQ bonuses.
+- **[P] Progress shows your stage out of 7** (it said out of 5), and [J]
+  opens the Ocean Journal: points to the next stage, the fragments found
+  with their lore, and the moments lived.
+- **A new character is told that something in them is asleep,** and a
+  one-time hint explains the Awakening line on the status screen.
+- **Story chapter 1 is "The Drowning".**
+- Existing characters keep at least the stage they had.
+
+## Team Corner
+
+- **Pick from a list:** Info, Join, Examine, Sack, Equip, Specialize and
+  Resurrect show a paged list; pick by number, by name or by the start of
+  a name. Examine lists player members too.
+- **Team rankings load at once** (each view used to read every save once
+  per team) and show each team's real power and average level, NPC and player
+  members together. Teams with no members are not listed.
+- **Fixes:**
+  - Changing the team password takes effect; only the leader can change
+    it (a team founded by an NPC checks the NPC's password).
+  - A team dissolved by its last member takes its upgrades and vault with
+    it, and a new team starts without any left under its name.
+  - Quitting keeps the team's protection from the NPC world while a player
+    is still in it, and keeps a team whose NPC members are dead for now.
+  - Creating a team charges only when the team is made; names are trimmed
+    and compared ignoring case, accented letters included.
+  - Sack, Resurrect, Specialize and Recruit act on the current NPC after
+    a world reload; Resurrect saves the result.
+  - A team war left running by a disconnect ends after 10 minutes; its
+    wager is refunded if no round was fought. A war pays or charges only
+    when its result is saved.
+  - Vault deposits cannot duplicate gold and respect the vault's size;
+    an upgrade cannot be bought twice at once or past level 10.
+  - Gear moved between you and a teammate is saved at once and cannot be
+    duplicated. Equip Best fills every slot in one pass.
+  - Teams hold five members, players and NPCs together; a dead member
+    keeps their place.
+  - A cursed item asks before it is equipped.
+- View Inventories is on every menu; rankings and war history page;
+  Resurrect and vault withdrawals ask first; Sack offers to take back the
+  gear you gave; the Team Corner's text is translated.
+
+## Other fixes
+
+- **NPC teammates no longer attack their sleeping player.**
+- The "World event bonus" line shows only a world event's share; it
+  appeared on ordinary kills.
+- Cursed items are marked in the backpack, and the hint for removing a
+  curse names the Magic Shop.
+- The dungeon's one rest per floor is kept when you log out and back in,
+  and the rest screens say so.
+- A one-time hint explains lives when you first enter the dungeon.
+- Spellcasters see the stamina bar when they have stamina to spend.
+- Gear found in the dungeon, and the dungeon merchant's wares, are
+  compared with what you wear.
+- The training points hint names the Level Master's key, the auto-combat
+  notice says what it does, and Main Street's menu shows the world events
+  key.
+- Gold sent to an alt character reaches that character.
+- Deleting a character:
+  - clears the children and quests of a banned character too;
+  - keeps mail meant for another character of the same name;
+  - does not pay a later character of the same name an old war refund.
+
+## Known and unchanged
+
+- Two players joining a team at the same moment can take it to six.
+- Two teammates taking back the same NPC's gear at the same moment can
+  both receive it.
+- A crash in the middle of a vault deposit loses the deposit.
+- A fought team war whose result cannot be saved ends with nothing paid.
+- Existing team names that differ only in case stay separate teams.
+- The Spanish, French, Hungarian and Italian Awakening text awaits a
+  native speaker's review.
+
+## Tests
+
+1,731 passing, up from 1,568.
