### Pre-alpha 7
- Gameplay
  - Introduced complete item/inventory system
    - TODO: write transition tutorial
    - TODO: uniques mentioned?
  - Introduced time feature
    - It now make time progress in location menu
    - It is also passing through travel
  - Added character screen, so player can now see info about their hero
    - It allows for editing character's history
  - Some actions now move player between screens, making actions more intuitive
- Technicals
  - Improved performance in various areas
    - Location screen should be 8-10 times faster
- Fixes
  - Fixed save descriptions not showing after coming back to menu (#124)
  - Fixed incorrect list of names for non-recognised genders (#129)
  - Fixed some typos

Updating from PA6:
- Make sure to add relevant date data to your save
  - In `saves`, find your old save
  - Open `player.toml` file and add the following lines:

      time_era = 2
      time_year = 921
      time_month = 8
      time_day = 23
      time_wday = 1
      time_hour = 11
      time_min = 0

  - They can have different values, but those above are the default for `wanderer`
    origin from vanilla

- Handle save file changes between PA6 and PA7 
  - Open `data.toml` file, with `player.toml` still being opened
  - Copy those two lines from `data.toml` to `player.toml`:

      religion = "..."
      history = "..."

  - Once you finish copying, remove them from `data.toml`

- Create new file needed
  - Create `settings.toml` in the same directory previously edited files were
  - Put below text in the file:
    
      permadeath = false

  - You can set it as `true` in case you want to have permadeath option on

- Make changes to your inventory files
  - Create `equip.yaml` file in directory used for previous changes
  - Put below entries in it:

      amulet: ''
      belt: ''
      boots: ''
      glove: ''
      greaves: ''
      head: ''
      l_hand: ''
      pants: ''
      r_hand: ''
      ring1: ''
      ring2: ''
      shirt: ''
      torso: ''

 - Rewrite `inventory.yaml` file to look like that:

      stackables:
          ansur:letter_to_yourself: 1
      uniques:
      - ansur:iron_knife:
          quality: 30

 - Adjust it to your will/old items, remembering that stackables are just indented
   dictionaries (being `key:value` pair) and uniques are list of single dictionaries
   in `{ID: data}` format
 - Data of unique items is just a simple `key:value` pair dictionary - PA7 only includes
   quality as a key
