Changelog for update 1.2.6.291 / GOG-8 (Windows) / GOG-9 (Mac) / GOG-5 (Linux) (added 23 March 2016):

Tendry's Tale hold:
- Opened Pirate Lair convenience shortcut (to avoid having to traverse multiple levels to get to the other side of a yellow door you don't have to open).
- Goblin Tribe: Repeat inventory notification every time player steps on the Short Sword tile, so players don't miss it when they need it.

- Now you can press the Battle key while viewing another room on the map.
- Now rooms explored in previous game sessions will automatically be added to the map.

- Real-time light and shadow rendering.
- Improved rendering logic for weather effects.
- Player death animations for falling into pit and drowning.
- New sound effects for destroying briar and thunder.
- Migrated "Secret room" sound. (When manually patching, you'll need to delete your drod.ini to enable the new sound effect.)

- Fixed: token toggle off wasn't working properly.
