Dec 1, 2024December 2024 focused on strengthening item generation quality, improving platform stability, and clarifying property behavior for players and developers. Implemented Artefact generation improvements that generalize property mappings, allow intrinsic properties to be modified within bounds, introduce a unified scheme for talismans with intrinsic resistance properties, and add reroll logic to ensure fixed properties don’t conflict with intrinsic ones. Standardized ring generation by removing a special weighting for rings of slaying to improve fairness. Updated Artifact properties DES syntax documentation to clarify how property values adjust based on existing item properties and how random subtypes are selected when using 'any TYPE' artprops, including the impact of fixed properties on random generations. Fixed a build stability issue for older GCC (4.7) in CAO environments by using const references in std::sort lambda captures to avoid non-const arguments in lambdas. These changes collectively improve gameplay balance, developer usability, and cross-toolchain compatibility.
