Hello all,

This is just a quick heads-up for those that play the nightly versions
of Angband that sometime in the next few days savefile compatibility
will be broken. This means you'll have to start a brand new character
with a new savefile and your monster memory will be lost. Whilst
regrettable, this has been waiting to happen for at least ten years; the
object list needed a rearrange, a tweak, and all that.

This also means that when 3.1.0 comes out, it will not be able to import
older characters.

(I would add that until the release 3.1, items may behave weirdly
because things will be tweaked continuously. You might find one kind of
item spontaneously turning into another, or the like, on an upgrade.)

You have been warned. :)
