 • Added a new hack that greatly improves the display of positive status effects on your party in battle
   and allows Scan to report all status effects on enemies (in addition to showing their weaknesses)

 • Changes to the final tower of bosses scripts

 • Removed the Gungnir's HP boost and slightly boosted the Longinus's battle power (150 -> 160)

 • Lowered the defense on the Mythril Kite (20/20 -> 15/15) so that it isn't just an Iron Shield without
   the speed penalty; also renamed it to "Targe" to distinguish it from heavy shields (kites are *big*)

 • The "protect near-death allies" effect on some relics should no longer activate when certain statuses
   are present or if the attack originated from an ally (this effectively fixes the "brush cover" bug)

 • Fixed a bug where using Dice with a Black Belt would cause three dice to be thrown instead of two

 • Modified the "Blind Accuracy" hack to allow blindness to affect the Jump command

 • Enemy "special" attacks which inflict instant death no longer ignore death immunity

 • Symbols no longer appear to compare equipment being purchased to what you already have equipped

 • Removed the small overlay which identifies the skill sub-menus (i.e. Espers, Spells, Bushido...) and
   displays the MP cost of a chosen spell; spell costs are now visible by default in the main menu panel

 • Removed the non-functional "Optimize" command from the equip menu and the also non-functional battle
   speed slider from the config menu

 • Condensed the list of known rages in the skills menu (only the first 64 slots are used now)

 • Modified the text for EL bonuses in the menu to read "EL Bonus" instead of "At Level Up"

 • Evade and mblock are no longer shown as percentages in the menu (since they are out of 128, not 100)

• Safe/shell/reflect in the window works;
  
• haste/slow/stop auras work (no others appear);
  
• Rerise works as the bar is green on filling and orange on filled;
  
• image properly falls after one hit that *doesn't* trigger that characters evade;
  
• character guarding another character does not happen if either have image/vanish or if Relm hits a critical character, still needs a check on Muddled/Sleeping characters;
  
• Setzer' dice no longer throw a third die with a black belt equipped;
  
• EL Bonus is correctly displayed on the esper screen;
  
• Currently the Esper/Magic/Tech mini-window is still present, and the MP display in Magic is not by default;
  
• Optimum is currently still there as well;
  
• Much fancy, very wow options screen. (Bat.Mode Off still works as intended);
  
• Evade and MBlock don't show their % anymore either, as intended;
  
• The Mythril Kite is currently named as the Mythril Band, and still gives its 20 Def / 20 MDef / +10 Evade, rather than its intended 15 Def / 15 MDef / +10 Evade;
  
• Gungnir no longer gives +HP% as intended, Longinus gives 160 Battle Power as intended;
  
• Scan is currently not reporting status effects;
  
• Shops no longer report ^, v, or = on characters in regards to defense, as intended;
  
• Someone will need to check whether or not specials with instant death properties still ignore instant death immunities (Retainers/Cyborgs in KT have these kinds of specials, for those looking to test).
