@@ -52,6 +52,8 @@ changelog.txt uses a syntax similar to RST, with a few special sequences:
 - `embark-assistant`:
     - fixed bug causing crash on worlds without generated metals (as well as pruning vectors as originally intended).
     - fixed bug causing mineral matching to fail to cut off at the magma sea, reporting presence of things that aren't (like DF does currently).
+    - fixed bug causing half of the river tiles not to be recognized.
+    - added logic to detect some river tiles DF doesn't generate data for (but are definitely present).
 - `gui/autogems`: fixed error when no world is loaded
 - `gui/companion-order`:
     - fixed error when resetting group leaders
