 - `gui/blueprint`: recording of stockpile layouts and categories is now supported. note that detailed stockpile configurations will *not* be saved (yet)
 - Core: For debugging purposes, you can now pass ``--disable-dfhack`` on the Dwarf Fortress commandline or specify ``DFHACK_DISABLE=1`` in the environment to disable DFHack for the current session.

+- Window behavior: non-resizable windows now allow dragging by their frame edges by default
 - `gui/autodump`: fort-mode keybinding: Ctrl-H
