+==== v4.5.0 (March 6 2022) ====
+  * Added ''Cnoearned'', which prevents characters from being recruited at non-free positions.
+  * Removed the ''N'' flag category and renamed its functions to ''Knofree'', ''Cnofree'', and ''Bnofree'' respectively.
+  * When Rydia grows up, the five summons she receives are now randomized by default. This behavior can be reverted using ''-vanilla:growup''.
+  * Added ''Gbackrow'', which enables the backrow glitch. Note that this means the backrow glitch is now disabled by default.
+  * Added ''Orandom:tough_quest'' to replace ''Orandom:gated_quest'', which is similar in intent, with some differences:
+    * ''tough_quest'' excludes both ungated quests and some more easily-achievable gated quests.
+    * The summon and moon boss quests are weighted to balance their frequency rate against the other quests.
+  * Increased number of random objectives allowed to 8.
+  * Added ''Kforce:magma'', which guarantees a route to the underworld using the Magma Key without using the Hook route.
+  * Added ''Kforce:hook'', which guarantees that the Hook route is the only way to reach the underworld.
+  * Altered ''Ktrap'' so that key items will not appear in Lunar Subterrane trapped chests unless ''Kmoon'' or ''Kunsafe'' is also enabled.
+  * Expanded ''Tmaxtier:'' options to range from tier 3 to 7.
+  * Added ''-smith:alt'', which makes Kokkol forge a random tier 7/8 item.
+    * ''Chero'' overrides this flag.
+    * Renamed ''-supersmith'' to ''-smith:super'' to match.
+  * Added ''Crestrict:*'' flags, which allow you to specify which characters are considered "restricted" for the purposes of standard randomization (normally Fusoya and Edge).
+  * Removed objectives list from opening cutscene.
+    * As a result, the opening cutscene will not play unless there is a wacky challenge to introduce.
+  * Added the Libra starter kit, which contains 50 Bestiaries.
+    * This is intended to assist new players, as Bestiary allows you to perform Peep actions against bosses (excluding Zeromus).
+  * Added the Green Names starter kit, which is just four items selected by the FE green names without any particular coordination.
+  * Fixed availability of Artemis Bow/Arrows in the archer kit according to their updated tiers.
+  * Altered the escape from the Baron Castle trap room cutscene.
+  * Disabled the tint visual glitch when casting Warp or Exit in the Mist Cave (adapted from code by cassidymoen).
+  * Updates to Mysidian Legend, end credits, and other text.
+  * New Z sprites and harp songs.
+==== v4.4.2 (October 13 2021) ====
+  * In "Misspelled", fixed MP cost for summons. Spells with summon effects now consume the MP of the spell that was cast instead of the MP of the summon itself.
+  * In "Three Point System", fixed an issue with casting summons. Summons now correctly consume 1 MP.
+  * Fixed an issue when trying to generate a seed with "Kleptomania" and either ''Sstandard'' or ''Spro''.
+  * Fixed an issue with ''Owin:crystal'' + No ''Pkey'' + ''Tshuffle | Tvanilla''.
+    * With this combination and ''Tshuffle'' you may now find a stray Cure1 in a trapped chest.
+  * Dialogue and end credits update.
+  * New harp songs.
+==== v4.4.1 (August 11 2021) ====
+  * Fixed Rydia's mom reward to use ungated quest curve.
+  * Fixed an issue where an extra random tier 6+ item would be added to the key item reward pool when using ''Owin:crystal''.
+==== v4.4.0 (August 3 2021) ====
+  * Added various ''Cstart:'' flags to allow more control over possible starting characters.
+  * Added ''Orandom:gated_quest'', which allows random selection of objectives from quests that require at least one key item to complete.
+  * Altered the pool of ''Bwhichburn'' substitute attacks so that the replacement attack is always weaker than MegaNuke.
+    * Dangerous attacks are still included in the pool if ''Bunsafe'' is enabled.
+  * Add an eighth item rarity tier.
+    * ''Twildish'' weight redistributions adjusted to accommodate tier 8.
+   * Item price updates:
+    * Thunder Claw increased to 5000 GP.

+      * Gated quests:            0/0/0/10/40/40/10/0
+      * Moon quests:             0/0/0/0/30/50/15/5
+    * Trapped chest curves:
+      * Tower of Zot:            0/0/0/10/40/30/15/5
+      * Eblan:                   0/0/0/0/30/30/30/10
+      * Cave Eblan:              0/0/0/20/40/25/10/5
+      * Lower Bab-il:            0/0/0/30/45/13/10/2
+      * Upper Bab-il:            0/0/0/10/60/15/10/5
+      * Cave of Summons:         0/0/0/5/45/35/10/5

+==== v4.3.1 (April 5 2021) ====

+  * In "Battle Scars", fixed characters losing too much health after battles where someone gained a level
+  * In "The Tellah Maneuver", fixed a crash caused by attempting to cast a spell in the menu with cost > 255
+  * In "Zombies", fixed an issue where empty party slots could be targeted
+  * In "Omnidextrous", fixed an issue preventing characters from equipping shields
+  * Fixed an issue where ''-kit:random'' had no effect (as well as ''-kit2:random'' and ''-kit3:random'')
+==== v4.3.0 (April 1 2021) ====
+  * Added the April Fools 2021 flag (''-wacky:random'').
+==== v4.2.1 (March 15 2021) ====
+  * Fixed a bug where you may not receive the full contents of your starter kits.
+==== v4.2.0 (March 6 2021) ====
+  * Added "metaconfigurations" (settings that are outside the scope of flags).
+  * Moved the hidden test settings into the metaconfigurations section.
+  * Added "hidden flags" metaconfiguration, which will hide the flags used to generate the seed from the player.
+     * This will also hide the number of objectives required for objective completion.
+     * When enabled, Rosa's mom will hint at all theoretically possible key item locations, even if the (hidden) flags would exclude some of them, in order to conceal which K flags are enabled.
+  * Added ''-supersmith'', which makes Kokkol forge an FF4Advance-exclusive weapon instead of the Excalibur.
+     * Due to length limitations, Lightbringer is caled "Bringer" and Mutsunokami is called "Mutsuno".
+     * Weapons that cast spells on attack have been changed to cast those spells when used as an item.
+     * Since they do not have FF4Advance-exclusive gear options, Tellah may equip the Asura Rod and Nirvana Staff, and FuSoYa may equip the Seraphim staff and Triton's Dagger.
+     * The Fiery Hammer is fire-elemental as intended, instead of ice-elemental as bugged in FF4GBA.
+  * Added ''Chero'', the Hero challenge.
+  * Revised and added a variety of new starter kit options, and allow up to three simultaneous starter kits.
+  * Added options to generate spoilers with only a subset of information included.
+  * Added ''Cparty:*'', which limits the maximum party size.
+  * Added ''Ssell:0'', which makes items sell for 0 GP.
+     * ''Squarter'' has been renamed to ''Ssell:quarter''.
+  * Added ''Sno:life'', which excludes Life potions from shops.
+  * Added ''Tmoney'', which replaces the contents of all untrapped treasure chests with the equivalent amount of GP from selling the item. (This is the same behavior that applies to tier 1 items by default, just applied to all items.)
+  * Added ''Tmaxtier:6'', which limits the quality of items in untrapped chests to tier 6 at maximum.
+  * Added ''Cnekkie'', which changes characters' starting gear to a random tier 1-3 weapon and no armor.
+     * As a side effect of this fix, adult Rydia now has different starting gear than child Rydia, with or without this flag.
+  * Added ''-vanilla:giant'', which removes the added exit located at the start of the Giant of Bab-il.
+     * The intent of this extra exit was to prevent players getting stuck inside the Giant; when removing it, take care to make use of your extra save slots to avoid getting trapped.
+     * After completing the giant, the exit will be restored.
+  * Added ''-nocursed'', which makes Cursed Rings unavailable in the seed.
+  * Non-chest treasures now display an "Empty!" message if empty when checked.

+  * Various ASM bugfixes (special thanks to Wylem for finding these!)
+  * Dialogue and end credits updates.
+  * Added Z sprites and harp songs.
+==== v4.1.0 (June 29 2020) ====
+  * Added support for partial objective completion. Setting ''Oreq:<N>'' means you only need to complete N objectives to receive the reward.
+  * Added ''Orandom:boss/quest/char'', which allow you to restrict what kinds of objectives can be selected as random objectives.
+  * Objectives are now displayed on the pregame menu, before the flags.
+  * Re-divided the EXP flags so that each EXP augment can be individually disabled.
+    * ''-exp:split'' restores vanilla EXP division.
+    * ''-exp:nokeybonus'' removes the EXP bonus at 10 key items.
+    * ''-exp:noboost'' removes the low-level EXP slingshot.
+  * The harp song can now be accessed from the harp in Edward's hospital room in Toroia Castle, but only after the game has been completed once.

+      * New: 0/0/0/0/30/30/40

+    * You can't use B to jump in battle if your character's Fight command is disabled.
