Stepping on a mimic potion and placing the mimic are counted as separate turns for the undo count, so if for instance you have 3 undos and you step on a mimic potion, you can only go back two turns.

This is particularly annoying with single undo, as it means you can't go back to the previous turn at all -- for those who know DROD history, that's the way things used to work in JtRH, and it was changed in TCB after heavy demand.

This should be fixed now, see this thread. I'd appreciate it if someone could verify it.

I don't think there's a public build with this fix in it yet. I'll work on getting up a new dev build with this fix included for verification.

Sorry, I meant that once the next dev build is published - now I want to figure out if there is a way we could setup things so that a build is automatically made and published on each merge to master.

Yeah, auto-publishing the latest "Release" binary on github would be great.

Can confirm that in 5.1.1.alpha.2020-10-16 placing a double counts as a "free" move as far as undo limits are concerned.
