*** Miscellaneous ***
- Corrected multiple issues that could cause an NPC's death to be credited to someone that didn't actually do the most damage to it.

- Fixed the mail icon on the selector window always showing unread mail when using the older UI.
- Tweaked the quantity window so it can now be escaped.

You can enable it by either checking the appropriate box in the display tab of the options window, or by adding UseNewUIEngine=0 in the Defaults section of your eqclient.ini. Please note that you MUST restart your client for the change to take effect!
- When holding an item (or hot button or spell gem) and zoning, the attached icon should now be much closer to your cursor instead of at the top left of the screen.
- Fixed typos and consistency mistakes in Inventory Stats and Mercenary tooltips.

_____________________
*** Highlights ***
- Claws of Veeshan is now free-to-play.

*** UI ***
- Removed the specific display of Legacy bonuses in experience messages to be more consistent with other bonus messaging.
- Power sources will no longer display colored lines on the screen when in the bank.
- Hotbuttons with an assigned icon will now show the proper icon when on the cursor.

- Added commas to messages received upon login about purchases (or sales) you made on an offline buyer or trader.

- Improved the display of skill damage mod stat differences (e.g. kick) when comparing items.
