		+	==3.6.0==
		+	Sting, Orcrist, and Grimtooth now glow. Sting_effects in artifact.c, line 1843. Sting and Orcrist glow light blue, Grimtooth glows red. They will "quiver" instead if you are blind. This also affects inventory descriptions, and will add "(glowing <color>)" or just "(glowing") if you are blind. That's in objnam.c, line 964.
		+
		+	Additionally, polymorphing can warn you of other monsters: Vampires are warned of humans and elves (this includes elf zombies/mummies, but not human zombies. Probably a bug). Purple worms are warned of shriekers. -- [[User:Qazmlpok\|Qazmlpok]] ([[User talk:Qazmlpok\|talk]]) 22:59, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

	Might be interesting to add a note on how warning was handled in earlier versions of Nethack. I don't remember the exact syntax, or when the change occurred (which is why I'm not doing the edit myself), but I do remember it was annoying when having the intrinsic and constantly getting messages like "You feel apprehensive as you sense a <color> flash", with black being the color for the toughest monsters. --[[User:Funcrunch\|Funcrunch]] 02:33, 14 January 2012 (UTC)		Might be interesting to add a note on how warning was handled in earlier versions of Nethack.

	:::Oh, right. Thanks! I get the numbers back if I switch the display to ASCII.
