Update notes for release 56.5.1

Fixed a bug where mouseover on an unseen creature would change the cursor color to red or green. (thanks to vehementi for reporting)
Death of a god is written into the obituary history log even if the event was unseen.
Some typos fixed.
Leaderboard entries from the last 24h are now marked in green.

Using a Scroll of Disjunction didn't create a Scroll of Energy Weapon. Fixed. (thanks to vehementi for reporting)

Tweaked the game start a bit so that there won't be that many hostile creatures in the areas next to the starting room.
Tweaked later dungeon levels so that the starting area won't be created next to a throneroom.
Fixed a bug where the Orb of Dragonkind didn't affect wyverns although the item's description said so. (thanks to vehementi for reporting)
Steam achievement listing in obituary file's miscellaneous statistics was empty after a save game was loaded. Fixed.
If you use WASD keybindings, you can use the [W], [S], and [D] commands with [CONTROL] in the autopilot screen. Added a note about it to the autopilot help. (thanks to vehementi for reporting)

Fixed a bug where flicking the switch in Sunrise rooms would not damage hostile, neutral undead. Now it deals energy-damage to hostile, neutral undead and holy-damage to evil undead. Doesn't damage undead companions. (thanks to Suejak for reporting)
Animal Friend can now try to tame foxes, jackals, and zorbos. (thanks to Suejak and others for reporting).
Halflings now get the Expert Trapper talent at 1st level.

Fixed a bug where you could recruit companions over the recruitment limit. (thanks to FrigidRock for reporting)
Hopefully fixed a bug where examining a creature could cause a "List index out of bounds (-1)" error on some game window configurations. (thanks to Pulshach and Rascal07 for reporting)
The "Speed Burst" talent is now a free action (doesn't take time). (Thanks to Vulkn for the idea. Another one of those "Doh! Should have been like that from the beginning" moments.)
Some AI tweaks.
Unlocked Steam achievements are now logged into the obituary (miscellaneous statistics & history). As some players have reported problems with achievements, an error message is written to the log / obituary history if something goes wrong.
Tip: If you want a companion to be a pure melee warrior, equip a melee weapon into both of his weapon sets. You have to equip the second weapon "by hand", otherwise the companion drops the reduntant weapon. Companions won't change equipment slotted by you.
Note: Check these settings if you're annoyed by fleeing enemies:
- Never flee: If checked, creatures other than you or your companions never flee. Some creatures, usually those using ranged attacks or spells, still try to maintain distance.
- Never blink: If checked, creatures other than you or your companions never blink (teleport away).
- Character obituary will not be sent to the leaderboard when these settings are used.
