[p] Release Notes [/p]

• [p]Add new hints system - this replaces the old popup hints during quests. Hints are now shown in a floating/movable window. Each hint can be closed and has an expandable area with more detail.

Hints are intended to quickly help players learn the game mechanics during the early stages of the game.,[/p]
