Hello, everyone!

In the past few days, I have been focusing on squishing some of our
annoying bugs. I have also implemented some other small changes:

The "aflame" affliction will now be tracking who gave the affliction to
you, and if you die to the flames, the afflicter will be credited with
the kill and will also receive the relevant achievement if appropriate.
This also applies to firelords and efreetis.

I have also unified the lists of commands that can be performed during
various long actions. Noticeable changes include ability to use messages
while sleeping, read news while blackwinded, say/tell while splicing and
cancelling wormholes, and a few others.
