## [git] - 2017-02-12
### Added
- (2017-02-12) Add gem hoes (using farming api).


## [git] - 2017-02-11
### Added
- (!) Make opal possible to get: added missing register_on_generated for
  changing some stone to opal (see oregen.lua).
- swords & shovels
- Add crafting recipe to convert block back into 9 gems.
- Add recipe to create `default:diamond` from `dye:blue` +
  `birthstones:diamond` for playability (for when other mods like
  technic need diamonds for things)
### Changed
- (!) Preliminary step in fixing one-chop axes: Change register_tool
  `time2` and `time3` from:
  `[1]=time1-2.0, [2]=2.0-time2, [3]=2.0-time3}`
  to
  `times={[1]=time1/2.0, [2]=time2/2.0, [3]=time3/2.0}`
- Change `* Ore` to `Stone with *` (because why copy other people when
  you can make sense instead).
- (!) Ore needs better pick to be mined: changed groups.cracky of all
  from 3 to 1
- (!) Block needs better pick to be mined: Changed groups:
```lua
	-- groups = {cracky = 3}
	groups = {cracky = 1, level = 3}
```
- (!) Change drop of ores (to match modern style from default in
  minetest_game from minetest 0.4.15-git 2017-01), where * below is
  name:
```lua
	-- drop = 'craft "birthstones:*" 1',
	drop = "birthstones:*",
```
- (!) Change drop for stone_with_topaz from stone_with_topaz to topaz
  (apparently this didn't cause an issue since craft method had been
  used).
- Componentize into separate lua files for each category of operations.


## [git] - 2017-02-10
### Changed
- Poikilos fork starts today.
- Match minetest texture & variable naming scheme:
```
    (see changes below, where ^* is capitalized mineral name and * is
    uncapitalized)
	(aliases added only for backward compatibility--see aliases.lua
	--doing aliases can be commented in init.lua)
	Files:
		^* TO birthstones_* (ITEM)
		^*_overlay TO birthstones_mineral_* (ORE OVERLAY)
		^*_block TO birthstones_*_block
		*_axe to birthstones_tool_*axe
		*_pick to birthstones_tool_*pick
		^*_block to birthstones_*_block
	Variables:
		birthstones:*ore TO birthstones:stone_with_*
		"birthstones:".. name .. "_pick" TO "birthstones:pick_"..name
		"birthstones:".. name .. "_axe" TO "birthstones:axe_"..name
```
- (!) Capitalize stone name when used within tool display name.
- (!) Fix issue where topaz ore was registered twice (didn't seem to
  cause problems)
- (!) Remove month from display names to avoid breaking immersion (draws
  too much attention to the items having a "label") if re-added, months
  would have to be corrected anyway as follows (in the original mod,
  alphabetical order instead of actual birthstone month determined
  month): see src/birthstones list.csv
