+       * changed level file format by adding two new chunks "CUSX" (for custom
+         elements, replacing the previous "CUS4" chunk) and "GRPX" (for group
+         elements, replacing the previous "GRP1" chunk); these new IFF style
+         chunks use the new and flexible "micro chunks inside chunks" technique
+         already used with the new "CONF" chunk (for normal element properties)
+         which makes it possible to easily extend the existing level format
+         (instead of using fixed-length chunks like before, which are either
+         too big due to reserved bytes for future use, or too small when those
+         reserved bytes have all been used and even more data should be stored,
+         requiring the replacement by new and larger chunks just like it went
+         with "CUS1" to "CUS4"); this whole problem now does not exist anymore
