Converted characters actually stick now

5.3.80 · September 1, 2026

 - If you converted an old character and it vanished, try again:
   last release brought the 4.0/4.5 import back, but a converted
   character was not being attached to your account -- so it looked
   like nothing happened and you had no one to play.  That is fixed.
   Convert again (account menu, C) and your character will be
   there and ready.  (Thanks to the returning player who reported it.)
 - Quest companions can no longer be renamed: renaming a quest
   follower such as Kalare could quietly break the events tied to its
   name.  Those companions now refuse renaming.  (Reported by Gary.)
