The most important Emerald Mine game engine related changes are:
support for wrap-around levels (like level 80 from level set “Ruppelmine 2”)
improved handling of chain-explosions of the “bug” game element
improved handling of the “fake acid” game element
improved handling of various other game elements (like burning dynamite)
