Elements
--------
* Clients older than this version can neither show newer elements nor display
elements with new arguments correctly.

be shown if the inventory list is of size 0.
* **Note**: With the new coordinate system, the spacing between inventory
- slots is one-fourth the size of an inventory slot.
