cur_num is recalculated on loading, so just resuming play should make the game understand that Sauron isn't there, even pre-bugfixes.

(Indeed, pre-bugfixes, the game would have considered Sauron not there and allowed him to generate even with Wolf-Sauron or Vampire-Sauron present...)

Oooh that's fun! Fight 3 Saurons at once!

Thanks. Very nice job, Sideways! Thanks to Nick too in advance.

I'd rather find some minor bugs from now on

In past versions of MAngband, you could face multiple Morgoths because 1) he could summon himself and 2) he was only unique per player instead of per level

Was there a change to the way stacking works or am I missing something in the options? In the past, if I was standing on an item and I dropped something from my inventory, it would drop into a nearby empty floor space assuming there is one. In 4.2.1, it drops on top of the item on the floor and is the first of the two that I pick up, even if I'm surrounded by empty floor.

Yes, that was a recent change.

I love this change. Especially helpful when fighting a monster and for some reason have to drop something. It helps that it doesn't roll out under the monster @ is fighting, where it can't be retrieved or used from the floor.

There's something wrong with Staff of the Magi information not updating. My @, a Dwarf Druid, uses the Staff and sees mana restored, yet the information on the staff in his inventory says only that, "It can be activated."

Yes, this is a known bug with devices first activated off the floor.

OK, new macOS build is up on the nightlies page (windows build is still broken), and on angband.live (source is here) with the following changes:

Performance improvement by Kusunose
Food counter fix by Sideways
Multiple shapechange fixes by Sideways
Fix to roguelike key issues in macOS by backwardsEric
Fix to inconsistencies when mimics get teleported by backwardsEric (ie when anyone teleports a mimic...)
Improvement to ID which should fix the problem with IDing devices first used off the floor; backwardsEric again
