Angband 3.5.1 released

Magnate · January 4, 2015, 00:07

Good evening,

After two dormant years on the devteam I'm pleased to announce the release of Angband 3.5.1. This is a bugfix release for 3.5.0 and contains only the following changes:

* Allow stores to be given items for recharging in no_selling (thanks PowerWrym)
* Fix crash bug with non-ASCII characters in monster + object lists (#1811)
* Fix a bug introduced with monster lights that makes monsters stupider
* Display level feelings in the status bar (thanks LuthienCeleste)
* Fix player history log turncount bug (#1815)
* Fix bugs where mimics could sometimes be hasted without being woken up (#1821)
* Fix the curses port ascii walls option & wall lighting bug (#1813)
* Fix bug where pressing 'e' with no equipment would bring up inventory (#1824)
* Update help files and improve some in-game explanatory text.
* Remove occasional double object feelings
* Fix bug where down stairs could occur on quest levels without killing the boss (#1802)
* Fix some memory leaks (thanks noz)
* Fix bug where identifying items in the quiver would say they were on the ground (#1820)
* Fix bug where randarts could get the remove curse activation
* Fix bug where artifacts sometimes weren't located
* Fix bug where sometimes identifying objects would produce strange effects when selecting later objects
* Fix bug where hitting monsters with missile weapons at maximum range would damage them twice (thanks shadowsun)
* Fix Windows 8 compilation & Windows DLL issue
* Fix build problems with HTML and PDF manual generation (#1810, #1831)
* Fix some unit tests

I'm going to bed, but it will shortly be available on rephial.org. In the meantime it's available from the autobuilders (Windows, OSX).

A happy 2015 to you all,

CC

Great stuff! Thanks for your efforts

Congrats on the release, Magnate (and, of course, everyone else who contributed)! Thanks again for dedicating your spare time to the devteam.

Great! Thanks, time to dl.

Excellent job, Magnate.

In particular, thanks so much for doing all this stuff that other people (ie me) didn't want to think about, and doing it efficiently, thoroughly and with a minimum of fuss.

For everyone else: this should be the last 3.x release. The current plan is that there will be a 4.0 beta release fairly soon, and a proper 4.0 release not too long after that. 4.0 will be (almost) unchanged in gameplay from 3.5, but with a massive revamp of the codebase to simplify future changes, implementation on different platforms, etc.

From one developer to another: I see what you did there.

Just to make sure before i go and install it this bug fix release is fully compatible with saves from 3.5.0 correct?

Thanks all for working on stomping these bugs. Selling for recharge looks especially useful!

Should be - taking a precautionary copy of your savefile before loading it in to the new version is never a bad idea, though.
