T-Engine4 / ToME4 beta3 unleashed!

[DarkGod]

As promised here comes T-Engine4 and ToME4 beta3 !
http://blog.te4.org/ http://tome.te4.org/ http://te4.org/

This release improves many aspects of the game, adds new content after
Tol Falas, introduces a new unlockable class, the Sun Paladin.

Note: the windows binaries are now compiled in debug mode, so people
who experienced random crash please run it under gdb for me (see this
link: http://doku.t-o-m-e.net/tome4:running_tome_with_gdb)

Note2: When you’ll have unlocked sun paladins you’ll probably notice
they do not start in a "logical" location, that’s normal I’ll implement
it later but I wanted people to try them.

OSX binaries will come hopefully tomorrow and this time around we fixed
them
