Change. (Read the changes.txt file ). If you destroy with 'k', then it asks you if you want to squelch that type permanently instead.

(Read the changes.txt file).

I stopped reading the changes.txt file because there is no easy way to spot what has changed in the current build.

The changes.txt should have the following format,(just an example):

Angband 3.1.1
=============

This is an Angband development version -- it may be buggy, so be warned!
Special thanks to: Eddie Grove, Elly, Stefan O'Rear, Mango Juice, Gabriel
Cunningham

Gameplay/UI changes:
Make the {excellent}-on-wield check work for jewellery too.
Make the object knowledge list sort some items by sval rather than alphabetically.
Items trying to be dropped on the floor now attempt to delete the oldest item on that grid that's been squelched.

Bugs fixed or changes:

r1162:
  (#62) Game is now available entirely under the GPL.
  (#521, #597, #635) Stop the slow launches and occasional non-launches on Windows.

And as I wrote, this is just an exmple. I havent sorted through the changes to put it under the right revision.
edit: I should I have put latest first!

Hmm. You make a fair point. I've added a 'changes' link to the nightlies page; hopefully that helps a bit.

[NeoWizard]

And where is this changes link? I might have the wrong nightlies page, I use rephial.org/nightlies and I dont see a changes link

Try force-refresh of the page in your browser. The links are definitely there.

http://rephial.org/release

http://rephial.org/nightlies/

I must be dumb! Could you provide the link? So I can see what could be wrong on my side?

The nightlies link is indeed the correct one. It should look like:

If you've done a control-f5 refresh then I don't know what to suggest.

[NeoWizard]

Got it, I flushed my temp files and it works now, thanks
By the way I use firefox!

Just as an aside, you can usually force a refresh by adding a '?' to the end of a query, as in:

http://rephial.org/nightlies?

(Note that this:

http://rephial.org/nightlies/?

gives the full directory, which is kind of nice, too.)
