    Angband 4.0.4 released

    Angband 4.0.4 is now available for Windows, OS X and as source. Rephial will update soon.

    Pretty much all bugfixes, although I've called some of them changes to make myself look better.

    Note that you can also get compiled versions for Windows and OS X which play the same as 4.0.4 except for including the split of ignore for DSMs and launchers (which has had to be left out of 4.0.4 regular for savefile compatibility with the previous 4.0.x versions).

    Changes:
    • Remove some global variables
    • Allow ego types to remove flags from base types
    • Make Potions of Resist Poison also cure poison
    • Improve pickup of partial stacks
    • Disturb on first getting the object feeling
    • Minor code improvements

    Bugfixes:
    • Stop crashes where use of an object destroys the object
    • Let Windows port accept a filename from the command line again
    • Speed up inventory/equipment refresh
    • Let hit to shatter move the player again
    • Stop autoinscriptions preventing object spoiler generation
    • Make study indicator work for books on the ground
    • Stop status effects happening after the player's death
    • Make randart lights keep the original activations
    • Make all new randart sets based on the standard artifacts
    • Stop animations interfering with the target path
    • Allow group monsters to melee the player in open areas again
    • Make info for spells like Banish Evil say "power" rather than "dam"
    One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
    In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

    Thanks, Nick! You are the man! Looks like I'll have to play another @. This time with randarts.

        Been away from *banding for too long now. I'm downloading the latest version now to fix that. Can't wait to check it out.

        Thanks a lot for the hard work!

          LOL. I just started playing again last night for the first time since 3.5 and I have to upgrade again? ;-)

          Seriously though, Thanks for all the hard work on 4.0 folks! And the continued bug fixes. It's a lot more support than most commercial games ever get and that's because you all CARE!

                "Stop animations interfering with the target path"

                Does that fix not being able to manually target Morgoth with missiles when trying to cheezily kill him while he's walking a long corridor?
