Gumband 2.3.1 is available at http://angband.oook.cz/gumband/
After a long wait, this is a relatively minor update after the much larger changes in 2.3.0. In part, this is because it only draws on one novel for material, but also because I have been kept very busy with other things.
So what is new? Some bug fixes. Some tweaks to play, including some attempts to reduce pointless deaths: deadliness of Change Self has been reduced and paralysis cumulativeness vastly reduced. Two new artifacts and one old artifact upgraded. Nine new monsters, one with a new attack. I can't claim this is the big, exciting new Gumband you have to try. But if you haven't tried 2.3.0, this version should be a better presentation of the changes that were there (new and revised races, a good number of monster and item changes, overhaul of mutations and increased number of mutations possible, etc.). I do feel this minor nature of this release has allowed it to be the most polished Gumband I have yet produced and I hope its appearance will renew some interest in this variant.
