Apparently the patch for the bug I reported in 2004 (C343-20) didn't make it into this version, despite being fixed four years ago. The glacial timescales are kind of endearing at this point.

They just moved to github so maybe time will be measured in months instead of decades.

Is this available on any websites that don't require Javascript to view?

(Seriously folks, there's no reason a static site like this should need JS enabled to read, except for tracking purposes.)

I'd like to plug DCSS here:

I could never get into any other roguelikes, but I LOVE Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. I easily have over 100 hours in it, and just recently finished an actual game for the first time (15 runes, Gargoyle Hunter).

The most game-changing additions, IMO:

> "Elbereth" now erodes based on attacks by the player, not monsters scared

> Allow taming monkeys and apes with bananas

> Peacefuls may react when you attack other peacefuls

Also, I'm happy about these QoL changes:

> New status line conditions Stone Strngl Deaf Lev Fly Ride

> Give feedback just before timed levitation runs out

So... "elberethelberethelberethelbereth" won't work anymore, either.
