  • Followers of worshippers of Beogh and Yredelemnul can now be recalled across levels.
  • Followers of Beoghites now share experience when the player scores kills.
  • Yredelemnul gives a small amount of piety for desecrating holy remains.
  • Vehumet is overhauled: Now grants damaging spells one-at-a-time (available from the (M)emorization screen), partially based on your elemental skills. No longer supports summoning, accepts ally kills, or reduces spell MP cost.
  • Zin's Imprisonment placement is much more forgiving, pushing adjacent monsters out of the way if possible.
  • Lugonu's Enter the Abyss no longer reduces maximum HP or MP.
  • Lugonu no longer gives piety for anything in the Abyss.
  • Mobile Fedhas-granted allies follow you across levels en masse.
  • New Xom effects: loud noises, blink monsters, enchant monster (petrify, slow, paralysis, enslavement; haste, might, invisibility), summon shadow creatures.
  • Xom does not reduce stats as drastically, unless bored.
  • Xom will not animate or swap weapons in the Abyss, and will not hostilely animate your weapon at all anymore.

Interface


  • Many updated tiles.
  • A new Android Port with touch-screen support.
  • New options: auto_sacrifice, dump_on_save, item_glyph, monster_list_colour, tile_cell_pixels, tile_filter_scaling.
  • Removed options: sacrifice_before_explore (now part of auto_sacrifice), annotate_item_class, annotate_item_dropped, autoinscribe_artefacts, show_no_ctele, menu_colour_prefix_class, menu_colour_shops, list_rotten.
  • Player action counts and generated vaults are now included in dumps by default.
  • List options can be prepended to with ^=.
  • The "evil_eating" and "evil_item" menu-colouring prefixes are renamed to "forbidden".
  • Explosion and cloud spells will try to target a spot adjacent to an out-of-range monster before falling back to the player's position, but will ignore plants.
  • It is possible to restrict a ctrl-f stash search to the current level by prefixing it with "@".
  • Swap the cycle ammunition commands. '(' = backward, ')' = forward.
  • Webtiles supports real-time animations, toggleable via F10.
  • Webtiles displays miniature health and MP bars on the player.
  • Allies can now be ordered to retreat in a specific direction.

Technical


  • Numerous crash fixes.
  • Crashes during level transition no longer result in broken saves.
