Important changes from version 0.9.4 Gamma x to 0.9.9
-----------------------------------------------------
Basically about everything. Save files are incompatible. Lots of
configuration options and a couple of commands have been added.
Delete [.]adom.cfg and [.]adom.kdb before starting ADOM 0.9.9 so
that these files can be recreated by ADOM.
Important changes from version 0.9.4 to 0.9.4 Gamma 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Sadly save files are incompatible. ADOM 0.9.4 contained an annoying
bug which horribly corrupts save files at times and thus there is no
compatibility. Sorry...
Important changes from version 0.9.3 (alpha x) to 0.9.4
-------------------------------------------------------
* Save files from earlier versions can't be used with ADOM 0.9.4.
* Both the files '[.]adom.cfg' and '[.]adom.kbd' are now kept in the
data directory.
* Several new commands have been added. You either should delete
'.adom.kbd' (or 'adom.kbd' under DOS) or add the following to that
file:
-----> Cut here
#
# Give item to monster
#
GIV:g
#
# Set variable
#
SEV::=
#
# Swap position with monster
#
SWA::s
-----> Cut here
* Since some internal commands now also use keybindings, you might want
to read this:
# IMPORTANT NOTE:
# While in theory you can redefine the keys in any way you like in
# practice this is not necessarily recommened, because some functions
# in ADOM expect certain command *not* to be bound to certain letters.
#
# The following commands (the abbreviations from the definitions are
# used)
#
# MON MNW MOW MSW MOS MSE MOE MNE WAT
#
# should *NOT* be bound to one of the following keys (separated by white-
# space):
#
# t T z Z \S + -
#
# You *can* set them to one of the keys mentioned but this breaks all
# functions for targetting and determining directions. You have been
# warned.
* Finally you might want to add the followingf definition to [.]adom.cfg:
-----> Cut here
Auto_Lock_Nearest = true
Low_Hitpoint_Warning = true
-----> Cut here
Important changes from version 0.9.2 to 0.9.3
---------------------------------------------
* Save files from earlier versions can't be used with ADOM 0.9.3.
Important changes from version 0.9.1 to 0.9.2
---------------------------------------------
* Save files from earlier versions can't be used with ADOM 0.9.2.
* Several new commands have been added. You either should delete
'.adom.kbd' (or 'adom.kbd' under DOS) or add the following to that
file:
-----> Cut here
#
# Create short character logfile
#
CSL:(
#
# Create verbose character logfile
#
CVL:)
#
# Create screenshot
#
CSS:[
#
# Display name of your deity
#
DID::g
#
# Display weapon skills
#
DWS:\Cw
-----> Cut here
In addition one binding needs to be redefined:
-----> Cut here
#
# Display monster wound status
#
MWS::w
-----> Cut here
* You probably also should delete the file '.adom.cfg' (or 'adom.cfg')
under DOS to make ADOM create a new one. Alternatively you could
try out the following new settings:
-----> Cut here
Colored_Menus = true
Colored_PC = true
-----> Cut here
Important changes from version 0.9.0 to 0.9.1
---------------------------------------------
* Save files from earlier versions can't be used with ADOM 0.9.1.
* One new command has been added. You either should delete '.adom.kbd'
(or 'adom.kbd' under DOS) or add the following to that file:
-----> Cut here
#
# Examine environment
#
EXE:l
-----> Cut here
In addition the 'Look' keybinding needs to be changed to
-----> Cut here
# Look
#
LOK:\Cl
-----> Cut here
Important changes from version 0.8.4 to 0.9.0
---------------------------------------------
* Several new commands have been added. You either should delete '.adom.kbd'
(or 'adom.kbd' under DOS) or add the following to that file:
-----> Cut here
#
# Continuous search
#
CSE:ws
#
# Display burden levels
#
DBL::b
#
# Display companions
#
DCO::c
#
# Display elapsed game time
#
DET:\Ce
#
# Display missile statistics
#
DMS:M
-----> Cut here
In addition the 'Display message buffer' keybinding needs to be changed to
-----> Cut here
#
# Display message buffer
#
MSG::m
-----> Cut here
* Save files from earlier versions of ADOM are _not_ compatible to 0.9.0!
Important changes from version 0.8.3 to 0.8.4
---------------------------------------------
* One new command has been added. You either should delete '.adom.kbd'
(or 'adom.kbd' under DOS) or add the following to that file:
-----> Cut here
#
# Switch auto-pickup on/off
#
CAP:\Ca
-----> Cut here
Important changes from version 0.8.2 to 0.8.3
---------------------------------------------
* Strings in configuration variables now must be enclosed in ''s. If you
did not add anything to 'adom.cfg' (.adom.cfg on Linux-systems) you might
want to delete the old file to take advantage of all the new variables.
* Three new commands have been added. Thus some new key bindings are
necessary. If you did not redefine any key bindings, simply delete
.adom.kbd (or adom.kbd) and everything is fine. If you did redefine
some key bindings, you probably should add the following lines to your
keymap file:
-----> Cut here
#
# Activate trap
#
ACT:\Ct
#
# Switch the required (more) key
#
CMK:\Ck
#
# Display kick statistics
#
KST:K
-----> Cut here
Save files are compatible to save files generated with ADOM 0.8.1 and
ADOM 0.8.2.
Important changes from version 0.8.1 to 0.8.2
---------------------------------------------
Only one important change should be noted:
* One new command has been added. Thus a new key binding was necessary. If
you did not redefine any key bindings, simply delete .adom.kbd (or adom.kbd)
and everything is fine. If you did redefine some key bindings, you probably
should add the following lines to your keymap file:
-----> Cut here
#
# Pick up items comfortably
#
CPC:\Cp
-----> Cut here
If you would like to use another key binding simply replace the \Cp by
something else.
Savefiles are compatible from 0.8.1 to 0.8.2!
Important changes from version 0.8.0 to 0.8.1
---------------------------------------------
Some changes have taken place:
* Save files once more use a new format. You can't load save files from
any version before 0.8.1.
* ADOM now writes a default configuration file if none is found. To make
full use of the new configuration options you should rename or delete
your old configuration file (.adom.cfg under Linux or adom.cfg under DOS).
* You now can redefine the key bindings. See the file adom.kbd (under DOS)
or .adom.kbd (under Linux) for details. This file is created when ADOM is
started the first time. Please note also the use of 'adom -r' which will
create a reference file containing the new key bindings.
Important changes from version 0.7.1 to 0.8.0
---------------------------------------------
Two major changes were made to ADOM, which both might be slightly
inconvenient to you:
* Save files from 0.7.1 can't be used in 0.8.0 (due to major internal
changes). This might happen again in future versions.
* The highscore file generated by ADOM 0.7.1 also can't be used in version
0.8.0. This is a very sad thing, but I promise, that it won't ever again
be necessary to undergo such a major upheaval.
Other changes are detailed in the file 'techstat.doc' which included
in the package for your operating system.
