This is the list of changes for Kamband 1.8c, which was put together
by Tim Baker to make some user-interface improvements and fix some
bugs.
Version 1.8c
============
o Added "known monsters" display to the Knowledge command.
o Fixed a bug where INSTA_PET monsters could be created without being
turned into pets. Ever wonder why some King's Soldiers were hostile?
o Added the "Inspect (I)" command to the store display.
o Made sure to combine/reorder the pack and update subwindows when
buying/selling items.
o Fixed a bug where the "/ for Floor" prompt" might be displayed
when choosing an item and there were no valid floor items.
o Fixed a problem with repeated pack-reordering messages when two identical
un-stackable items are in the pack.
o Fixed a bug preventing the character from leaving the Arena if it was entered
more than once during a visit.
o Fixed a bug which broke the savefile. (Items rotted away in the Home were
not deleted.)
o Fixed a bug with pets blocking your movement if you were in a tree or some
other (non-floor) feature the pet could move through.
o Fixed occasional infinite loop when getting a building reward.
o Changed the inventory display to show the total weight of a stack, not the
weight of a single item.
o Fiddled with town lighting again.
Version 1.8b
============
o Add Bigscreen support
o New "center_running" option can be turned off to disable the "center_player"
option while running
o Objects inscribed with =g will automatically be picked up, regardless of any
pickup options. Inscribe your ammo!
o Gold will always be picked up
o The "easy_alter" and "easy_open" options were added to the Game-Play page
of the options
o Removed random annoying messages about hitting a wall when running
o Improved inventory command. The -/+/=/space keys can be used to scroll
through whole *pages* of items. The game also allows you to type a new
command while looking at your inventory.
o Improved equipment command allows you to enter a command while looking at
your equipment
o Added "verify_destroy" and "verify_destroy_junk" to the Disturbance page of
the options.
o Added the "time of day" command, ^T or '
o The screen dump commands now ask you for a file name.
o The keymap/macro facility was updated to Angband 2.8.3
o The spell/power display is now colorized, depending on the status of each
spell
o Improved the browse command so you can repeatedly select spells to see the
spell comment
o Added a whole new display for mixing ingredients. All the known recipes
are displayed in a scrollable list, along with their ingredients. Color
is used to indicate which ingredients are available, which ingredients
are currently mixed, and which recipes can actually be mixed.
o Added the "hidden_pet_messages" option to the Kamband page of the options.
When "show_pet_messages" and "hidden_pet_messages" are on, pet messages
are not displayed if fighting pets are not visible.
o Fixed town lighting when the sun rises/sets, when the "wiz_lite_town" option
is on
o Race-specific and class-specific preference files are read in when a game
starts
o You can read and write options to a file through the options display. Window
flags are also saved.
o The lib\user\birth.prf file is read when a character is created, to set
default options
o The Windows version has a bunch of menus with game commands, and improved
performance when drawing the screen. Any fixed-width font installed on
your computer can be chosen, in addition to the supplied font files.
o The embedded <Slot> names are no longer displayed in the equipment display,
if "show_labels" is on.
o When selecting an item, the -/+/=/space keys are used to scroll through
whole pages of items.
o Object stacking/sorting is more robust and feels like the original Angband.
Similar objects are combined in the stores and home. Spell books always
come first. Pack items are reordered when objects are used/identified.
o Restored the original Angband store display. The -/+/=/space keys are used
to browse through pages of stock.
