- Compatible with 0.2.2 savefiles, except if randarts were used. Note that due to the changes to the ranger class, ranger characters might forget spells that they have previously known - but they will regain the spells when they acheive the proper levels.
- Upgraded base version to Angband 2.9.2, including all the security upgrades, the contenxt-sensitive help, the new pref folder, improved error checking, saving the game before the tombstone, improvements to wizard mode, and windows behavior, plus quite a few code changes invisible to the player. Also includes fixes to the randart, home examining and g_info init bugs found in 2.9.2. Note that the files necessary for autoconf support have not been included, but in general the 2.9.2 files should work (or be adaptable to) EyAngband.
- Rangers now gain spells a little later from the some of the mage books. They also no longer gain bonuses to charisma and constitution during character creation. They still gain spells a lot sooner compared to Vanilla rangers, though.
- Unless they are always on, small levels now affect level feeling, with smaller levels having a greater effect.
- Reorganized the message colours -
- Made the "hitpoint warning" message bright red (not orange like in Vanilla) by default, so that it's easier to spot.
- Added a new message types for completion (succesful or failed) of quests, which is yellow by default.
- Added many additional message types, but left their default colors white.
- Updated the helpfiles a bit.
- The "scroll_target" option now on by default. Also, it has been moved from the efficiency menu to the gameplay menu.
- When running low on fuel, the light radius for lamps now decreases gradually.
- In cases where the choice is obvious, you will no longer be asked which ring to replace when wielding a new one (thanks to Richard Klinda for the patch).
- Maximum amount of monsters per level in z_info increased to 1024.
- Maximum amount of quests raised in z_info to 128 (so you will never run out of them).
- Both artifact spellbooks made more powerful by reducing the fail rates - the Codex also gained a new spell.
- v_info.txt reogranized (it is no longer identical to the Vanilla one, though it does not include any different vaults).
- Exiting the options screen now saves the game (in order to avoid cheat_no_save exploitation).
- Cheat/Debug options reogranized -
- Now all cheat options are reset if a new character is started from an old savefile.
- Instead of the rigorous confirmation process you had to go through to activate debug mode, there is now a new cheat option "cheat_debug" which activates it. If it is off, CTRL-a does nothing.
- Similarly, wizard mode is now a cheat option ("cheat_wizard"). Note that it no longer protects you from dying, since you can acheive that effect by turning on cheat_live seperately. Also note that it no longer changes your class title to wizard. Finally, you no longer have to restart wizard mode after loading the game. CTRL-W no longer has any effect. Using a command-line argument to enter wizard mode now turns on the cheat option.
- The cheat option "cheat_no_save" now only prevents saves upon death, not upon exit from the game.
- The BRAND_VENOM flag has been renamed BRAND_POIS for compatibility with Vanilla.
- The GLOW flag made considerably more useful - it now increases your light radius by one, up to a maximum of four squares. Several artifacts that had the GLOW flag lost it (mainly the ones that were powerful enough as it is), while others gained it. Weapons of Gondolin lost the flag. Helms of light made slightly more expensive. Weapons of the Day now have the GLOW flag, and are more expensive. New Amulets of Brightness have the GLOW flag.
- Weapons of the night now give a bonus to stealth, and are more expensive. One artifact weapon with BRAND_DARK also gained a stealth bonus.
- Musical instruments are somewhat less common in the early game.
- Water hounds now deeper, worth more EXP, and breathe slightly less often.
- Skeletons can no longer bleed.
- The display character screen now correctly reports temporary resistances.
- Fixed ranger enchant spell descriptions so they don't incorrectly claim that the spells can enchant bolts.
- Fixed a bug calculating starting offers in stores.
- Not compatible with older savefiles. Sorry.
- Added new "easy mode", which considerably lowers monster HP, and gives better prices at stores. You also start with an additional 500 GP. However, scores are reduced by 75%.
- The system for player attacks with "special" effects (confusing, blinding, etc.) has been totally redone; you can no longer affect monsters that are immune to the attack, and the player is notified of the effect, and missiles now will have the proper effects. Also, confusion attacks (from a scroll of monster confusion) no longer depend on the player's level but rather on the amount of damage inflicted.
- Rangers now get spells from the third spellbook (Incantations and Illusions) 2 levels later than before (i.e. Identify is now level 15).
- Modified critical hit rules:
- Now you get a different critical hit effect based on weapon type. Polearms retain the old system. Swords, arrows and bolts now cause less damage upon a critical hit but will also induce bleeding. Hafted weapons and shots cause less damage upon a critical hit but will also stun monsters, and on very good critical hits also sometimes confuse them.
- The effect of critical hits now more level dependant (though not very significantly so).
- Critical hits for shooting and throwing seperated. Neither is dependant on the weight of the missile anymore (since this difference was meaningless in the case of missiles and plain stupid in the case of thrown stuff - try throwing a dagger and a plate armour and see what gives you better hits).
- Critical hits are somewhat affected by class - there is a new class flag BETTER_CRITICAL which causes improved critical hits and is given to the warrior class.
- There's also a BETTER_SHOT flag which gives a similar improvement to missile criticals (given to rangers).
- Priests (and custom classes with the BLESSED_WEAPON flag) will never score a critical hit with a non-blessed sharp weapon.
- Some levels may now be small, which means that they will take less than the full number of panels. Unlike in other variants, they are not optional, but relatively rare. (thanks to Joseph William Dixon for his assistance).
- New birth option - birth_force_small_level. Every level will be generated as a small level.
- Destoryed levels slightly rarer.
- Rangers can no longer brand/enchant bolts - only arrows.
- Some swords changed for more variety: Long swords now do 2d6 base damage and worth slightly more money, Scimitars now weigh 9 pounds. Cutlasses now do 2d3 damage. Small swords completely removed. Some artifacts changed - sting is now a short sword, Gondricam now does 2d3 damage, Anguirel and Elvagil do 2d6, Haradekket now weighs 9 pounds.
- New ammo types: Spiked Bullet (heavy sling ammo), Biting Arrow (better damage, but 95% of breaking), Tough Arrow (heavier, more expensive than normal, but only 10% of breaking), Bite Bolt (as biter arrow).
- New SLAY_HUMANOID and SLAY_PERSON flags for weapons replacing the old SLAY_ORC, SLAY_GIANT, SLAY_TROLL flags. New ego items of slay humanoid and slay person have replaced the old items. New weapons of Carnage which have both flags. Many artifact weapons changed to reflect the new flags.
- Some artifact powers changed a bit.
- Changed the way the PVAL description works. Now, all possible effects have descriptions (i.e. +1 con), not just some of them. If an item has more than one pval-dependant flag, it just shows the plus (like HIDE_TYPE). As a result, HIDE_TYPE removed from all artifacts and is now present only on some ego-items, rings and similar items to avoid displays such as "Ring of strength (+1 str)".
- k_info.txt gains a new row - X:, which determines the quantity of items in a stack, and the chance that item will break when thrown/fired (both values were previously hardcoded, dependant on item type). Items with the X: row missing will act the same as before. Some items will now gain more appropriate quantities (especially food which will no longer appear in such large quantities), and more appropriate breakage chances.
- Removed all junk items (empty bottles, broken sticks, shards of pottery, ruined chest). Also removed Hard Biscuits, Pints of Fine Ale and Pints of Fine Wine. The relative large amount of items added in this and previous versions made junk items redundant.
- Shooters of Extra-might display streamlined - instead of (for instance): short bow of Extra Might (x2) (+1, +1) (+1), it will show: Short bow of Extra Might (x3) (+1, +1). As a result, the multiplier will no longer be shown on unidentified bows.
- Potions of Detect Invisiblity now cheaper and sold at the alchemist.
- Crowns of Wizardry easier to find.
- Ego weapons and ammo of slay plant are now more common. Ego weapons of slay nature made rarer as their old rarity was a bug.
- New monsters: Dark quylthulg, Giant green louse, Nilbog Warrior, Nilbog Lord, Doom sword, Warping Fiend (from Gumband)
- New unique: Chun the Unavoidable.
- Ogre Cheiftains now gain escorts.
- Several creatures changed depths, rarities, and exp values to better match their powers, including a re-organization of most of the late uniques.
- The GIANT, TROLL, and ORC flags have been consolidated into a HUMANOID flag (which has also been given to some 'h' creatures). A new PERSON flag has been added for 'p' monsters and other 'h' monsters.
- Changed the way monster groups are generated. Monsters now usually generate groups only if OOD; as a result, all group monsters raised a few levels. FRIENDS now generates larger groups than before. A FRIEND flag has been added which generates smaller groups. Note that FRIEND is non-cumulative with FRIENDS. Note also that the monster memory description has changed from "it usually appears in a group" to "it usually appears with other similar companions" or "many other similar companions" depending on the flag.
- To complete the previous change, group monsters all raised a few levels; monsters that had both a group and non-group version were turned into a single entry.
- Changed the behavior of the ESCORT and ESCORTS flags; now, if you have ESCORTS, you no longer require ESCORT as well. As a result, the now redundant flag has been removed from all monsters.
- The CHAR_MULTI flag, which had no effect, removed.
- A majr bug with artifact generation was fixed that caused some artifacts (and other items) to behave weirdly, and the DONT_RANDOMIZE flag didn't work.
- Lord Voldemorte was being generated without escorts (because he had just ESCORTS but not ESCORT).
- Detect Enchantment will now properly detect magical lights.
- Graphic support now returned.
- Objects knowledge list replaced by an item "browser" similar to the monster browser.
- You may no longer sell scrolls at the alchemist's.
- Minimum normal artifact index now determined in z_info.txt.
- Disenchantement resistance no longer completely nullifies DRAIN_ITEM, only significantly reduces its chances of striking.
- Player invisibility calculation changed and it is now slightly more effective for low stealth, and somewhat less effective at very high stealths. Also, monsters that can't see you less likely to summon creatures.
- Angels now get 50% EXP for non-evil creatures instead of just 33%
- Added new race - the Nilbog, which has great stats, and natural mana resistance, but suffers from innate spell disruption and item draining. Basically, you'll only want to play a warrior with this.
- Added new treasure nests that contain only creeping coins. As a result, jelly nests are now rarer.
- The ranger spell "Enchant Arrows & Bolts" renamed "Sharpen Arrows & Bolts" to match its actual effect (turns ammo into ammo of wounding).
- Disease stat lowering will now disturb you if you are set to disturb when stat changes.
- You can now give characters ego items as starting equipment by modifying c_info.txt (due to player request).
- Monster experience no longer calculated by multiplying their EXP value by their level - now the full value appears in their EXP level in r_info. r_info.txt changed appropriately.
- Weapon damage plusses now related to weapon weight. Light weapons get lower pluses to damage than heavier ones. This also affects the max enchantement bonuses. Ego items can now always be enchanted beyond normal items of the same kind. Note that to-hit plus range has not been affected.
- Added a new DISRUPT flag, which significantly raises spell failure rates.
- potions of life, *healing*, and healing and rods and staves of curing now cure disease. Pints of nectar shorten disease duration.
- The IMPACT flag is now limited to weapons.
- Added a new DONT_RANDOMIZE flag - artifacts with this flag will not be randomized if random artifacts are turned on.
- Items with no distribution (A:) line in k_info will no longer appear in spoilers, squelch menus, or the object knowledge browser. To avoid problems, all food items may now appear in the dungeon, though the hard biscuits, beef jerky, pints of ale and pints of wine are exceedingly rare.
- The INSTA_ART flag, having been made obsolete by the previous change, has been removed.
- Amulets and Shields of unmagic now disrupt spellcasting.
- The artifact club 'Skullbasher' no longer provides a mana bonus. Instead, it disrupts spellcasting (this was a bug - it was always supposed to be bad for spellcasters).
- Amulets of invisibility made more expensive and deeper.
- Cloaks of Kings made considerably rarer.
- The Jeweled Crown of the Fallen Star made rarer.
- Rarities on several items tweaked - Musical instruments and some wands made slightly rarer and/or deeper, while magical lanterns made shallower and more common.
- The PDSM 'Tortureskin' gained a new ability.
- Grip and Fang made slightly rarer.
- All wraiths (but not wights) and several uniques and other monsters gain SEE_INVIS.
- The group Gnome Mage has been replaced by the Gnome Mystic (still a group monster), with a slightly different spell list.
- The time fly is now light blue to match other time creatures, they are also more likely to cast spells/breath and are also worth less EXP as their previous value was too high.
- Cockatrices now move at normal speed, since encountering one was often an instra-death.
- The Great Sentient Treasure made more powerful and now worth considerably more EXP.
- Blask-end Squerts now have more HP.
- Earth, air, water and fire spirits/elementals are no longer evil (the other elementals are as are the elemental uniques).
- Carcharoth, the Jaws incorporated into Cerberus, who now lurks on level 92; a new unique has been added for level 94 - The Behemoth.
- Giant fireflies now have the HAS_LITE flag.
- Corrected a potential out-of-bounds error with items that had too many distribution entires in k_info.
- Item and artifact spoilers now list mana resistance on the correct items.
- Disease attacks will now properly be marked in the monster memory.
- The Necronomicon will now be properly generated.
- Fixed bug with redefining number keys (bug & fix inherited from Vanilla)
- Colours for canines now correct.
- Oils of burning properly removed when used.
- The base AC of artifact shadow cloaks has been fixed; The cloak of Orodreth now properly an elven cloak.
- Changed savefile format, to produce smaller savefiles. EyAngband 0.2.0 will NOT read 0.1.4 or older savefiles.
- New class: The bard. The bard is a mediocre fighter, but he gets a whole new kind of magic. Instead of learning and casting spells from spellbooks, the bard uses musical instruments. The bard has to wield a musical instrument in order to cast spells from it (the bard gets a special MUSIC slot that is unavilable to other classes). Each music instrument has a plus ranging from +1 to +5. This plus is added to the bard's charisma, and in addition, it determines which spells the instrument offers. The bard does not have to learn spells - he can cast any spell that's available to his level and the level of his instrument. The bard's mana and fail rate are determined by his charisma. Musical instruments can be bought and sold at the general store, which only offers a limited selection of +1 instruments - better instruments must be found in the dungeon (or black market). Finally, the bards get a special "lore" ability, which makes identify act as *identify* on artifacts for them (they have a command of history and legend and know all about the artifact from its name).
- Switched to using (a modified version of) the randart code from angband-a291. Names.txt is now a seperate file found in "libs\files".
- Added a disease status, which causes slow atrophy of the player's stats and slows regeneration, and might cause temporary blindness or confusion.
- Character display changed - there is now a display of current "effects" (poisoned, blessed, etc.), the item properties page has been expanded for all the new flags, and a display has been added for current weapon flags. Also, in the item flag display, a "*" column has been added which displays temporary effects ('+' for normal effect, '*' for immunity, and 'x' if it can combine with a permanent resist for a double resistance).
- When looking/targetting monsters, you now get more useful descriptions of their current condition ("wounded, afraid" instead of just "wounded", for instance).
- Monster behaviour when character is invisible changed - it will not prevent all spellcasting if the character is unseen, just spells that affect the player. So turning invisible won't stop a monster healing itself.
- Monster conditions changed:
- Uniques are no longer necessarily immune to confusion, sleep, fear, or stunning, though they have a better chance of resisting.
- "Stunned" monsters have a chance of moving/attack/or casting a spell. However, their spell failure rate is increased.
- Monsters can be "blinded", in which case they will act as if the player is invisible, and will be limited to innate attacks and breath attacks.
- Monsters can be "bleeding", in which case they will lose some hp every turn (the amount lost depends on their max HP).
- Monsters can be "poisoned", in which case they will lose some hp every turn (the amount lose is independant of their max HP).
- Monster can be "clamed". A passive monster will not attack and will only cast spells that heal itself or let it escape. The rate of recovery from passivity depends on the players charisma - the higher the charisma the slower the monster will recover. If the monster is hurt it will automatically recover, and also if it is aggravated.
- Ctrl-Q now gives you a description of your current quest.
- Reorganized the options:
- Changed the catagories for many options.
- Birth/Difficulty options now a submenu.
- During character creation, you can only access the birth/difficulty options.
- Removed unused/redundant options: "show_choices", "show_details", "disturb_other", "alert_hitpoint", "verify_special", "dungeon_stair".
- Added "verify_leaving_quest" option.
- Added "carry_heavy_query" option, which prompts you before picking up something that would slow you down.
- Added a birth option ("birth_random_hp") that when turned off creates characters with non-random hitpoints (from Oangband 0.5.0)
- All AI options now birth options; "smart_monsters" and "smart_learn" no longer optional, while both "flow by" options are now on by default.
- The option "easy_open" has been renamed "easy_direction"
- The default values for several options have changed.
- You can now access help from the option menus (but not from the actual option screens).
- Re-arranged the resistances:
- Resist fear renamed "bravery" (RES_FEAR flag became BRAVERY).
- Resist blindness renamed "no blindness" (RES_BLIND flag becmae NO_BLIND).
- Added resist water (RES_WATER). Reduces water damage and makes you immune to it's stunning/confusing effects.
- Added resist disease (RES_DISEASE). Reduces disease damage and makes you immune to getting the diseased status.
- Added resist time (RES_TIME). Reduces time damage and makes you immune to it's draining effects.
- Added resist mana (RES_MANA). Reduces mana damage.
- Spells modified:
- Mages get a news spell (in [Sorcery and Evocations]) - "Blind Monster" which attempt to blind a single monster.
- Rangers get a new spell (in [The Lore of the Hunter]) - "Calm animals" which calmes all animals in LOS.
- Priests 2 new spells: - in [Purifications and Healing] - "Holy Peace" which calmes all non-evil creatures in LOS.
- in [Chants and Blessings] - "Cure Disease" which rid the caster of all disease.
- Priest spell "Turn undead" moved from [Chants and Blessings] to [Exorcism and Dispellings] but otherwise not changed.
- Priest spell "Teleport self" is now identical to mage spell of same name.
- [The Necronomicon] gains a new spell - "Unlight Area".
- Experience drain attacks changed - now instead of causing xd6 + 2% of total exp damage, they just cause a variable percentage drain, which makes them more dangerous against high level characters and less against low-level characters.
- When creating a character, you can now press "!" in class selection to get a random class including illegal combinations ("*" allows only legal combinations).
- Cleaned up and re-arranged the code; many things are now in different place than they used to be.
- Tweaked quantities of quest monsters somewhat. In addition, you will no longer recieve quests for breeding monsters, nor for monsters that can't move.
- Fixed the hitdice for angels and demons (this was a bug) - demons now have 10-sided dice (same as humans), angels 9-sided.
- Added new shopkeepers. Also, the minimum purse for the weapon and armour shops raised to 10000, and the minimum purses for all the general shop shopkeepers raised (to allow for the new magic lanterns and music instruments).
- When tweaking an item in debug mode, you can now change timeout.
- Added some variation in the player histories for half-orcs, angels and demons.
- EyAngband no longer requires the existance of the unused "lib\info", "lib\pref" and "lib\bone" directories in order to run.

- MANA - the item adds pval*10 to maximum spell points.
- HEALTH - the item adds pval*10 to maximum hit points.

- SLAY_PLANT - the weapon causes extra damage to plants.

- Light sources have been reworked:
- Refuelable lights now use timeout for their time rather than pval.
- Light source TVALs have been split between refuelable lights and non-refuelable lights (artifacts).
- Magical lanterns are now flavoured, and need to be identified.
- Magical lanterns only give their special powers when their fueled.

- Several powders' powers and/or costs changed.
- Powders and food types now can appear in stacks.
- Scroll of *resistance* effects changed.
- Ego items of Elvenkind, Robes of Permanence, and Elven Cloaks can no longer be disenchanted (note that they don't grant disenchantment resistance).
- Ammo of wounding now cause cuts (and thus are a lot more powerful). Shots can no longer get this ego-type.
- Armor and shields of Resistance now offer a random mid-resist.
- Several existing artifacts' powers changed slightly, the base items for several altered, and rarities/depths of several artifacts changed as well.
- Scythes of slicing now cause cuts (and are more expensive).
- Mushrooms of Unhealth and Disease now cause disease rather than outright damage. They no longer do damage when thrown and are no longer sellable.
- Changed prices for several items (mainly rods and powders).
- Amulet TVAL has been changed from 40 to 41 to make room for the new light source TVAL.
- SVALs for many items changed.
- Many existing monsters altered:
- Many monster gained some of the new flags, whereever appropriate.
- Gremlins now worth even less EXP, and are now green to avoid confusion with manes.
- Mummies attacks now cause disease, mummies made deeper.
- Cockroaches now cause disease, cockroaches made deeper.
- Existing "mystics" renamed to monks.
- Monsters with two versions have their "group" version renamed to avoid double entries in the monster memory: Hell Hound -> Hell Wolf, Mumak -> Pack Mumak, Novice XXXs -> Young XXXs.

- The FRIEND, HURT_FIRE, BO_POIS and HURT_COLD flags were removed, since they didn't do anything.
- The S_ANT spell removed, and replaced by S_ANIMALS.
- Added new attack effect - DISEASE, which causes disease unless the player is resisant.
- Standardized the breathes and resistances. There is now a separate "RES_XXX" flag for each resistance; however, breathing something automatically includes the resistance. (including the basic elements and poison). This means that a monster can be resistant to something without having to be able to breathe it. Also, incorporated RES_CONFUSION and NO_CONFUSION into one resist, and the IM_XXXX flags have been renamed RES_XXXX since they didn't really grant immunity (note though that in general not all RES_XXXX flags give the same degree of resistance). The monster's name no longer has any effect on the resistances.

- You can no longer cast spells when confused/blinded or in the dark, unless you are a mystic and have a mystic spellbook.
- The monster memory now correctly display EXP values for demon characters.
- Fixed a bug with starting equipment (you could never get the maximum amount of any equipment item unless it was equal to the minimum amount).

- Creating spoiler files now properly identifies the game as EyAngband and gives the correct version number.
- In the adventurer's guild, you could accept choices not on the list, which can cause weird stuff to happen.
