[langband-devel] Langband v0.1.3 released

[Stig E S. <st...@la...>]

hi,

Langband has taken yet another step further:

            Langband v0.1.3 is now released.

Langband is the lispier Angband alternative, and is known to work on
Common Lisp systems on Linux and Unix.  It is a development release
showing the roguelike community that langband is improving and will 
soon be a fully playable game.

This is a new development release with mostly non-visible changes.  
It's mostly released to get the major backend fixes out and to be able
to focus on gameplay issues for awhile. Major fixes include:        
                                                                                
- Changed old zterm-backend to a lisp-based system that's more flexible
  and powerful.  GCU is disabled in v0.1.3, but SDL should work fine.
- Tweaked targeting, running, and input-event code.
- Fixed the game-loop to use a simple priority-queue to make turns more   
  just.
- Improved visual-effects for missiles and spells
- Spellcode updates in vanilla variant
- And several other changes, see Changelog.
                                                        
The v0.1.3 should also work with not too much effort on Windows if              
you have installed Cygwin and the gratis Lispworks Personal                     
(www.lispworks.com).
