* New upstream release
   - Wands and staves are no longer destroyed when a recharge attempt
     backfires. Instead all the charges are drained.
   - Renamed the artifact short sword 'Gilettar' to 'Dagmor' since that
     name is mentioned for the sword of Beren in Tolkien's notes.
     (suggested by Tyler Witter)
   - Added a new type of subwindow for displaying the dungeon area around
     the player.
   - Added a new subwindow type "Display player (compact)" that displays
     the left-hand-side of the main term (player stats, hitpoints, gold,
     ...) in a separate window.
   - Added a new window type that displays the info from the status line.
   - Turned the "scroll map while targetting" option permanently on.
   - Added a display of the temporary resists to the status line. The
     resists are only displayed if there is enough room after the dungeon
     level (when using a main or status term with at least 85 cols).
     The verbosity of the output (between "Acid Elec Fire Cold Pois" and
     "AEFCP") depends on the term width.
   - Display the player's speed in the character dump and on the info page.
   - Identified scrolls can now look different from unidentified ones.
     This allows the use of the individual scroll tiles created by David
     Gervais.
   - Allow the ammo-branding activation of 'Cubragol' to be aborted without
     using up the charge. (Diego Gonzalez and Jeff Greene)
   - Use actual monster and object symbols instead of a list of hardcoded
     symbols when hallucinating.
   - Added Craig Oliver's Sound FX Patch version 1.1 that adds about 120
     new sound events to the game.
     (see also http://www.chambrook.org/angband/soundfx.php)
   - Scroll the map when the player is 1/4th of the visible grids away from
     the edge of the map display.
   - Allow the OS X version to be started from a read-only medium, for
     example from a disk image or a central installation under
     'Applications'. All user-specific files like savefiles, scores,
     char-dumps, and saved preferences are stored in
     'Library/Preferences/Angband/' and its subfolders inside the user's
     home directory.
   - The Mac OS X application bundle now includes all the necessary files
     from the lib folder. The separate lib folder in the distribution is
     no longer necessary. This means that the OS X version can now be
     installed by simply dragging the application icon to the target
     directory.
   - The OS X version would crash when changing the sound or graphics
     options before a character was created or loaded. (reported by Patrick
     Hughes)
   - Don't save the Mac OS X preferences on exit if the game hasn't been
     initialized properly to prevent corruption of the preference file in
     case of an error at startup. Skip loading the preference file if it
     is broken. (problem reported by Matt Stone)
   - Include the basic Angband sound files per default in the OS X version.
   - Made the tile size independent of the font size in the X11 version.
     Store various window settings like the window size between sessions.
   - Don't add a hardcoded 'games' subdirectory to the installation path on
     multi-user machines.
   - Allow all user created files to be saved in subdirectories under
     ~/.angband/Angband/ when PRIVATE_USER_PATH is defined.
   - Allow the use of the 'vcs' display module on systems with devfs-style
     '/dev/vc/*' terminals.
   - The virtual console (vcs) front-end does now implement cursor
     visibility and bigscreen support. (Alexander Ulyanov)
   - Enable cursor visibility in the "gcu" front-end on Linux systems.
     (Alexander Ulyanov)
   - Fixed a bug in the Xaw frontend, which made Angband crash if the main
     window geometry was specified as an X resource. (Alexander Ulyanov)
   - Make X11 frontends show floors as centered dots, walls as blocks, and
     treasures as diamonds. (Alexander Ulyanov)
   - Removed the restriction of bigtile mode to the main window in the X11
     version.
   - Added Alexander Ulyanov's Linux framebuffer display module from:
     http://posband.earthsea.org/misc/angband-lfb-20050220.tar.gz
   - Added compile instructions for MinGW/MSYS on Windows. (Tuomas
     Härkönen)
   - Added compile instructions for gcc on Mac OS X.
   - Fixed a stupid bug that could cause the game to hang or crash when
     killing quest monsters near the edge of the dungeon. (Ivan Tuckwell
     and Dr. Andrew White)
   - Added missing tiles and tile assignments for the 32x32 tiles. (Ivan
     Jekic and David Gervais)
   - The charges of rods of perception weren't handled correctly when
     compiling with scripting turned off. (reported by "Twilight" and Jeff
     Greene)
   - Cursed speed rings should not increase the level feeling. (Anssi
     Ramela and Jeff Greene)
   - Refresh the list of visible monsters after (Mass) Banishment,
     Earthquake, and Destruction spells, when using the 'delete nearby
     monsters' function in debug mode, as well as when pressing Ctrl-R.
     ("Twilight")
   - Don't try to write zero-length blocks when saving the lib/data/*.raw
     files. (suggested by Juha Niemimaki)
   - Corrected the item description for scrolls of recharging. (reported by
     Hugo Kornelis)
   - Fixed a Angband 3.0.6 alpha 1 specific crash with the Mac OS X 10.4
     (Tiger) caused by releasing a reference that should not be released.
     (reported by Harry Erwin)
   - The experience loss as a result of one of the One Ring's activations
     is now 1/4 of both max and current experience instead of the
     unintended reduction of max exp by 3/16 of the current experience.
     (Hugo Kornelis)
   - Cleaned up the handling of experience draining when the player has
     Hold Life. The fixed part of the exp drain by nether breaths is now
     also reduced by Hold Life. (Hugo Kornelis)
   - The 'star ball' activation fired one ball more when scripting was
     enabled. (Hugo Kornelis)
   - The object description for the 'cure wounds' activation reads
     "activates for cure wounds (4d7)", but it actually cures 4d8 points of
     damage. The description has been fixed. (Hugo Kornelis)
   - The "recharge item" artifact activation can now be canceled at the
     "Recharge which item" prompt without draining the artifact's charge.
     (Hugo Kornelis)
   - The symbol for the Shield of Deflection was a light blue [ instead of
     a ) like all other shields. (Hugo Kornelis)
   - Reduced the price for "Raal's Tome of Destruction". (Hugo Kornelis and
     Timo Pietila)

* Bug fix: "angband: incomplete copyright file", thanks to Andrew
  Saunders. The copyright file was actually created by Joshua Kwon, who
  apparently has uploaded angband as an NMU, but I have not seen it on
  my mirror yet. In any case, the NMU was appreciated. Thanks for the
  help. (Closes: #248668).
* New upstream release.
  - Summoned creatures appear near the caster now instead of near the
    player.
  - Made rods of detection invulnerable to electric attacks.
  - Restored the old behavior of the Glyph of Warding to protect against
    direct melee attacks when standing on it.
  - Rods can no longer be drained by monsters.
  - The minor vault "Interlock" had switched height and width definitions,
    causing it to be created in a chaotic state. (Werner Baer)
  - Spells that prompt the user for an item (identify, enchantment,
    recharging) or an monster letter (banishment) no longer use mana if
    canceled.
  - The order of mage spells in the books in the non-Lua version is now
    the same as in the Lua version.
  - Give energy to monsters and the player at the end of the game turn
    instead of at the start. This prevents various odd effects when
    loading a saved game. (reported by Phil)
  - The activation descriptions for rings were missing with Lua scripting
    turned off. (Jeff Greene)
  - The SHATTER (earthquake) attack of monsters can cause the player to be
    pushed into another position. Processing of the remaining blows of
    the monster should stop in that case. Otherwise the player could get
    hit "through a wall" that was created by the earthquake. (Jeff Greene)
  - Removed the autoroller delay.
  - Cleaned up the paragraph handling in the object descriptions.
    (Hallvard B Furuseth)
  - "It cannot be harmed by acid and fire" should be "... acid *or* fire".
    (Hallvard B Furuseth)
  - Piles of wands, staves, and rods can be used from the ground without
    picking them up first.
  - Fixed a problem in the Unix/Linux makefiles. The POSIX standard
    doesn't allow a dot instead of a colon as separator for the chown
    parameters.
  - Removed an accidental use of floating point code that prevented
    Angband from running on old machines without an FPU.
  - Removed unnecessary event handlers that negativly affected performance.
  - The "pseudo graphics" used by the (n)curses version didn't support
    terrain lightning correctly.
  - The window resize control was sometimes overwritten with a black tile
    in the OS X version.
  - Removed the warning message about missing preferences from the OS X
    version. The first thing a new player sees after starting Angband
    shouldn't be a "scary" message.
  - Added a Windows helpfile created by Jordan Hobbs.
  - Added project files for building Angband with MS Visual C++ 7.1.
