Version and history commands. Plus a quarter-assed description of the
versinfo option. ('mO' can update and possibly provide enough into to
make sense of it.)
\#history was already revised but the new description was inaccurate.
Guidebook.tex is untested.
Prevent the main vision_recalc loop from triggering an impossible for
bad coordinates from newsym(). This hack may mean that the underlying
problem will remain unsolved but at least newsym won't cause the fuzzer
to panic or frighten players with impossible warnings.
In earlier versions of NetHack, wands of digging generated fairly
often, allowing players to do a large amount of digging through the
maze walls in Gehennom and giving them a chance of an early escape
item.
In the current version, the need for both of these things has been
reduced: supply chests give a supply of early escape items
(including wands of digging), and Gehennom is no longer mostly made
of mazes with diggable walls. As such, there is no longer a reason
to generate wands of digging in such large numbers, even though it
was correct in the past.
This commit modifies some of the generation probabilities for wands
of digging in order to make them less abundant, in order to work
better with the code changes since the previous version.
Requested by Tomsod: change the break point for +2 damage bonus from
strength to be 18/50 instead of 18/51 so that gnome and orc heros can
achieve that 'naturally' by maxxing out Str.
Closes#1506
On macOS, the required underlying pieces are in there.
On Linux, we try to test for the presence of libuuid and
the uuid.h header files. If the tests are both successful,
we proceed to include NHUUID support.
On either macOS or Linux, NO_NHUUID=1 on the Make command
line will forcibly prevent the inclusion of the support for NHUUID.
Dungeoneers list updates
Ingo Paschke provided Amiga updates to get the port working
for the release to follow 3.6.7. He used the gcc-15.2 branch
of bebbo's Amiga toolchain on Linux.
G. Branden Robinson contributed several updates and suggestions to
help ensure that the *roff documentation production remains viable.
