Changes are: Complete copyright notice, Versions using dot format instead of comma format, and nulls at the end of strings (required, at least for Windows 2000).
Build and install the NetHack.ad file, and change the nethack.sh to append
the HACKDIR to the XUSERFILESEARCHPATH. This means users do not have to
do anything special to use the NetHack X11 resources, nor does it require
teaching nethack where the X11 app-defaults directory is. The change also
updates the X11 and linux doc files in a corresponding way.
Support compilation of multiple flavors for the Macintosh:
1. A Carbon port, text only and backwards-compatible with
older versions of the MacOS.
2. A termcap/Unix port for MacOS X only.
3. A Qt port, tiled and MacOS X only.
The flavor can be selected at compile-time by specifying the
appropriate prefix file for the compiler.
Prevent succubi from being fully restored via cycles of petrifying
and reviving. It wasn't just a matter of saving traits; cancellation is
one of the monster traits which is explicitly reset when a monster gets
revived. I think that probably makes sense, but this will override it
for succubi and incubi to prevent abuse; if they were cancelled at time
of petrification they'll remain cancelled when reanimated. Likewise for
nymphs; even though the abuse facter isn't present, the cancel effect is
pretty similar for them so keep revivals similar too.
This saves monster traits for every monster that gets turned into a
statue. Unlike with corpses there's no stacking involved to make players
notice that each has become unique, so all such statues might as well all
reanimate just like they were instead of as new replacment monsters.

Noticed when trying out the "heck patch", where the name of the file
for the sanctum level was changed and I neglected to update my Makefile to
reflect that: nothing was noticed if any files were missing when loading
them into a dlb container. Populating the playground directory for the
non-dlb configuration suffered a similar problem. Now the VMS playground
setup will issue a warning message if this happens (but not abort the
installation; perhaps it ought to do that as well...).
Other ports have the same problem. For example, Unix Makefile.top
relies on file globbing to build the dlb container; if a wildcard pattern
matches no files, dlb won't notice because the shell will have eaten the
offending pattern. Likewise for its non-dlb configuration, where cp won't
notice. However, this isn't a very interesting bug because it won't hit
when the distributed Makefiles correspond with the needed data files.
Make a sleeping or paralyzed shopkeeper wake up if you drop something
he's interested in buying (covers the recently reported case where dropping
gold failed to add credit, but picking it back up increased shop dept) or
if you use the 'p'ay command while owing money. Sleeping shopkeeper is not
affected if you drop something he doesn't care about, or use 'p'ay when
there is no debt, or pick up shop goods (latter case is handled normally--
you'll owe money for the item even though the shk remains asleep).
This makes shopping become a little easier--you aren't stuck waiting
for the shopkeeper to wake up if you actually want to pay for something--
in the rare case where the shopkeeper has been put to sleep, but it's an
awful lot simpler than any other reasonable way I could think of to deal
with the [lack of] credit problem.
This makes the snoring message handling moot--it no longer exists.
(It wasn't very reasonable to begin with, because the program can't tell
whether mon->mfrozen is for timed sleep or timed paralysis so avoided
giving that message for temporary sleep. There ought to be two separate
counters; probing is another case where vague messages are given because
the program can't tell the reason why a monster can't move.)
I think this was From a bug report, but I cannot find the report
anymore. Perhaps I noticed it while doing something else. In any case,
every turn you're engulfed in, say, a dust vortex wearing the Eyes of the
Overworld, you get the "can't see"/"vision clears" message pair. This
patch modifies the behavior to only display this the first turn. Other code,
partially related to B01003, already deals with the puton-remove cases.
Since B01003 is only in the trunk, this fix is also only in the trunk.
Correct the unreachable "snores" message From a bug report.
Applied to trunk only in hopes that beta8 might be the last for 3.4.2.
The fixes entry is generic since I'm sure other similar messages will be fixed.
- set correct checkmark on "Lock Windows" menu item on startup
- redraw message window on resizing (it does not update properly otherwise)
- fixed copy/paste error in read registry settings function
- fix ring of protection from shape changers causing
real monster to be created.
- add ability to get the character class monster from
genus() or the species.
- use the character class monster when animating
guardian corpses.
Also a related bug: the guard against animating a unique
monster via tossing a statue onto a statue trap location, was
causing stone to flesh to silently ignore any statue of a unique
monster which seemed very uncharacteristic of the spell.
After this patch, statues of quest guardians and statues of
unique monsters will animate as shape-shifters posing as those
monsters, not the monsters themselves.
Digging a pit in the location where you're stuck should always free you.
This would not occur if you used a wand of digging to do the digging,
especially if you did so while levitating.

No objections were heard to this previously circulated
change.

Guard against the pathological cases of ", <anything>" and
" called <anything>" strings that a user could type in to indirectly
trigger impossible(). Now they'll yield "no info about such things".
From newsgroup discussion: prevent monsters from level teleporting
to Moloch's Sanctum level unless the invocation ritual has already made it
accessible (same restriction player's character already has). Otherwise a
monster could pick up one of the invocation items and effectively take it
into limbo, making it become impossible for the player to reach that level.
Back in April, <Someone> reported to the list that when you are
polymorphed into a mimic and #monster, and return to human form while still
mimicing, your appearance does not change. This was due to a change
between 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 that caused all mimicing to go thru one case and
the code to change appearance was actually never executed.
Several bug reports have been filed regarding the use of attached iron balls to
move in ways that are otherwise disallowed: moving diagonally from a
doorway, moving through boulders, squeezing through small openings, passing
over traps and diagonally between boulders on sokoban levels. Modified
bhit to deal with this. All these cases now cause the iron ball to stop if
appropriate for your form, level of burden, and so on. Since both boulders
and iron balls are big, boulders now always stop thrown iron balls,
even if not attached. Since iron balls don't cause any damage as they pull
you along, I didn't add any damage for the new "jerks to a halt" cases.
On some MSDOS ports, STATIC_OVL doesn't equate
to static, so taking_off in do_wear.c conflicts with the
one in invent.c in those environments. Somebody
out there might wish to try and build the 16 port and
tune it to work properly someday.

Undo the change to test_move and instead, don't even test moving in diagonals.
This opens the possibility for approximating the diagonal while polymorphed
into a grid bug in the future.
the cmdassist message shows all the valid directions even if you are
polymorphed into a grid bug. I noticed this when I typed a diagonal
direction as a grid bug and got the dialog, telling me the key I just typed
was valid, but it wasn't. Limit the keys to those valid for grid bugs.
Since only developers know that "13" is EACCES, try to include the text
message. I'm not 100% sure the ifdefs are complete, but it can be tweaked
as needed. This was the only common message in files.c that included errno
so it's the only one I changed. Of course, "13" is only one of several
possible errno values that might reasonably show up here.
The following files are gone (sys\wince):
- stat.h (moved to ceinc\sys\stat.h)
- fcntl.h (moved to ceinc\fcntl.h)
- errno.h (moved to ceinc\errno.h)
- assert.h (moved to ceinc\assert.h)
The following files were added:
- mhtxtbuf.c
- mhtxtbuf.h
- menubar.uu
- ceinc
- ceinc\sys
- ceinc\fcntl.h
- ceinc\errno.h
- ceinc\assert.h
- ceinc\sys\stat.h
CE notes:
Fixes:
- added new options "wraptext", "fullscreen" and "softkeyboard"
- CE341-1 fix ("wraptext" option)
- hide map scrollbars on Smartphone
- added View->Options menu
- PocketPC: added "Fit to screen" and "Show/Hide keypad" icons
on the menu bar
- Smartphone: '<', '>' keys were mapped incorrectly
- build: use source files directly from <buildroot>\sys\wince instead of
copying them to <buildroot>\wince\
