Adjustments ----------- * You gain hit points faster -- 1.5 as fast as in release 3 for a 25 constitution, and the lower constitution doesn't drop the speed as fast as it did. * Fixed a bug with hp regeneration rounding. * Artifacts hit as magical weapons 2 plusses better than listed. * Made monsters that need magic weapons to hit strike as those magic weapons. * Lightsabers can hit anything. * Made candles more common and cheaper. * Made getting pets less likely and artifacts more likely from sacrificing. * Made low level bones files (levels 2, 3, etc.) less common. * Made altars a lot more common, because they won't appear on special levels. * Made level draining less likely to work, and magic resistance helps to protect from it (not 100%, though) * Made the nethack directory in nethack.cnf default to '.' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Things that were fixed in release #3: Bugs ---- * Fixed a bug with regeneration. * Won't allow you to put worn items into the quiver. * Fireballs will burn away slime. * The beholder and catoblepas's death gazes do not affect undead creatures.

Not now... * Engraving with a wand of fireballs gave the wrong message -- "this is a wand of fire!" * Included dos4gw.exe in zip file.
