66: -
67: Re-rendered the fonts again to fix blur and boldness issues

70: "abomination" in their name

102:
103:
104: 1.9.1
105: =====
106:
107: This patch release contains quite a number of bug fixes and improvements, most
108: noticably a re-rendering of the font files.
109:
110: Since we fixed the wand of plenty, replays made in 1.9.1 will not play on 1.9.
111: However, 1.9.1 will play recordings and load saves from 1.9, preserving the old
112: behaviour. (We intend to maintain this backwards-compatibility within each 1.X
113: series.)
114:
115: This means that 1.9.1 and 1.9 are not completely interchangable, and you should
116: upgrade if you wish to compare games with players on this newer version.
117:
118: Thanks to contributors Antony, flend, SanatMishra, and zenzombie.
119:
120: Bug fixes
121: ---------
122: -
123: Fixed wand of plenty behaviour. Since CE 1.8, it incorrectly set the cloned
124: monsters' max health to half the target's _current_ health, instead of half
125: its max health. Now the max health is halved properly and the current health
126: is unchanged, but capped to the new max.
127: -
128: Fixed the loading bars not showing on screen when loading a save or advancing
129: a recording
130: -
131: Fixed some input events being ignored during recording playback (and possibly
132: in-game too)
133: -
134: Prevented Alt+Enter fullscreen shortcut from causing an Enter input in-game
135: -
136: The graphical tiles toggle 'G' now works during recording playback
137: -
138: The '6' key now works like the other number keys in playback, instead of
139: moving forward a turn
140: -
141: Fixed even more causes of out-of-sync errors
142: -
143: Fixed a rare crash caused by extremely long monster death messages
144: -
145: Fixed some rare crashes during machine generation
146:
147: Other changes
148: -------------
149: -
150: Regenerated font files to improve legibility and contrast. This should
151: hopefully be more of a return to form for Mac players, and a new improvement
152: for Windows and Linux.
153:
154: If you want to change back to the old fonts, replace files font-4.png to
155: font-15.png in `bin/assets` (or `Resources/assets` in the app contents on
156: macOS) with copies from 1.9 or an earlier version.
157: -
158: The seed catalog now contains more information, including items carried by
159: monsters, legendary allies, resurrection altars, and commutation altars. Also,
160: gold is aggregated per level, shackled vs. caged status is displayed for
161: captive allies, and keys show which vault they will open.
162: -
163: Improved perfomance and decreased CPU usage
164: -
165: You can now quit the program while loading a save, and cancel with the escape
166: key
167: -
168: You can now enter a turn number to continue looking back through a recording
169: when you reach an out-of-sync error
170: -
171: (For developers) You can now take control of recordings in debug mode by
172: pressing 'P'
173: -
174: Seed catalog generation now takes seed and depth range parameters at the
175: command line (see `brogue --help` for details)
176: -
177: Add a command line option to generate the seed catalog in CSV format
178:
179:
180: 1.9
181: ===
182:
183: A new gameplay version! Not compatible with replays and saves from v1.8.x.
184:
185: In this release, we tweaked or retried some of the changes made in v1.8 around
186: allies and searching. We believe they are closer in spirit to the original game
187: and represent a better compromise. There are also some new balance changes, and
188: a lot of bug fixes.
189:
190: Thanks to everyone who has contributed code, bug reports, or feedback since
191: v1.8. Enjoy!
192:
193: Gameplay changes
194: ----------------
195: -
196: The wand of empowerment is no longer guaranteed in vaults; a random wand is
197: spawned instead
198: -
199: Revamped the searching system. Instead of performing a strong search only
200: after five consecutive turns of pressing 's', you now perform a weaker,
201: single-turn search every time you press 's', with a stronger one on the fifth.
202: (Control+s will perform five searches, stopping if interrupted, just like old
203: 'S'.)
204: -
205: Walking into secret doors and levers no longer reveals them
206: -
207: Buffed staff of protection duration. At /N max charges, the duration is now 13
208: x 1.4^(N-2) instead of 5 x 1.53^(N-2)
209: -
210: Nerfed charm of teleportation recharge time. At +1 it starts at the same
211: value, but becomes 1 turn at +13 instead of +11
212: -
213: Dar priestesses are now included in the 'Mage' monster class. A weapon of mage
214: slaying will instantly kill them, and armor of mage immunity will provide
215: invulnerability to their feeble attacks.
216:
217: Bug fixes
218: ---------
219: -
220: Liches/phoenixes polymorphed into other creatures no longer spawn
221: phylacteries/eggs on death
222: -
223: Fixed allies not having a lighter colour tint (this was broken by the addition
224: of tiles in 1.8.3)
225: -
226: Fixed a bug where discordant allies did not attack the player diagonally
227: -
228: Fixed a dungeon generation issue which caused the key pedestal in

230: -
231: Fix Ctrl+x (fast explore), Ctrl+A (fast autopilot), and Ctrl+{vi keys}
232: movement not working
233: -
234: Fixed an issue where fast-attacking monsters could attack the player before
235: falling down a chasm or hole
236: -
237: Fixed more causes of out-of-sync errors. (We think these are now very rare, so
238: please let us know if you get one)
239: -
240: Fixed the tile graphics for lumenstones and turrets being swapped
241: -
242: Fixed monsters being shown as letters when hallucinating with graphics enabled
243:
244: Other changes

246: -
247: Numpad 5 (center button) no longer confirms when selecting a target
248: -

250: the `-W`/`--wizard` command-line option to play with teleportation,
251: immortality and overpowered items
252:
253:
254: 1.8.3
255: =====
256:

262:
263: Bug fixes

267: score to appear
268:
269: Other changes
270: -------------
271: -
272: Oryx's graphical tiles are now fully integrated. They can be enabled by
273: pressing 'G' or by using the in-game menu. Compared to v1.8.1 tiles
274: pre-release, this fixes some incorrect tiles being used for various game
275: elements. (Note: unlike original Brogue Tiles, tiles are available at all
276: window/font sizes, but due to scaling they only look crisp at a certain size.)
277: -
278: Improved the game's appearance on high-PPI/DPI displays. Also added some
279: larger font sizes for better viewing on higher resolution displays in general
280: -
281: The full identified inventory is now shown on the post-victory screen
282: -

363: ===
364:
365: This is the first release of *Brogue: Community Edition*! This update focuses on
366: addressing the most common community complaints with 1.7.5 -- most notably,

436: -
