  Bad news for all KAngband fans. Mark Howson, the maintainer of KAngband and a close friend of mine, is leaving the Roguelike community.

• ZAngband 2.5.0 development version released
  It has been a while since the last release, but now the new development version of ZAngband is available. The source code, Windows, and DOS versions are waiting with many new features, changes, and bugfixes including a completely new wilderness as well as huge changes to rebalance monsters, objects, and various other things.

• CthAngband update
  Dean Anderson released a new version of his variant CthAngband. The new version includes five new dungeons, many changes to the skill system, and bugfixes.
• New MAngband version
  Version 0.6.1 of the multiplayer Angband variant, MAngband, is now available as source code, and as binary Linux and Windows clients. You can find more infos on the re-designed MAngband homepage.
• Python-KAngband alpha
  An alpha version of Mark Howson's KAngband with Python scripting is available from http://kangband.seul.org. Ken is still looking for people interested in coding Python scripts for KAngband. Python is very easy to learn and is the ideal language for beginners in my opinion.
