Changes in Zceband 2.1.2

• Multiple message tracking. "You tunnel into the granite wall. <30x>".
• The game-crashing bug has disappeared.
• Players start with a larger basic inventory.
• A 'fiend' race. It's...different. Fiends may not wield weapons or bows, and may not wear lights, cloaks, gloves, or boots. However, it's intended to be a warrior race.
• Angband 2.8.5 line-of-sight algorithm.
• Maps may be much larger than normal.
• Fixed the bug with multiple-projectile weapons.
• Increased the maximum number of random quests to 125. (Note that using this number would produce a quest on every level)
• Added crushing ceilings.
• Added barrels.
• Added the Doom monsters.

Changes to the original ZAngband 2.1.1c

• Zangband 2.2's pet menu has been added.
• Chaos warriors may choose their patron at startup.
• All chaos patrons grant some bonus abilities.
• Two new uniques to replace Qlzqqlzuup and Vecna.
• Three new chaos patrons:
  • Qlzqqlzuup, who mostly summons monsters, and grants a 'summon monster' ability.
  • Vecna, who grants a 'mind blast' ability.
  • Id, who is inspired by too much Doom :) He provides Doom-like weapons at various levels. (Note: most of the multiple-projectile weapons - such as the shotgun - are somewhat peculiar when fired at diagonally adjacent monsters, and tend to miss. This is a 'feature' of Angband's bolt system.)
• Breath attacks are conical.
• Experience gained from a particular monster type decreases as more monsters of that type are killed.
• Weapons and armor may be given altered damage dice/base ac.
