Stone Soup switched to git for version control a while back. If you’ve been following the subversion tracker, and wondered why the activity suddenly seems to have stopped – that’s why. :) We haven’t really made noise about the change outside the mailing list and ##crawl IRC channel – thanks to people on the latter for pointing this out!

Darshan wrote a fine quickstart guide to using git on the mailing list; check it out here.

We now have a DOS build of 0.5.2, courtesy of Rugxulo of BTTR Software.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup 0.5.2 is out, with many bugfixes and better Mac OS X support. The source should also now build with ease on FreeBSD.

Disclaimer: These are merely the highlights, not an exhaustive list of changes.

* Fixed tiles crashes with certain resolutions.
* Fixed Mac build sometimes not finding the graphics files.
* Fixed NSLayoutManager crash with OSX.
* OSX executables no longer require installation of fink.
* DCSS now builds on FreeBSD straight out of the box.
* DCSS now uses git for version control.
