There’s a new bugfix release of the stable version of DCSS. Source packages and binaries for Windows and Linux are available now, and OS X binaries will be uploaded as soon as they’re available. We recommend all 0.17 users upgrade to this version. Here’s a list of changes from the changelog:

  • Fix insect monsters never berserking. This bug prevented queen bees from berserking their hive bees and moths of wrath berserking insects in Spider.
  • Prevent the Gell’s Gravitas spell from moving monsters into deep water or lava.
  • Fix resting to stop properly when MP don’t regenerate.
  • Properly warn when a beam might poison a monster while worshiping the Shining One.
  • Put hunter’s swords in slot ‘a’ or ‘b’ at game start to allow easier switching between ranged and melee weapons.
  • Put Earth Elementalists’ starting stones on the ‘b’ slot.
  • Update the manual for 0.17.
  • Many other bug fixes for game crashes, to vaults, and to in-game text.

Keep on squaring those circles!
