Announcing the 4.0.0 release of UnNetHack.

Source code, Debian package and Windows TTY and GUI executables can be downloaded here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/unnethack/files/unnethack/4.0.0/

The default Windows defaults.nh has been improved with better coloring options.

Finally it’s possible to complete the quest even if you angered your Quest leader. Killing him or her will automatically unlock the stairs leading to the lower Quest levels.

This release has dragons a bit as a special focus.

Although it does not yet contain the overhaul of the randomization of dragons, it contains a complete new 4 level branch full of dragons with the exciting possibility of fighting chromatic dragons (generic dragons having most of the features of the Chromatic Dragon called Tiamat) at the end of the branch, thus also to gain chromatic dragon armor which will grant most resistances when worn.

The AC of dragon armor has been significantly reduced. Dragon scales provide now 1 point and dragon scale mails 5 points of AC.

The newly added wax golems, providing candles as death drop, will hopefully fix the candle shortage that plagued many vanilla games.
