New features since v1.2:

	•	Three lines of message text are now visible instead of one.
	•	Monsters can now be examined to reveal their statistics and special
properties.
	•	Strength is no longer gained upon level-up; instead, potions of
gain strength are metered like food and scrolls of enchantment.
	•	Armor and weapon strength requirements have been lowered, but
exceeding them will diminish movement and attack speeds respectively.
	•	Certain terrain (lava, water, etc.) will animate in between player
turns.
	•	Terrain can now have random but persistent coloration.
	•	Four new monsters.
	•	Eels and krakens will now attack land monsters in deep water.

erratically or hunting the player.
	•	Fleeing monsters will now occasionally jump into chasms or venture
into water when chased.
	•	Monsters will now take a full turn to awaken instead of attacking
immediately.

	•	Lava will now destroy all items except the Amulet of Yendor.
	•	Monsters under the effects of a staff of entrancement will now move
in the opposite direction as the player and can be compelled to step
into lava and chasms.
	•	Crystals created by staves of obstruction temporary lakes created
by water traps will now decay from the outside in rather than
uniformly.
	•	Staff and wand bolts now light up terrain as they fly past.
