[apologies for forgetting to post 2 weeks ago0
Menace of the Mines 0.4 has been released!

Menace of the Mines (or motm) is a GPL-licensed roguelike written in
Common Lisp that runs on Windows and Linux. The major new features in
this release include items and replay mode. The release is available from
the "Downloads" section of out website http://motm.sourceforge.net/
. The website also contains documentation and contact info.

The other features of this release are
 * A high-score list
 * A smarter AI
 * Proper stats (Strength, Dexterity, etc.)
 * Weapons
 * Armor
 * Scrolls
 * A new installation procedure

This is a Pre-Alpha release. It may contain bugs and isn't much of a
game yet. 

Known Issues in this release
 * Replay mode is not described in the official docs, however the
 website rectifies the flaw.
 * Issue #5, in which the directory for saves is determined at
 compile-time (instead of run-time). THis results in the Windows build
 writing to "C:\Documents and
 Settings\Krzysztof\.config\motm\saves\dungeon,.store" (instead of
 having the Krzysztof part replaced by your username). This breaks Vista
 and makes your filesystem look ugly, but is otherwise harmless.
 * Issue #5 also cripples multiuser play on *nix. [Issue fixed in trunk]
