As promised here comes T-Engine4 and ToME4 beta15 !

See http://tome.te4.org/ http://te4.org/ http://blog.te4.org/

Yes, beta15 comes out very quickly. It is mostly a bug-fix release but 
there is one real improvement that I wanted to share with you all: Saving 
speed has been greatly improved. People that had really terrible saving 
speeds of over two minutes for simple zones are now down to a few seconds.

Release highlights:

    * Greatly improved saving time
    * New game option to disabled background saving, this blocks the game 
while saving but improves save speed

Expanded changelist:

    * Rewrote the data serializer, savefiles should be *much* faster
    * New option to disable background saving
    * Mage apprentice quets will now require only 10 items or an artifact 
staff/ring/amulet
    * Fixed wands of illumination
    * Fixed character description on the load screen
    * Fix the Dragon Helm
    * Update Tol Falas lore
    * Old forest is now a bit brighter
    * Much new Iron Throne lore
    * Higher now have a life rating instead of a lite rating :)
    * The Crypt of Kryl-Feijan will not pop before level 20
    * Elisa will not end her quets multiple times
    * Can not rush while pinned
    * Bumping encounters on the worldmap triggers them
    * Amulets of Mastery can provide bonuses to any trees
    * Divine/Guardian talents have higher requirements
    * Manasurge Rune now provides a small direct mana inscrease an a % 
increase of natural mana regen
    * Two new world artifacts

Have fun!
