From the Zothiqband changelog

0.6.7

• Nerfed clubs.

• The goat quest finally works, thanks to BucketMan.

• Fixed searching.
• Removed the secret door workaround now that searching works.
• Fixed the monster spell messages, and copied misc. monster spell improvements from ToME.
• Fiddled with object themes. Mykrasian foothills should now have less food, more scrolls and potions, and no sceptres.

0.6.6

• Replaced the Valar with more thematic (though still unfinished) gods.
• Renamed all the magic tomes and some spells.
• I appear to have done something to fix the magic shop bug. (Probably.)
• Heavily nerfed the starting stat points. Hopefully it now takes more than a minute to reach level 15. I'd really like a proper roller...
• Townspeople should no longer appear in the dungeon.
• Auto-id! Combat, weaponmastery, and magic skills help you identify various things.
• Fixed eating corpses for alpha17.

• Fixed the secret door workaround for alpha17.

0.6.5

• Made to work with alpha17.
• Included possession, symbiosis, and summoning from ToME - the scripts, at least.
• Made rotting corpses ickier.
• Beginnings of a house quest in Cith. (Neither completable nor balanced.)

0.6.4

• Fixed the drowning fix.
• Fixed the potion of experience.

0.6.3

0.6.0

• The Maze of Maal Dweb has more interesting walls.
• Made Maal Dweb's palace less annoying.
• Tweaked traps to the player's favor.
• The wilderness has caravan routes to make it more navigable.
• Lophai, Votalp, Ghoul Caves, and Jungle are accessible.
• Basic randart system (inoperative due to the engine).
• Food consumption reduced to 10%, making it finally sensible.

0.5.7

• Some new monsters.
• Nerfed all monster breaths.
• Some more armors.

0.5.4

• Fixed the parchments.
• Customized the Adventurer's Guide to apply to Zothique.
• Fixed the inn distribution.
• Basic apples, with no eating effects (other than hunger reduction).

0.5.3

• The temple is interested in knives (especially arthames) and buys hafted weapons only if they are blessed.
• Field terrain. The southern gate of Miraab should now always be accessible.
• Go away, stupid antiorthogonal inventory "easy mode". (I wish I knew how to implement the reverse of it.)
• Some monsters can now kiss to attack.

0.5.2

• Compatible with the T-Engine alpha11.
• Thematic inns.
• Drugs. Currently they have no side effects, so they are basically just very expensive food.
• Fixed the pet shop selling scrolls of light bug.
• Moved the monster drop code to a temporary file until alpha12 comes out and I can use the subsystem without losing my dungeon litter reductions.

0.5.0

• Monster drops reduced to 20% and drop quality increased fivefold in order to reduce dungeon litter
• Started modifying base objects: food, lights, weapons...
• All weapons now do dice damage and of one damage type only.
• Removed axes as their own class, as well as axemasters.
• Compatible with alpha8
• I decided that I wanted a changelog here

0.4.7

• Thanks to Mitharheru on the forums, Zothiqband should now be playable on non-case sensitive systems like Windows and Mac too! Really!

Pre-alpha changes

From the time before version numbers, in no particular order...

• New town maps: Cith, Miraab, Faraad, Zul-Bha-Sair, and Ummaos, all with a different flavor. The world map is pretty much done.
• Changed the insanity messages to be a little more in-theme (no more Batman)

• Redid and un-D&D-ized the junkarts

• Customized a new and shiny 13-month calendar
• Replaced mushroom flavors with a list of 40 mostly-new extra-icky ones and added flavors for apples (apples remain to be implemented)
• Made seven new atmospheric parchments. They don't appear in-game, however.
• Renamed/redescribed a big bunch old monsters, including the Cth and Z ones. Finally the whole set is thematic, only a couple of monsters are a little too bland.
• With the 3.0.0 alpha I can actually start doing some practical testing now. Current situation: sort of functional.
• Wrote a makefile to further automatize my monster conversion efforts. It was well past the time.
• Some new dungeons
• A new set of races, subraces, and horoscopes (new ones like Camel and Squid). Currently largely functional except for the bugs and the unimplemented things.
• Thematized the automatic generation of character names. The syllables are now from Zothique.

• Made a few new terrains, like FEAT_BLOOD

• Made a couple of new colors for the new terrains. That really improves the atmosphere.
• New dungeon entrance maps: Chaon Gacca, the Gardens of Thasaidon, Yethlyreom, the Gates of Hell, R'lyeh, Uccastrog, and four maps with dimensional rifts in them. That's not the whole set yet.
• Made some not-completely-final dialogue scaffolding for quest assignments and completions. Quests can appear in the ctrl-Q list but remain to be implemented.
• Temporarily removed mimics to prevent a savefile-destroying bug from occurring. As far as I can determine, the bug comes from somewhere in the C code and is not for me to fix. I hope I can restore the mimics eventually.
• Thematized the rumors.
• Cut all monster drops to 20%, except for uniques and monsters that drop only gold. Increased the chances for ego-items and artifacts to match. That should help the dungeon litter situation.
• Wrote the nether damagetype (currently without side effects) and added the deleted-from-CVS rockets and radiation.
• Switched display.lua to an older version, as I've decided have the game effect of the differences in the melee damage types be small or nonexistent.
