[Z] Version number

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.angband (More info?)

Just downloaded the Windows binary of ZAngband 2.7.4c, to see what all
the kids are talking about.

In order to make extra sure I'm as up-to-date as possible I press 'V'
to check the version number. A message appears: "You are playing
ZAngband 2.7.4b." Slightly odd, that little b.

This is not important at all, of course, but for some reason it bugs
me...

Well, you might want to try http://sourceforge.net/projects/zangband
and get version 2.7.5pre. Most of the bugs in 274c were solved and I
introduced some new ones. At least when you press V you'll get the
right answer.

Thank you for a serious answer to a tongue-in-cheek posting. It hadn't
occurred to me to look for a newer version on SF (only looked on
zangband.org and thangorodrim.net). I'll let you know if I get annoyed
by something entirely unimportant again.

Best,

Edo

I play 2.7.5pre1, and, although I'm more of a Hengband person, and I've
only got as far as a few levels down in Darkwater, it seems to work
fine and the idea of a 'preview' shouldn't put anyone off too much.
