- It is now possible to save a memorial file for a deceased character. The obituary contains a list of vanquished creatures.
- Configuration file allows to preset autopickup and the like.
- Implemented a string input function.
- The caption in the get_count dialog can now be wrapped.
- Created a rpm spec file.
- Created an installer for Windows.
- More weapons and armour types. Raised weapon and armour prices.
- Monsters that can use weapons will use weapons - against you!
- Implemented taking things out of and putting things into containers.
- Added a chance of failure when casting a spell.
- Ability to display spell description in the spell selection dialog.
- Honour spell knowledge level when calculation spell damage/power.
- Added ability to examine any visible position. Enhanced the descriptions of a position.
- Monsters can use stairs or even enter the town to follow the player.
- Monsters can fall through trap doors and appear on the level below.
- Vastly lowered gem values.
- Re-enforce monsters on a map every now and then.
Bugs and features fixed in this version:
- Fixed stealth.
- Fixed a crash in the inventory dialog.
- A leprechaun who picked up a gem could cause a crash in the drawing code (this one took me hours to figure out. You got to love C!)

I've prepared a new release to fix all problems I know of in version 0.5. A list of all changes (http://nlarn.sourceforge.net/articles/8/released-051) shows what has been fixed. The files are available for download on sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/nlarn/files/nlarn/0.5.1/).
If you have installed NLarn 0.5 on Windows using the installer your can simply install the new version over the old one.
