Full feature-complete Windows and Linux ports thanks to the excellent
Libtcod engine.
True player memory functionality so that the player is not aware of
changes to the dungeon that she cannot see

distance. Pressing return will travel to that point just like
clicking. Pressing return again will resume travel if interrupted.

the game with a single keystroke.
Numerous new terrain features, including thick foliage, water traps,
sparkling crystal formations, beds of flame-swept brimstone, deadly
lichen and scalding steam.
Out of sight fleeing monsters will be unaware of your movements until
they are again in your field of view.
Numerous monsters have been refined.
Flying monsters and monsters with enough health will chase you into
pits and trap doors.
New items: staff of discord, staff of poison, staff of haste, wand of
beckoning, wand of plenty, scroll of darkness, potion of creeping

Several new tile appearances.
Detect magic is now much more powerful: it will attach to items in
your and monsters' inventories and lasts forever on those items.
Food distribution tweaked to be less common on earlier levels which
take less time and more common on later levels which take more time.
Hovering over lava/chasms/water and wading through lava while immune
