There’s a new bugfix release of the stable version of DCSS. Source packages and binaries for Windows and Linux are available now, and OS X binaries will be uploaded as soon as they’re available. We recommend all 0.17 users upgrade to this version. Here’s a list of changes from the changelog:

Fix insect monsters never berserking. This bug prevented queen bees from berserking their hive bees and moths of wrath berserking insects in Spider.

Prevent the Gell’s Gravitas spell from moving monsters into deep water or lava.

Fix resting to stop properly when MP don’t regenerate.

Properly warn when a beam might poison a monster while worshiping the Shining One.

Put hunter’s swords in slot ‘a’ or ‘b’ at game start to allow easier switching between ranged and melee weapons.

Put Earth Elementalists’ starting stones on the ‘b’ slot.

Update the manual for 0.17.

Many other bug fixes for game crashes, to vaults, and to in-game text.

Keep on squaring those circles!
