ADOM 1.2.0p11 released!

I'm happy to announce the release of ADOM 1.2.0p11. At the same time I have to say sorry for the reduced amount of community interaction within the past couple of weeks. A series of family crises involving serious heart problems, strokes, sicknesses combined with various other minor annoyances really so far has made my start into 2013 pretty bumpy. Things slowly sort out and hopefully will take a good end but the past couple of weeks have been one long stretch of troubles and worries.
Luckily Jochen continued to move ahead and used my reduced activity to refactor one of the most ancient parts of the ADOM source code (and consequently one of the most confused, convoluted, contradicting and complicated parts) - the code covering line of sight, visibility, darkness and knowledge of places visited. He rewrote most parts and streamlined things enormously - which was an important requirement to get NotEye working a lot more consistently and hopefully also will weed out a multitude of ancient bugs.

I'm slowly taking up pace again and things from now on hopefully will proceed at a more decent speed once more.

Before downloading ADOM 1.2.0p11 please remember that this is a release with the limited access prerelease series - if you want to get in into the fun you still can join the program.

Otherwise please read the change log, log in to the self service portal and proceed to the download and particularly make sure that you read the details about the following two issues:

1. Issue 1159 covers the details regarding renamed configuration files. If your configurations behave strangely here you might find the explanation. Although we expect everything to work just fine.
2. Issue 1941 covers the refactoring of the whole internal code structures regarding visibility, tile knowledge, light and darkness. All our tests seem to indicate that the new code works just fine but as the old code was so deeply engrained into ADOM and there seemed to exist tons of special cases (now mostly gone) we cannot be 100% sure. So be particularly attentive to strange behavior regarding map drawing, examined map tiles, look mode, etc.

Finally here's the detailed list of changes:

• Feature 1159 - Rename .adom.data
