Neo Angband: Linoleum v0.9.0
0.9.0 - 2026-07-30
Fixed
- The README taught a pack layout the engine cannot read, showing
tiles/monster/orc.pngand an unconditionalmaps/pools.txtwhere the real format isimages/<resolution>/<asset>.pngwith a pools file only when a pack authors pools. Anyone following it built a pack that resolved to nothing. - The install command named a package that has never been published, a subcommand that does not exist and a positional path the tool does not read. Corrected to the real invocation.
- The converter handles the six tilesets Angband ships, driven by their pref files, and not “any legacy tileset”, which was an over-claim in the README and in the manifest description. The honest consolation is that the format is text plus PNGs, so a hand-authored pack needs no converter at all.
Changed
- Held at 0.9.0 rather than 1.0.0. Nothing here is known to be broken and the chain is measured end to end, but a version number is a promise about format stability, and this format has been driven by one author against four tilesets.
- The licensing note now says the thing that bites: converting a tileset to the loose-pack format is a modification of that art, so a set whose licence forbids modification cannot ship in this format without the artist’s permission.
