Neo Angband v0.29.0

What you can download

Platform	File
Windows (installer)	Neo Angband Setup 0.29.0.exe
Windows (portable, one file)	Neo Angband-0.29.0-portable.exe
macOS	.dmg, or the .zip if you prefer to unpack it yourself
Linux	.AppImage (no install), .deb, or .tar.gz
Self-hosting	neo-angband-web-0.29.0.zip - static files, any web server

The portable Windows build and the AppImage need no installer: download, run, and the game keeps its saves in a folder beside itself.

These builds are not code-signed

There is no Apple Developer identity or Windows certificate behind this project yet, so your OS blocks the first launch.

Windows is one click: SmartScreen says “Windows protected your PC”, choose More info then Run anyway.

macOS is not one click, and the dialog it shows you does not contain the way through - it offers only Done and Move to Trash. Do this:

1. Drag the app out of the .dmg, then double-click it and press Done on the refusal. This step is required: it is what makes the permission below appear, and it expires about an hour later.
2. Open System Settings -> Privacy & Security and scroll to Security, near the bottom.
3. Press Open Anyway on the line naming Neo Angband, authenticate, and launch it again.

Or, the same decision in one command: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Neo Angband.app"

The old right-click -> Open trick does NOT work: Apple removed that bypass in macOS 15 Sequoia.

On Apple Silicon take the arm64 build. The x64 one is for Intel Macs, not a fallback - Apple is withdrawing Rosetta 2, so on a current Mac it is likelier to refuse to launch than to run slowly.

If that trade is not one you want to make, build it yourself - docs/INSTALL.md - or play in the browser, which needs no trust decision.

Your save

Saves survive an update. Every save-format change ships the conversion that reads the version before it, and a save this build cannot open is left untouched rather than replaced.

Added

• Mod authors can now put renamedSectionFlags on a PackSection to preserve a player’s explicit on/off decision when a section is renamed or when a rule becomes a section to gate content. The host imports the first matching legacy rule or section choice before applying the section default.
• A save’s manifest now records the content digest of every present pack. Loading warns when a still-present pack’s digest no longer matches what the save was written with, catching a session-only mod that patched a core record (rather than only adding one) differently, or dropped the patch entirely, even though nothing was orphaned. Only session mods are measured today; a regular installed mod’s digest is a documented follow-up (docs/modding/MOD_SEAMS.md section 4d).
• The agent view can answer “does this player’s class have flag X.” PlayerView.classFlags reports the PF_* codes on the player class’s own flag set (class.txt’s player-flags: lines) - COMBAT_REGEN for a Blackguard, ZERO_FAIL for a Mage, and so on. The view already carried equipment-derived object flags and derived skills, but nothing that read the class definition itself, so a mod asking a class-flag question had no seam to ask it through. A new field on an existing view rather than a new accessor, so the agent API is now 1.3.0.

Fixed

• flavor.txt’s fixed:/flavor: order is now recoverable from the compiled record. The content compiler used to split the two directives into separate arrays, so a record that interleaved them could not be reproduced from the compiled shape at all - the entry index cannot stand in for file order either, since flavor.txt’s own numbering is not the order the file writes lines in. Nothing shipped interleaves the two directives, so this was latent rather than live; it would have become live the moment a mod’s flavor.txt did. The compiler now emits one ordered entries list per record, each entry tagged with which directive produced it, so binding follows the file’s real line order regardless of how a flavor.txt interleaves fixed: and flavor:.
