This list is much more detailed for the versions since 0.9.9 gamma six. A really complete and really long list of all the changes made to ADOM since its inception can be found at Thomas Biskup's official site. The full URL is: http://www.adom.de/adom/history.php3
| Version | Notes |
|---|---|
| 0.2.0 | first alpha version; only one dungeon; unwinnable |
| 0.4.0 | Dwarftown, shops, herbs, pools added; first winnable version |
| 0.7.0 | first public release; color added |
| 0.9.0 | the game as it appears today comes into existence with a wilderness; ToEF added |
| 0.9.9 gamma 6 | no mana temple; chaos god ending was possible; no class powers; no Assassins' Guild; last gamma where RotHK dungeon was a single level; stat increases with herbs were unlimited |
| 0.9.9 gamma 7 | suffered from a fatal bug in the mana temple, all walls were undiggable, mindcrafters could still win by teleporting in with their class power; class powers introduced |
| 0.9.9 gamma 8 | regarded as a very easy version; several new artifacts; last gamma where drakelings became permanently fast from heat |
| 0.9.9 gamma 9 | very difficult version: less item generation, more item destruction, first version where dropped items were destroyed by ranged spells, elemental orbs corrupted merely by carrying; necromancer display bug when creating slaves; first yellow pyramid and color-changing top level of ToEF |
| 0.9.9 gamma 10 | extensively pretested which made this quite stable and balanced; first version where TotRR was available; vortices introduced; crumpled scroll, emperor moloch and quickling bard could be wished for; first implementation of wand of destruction ending; ultra endings were not possible because of requirement to wield both Sceptre and Trident at gate entry - Trident is two-handed!; game would sometimes crash unrecoverably upon entering the ID level containing Filk |
| 0.9.9 gamma 11 | firing autotargeted missiles without selecting a target crashed the game |
| 0.9.9 gamma 12 | stable; suffered from annoying bug that made many +0 items possible; last gamma where the & symbol was used for necklaces |
| 0.9.9 gamma 13 | piety loss (much too high) and preferred sacrifices introduced; equipment destruction was ridiculous in this gamma; rivers introduced; room effects introduced; new room connection algorithm made some levels unplayable; short-lived |
| 0.9.9 gamma 14 | piety loss still too high; room connection algorithm fixed |
| 0.9.9 gamma 15 | first attempt at monster inventories: monsters which picked up items would not necessarily drop them when killed - including artifacts like the Chaos Orbs; +0 bug since gamma 12 solved; piety loss toned down again |
| 0.9.9 gamma 16 - prerelease 1 | no entering dungeons? |
| 0.9.9 gamma 16 - prerelease 2 | bugs include a duplicate artifact bug and a strange (integer overflow?) bug that causes weird items (most often daggers with outrageous stats that cannot be picked up) and monsters that deal thousands of points of damage in a single hit - a very rare bug that does not
make the game unplayable; there is also a duplicating missiles bug Download the ADOM Guidebook g16p2 archives: HTML - zipped, 338 Kb, compiled July 31st, 2001 ASCII - zipped, 193 Kb, synced with the HTML July 31st, 2001 |
