I would like to announce that Unangband 0.6.5c has been released by the new Unangband maintainer DGoldDragon28. DGoldDragon28 had been developing a variant based on Unangband, and now has my blessing to continue with the main Unangband releases as well.
You can find the full details at https://dgolddragon28.github.io/Unangband/ which is also the new Unangband homepage. Please redirect your links.

Unangband 0.6.4c released
It looks like I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and acknowledge I'm unable to compile Unangband for OS/X. If anyone is running an old enough version of OS/X to include the Quickdraw library headers, I'd love to host a compiled version of this release.
### Bug Fixes ###
- Allow monsters to use their ranged attacks (Fix thanks to Alexis Scheuer).
- Fix monster toughness descriptions (Fix thanks to Alexis Scheuer).
- Prevent Witchblooms spell description crashing the game.
- Allow Saruman to appear in ruined Hobbiton (Fix thanks to gold dragon).
- Prevent friendly uniques from being invulnerable to enemy attacks (Reported by Ashkir).
You can download the source and compiled Windows binary.

Oops
It looks like the biggest impediment for a quick release of UnAngband 0.6.3c is
a) I dropped my old (7+ years) Macbook yesterday while booting it for the first time in about 4 months. This killed the hard drive (*) modulo attempting a recovery later.
b) There are no QuickDraw headers in OS/X Mavericks.
Anyone have suggestions for (b).
(*) It turns out that I was not backing up a pen & paper RPG design I'd been working on on this laptop. I also have a mild feeling of unease that I may not have committed some UnAngband code, but nothing that worrying.

A brief hiatus
Unangband has been on hold a bit longer than I initially intended. In the interim, Berlios, the host and source code repository has died, although Source Forge has 'helpfully' picked up the SVN repository and file distribution.
I say 'helpfully' with caveats due to the deceptive advertising on the Source Forge download page, which is why the links to the right point have been updated to Github (for source code access) and Dropbox (for file distribution) and only the other files links to older versions references the Source Forge site.
I've also received an email with a fix to the long standing 'monsters don't perform range attacks' which plagued the last ever release of Unangband, from a helpful contributor (Alexis Sheuer). I got this email in February, however, which should be an indicator of how far I've successfully got towards integrating the small patch required to fix this.
Nevertheless, I'm in the process of slowly building up a build environment again and may have opportunity to release a fixed version of the Unangband 0.6.4 branch, and perhaps even an Unangband 0.7.0-very-alpha in the not to distant future.

Unangband 0.6.4b released
This is a back port of a number of features from the SVN version which probably deserve some air time prior to me releasing a broken 0.6.5. You can download the source code from http://prdownload.berlios.de/unangband/unangband-064b-src.zip, a precompiled Windows build from http://prdownload.berlios.de/unangband/unangband-064b-win.zip and a precompiled OS/X (Intel) build from http://prdownload.berlios.de/unangband/Unangband-0.6.4b-osx.dmg.
Changes as follows:
- Every spell book you study now uses up an inventory slot.
- Magic bags use two inventory slots.
- A number of new magic bags to spread out e.g. potions, among more bags.
- Mushrooms with mixed abilities.
- Monsters can now be dazed, hallucinate, suffer amnesia and be terrified (as opposed to merely afraid).
- Sorcerers get illusion spells which damage monsters which are hallucinating or sleeping.
- Priest monsters (and allies) now cast useful magics on their companions.
- Familiars now get more abilities including intentional support of draining life healing the player.
