There should only be two changes in behavior:
arogue7/fight.c, arogue7/fight.c: a to-hit bonus is now correctly
applied to characters who are not monks instead of monks who are not
empty-handed.
urogue/fight.c: fixed an interaction with the "debug" macro that could
cause the wrong message to be displayed.
In some games, restore() passes the result of ctime() to mvprintw() or
some other variadic message-formatting function. If ctime() has not
been declared properly, its return type is inferred to be int instead
of char *. This does not cause a warning because the compiler does not
know the correct type of variadic arguments.
On platforms where ints and pointers are not the same size, this can,
probably depending on alignment, result in a segfault that is not easy
to trace.
Including time.h fixes the problem. Some games manually declared
ctime() and avoided the bug. These declarations have also been
replaced with the include.
The new function md_random_seed() has replaced time() + getpid() and
similar methods. Putting everything in mdport.c slightly reduces the
warnings and workarounds.
Super-Rogue, like Rogue V4, stored data of machine-dependent length in
the savefile, to prevent cheating. This made saved games non-portable.
Also deleted was a check that used this data, and prevented restoring
savefiles from backup.
This change BREAKS SAVEFILE COMPATIBILITY, but old files can be
converted by removing the block at offset 0x1e with length
sizeof(ino_t) + sizeof(dev_t) + 2 * sizeof(time_t). That seems to be
0x14 on i686 and 0x20 on x86_64.
