    The biggest change is addition of the 'Saved Floors' which is
added only on the Hengband 1.5.0.  You can climb back stairs to get
back former floors, but different stairs will always take you to
(infinite) different floors.  More over when you get back to the
surface using stairs, Word of Recall, or some other way, all saved
floors will be cleared and you can explore entirely new infinite
number of floors.  Artifacts and unique monsters will appear freely on
any new floors, and if old ones are already in saved floors, they will
disapper from saved floors(they had moved to new floor).  Random quest
level is 'only-once' and stairs will be blocked from the inside once
the player exited the quest level.  Level-teleport, trap door, and
stair creation take you to the floor right above or right under the
former floor which is connected with one of the stairs in the former
floor; so you can get back to pick up the long sword (4d5) even
*after* you have fallen from trap door.

    On the other hand Hengband 1.4.0 on stable branch also has one big
change; Scrools of Satisfy Hunger are removed, and allocated other
objects their side job as substitute of satisfy hunger for Androids,
Barlogs, Golems, Zombies, Skeletons, Spectors, and Ents.  The
substitute of Androids are flasks of oil, for example.  Please make
sure to read on-line help, in-game description of each races, or
change list below.
