As promised here comes T-Engine4 and ToME4 beta11 !

I wanted to release it this sunday for the ARRP but I was with my wife at a medieval fantasy meeting, so no go (but you might get pictures later !).

Hopefully this late release can quality for the ARRP, but anyway it was scheduled to happen! Sorry if there are a few rough edges, I rushed to put it up as soon as I got out of the train!

Release highlights:

• New class : the Cursed
• New race: Noldor

  • to simply: self.log:toScreen()
