The file history.adoc contains a more detailed history of this game
-and its ancestors.
+and its ancestors. The file notes.adoc is the maintainer's notes,
+describing project goals and recent changes.
This project is called "Open Adventure" because it's not at all clear
how to number Adventure past 2.5 without misleading or causing
executable in order to avoid a collision with the BSD games port of
the ancestral 1977 version.
-You can run a regression test on the code with 'make check'.
+Please see INSTALL.adoc for build info.
+
+Extreme care has been taken to not silently change gameplay. By
+policy, all user-visible changes from 2.5 are revertible with the
+-o (oldstyle) option.
+
+If you encounter a bug (not likely; this code is old and well tested)
+please try to make a test log that reproduces it, using the -l option,
+and ship it to the maintainers.
