New in XorCurses 0.0.8 (Sep 15, 2009)
- Resizing the terminal XorCurses runs in can now increase the game display area and also allows the map display in the info panel to be shown in full detail.
- Two difficulty levels: new school and old school. The old school plays as the original Xor game; it restricts the game display area to 8x8 and the scrolling threshold is set to 1. The new school allows a game display area up to 12x12 and a scrolling threshold can be set as per previous releases.

New in XorCurses 0.0.7 (Jul 16, 2009)
