Version 4 adds the following new features:

Added monster speech, which was stolen from both Kamband and Zangband; to add speech to a monster, give the monster the CAN_SPEAK flag, and be sure the third number in the "W:" line matches the numbers in "bravnnn.txt" and "fearnnn.txt". Speech kinds 0 and 52 were stolen from Zangband, while kinds 4 and 137 were from the built-in "moan"/"insult" arrays.
Turned off auto-pickup, and made it so that if you stay still and pick up an object, you do not use up a turn (but searching doesn't activate, and you should use '_' to enter a store without taking a turn)
Under the knowledge ('~') command, there is a new self knowledge sub-command, but it is not the same as the magical effect...
Added circular rooms from Ying-Yangband by Dag Arneson (does every variant have this now? ;-)
Raised the quality of treasure in the "cross-shaped, inner vault" room type (Remco Gerlich)
Changed the names of certain "novice xxx" monsters and other monsters which have the same name as each other
Applied Keldon Jones' "center panel on player" patch, adding two options in the Goingband Options screen
Added dungeon level/max to the character display
Removed the "EVIL implies RES_NETH" stuff
Chests drop good items; changed the levels of chests. (by Aidan Ryder)
The roguelike set now uses the ']' key for the 'repeat last command' command, and the multiple artifact and monster inventory bugs were fixed due to the Recall Patch 1.1
Fixed bug in earthquake routine where monsters would end up in walls. (by Tim Baker)
Alter Reality updates stores and generates a new town layout

The main change in version 3 of Goingband is that (too) many features from GW-Angband were added. However, the new magic system is an option: there are three new classes named GW-Mage, GW-Rogue, and GW-Ranger. All right, these were not the best names, but you get the idea.
