Angband 3.0 released
The new Angband version is available as source code and compiled DOS, Windows, and RISC OS (compiled by Andrew Sidwell) versions. More pre-compiled versions for other systems will hopefully follow in the next few days. Make sure to read the changelog since there have been many big changes in this release, including many new items, monsters, artifacts, and ego-items; a completely new list of spells; and the introduction of the Lua scripting language that will make it easier to expand and modify the game.

Antony Sidwell compiled EyAngband 0.4.5 for RISC OS machines.
Hengband for DOS
A DOS version of Hengband 1.0.11 has been compiled for MS-DOS by Joseph William Dixon.

"Gwahir the Windlord" created a new Angband page called The Angband Dungeon. The main feature is the messageboard, but the site also contains links, variants, and general Angband-related info.
And there is another new site - The Isparp Angband Pages created by Antony Sidwell. This site features RISC OS ports of Angband and EyAngband, an XML-based help system for Angband, and the gallery with the adventures of Mr.Att.
