These are the differences I'm aware of between 4.06 and 4.07:
- The registration routine for 4.07 takes the BBS name into account,
so registration codes for 4.06 won't work on 4.07.
- In 4.07, weapons and armor require minimum strength and defense stats.
I.E.: you can't buy a Crystal Shard with a strength stat of 10, even
if you have the gold to afford it. I feel like this is intended to help
balance the game, but some sysops prefer to stick with 4.06.
- 4.07 also has new ANSI menus in the weapons and armor shops.
I believe 4.08b only fixed a bug in 4.07 with viewing table etchings in the Dark
Cloak tavern that caused a crash. I'm not aware of any other changes, but the
whatsnew file doesn't list anything after 4.07, so it's hard to tell.
