Here is a lot of authors of older versions. An author of the first based it on Europe Risk.
My version 7.3 is based on 7.2 by Spontanus & Risk_FTW.
Middle Earth Risk 7.91 is the newest final official version.

The most important differences between Middle Earth Risk 7.91 and 7.9:
- errors fixed
- new commands: -color (let to see a list of players’ colors) and –teams (let to check who’s teamed with whom in –ao2 mode)
- terrain changed a bit
- improved Information (F9)

The most important differences between Middle Earth Risk 7.9 and 7.81:
- removed possibility of crashing the game by long-range units (they don’t jump into the circle automatically)
- resolved problem which turned towns into neutral
- fixed other errors
- special points renamed to points
- very big changes in descriptions of units, auras and abilities, information (F9), text massages and hotkeys (added and adjusted)
- rebalanced units with damage reduction (strong body, robust body), cleaving attack, heroes and few other
- conditions of victory set for every mode
- -np (No Pacts) mode
- -ao2 (Alliance of 2) mode where everyone can choose one teammate during the game
- game begins after minute while which red chooses a mode and submodes
- submodes: -g7 (begin gold = 7, begin points = 0), -rules (no pacts out of team), -80% (win with 80% of towns), -90% (win with 90% of towns), -t45 (set turn time on 45 s) –t100 (set turn time on 100s)
- in some modes and in –rules submode host can kick

- control is shared automatically in team modes
- palantirs in Minas Tirith and Istengard
- nearly free control of camera’s distance, degree and rotation
- new icon for points and Nazguls, 3 new models
- some changes in overview
- bridges work without errors

- heroes haven't web
- catapults are more expensive

The most important differences between Middle Earth Risk 7.81 and 7.8:

- script optimization

The most important differences between Middle Earth Risk 7.8 and 7.7:
- statistics of ALL units, hero, special abilities and auras have been balanced and remade according to the mathematic
- gates work properly

- Special Points (SP) works similar to wood but you get SP/turn = (Glory+3)/4
- you don’t need Glory/Food for hero
- hero aren’t so mighty warriors as they were. Now they are useful only as a support (as it should be)
- no hero cloning. You cannot buy a new hero with the same name while old one is still alive (ex. there can be only 1 Which-King same time), excluding Nazguls.

- new models, other visual changes
