Simpler but effective. + Folks should, however, greatly reduce their chunk_migrate + value in mush.cnf -- we suggest '50'. [TAP] +Commands: + * @command/alias can alias commands. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Functions: + * zwho() and zmwho(). [EEH] +Minor Changes: + * utils/penn-install is no longer part of the PennMUSH distribution + (it's part of the Debian maintainer's stuff). [EEH] + * Inheritable @locks are inherited off of ancestor objects. + Suggested by Zith@Lovarii. [SW] +Fixes: + * Infinite recursion in @lock/examine fixed. Report by + Amy Kou'ai (Amy@ShoujoAi) and Sparta Kerleon (Sparta@ShoujoAi). [TAP] + * @flag/letter now allows setting a flag's letter to one used by + another flag that works on different object types. Report by Lenon. + * Translation corrections by Cheetah@M*U*S*H and [EEH]. + * Added __USE_POSIX to the cflags for linux, and removed + checking for -lbind, to help SuSE 9. Report by Ambrosia@M*U*S*H. + * Fixes to panic db loading logic. [SW] + * escape() shouldn't double-escape the first character of the + string when it's a special character. Report by Walker@M*U*S*H. + + +Version 1.7.7 patchlevel 39 October 25, 2004 + +Major Changes: + * Game and chat database formats have been rewritten. They are + much more human-readable, can be extended with new fields + without using versioning flags, and provide better detection + and reporting of malformed databases. [SW] + * Chunk deref counts for locks are now stored in the database. [SW] +Commands: + * New 'buy' command for purchasing items from vendors that can offer + multiple items at multiple prices. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * restrict_command and @command/restrict can now include an + error message to be sent when the player can't use the command, + which supercedes more generic errors. Suggested by Philip Mak. + Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Functions: + * lwho() can take an argument to produce the who list from that + player's viewpoint. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Fixes: + * nattr(obj/attrib) returns 1 when matching a non-wildcarded attrib. + Report by Impster@M*U*S*H. + * +chan is now converted to @chat = (with noeval) + so @chat hooks apply to +chatting too. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * You must be able to locate a player to perform elock() on them. + Report by Ambrosia. + * Help fixes by Sketch@M*U*S*H. + * Simplification of @version code. [SW] + * cemit() restrictions are now based on those of @cemit, instead + of @emit. Report by BlackPhyr. + * Setting queue_loss to 0 disables queue_loss. A bad idea, but + more consistent behavior. Suggested by K Moon. + * Examining objects always shows their actual number of coins, + whether or not they're admin or no_pay. + * Code cleanup in @edit and in char routines. [SW]. + * Wrong object checked when reporting money as unlimited. Report + by Nate Barney. [EEH] + * New hints/freebsd_5.sh. Suggested by James Lang. + * INFO command once again reports the server as "PennMUSH", + not just a version number. Report by Mark Hassman. + * Win32 linting. Builds with NT_TCP should work again (although + @shutdown/reboot under NT_TCP is still not functional). + Reorganization of the Win32 services macros. [EEH] + * Fix to bug with login attempts using literal encrypted strings. + Reported by Cadar and Mirrador. + * @ps/all shows the right label on top. Patch by qa'toq@bDv. + + +Version 1.7.7 patchlevel 38 August 25, 2004 + +Commands: + * @boot/silent disconnects without the standard message. + Suggested by Thor@bDv. +Fixes: + * Crash bug in is_objid fixed. Report by Wayne@PDX. + * God could cause a flag to lose its type status, and then become + inaccessible. Report by Wayne@PDX. + + +Version 1.7.7 patchlevel 37 August 23, 2004 + +Major changes: + * @adisconnect is triggered on every disconnection, partial or full. + This mirrors the behavior of @aconnect. Use %1 (the number of + remaining connections) to distinguish between partial and full + disconnects in @adisconnect code. +Minor changes (user-visible): + * When a player disconnects, their recv(), sent(), and cmds() + values are passed to triggered @adisconnects as %2, %3, and %4. + The number of remaining connections is passed as %1. + Suggested by Jessica Hawthorne and Wayne@PDX. + * No_Pay players now have their money reported as unlimited by + examine and score (but money() still returns a useful integer value). + ex/debug can be used to see the object's Pennies field. + Suggested by Wayne@PDX. +Fixes: + * ex obj/*1 and similar was matching like ex obj/*1*. Reported by + Math@HavenMUSH. + * inc() and dec() with out-of-range integers now return a more + useful error instead of odd behavior. Suggested by Jessica Hawthorne. + * Win32 bug with renamed temporary database files resolved. + Reported by AndromedaMU. + * Help fixes by Mike Griffiths. + * @mail commands with no message list were not using current folder. + Report by Jessica Hawthorne. + +Version 1.7.7 patchlevel 36 August 9, 2004 + +Functions: + * l/lv/n/nv/x/xvthings() functions by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * New flag to locate(), 'y', for matching player names like pmatch(), + without requiring a leading * before the name like the 'p' flag. [SW] + * lattr()/nattr() works for mortals on non-owned objects, showing + or counting only attribs they can examine. Suggested by Philip Mak, + patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Minor changes (user-visible): + * Mortals can no longer teleport HEAVY admin through exits. + Suggested by Ambrosia@M*U*S*H. +Minor changes (internals): + * win32 directory has subdirectories for msvc6 and msvc.net. [EEH] + * locate() on dark rooms now works for see_all players. Suggested + by Wayne@PDX. +Fixes: + * @mail subjects are stripped of ansi before being stored (escape + chars were always smashed on display). Suggested by Wayne@PDX. + * @command/delete by God of a non-existing command caused a crash. + Report by Wayne@PDX. + * Follow works again. Report by Shirow. + * Fix to digest()'s sha hash on systems without OpenSSL. [SW] + * @list/command no longer includes duplicates. Report by Relay@M*U*S*H.

[EEH] + * Help fixes by Mike Griffiths. + + +Version 1.7.7 patchlevel 35 July 21, 2004 + +Attributes: + * NO_NAME and NO_SPACE attribute flags, when applied to @o-message + attributes, omit either the enactor's name or the space after it + when sending the message to others. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. [3] +Commands: + * @break = now runs + instead of simply stopping execution when is true. + New command @assert breaks and runs new command when + is false. Suggested by Philip Mak and Zebranky@M*U*S*H. Patch by + Walker@M*U*S*H. + * The new command 'huh_command' is responsible for handling unmatched + command input. By default, it produces the usual Huh? message, but + it can be overridden with @hook. Logging of huhs is now controlled + in restrict.cnf and the log_huhs mush.cnf directive is removed. + Suggested by T'orA and Walker@M*U*S*H. + * New @decompile/prefix switch generalizes @decompile/tf. + Prefixes are now applied even when decompiling multiple attributes, + and a bug in doing so is corrected. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * New @edit/first switch only replaces first occurrence of string. + Suggested by Kevin@M*U*S*H. +Functions: + * malias() function for examining mail aliases. Inspired by + Kevin@M*U*S*H. + * llocks()/locks() lists locks on an object. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * lset() function works like @lset. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * lockflags() and llockflags() show short and long flags set on a lock. + Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * lattrp() is lattr() including parent attribs. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * nattr(obj/wildcardpattern) is now supported. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * nattrp() is nattr() including parent attribs. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * xattr(obj/wildcardpattern,start,count) extracts the corresponding + elements from lattr(). xattrp() is xattr() including parent attribs. + Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Minor changes (user-visible): + * @lset and lock() recognize locks beginning with user:. Patch by + Walker@M*U*S*H. + * When a player causes an ambiguous channel match, the error message + mentions CHAN_USEFIRSTMATCH, which now has a help entry. + Suggested by Luke@M*U*S*H. + * New sort options: sorting by dbref name, idle time, connection seconds, + creation time, owner dbref, and attribute values. sort() and any + functions that use list2arr() are now ansi-aware. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * You can @name yourself to your @alias; this swaps name and alias. + Suggested by Oriens@Alexandria. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Minor changes (internals): + * Several global variables are now encapsulated in a single structure + to reduce potential namespace clashes. + * Reorganization of some filecopy.c code. [SW] +Fixes: + * @mail manipulation specifying folder 0 explicitly when the + current folder is non-zero didn't work right. Report by + Jess Hawthorne. + * Buffer overflow in string handling fixed. Report by Ashen-Shugar. + * @sitelock/name of an already locked name no longer creates extra + entries. Report by Nymeria@M*U*S*H. + * make depend no longer produces an unterminated Makefile.SH. + Reported by Bytor and Cheetah@M*U*S*H. + * Help fixes by [SW]. + * Fix to replace_string2 to prevent overflow situations. Report by + Atuarre. [SW]. + * Removed non-static shutdownsock prototype in hdrs/mysocket.h. + Report by Kholnuu@M*U*S*H. + * SQL code should be much more memory-efficient. [SW] + * Code cleanup and fixes to some memory leaks with strcoll. [SW] + + +Version 1.7.7 patchlevel 34 June 22, 2004 + +Flags and Powers: + * Debit power allows the giving of negative amounts of money. + Suggested by Hemlon@SevenStones. + * The setting and resetting of flags and powers can be logged + by using the new 'log' restriction. Changes were made in + flaglocal.dst which you must carry over into flaglocal.c + (or, if you don't use flaglocal.c, just rm src/flaglocal.c and + flaglocal.dst will be copied in its place). Suggested by Sholevi@M*U*S*H + [SW] + * Setting and resetting @powers are once again logged by default. [SW] +Locks: + * @lock/speech can now be set by unprivileged players. @lock/speech + now applies to all players (it is no longer automatically overridden + by admin). SPEECH_LOCK`*FAILURE attributes can be used to override + the default failure messages when @lock/speech fails. +Commands: + * ex/parent examines an object and shows attributes that will be + inherited from its parents (if you are permitted to examine + the parent as well). Suggested by BladedThoth@M*U*S*H. + * examine now shows the complete (examinable-by-enactor) chain of + parent objects, not just the nearest parent. Suggested by Luke@M*U*S*H. +Functions: + * mailsend() is a function form of @mail/send. Suggested by Moe@ChicagoMUSH + * ncon, nvcon, nexits, nvexits, nplayers, nvplayers, nwho, nvwho + functions to count the number of each thing. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * xcon, xvcon, xexits, xvexits, xplayers, xvplayers, xwho, xvwho functions + to extract slices of potentially long contents, etc. lists. [Rhost,TM] + Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Minor changes (user-visible): + * Players can no longer be set CHOWN_OK. Suggested by Intrevis@M*U*S*H. + If you have existing CHOWN_OK players, you probably want to unset + this from them, or the results will be confusing (they'll continue + to appear to have the flag, even though it won't be testable or + settable or clearable; this is desired behavior). + * If you're See_All and Pemit_All, you may now @cemit on any channel. + Based on a suggestion by Philip Mak. + * Attempting to give a player more than max_pennies will give them + enough to get them to max_pennies, instead of being treated as + an error. Similarly, taking away more pennies than they have will + take away exactly all their pennies. + * Improved errors for unprivileged users doing @boot/port. + Suggested by Intrevis@M*U*S*H. [TAP] +Minor changes (internals): + * pre OS X Macintosh OSes are no longer supported. Hints for + Darwin are improved. [SW] + * An extra file descriptor only needed on Sun OS boxes was being + opened on all unix systems. [SW] + * If no config file name is given on the netmush program's command line, + it will assume you mean mush.cnf instead of quitting. You should still + be using the restart script instead of netmush directly, though, as it + does important things like using the right database... [SW] + * 'make local-files' will copy all the src/*local.dst files to their + respective .c counterparts. Suggested by Nymeria@M*U*S*H. [SW] +Fixes: + * Configure handles the case where SO_KEEPALIVE works but TCP_KEEPIDLE isn't + defined. [SW] + * Win32 portability fixes and mingw hints. [EEH] + * Raising max_logins from 0 with @config/set wouldn't take existing + connections into account. [SW] + * $commands starting with # (that don't look like an @force by dbref) + will now be matched. Reported by Intrevis@M*U*S*H. + * version() is verbose again. Reported by Sholevi@M*U*S*H. + * The double-add of SQL_OK on minimal.db is now really fixed. + See p33 changes for information. Report by Mordie@M*U*S*H. + * Help fixes by Kevin@M*U*S*H and Cerekk@bDv. + * @boot/desc on one's own descriptor is no longer translated to + @boot/me. [TAP] + * Overflow of integer argument in giving pennies fixed. Report by + Sholevi@M*U*S*H. + * Typo in fun_vcross() fixed. [SW] + * Configure does better when ssl shared libraries, but not static + libraries, are available. You can use -D no_openssl to skip SSL checks. + + +Version 1.7.7 patchlevel 33 June 3, 2004 + +Minor changes (internals): + * IsPlayer, etc. macros rewritten for clarity by Luke@M*U*S*H. + * Use enums in place of some more #defines and magic numbers. [SW] + * New did_it_with() hc function simplifies passing a dbref as %0 + to did_it actions. [SW] +Fixes: + * The SQL_OK power could get double-added. If this happened to you, + delete one of them and double-check that all sql-using objects + still have the power set. Report by Mordie@M*U*S*H. + * Missing include in game.c fixed. + * Improper include in bufferq.c fixed. Report by Leona and Walker@M*U*S*H. + * Obsolete bzero() uses removed.

If you start up the server and there's no + db to be found, it creates a new minimal database in memory. + * New commands: @command/alias, buy, @boot/silent, @assert, huh_command, + @decomp/prefix, @edit/first, ex/parent, empty, @nscemit, @function, + @nsemit, @nsoemit, @nslemit, @nsremit, @nszemit, ], @command/add, + @command/del, warn_on_missing, @switch/regexp, @*emit/spoof, + @tel/inside, @hook/ignore, @hook/override, @chan/recall, with/room, + IDLE, @sitelock/check, SCREENWIDTH, SCREENHEIGHT, ex/all + * New functions: zwho, zmwho, l/lv/n/nv/x/xvthings, malias, locks, llocks, + lset, lockflags, llockflags, lattrp, nattr/p, xattr/p, mailsend, + x/xv/n/nv/exits/players/things, nsemit/cemit/remit/lemit/oemit/zemit, + andlflags, andlpowers, orlflags, orlpower, andpowers, orpowers, + align, sent, recv, scan, valid, allof, firstof, tr, vcross, hostname, + ipaddr, cmds, reswitch*, digest, cowner, baseconv, randword, + trimtiny, trimpenn, terminfo, lports, strreplace, fraction, root, + children, accname, lpos, width, height + * New behaviors: @adisconnect, No_Pay, @name, @lock/speech, examine, + @cemit, give, @cost, SUSPECT, @startup, escape(), time(), merge(), + @set, move, @name, etimefmt(), insert(), PUPPET, help, rand, DEBUG, + TERSE, powers(), @config/set, @function/restrict, %~, @lock/leave, + tel(), @descformat, @idescformat, @aconnect + * @lock/interact can prevent other players from transmitting any + normal sound to you (that is, you won't hear them speak, pose, + emit, etc., like gagging them in a client). + * New flags: HEAVY, ORPHAN, MISTRUST + * New powers: Debit, Can_NSPemit + * New attribute flags: NO_NAME, NO_SPACE, DEBUG, NEARBY, PUBLIC, VEILED + * New channel flags: Notitles, Nonames, Nocemit + * You can log setting/resetting of flags/powers, as well as individual + commands or function calls. + * Rolling activity log dumped on panic dumps or visible with @uptime. + * A new test harness for developing regression test suites in perl + for PennMUSH is now included; few test suites are. If you can figure + out how to use this, write some tests for us! + * More and better telnet negotiation. + * Many internal improvements. Many old compile-time options removed + or replaced by run-time options. Source code commenting using + doxygen. Improved internationalization. + * New config directives: unconnected_idle_timeout, max_guests, + max_global_fns, read_remote_desc, default_home +Minor Changes (since last 1.7.7): + * The LFAIL/OLFAIL/ALFAIL messages are activated whenever a @lock/leave + is checked and failed, not just when a 'leave' command fails. + (So they work for failed attempts to leave rooms by exits/@tel). + Suggested by Zith@Lovarii. +Fixes (since last 1.7.7): + * Help for grab() now references graball().

[EEH]. + * Help fixes by Talvo@M*U*S*H. + * Fixes from 1.8.0p12 + + +Version 1.8.1 patchlevel 6 February 25, 2006 + +Major Changes: + * pcre updated to 6.4. This includes such nifty features and + named captures. [SW] + * NT_TCP code has been removed from the server. It was deemed + less useful than keeping the networking code unitary and + the ability to @shutdown/reboot. Patch by Nathan Baum. +Flags: + * New LOUD flag (admin-settable) causes an object to bypass + speech (including chat) and interaction locks. Admin and others + with Pemit_All no longer pass interaction locks automatically + unless they are also LOUD. Patch by Cheetah@M*U*S*H. +Locks: + * New DBREFLIST^ lock key checks to see if the enactor + appears in a list of dbrefs/objids stored on an attribute of + the object, simplifying a very common need. Suggested by + NightDaemon@M*U*S*H, patch by Cheetah@M*U*S*H. +Powers: + * Many_Attribs power allows an object to have more attributes + than the max_attrs_per_obj parameter. Suggested by Nymeria@M*U*S*H. +Functions: + * decompose() now decomposes ansi codes into ansi() calls. + Patch by Sketch@M*U*S*H. + * mapsql() efficiently feeds sql query results to an attribute. [GM] + * wildgrep()/wildgrepi() are versions of grep()/grepi() that now take + wildcard patterns instead of substrings. [SW] + * regmatch()/regedit() now has a more flexible syntax for assigning + subpatterns to %q-registers. [SW] + * decompose() no longer inserts an initial backslash all the time. + Suggested by Trinsec@M*U*S*H. + * ordinal() returns the spelled-out ordinal form of an integer. + Suggested by Malone@HavenMUSH. +Minor Changes: + * Font size tags (for pueblo) are not quite so huge for room names. + * The /noeval switch for @command is now called /noparse. + Patch by Nathan Baum. + * hints/cygwin.sh has been removed, as no hints were needed to + build on cygwin when tested with 1.5.19-4. win32/README.cygwin + has been added to document the cygwin build process. + * Added hints/darwin-fink.sh and README.OSX. [SW] +Fixes: + * Track_Money objects with No_Pay still reported coins lost to + queue costs, even though they didn't pay them. Report by + Cheetah@M*U*S*H. [GM] + * Help fixes by Trinsec@M*U*S*H, Cheetah@M*U*S*H. + * Various %c weirdnesses fixed by Cheetah@M*U*S*H. + * Better message in restart when mush.cnf not found by Talvo@M*U*S*H. + * @alias provides more specific error messages for invalid aliases + of various sorts. Suggested by Intrevis@M*U*S*H. + * Function restriction localize now appears in @function info output. + Better error messages when attempting to use invalid function + restrictions. Reported by Trinsec@M*U*S*H. + * Linting of warnings. [SW] + * Command and function names may now really start with punctuation + characters. Reported by Talvo@M*U*S*H. + * Fixes from 1.8.0p11. + + +Version 1.8.1 patchlevel 5 January 29, 2006 + +Major Changes: + * @attrib/access no longer treats one-word flag lists that don't + match a single flag as a set of flag characters. You must now always + specify a space-separated list of full flag names. +Commands: + * @list/locks and list(locks) lists all defined locktypes. + Suggested by Jules@M*U*S*H, patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * New @search classes 'start' (nth element of return list to start + with) and 'count' (how many elements to show, from ). + Useful for getting results a page at a time. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Functions: + * nsearch()/nlsearch()/nchildren() return the number of objects that + would be returned by the equivalent search/lsearch/children call. + Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Minor Changes: + * delete() can use a negative length argument to delete characters + leftward, a la MUX. [MUX, SW]. + * In @mail commands, : is now recognized as meaning 'all messages + in folder n'. Notably, @mail 3: now lists all messages in folder 3, + rather than reading all messages in folder 3. Patch by Sketch@M*U*S*H. + * When one alias in a list of aliases being set is invalid, we + now report it with specificity. Suggested by Talvo@M*U*S*H. + * You no longer need to escape commas in decompose(). Suggested by + Trinsec@M*U*S*H. + * @sitelock rules for Guest access can now be specified per-guest + character. Suggested by Talvo@M*U*S*H. + * process_expression now parses for regex pattern captures by default, + so lots of things will work better under regedit(). Use of a ufun + clears the captured registers so dollar signs in ufuns don't + need escaping. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * Refactoring of ufun code by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Fixes: + * Help fixes by Trinsec@M*U*S*H and Talvo@M*U*S*H and qa'toq@M*U*S*H. + * Crash bug in page fixed. Reported by the fine folks at ST:Foundation. + Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * Win32 portability fixes. [EEH] + * Fixes from 1.8.0p10. + + +Version 1.8.1 patchlevel 4 December 6, 2005 + +Major Changes: + * Errors in matching switches to commands are ignored when the + command is hook/ignored or hook/overriden, so you can override + a built-in command and provide your own switches. Suggested by + Trinsec@M*U*S*H. +Mail: + * @mailfilter attribute causes incoming mail to be be automatically + filed to a folder if it evaluates to a folder name/number. + Patch by Sketch@M*U*S*H. +Commands: + * @prompt/@nsprompt work like @pemit/list, but add a telnet GOAHEAD + at the end of the message when emitting to players; players whose + clients handle GOAHEAD (e.g. tf) will get the message displayed + as a prompt in the input window. Suggested by Trinsec@M*U*S*H. + * The PROMPT_NEWLINES socket command can be used to add a newline + after the GOAHEAD in a prompt, for clients that mix up prompt + lines with other output. +Functions: + * namegrab() and namegraball(). Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * prompt() and nsprompt() (the function equivalents of @prompt/@nsprompt). + * textentries(). Suggested by Trinsec@M*U*S*H. + * cdesc(), cusers(), cmsgs(), cbuffer(), cstatus(), clflags() + functions. Suggested by d'Ark@M*U*S*H. + * numversion() returns Penn version as an integer (1008001004) + for softcode use. +Minor changes: + * @chan/list works better for people who increase CHAN_NAME_LEN. + Suggested by Trinsec@M*U*S*H. + * Help fixes by Trinsec@M*U*S*H, Chili@M*U*S*H. + * Several powers (tport_anything, tport_anywhere, no_money, no_quota, + debit, sql_ok) are now aliased to TinyMUSH/TinyMUX equivalents + as well, for better code portability. [3,MUX] +Fixes: + * center() behaves better when given a fourth argument but + not a third one. Also fixes to cases where the right fill + string is one longer than the left. Report by Ian@M*U*S*H + * Fixes from 1.8.0p9. + + +Version 1.8.1 patchlevel 3 September 15, 2005 + +Fixes + * Bugfixes from 1.8.0p8 applied. + + +Version 1.8.1 patchlevel 2 September 5, 2005 + +Commands: + * @edit/check shows the results of an @edit without actually doing + it, to avoid inadvertent overediting. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Functions: + * sortkey() sorts a list by mapping each list element through a + function and applying a standard sort type. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. +Minor changes: + * "% " (percent-space) is now parsed to a literal percent-space, + making it easier to type things like "I'm 50% happy". And + % at end of line is parsed to a literal %. Patch by Sketch@M*U*S*H. + * @nameformat now receives the default-formatted name as %1 + so you can edit from that if you prefer. Suggested by Talvo@M*U*S*H. + * Added netbsd hints. Suggested by Tyr@M*U*S*H. + * hastype() can take a list of types to check for, not just one. [SW] + * Add @function/preserve, which does the same thing as the localize + restriction. [MUX] [SW] + * Leaving out the argument to align() defaults it to a + space. Suggested by Tyr@M*U*S*H, patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * Improved error message for setq() with odd arguments. + Report by Malix@8bit. + * When variable exits fail due to invalid/not permitted destination, + the enactor is told what the attempted destination was. + Suggested by Nathan Baum. + * Rooms may now @search/search() their owners. Suggested by Kali@M*U*S*H. +Fixes: + * @function/restrict mentioned in help. [SW] + * Clearer help on parallel setq. Suggested by Trinsec@M*U*S*H. [TAP] + * lsearch() didn't refund pennies when it failed because of lack of + permissions or invalid search criteria. Reported by Nathan Baum. [SW] + * lsearch() could return garbage objects. Report by Nathan Baum. [SW] + * %+ now only records argument count from last ufun, not from other + (builtin) functions. Report by Cheetah@M*U*S*H. + * Some linting of float comparisons. Report by Cheetah@M*U*S*H. + * page = now pages the player with a blank line instead of + repaging the last paged player with "". Report by Cheetah@M*U*S*H. + + +Version 1.8.1 patchlevel 1 June 27, 2005 + +Fixes: + * Players could set the 'internal' attribute flag, which causes + confusion. Report by Cooee@PDX. + * Setting attribute flags by character alias did not work + properly. + + +Version 1.8.1 patchlevel 0 June 25, 2005 + +Major Changes: + * Players may have multiple aliases, by specifying a semicolon-separated + list to @alias. Players may list their usual @name as one of their + aliases, and the @name command may be used to switch to any alias. + The maximum number of aliases per non-Wizard player may be limited by the + max_aliases config directive. Suggested by Nymeria@M*U*S*H. [3] + * 'home' is now a standard command, with no special precedence. + It can be @command/disabled and/or @hook'd. Suggested by + several people. If 'home' is disabled, 'goto home' will no longer + work (but @tel to home is still allowed). +Flags: + * A player with the TRACK_MONEY flag set gets a message any time + their objects spend or lose money. Patch by Walker@M*U*S*H. + * New Pueblo_Send power allows use of xch_cmd and send tags. +Mail: + * The @MAILFORWARDLIST attribute can be set to a list of dbrefs or + objids to which any @mail received should be forwarded. Your own + dbref may be listed if you wish to retain a copy + of the message as well. You must pass the @lock/mailforward of + any player listed in your @MAILFORWARDLIST. Suggested by T'orA@M*U*S*H. +Functions: + * setq()/setr() can set multiple registers in parallel. Suggested by + Nathan Baum. [SW] + * center() can now take multi-character fills, and can have different + left and right fills. Suggested by Boris@M*U*S*H. + * attrib_set() is a version of set() for setting attributes that + has a more comfortable syntax and that can clear attributes + without wiping whole attribute trees like wipe(). Suggested by + Kevin@M*U*S*H. [TAP] + * extract()'s second and third arguments are now optional, and default + to 1. Suggested by Philip Mak. + * lsearch() can now take more than one class/restriction pair, and + will require them all to be met. New "mindb" and "maxdb" classes + specify low and high dbrefs, and replace the old , + parameters, which are now deprecated. Suggested by qa'toq@bDv. + * alias() and fullalias() functions. [EEH] + * New function restriction "localize" causes q-registers to be + saved and restored around the function as if localize() or + ulocal() were used; handy for @functions. Patch by grapenut. + * flip() and reverse() no longer require escaping of commas. + Suggested by Yar Kramer. +Channels: + * Channels, by default, now ignore interaction rules defined in + local.c, so they can be used as "OOC" communication between + players who wouldn't be able to interact "IC"ly. A new per-channel + permission, "interact", changes this behavior back to enforcing + interaction rules on the channel. @lock/interact always applies, + however. Suggested by Shamash. + * New channel_flags config directive sets default permissions + for newly-created channels. +Minor changes: + * The %+ substitution returns the number of arguments passed to + a function and is useful in ufuns and @functions. + Suggested by Nathan Baum. + * The rules for valid command and functions names (e.g. for @command/add) + have been relaxed to allow @foo, +blah, and others with punctuation. + Suggested by Mike Griffiths. + * @hook/list lists hooks on a command. Suggested by Nathan Baum. + * @INVFORMAT works like @CONFORMAT for the inventory command. + * Help for mail and chat functions moves to pennmail.hlp and + pennchat.hlp, respectively. Suggested by Kevin@M*U*S*H. + * Settings and resetting multiple attribute flags at once is now + supported more flexibly. Suggested by Sholevi@M*U*S*H. + * The restart script handles mush.cnf files with Windows-style + line endings more gracefully. Reported by CBeilby@M*U*S*H. + * @attribute/access now understands the privilege 'none' to mean + 'no associated attribute flags'. Report by Tyson Cochrane. + * @flag/alias flag=!alias removes a flag alias. Suggested by + Relay@MatrixMUSH. + * @search now refers to things as things instead of objects. + Suggested by Zebranky@M*U*S*H. + * Suggested restrictions to disable hardcoded chat and mail + are in restrictcnf.dst for those who want to do that. + Patch by Kevin@M*U*S*H. + * TZ attribute is now visual by default, since time() gets it anyway. + Suggested by Mike Griffiths. +Fixes: + * Fixes include from versions up to 1.8.0p6. diff --git a/CHANGES.182 b/CHANGES.182 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1ea34fc --- /dev/null +++ b/CHANGES.182 @@ -0,0 +1,95 @@ + +This is the most current changes file for PennMUSH.
