=============================================================================
TinyMUSH 3.2 Beta History
=============================================================================
06/06/2011: TinyMUSH 3.2 gamma release
- Fix: A typo in gdbm.h (3.1)
06/01/2010: Beta 3
- Enhancement: New @include command allows the inline inclusion of the
action list from another attribute. Idea from PennMUSH.
- Enhancement: New /optimize switch to @dump does an optimized dump (allows
occasional optimized saves without using the opt_frequency parameter).
- Enhancement: New functions align() and lalign() do newspaper-style
column formatting. Idea from PennMUSH.
- Enhancement: New function benchmark() for benchmarking softcode. Idea
from PennMUSH.
- Enhancement: New function bound() constrains a number between a minimum
and maximum. Idea from RhostMUSH.
- Enhancement: New function diffpos() string-comparison function.
- Enhancement: elements() now supports a slicing syntax, including
negative numbers (N positions from end) and <start>:<end>:<step>
- Enhancement: New function exclude() is an inverse form of elements().
- Enhancement: New function etimefmt(), inspired by PennMUSH, formats a
time interval in seconds, in terms of days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
- Enhancement: New functions for coordinate grids; grid() etc.
- Enhancement: New function ibreak() breaks out of a loop used by iter()
and related functions. Idea from RhostMUSH.
- Enhancement: New function join() joins strings without extraneous
delimiters. Useful for appending and so forth.
- Enhancement: lattr() can take an optional <start> and <count>, allowing
extraction of results too long for a single buffer.
- Enhancement: New functions ltrue() and lfalse() test boolean-true and
boolean-false on lists.
- Enhancement: New function qsub() provides "safe" string substitutions
using local register data.
- Enhancement: New function stripchars() for string-editing.
- Enhancement: New function tokens() processes complex lists.
- Enhancement: Justification indicators on table(). Idea from PennMUSH.
- Enhancement: New function unmatchall() is a reverse matchall(), which
gets the element numbers of list items that don't match a pattern.
- Enhancement: New functions vand(), vor(), vxor() perform boolean logic
between lists.
- Bugfix: baseconv() handles negative numbers. [3.2b1; Penn]
- Bugfix: itext2() is properly accessible. [3.1p6]
- Misc: Updated copyright.
- Bugfix: stpcpy() conflict with string.h's included function (Mac OS X
10.6.5).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
03/02/2009: Beta 2
- Enhancement: nofx() function selectively prevents function side-effects.
- Enhancement: sandbox() function combines functionality of objcall(),
ucall(), and nofx() into a general selective-limitation function.
- Enhancement: New config parameter info_text allows you to add arbitrary
fields to INFO output. Idea from Talvo.
- Bugfix: Fixed ucall()-related memory leaks. [3.2b1]
- Bugfix: Fixed a bug in Makefile.in that prevented building more then one
module. [3.2a2]
- Bugfix: Non-hackish way to detect gettimeofday() on MacOS X. [2.0]
- Misc: Updated autoconf to version 2.62.
- Misc: Updated Libtool to version 1.5.26.
- Misc: Updated SHTool to version 2.0.8.
- Misc: Updated gdbm to version 1.8.3.
- Fix: Fixed gdbm tools to work with gdbm 1.8.3.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
02/23/2009: TinyMUSH 3.2 beta release
- Feature: All objects have a creation timestamp, accessible via the
creation() function. This requires a database upgrade.
- Feature: PennMUSH-style object IDs (objIDs) are supported, using the
unique combination of dbref and creation time. Almost anything that
can take dbrefs can take an objID. New functions objid() and isobjid().
New substitution %: gives objID of the enactor.
- Enhancement: Queue entries now have a process ID (PID). You can adjust
the wait time of something on the wait queue with @wait/pid, or remove
an individual queue entry with @halt/pid. @ps now shows PID entries,
and information about the queue can be obtained via the ps() function.
New param queue_max_size controls the maximum size of the queue.
- Enhancement: @wait/until allows specifying a particular time in
seconds since the epoch.
- Enhancement: New function ucall() allows selective preservation and
restoration of local registers in a u()-style call.
- Enhancement: New function baseconv() does numeric base conversions.
- Enhancement: New function esc() is a lighter-weight escape()-like
function, intended just for dealing with string substitution.
- Enhancement: New function isalnum() checks if a string is alphanumeric.
- Bugfix: Specifying an overly long wait time no longer causes the
command to execute immediately. [2.0]
- Bugfix: When the wait queue is processed, all expired waits are
executed (rather than only one such command done per second). [2.0]
=============================================================================
TinyMUSH 3.1 Beta History
=============================================================================
06/21/2004: TinyMUSH 3.1 gamma release
- Feature: @pemit/@oemit can take a /move switch, per suggestion by
Mike Whitaker.
- Fix: Fatal bug in structure() fixed; default values should be
optional. [3.0; Traest]
- Fix: Stack items could be set to -1 by pop() or toss(). [3.0; Draci]
- Fix: Evaluating the termination condition in while() or until()
could corrupt the buffer it evaluated in, causing inconsistent
behavior. [3.0; Draci]
- Fix: Better error handling around regular expression matches, fixing
at least one bug where regedit() could use an uninitialized buffer. [Penn]
- Fix: @list memory was counting vattr names twice. [3.1]
- Fix: Fixed a cache memory leak when in standalone mode. [3.1]
- Misc: Added support for Perl-style curly braces in the regedit()
replacement string, i.e. ${1} is the same as $1. The curly braces may
need to be escaped in order to work.
- Misc: Compatibility update for x86_64 cpu types (e.g. opteron).
- Misc: Code cleanup around parser calls, after making sure the parser
always nul-terminates its own output.
- Misc: Miscellaneous minor code cleanup.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
08/13/2003: Beta 11
- Fix: @trigger/now switch had no effect. [3.1b7; Draci]
- Fix: Patched gdbm-1.8.0 bugs, based on gdbm-1.8.3:
- gdbm_reorganize (see 'wizhelp opt_frequency') had a small memory leak.
- Too many free blocks in the gdbm database could cause an overflow.
- Fix: Beta 10 cache changes caused some attributes not to be written
out to the gdbm file. [3.1b10]
- Fix: Lookup slave no longer leaves zombie processes; requires rerunning
configure script to look for wait4(). [MUX2; Brazil]
- Misc: If the last line of the logfile is a GDBM panic: write error,
the Startmush script will stop, and direct user to run a Reconstruct first.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
07/30/2003: Beta 10
- Fix: The cache now keeps a single freelist. Fixed several bugs. [3.1]
- Fix: Immediate commands that modify the queue are no longer truncated
at the next semicolon, unless the command itself was halted. [3.1a2]
- Fix: @halt checks queue entry ownership more carefully to avoid
referencing Owner(#-1). [MUX]
- Fix: Don't allow tel_anything objects to be teleported by anyone. [3.1a6]
- Fix: If no database is loaded, do not log the name of the player when
setting config permissions. [3.1]
Because this version has cache code changes, games running on this
version should be backed up daily!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
04/28/2003: Beta 9
- Feature: Added elockstr(). Idea from Joel Ricketts.
- Fix: Restored missing statement so exits don't get set with the wrong
default flags. [3.1b8; Threnody]
- Fix: Delimiters are passed by reference to avoid a gcc 3.1 bug.
- Fix: The @Ttofail attribute has been corrected to @TOFail. [3.1a8]
- Fix: The MUSH's "dumping" status is cleared more carefully when
a child process exits, making sure it was really a forked dump
process and that it really ended. [MUX; Brazil]
- Fix: Large TRACE output no longer involves the use of freed
memory. [MUX; Brazil]
- Fix: Exits and rooms may not use the "home" command. [2.0]
- Fix: If the Dropto of a room is set to home, it's not really
invalid. [3.1b8]
- Misc: @pemit and related commands/functions avoid duplicate
recipients.
- Misc: If ladd() is given a blank list, it returns 0 instead of

- Misc: Limited lookup-slave child processes to 20 in case of
denial-of-service attack. [MUX; Brazil]
- Misc: Configure always checks for zlib if using MySQL.
- Misc: 'make clean' no longer removes the tinygdbm library.
- Misc: Workaround for broken 'make depend' on MacOS X and possibly
other systems.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/02/2002: Beta 8
- Feature: speak() now takes a says-string parameter, and obeys the
say_uses_comma conf parameer. Please note that the argument order has
changed, to facilitate the common case of not wanting a total
transformation.
- Feature: If @speechformat has the no_name attribute flag, an empty
result is treated as valid, so all-side-effect results are possible.
- Feature: lpos() can check multiple characters. Based on a suggestion from
Joel Ricketts.
- Feature: Added objcall(), which evalutes the text of an attribute from
another object's perspective, like a combination of u() and objeval().
Idea from Joel Ricketts.
- Feature: Added fcount(), fdepth(), ccount(), cdepth(), for getting
function and command invocation and recursion counters. Based on a
concept from Shadowrun Denver MUSH.
- Feature: A new conf parameter, c_is_command, controls whether %c is
last command (default) or ANSI substitution.
- Feature: @mail supports separate to/cc/bcc lists. Patch from
Simon Bland, plus misc fixes.
- Feature: @doing has a /quiet switch to avoid "Set." messages. Based
on a suggestion from Solace@Evolution.
- Fix: The border() family of functions supports left-indentation (spaces
at the beginning of a line) properly. [3.1; Sally Schreiber]
- Fix: Object stack limits are properly enforced. [3.0; Joel Ricketts]
- Fix: A rare problem with spurious permission denied messages when
setting an attribute has been fixed. [2.0; Joel Ricketts]
- Fix: Running MEMORY_BASED works again. [3.1; Tyr]
- Fix: Since our copy of gdbm includes an important change, we build it
as libtinygdbm.a to avoid linking netmush with an unmodified gdbm, as
sometimes happened on Linux systems.
- Fix: Permission to lock/unlock an attribute should depend on the
victim's CONSTANT flag, not the executor's. [3.0b14]
- Fix: Some integer math results were displayed as "-0".
- Fix: Numeric conf parameters such as sacrifice_factor that are used
in division may not be set to zero.
- Fix: rloc() now works on exits as documented (returns destination).
- Fix: Buffer overflow in SIGTERM handler. [3.0b8]
- Fix: God can't be set GOING or @chowned. [2.0; Brazil]
- Fix: A player being destroyed may lack a Destroyer attribute if
simply set GOING by God. [MUX; Jeff Czyz]
- Fix: Valid hostnames returned by the lookup slave may start with
numbers. [MUX; Brazil]
- Fix: Global registers should be cleared between interactive
commands. [2.0; Brazil]
- Fix: Fatal bug in regedit() fixed. [3.1a4]
- Fix: Infinite loop in regeditall() fixed. [3.1a4]
- Fix: Player names consisting of only whitespace are not allowed.
[3.0; Brazil]
- Fix: Corrected the function that's supposed to avoid random
number generator bias. [3.1b6]
- Fix: children(no such object) should not return all unparented
objects, but children(#-1) should. Similar fixes for inzone and
zwho. [MUX]
- Fix: Extra space no longer appears after columns() output. [MUX]
- Fix: config() can access dbref conf parameters [3.1a8; Eric Kidder],
and dbref conf parameters can be registered by modules. [3.1a8; Tyr]
- Fix: Renamed "mstate" parameters to avoid conflict with the malloc
facility in RedHat 8.0. [2.0; Pete C.]
- Fix: Commands that begin with a single backslash are handled properly
as @emits. [2.0; sTiLe]
- Fix: Spurious CPU limit warnings from a weird clock() on Linux and BSD
have been eliminated. [3.1b1]
- Misc: The global attribute flags no_clone (c) and constant (k) now sohw
up in an examine.
- Misc: Unprivileged exits may destroy themselves, requested by
drdubious.
- Misc: The hide power is also required in order for non-wizard
idlers to be affected by the idle_wiz_dark conf parameter.
[MUX; Dellin@Aftermath]
- Misc: Improved protection against invalid dbrefs in dbref-type
conf parameters.
- Misc: config() can access option conf parameters, of which the
only one is signal_action, readable by God.
- Misc: Logic for 64-bit alignment of the alloc pool_header struct was
wrong, but worked anyway. [3.1a8]
- Misc: The paranoid_allocate conf parameter checks all buffer pools
(previously omitted the player cache pool).
- Misc: Assorted spelling corrections and other minor cleanup.
- Misc: Re-released under the Artistic License.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
08/29/2002: Beta 7
- Feature: @verb now takes a no_name switch, which prevents the actor's
name from being prepended to the default o-message.
- Feature: The format and text of a say and pose can be arbitrarily altered,
via the @speechformat attribute and SPEECHMOD flag on the speaker, or the
speaker's location.
- Feature: New conf parameter huh_message lets you change the Huh? message
when a command cannot be matched.
- Fix: A memory leak related to global registers has been fixed. [3.1b6]
- Fix: Wildcard and regexp pattern matching are better at handling worst-case
scenarios. Added new conf parameter wildcard_match_limit. [2.0; Javelin]
- Fix: @listmotd works properly for non-wizards again. [3.1a7; Jaye]
- Misc: check_access() is more efficient. Based on MUX2 algorithm.
- Misc: Assorted bits of code cleanup.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
08/14/2002: Beta 6
- Feature: Global registers can now be named arbitrary things, with the
number permitted by an action list limited to the conf parameter
register_limit. setq() can now take multiple name-value pairs.
- Feature: munge() now passes its input delimiter to the u-function
as %1. Idea from PennMUSH.
- Feature: More informative error message when a function is given the wrong
number of arguments. Idea from Philip Mak.
- Feature: Players with the See_Queue power can now @ps other players, not
just @ps/all and themselves.
- Misc: The 'xmatch' attribute flag (added in beta 5) is now called
'rmatch'. Rather than setting the results of the match into x-variables,
the result is set into named global registers. This eliminates the
issues with clobbering variables, needing to use the Now flag, etc.
- Misc: Replaced the random number generator with Mersenne Twister.
Use derived from PennMUSH, which derives it from MUX2.
- Misc: The maximum length of a comsys header is now 64 characters
instead of 32.
- Fix: dbconvert -C crash fixed. [2.0; Jake]
- Fix: Fatal bug in children() fixed. [3.1b4; Pete C.]
- Fix: The Quota power works (this feature originally didn't make it
into 3.0 from MUX, an oversight). [3.0]
- Fix: The ampersand is no longer dropped from unrecognized entities in
html_unescape(). [2.0]
- Fix: A quirk in the truncation of long strings has been fixed. [2.2; Brazil]
- Fix: Exit names are no longer mutilated when ansi() is used to embed
multiple ANSI codes in them. [MUX; Pro]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
07/26/2002: Beta 5
- Feature: The new attribute flag 'now' causes a matched $/^-action to
be executed immediately.
- Feature: The new attribute flag 'xmatch' causes wildcard match data
for a $/^-action to be set into x-variables as well as placed on the
stack, i.e. '$hit *{victim} with *{weapon}' to retrieve the victim
and weapon strings via %_<victim> and %_<weapon> is now possible.
Based on an idea from KiliaFae.
- Feature: There are five new search classes -- ueval, uthing, uplayer,
uroom, uexit. They call an obj/attr u-function for evaluation. This
makes it unnecessary to deal with the brackets-escaping issues that
plagued use of search() in conjunction with the eval classes.
- Feature: "Altered reality" realm states like invisibility are supported
through the use of the PRESENCE flag and six new locks (HeardLock,
HearsLock, KnownLock, KnowsLock, MovedLock, and MovesLock). The
module API for did_it() has changed to support this.
- Feature: The new functions hears(), moves(), and knows() check permissions
related to Presence.
- Feature: The new /speech switch to @pemit explicitly marks a @pemit as
speech subject to Presence checks. @oemit now takes two new switches,
/noeval and /speech.
- Feature: The new group() function splits/sorts a list into groups.
- Feature: hasflag() can now detect object types.
- Feature: The new hasflags() function can operate on multiple lists of
flags and types, returning true if all elements in any of the lists
are true.
- Misc: elock(), hasflag(), haspower(), and type() now all return
#-1 NO MATCH when they can't find the object they're checking.
Previously they returned #-1 NOT FOUND; for consistency's sake,
they now behave like everything else.
- Misc: Caution is exercised when a match result could be #-3.
- Misc: The check_paths script (used by other scripts) clarifies which
things are errors and which are warnings.
- Fix: An off-by-one error which could cause crashes and corruption
when saving the database has been fixed. [3.1; Ashen-Shugar]
- Fix: The game/backups directory is now correctly included with the
distribution.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
06/27/2002: Beta 4
- Feature: The new no_name attribute flag prevents the actor's name from
being prepended when that attribute is used as an @o-attr (including
with @verb).
- Feature: The new conf parameter say_uses_comma, if enabled, will insert
the grammatically-correct comma into say and @fsay.
- Feature: The new conf parameter say_uses_you, if disabled, will always
show the speaker '<name> says' rather than 'You say'. This is more
convenient for environments where activity is often logged and shared.
- Feature: lpos(), lattr(), lexits(), lcon(), xcon(), children(), lparent(),
and the grep() family now take an output delimiter.
- Feature: Added connrecord(), connected player record (as in WHO).
- Feature: Added @@(), which is like null() except the argument is not
evaluated. Idea from PennMUSH.
- Feature: @conformat and @exitformat get their visible contents/exits
lists passed as %0.
- Feature: Flatfiling now automatically cleans the attribute table.
(Use -q to turn this off.) Removed @dbclean, since this is now unnecessary.
- Feature: Restore script can now handle archives produced by Archive.
- Fix: Minor parts of structure db were not properly cleared at startup:
connected flag, internal 'dirty' flag, and cpu time used. [3.1a8]
- Fix: Prevent infinite loop in cache when cache fills with nothing but
modified attributes (extremely rare, but not impossible). [3.1]
- Fix: Restore script determines database name from archive name by
removing extension, not truncating at second dot. [3.1a9; Scott Schappell]
- Misc: Scripts now use the correct extensions for various compression
formats, and handle the bzip2 compression format.
- Misc: The expanded_who power no longer grants the ability to see
Dark players in WHO. (Previously those with the power could, but
weren't able to get that info via functions.)
- Misc: pos() strips ANSI out of the string to search for, in addition
to the string to search within.
- Misc: @addcommand sanity-checks command names.
- Misc: Minor cleanup.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
06/07/2002: Beta 3
- Feature: The new choose() function picks an element from a list on a
weighted-random-choice basis.
- Feature: The new helptext() function retrieves an entry from an indexed
textfile (i.e., help, news, or anything else added via the helpfile or
raw_helpfile conf directives).
- Feature: The new oemit() function provides the equivalent of @oemit.
- Feature: trim() can now take a trim string of arbitrary length.
- Feature: Added cache_put_notify and cache_del_notify modules API hooks.
These hooks are called when data is added, changed, or deleted from the
MUSH cache.
- Fix: Crash bug with entrances() fixed. [3.1b1; Neva]
- Fix: @nameformat, @conformat, and @exitformat now respect the FREE
flag. [3.1b1; Neva]
- Fix: Conf file entries with a dbref, like 'master_room #2', should now
work properly. [3.1a8; H'kar]
- Fix: Update should now work on systems with broken local domain resolution.
[3.1a7; Neva, Christy Schulte]
- Fix: Clearing an attribute updates an object's Last Modified timestamp.
[3.1a6]
- Fix: clock() checking for function CPU time should now work on NetBSD.
[3.1a6]
- Fix: Corrected typo in flag_alias for COMMANDS. [2.2; Felan]
- Fix: Startmush still didn't back up module dbs correctly. [3.1b2]
- Fix: Space between dbref and flags was missing for MARKER9. [3.0; Taran]
- Fix: Failed to link with zlib when needed by mysql. [3.0; Michael Broggy]
- Fix: Database structure initialization for modules is done correctly.
[3.1a6; Taran]
- Misc: FREE flag is respected for @conformat and friends. [3.1b1; Neva]
- Misc: The Hide power or Wizard status is always required to avoid
connection detection. [3.1a7]
- Cosmetic: Shout messages include the grammatically correct comma after
"shouts". [2.0; Neva]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
05/19/2002: Beta 2
- Feature: istrue() and isfalse() functions added (basically iter()-style
filterbool() and reverse).
- Feature: speak() function added, for speech-formatting and parsing.
- Feature: If invoked with the -f switch, the Backup script only makes
a flatfile.
- Feature: The Build script accepts options to be passed to the configure
script, enabling simple custom installation.
- Feature: Introduced do_second() module API hook. Useful for modules which
must update regularly.
- Fix: The game/data directory is once again included in the
distribution. [3.1; Neva]
- Fix: Compilation error when no modules were enabled. [3.1; d@vid.org.uk]
- Fix: Potential crash if netmush or dbconvert is invoked without
a slash in the name. [3.1]
- Fix: dbconvert should print usage message instead of crashing if
invoked without a gdbm file. [3.1a9]
- Fix: Numeric hashtable entries could have different struct layout
than string entries, causing hashtable functions not to work. [3.1b1]
- Fix: Objects with dbrefs higher than mudstate.attr_next were not
written to the database. [3.1; Christy Schulte]
- Fix: Backup invoked tar with wrong options. [3.1a10]
- Fix: *player changes broke *dbref, as in num(*#1). [3.1b1]
- Fix: Memory leak in let(). [3.1b1]
- Fix: If a non-null attribute default is available, the server-supplied
default string should never be used. [3.1a2]
- Fix: log_perror() cleared errno before trying to log the error. [2.0]
- Fix: Startmush could remove module databases due to inconsistent
glob handling in some shells. [3.1a9; Christy Schulte]
- Fix: Fixed typo in module call to db_write(). [3.1b1]
- Misc: Avoid scanning the entire help table when asked for a
nonexistent, non-wildcard entry. [2.0]
- Misc: Reduced stack memory usage of functions such as shuffle(),
with a rewrite of helper function list2arr().
- Cosmetic: Shout messages include the grammatically correct comma after
"says". [2.0; Neva]

[2.0; RMG]
- Fix: parse() checks function invocations in a manner identical to iter().
[2.0; Myrrdin]
- Fix: Slaves are reaped with waitpid() so zombies are not created by
@restart (may be Linux-specific problem). [MUX; Myrddin]
- Fix: Signals are unblocked at startup, allowing SIGUSR1 to be invoked
for later instances in restarts. [MUX; RMG]
- Misc: The unused parentable_control_lock parameter has been removed.
- Misc: A variety of compiler warnings related to uninitialized variables,

- Feature: lstructures() and linstances() functions added.
- Fix: @dbclean has been rewritten, and now works (and is more efficient).
[3.0; Thomas Wouters]
- Fix: Where pow() is used in conjunction with htonl(), it is cast to
unsigned int. This fixes a compilation issue with Linux and gcc -O.
[3.0a5; stile]
- Fix: Some structures are no longer allocated as lbufs, but are explicitly
malloc'd in a type-specific manner. [2.0]
- Fix: Forwardlists are loaded before startups are run. [2.0]
- Fix: @mail/fwd now explicitly checks to see if a mail message is in
progress. [MUX; Morris]
- Fix: INFO now works when used by logged-in players. [3.0a2; RMG]
- Fix: trunc() truncates rather than rounds. [MUX; Keran]
- Fix: Dumping and shutdown check to make sure the game is not already
dumping. [2.0; Geoff Gerrietts]

[RMG]
- Misc: The GDBM bucket cache size has been reduced to 1 bucket.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Misc: chown_anything also lets you @chown to anyone.
- Misc: Doubled the size of the function and user function hash tables.
- Misc: Got rid of the SIDE_EFFECT_FUNCTIONS compile-time option, since
you can simply function_access the side-effect functions to 'disabled'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/5/99: Beta 7
- Feature: New conf parameter stripped_flags determines what flags are
stripped when an object is subject to a @chown, @chownall, or @clone.
These commands now take a /nostrip switch, which negates stripping.
For consistency, @clone/inherit no longer preserves IMMORTAL (only
INHERIT).
- Fix: Side-effect function prototypes exist again. [3.0b6; Tina Verras]
- Fix: You can no longer set the cost of non-things in @clone (consistent
with other object-creation commands). [MUX]
- Fix: The value of @clone'd objects is now correctly set. (Previously,
all cloned objects had a value, i.e. Pennies, of zero.) [MUX]
- Misc: All @clone switches except /inventory and /location can be combined.
- Misc: @clone/preserve can be used by anyone, but you must control the
original object's owner.
- Misc: ansi() compacts the ANSI codes, and makes a better attempt against
avoiding bleeding.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/7/99: Beta 8
- Feature: @cron implemented, providing Unix-style cron scheduling.
@daily has been re-implemented using the @cron facility.
- Feature: Functions that take output delimiters can now take a null
output delimiter, signified by the token '@@'.
- Feature: The examine command has a new switch, /pairs. This shows
paren/bracket/braces-matching in ANSI color. (Based on the engine
from ChaoticMUX's parenmatch() function.)
- Feature: New conf directive raw_helpfile allows the addition of
non-evaluated helpfiles.
- Feature: Added the MUSH Manual to the distribution in helpfile format.
(Thanks to Alierak and sTiLe.)
- Feature: delete(), mid(), left() and right() no longer strip ANSI
characters.
- Fix: SQL queries error out properly when support is not compiled in.
[3.0a13; Blane Dabney]
- Fix: @clone/nostrip can be combined with all other @clone switches.
[3.0b7]
- Fix: The 2.2 database conversion converts the Builder flag to the
Builder power, rather than just discarding the flag. [3.0a4]
- Fix: Comtitles are terminated with ANSI_NORMAL where appropriate.
[MUX; Brazil]
- Fix: sortby() no longer ignores its output delimiter. [2.2]
- Fix: translate() can handle compacted ANSI strings generated by
ansi(). [3.0b7]
- Fix: hastype() can be used on an object, even if you can't examine it,
since you can type() anything. [MUX; stile]
- Misc: Typecast time_t to int when using it in conjunction with printf().
- Did a diff between ChaoticMUX-S3, and TinyMUX 1.6p0. Derived a suite
of bugfixes and some enhancements, as follows:
- Feature: @function/noeval defines a user-defined function whose
arguments are not pre-evaluated.
- Feature: An ANSI underline code, %xu, has been added.
- Feature: log() can take an optional second argument, the base.
- Fix: elock() obeys the pass_locks power. [MUX]
- Fix: Pool headers are 64-bit aligned. [2.0]
- Fix: Calls to site_check() check the return value ANDed against the flag.
[2.0]
- Fix: The overflow buffer for functions is terminated properly. [MUX]
- Fix: Missed some places where see_hidden should apply. [3.0a14]
- Fix: OUTPUTSUFFIX without OUTPUTPREFIX works. [2.0]
- Misc: All calls to abort() log a message. [2.0]
- Misc: mail() and mailfrom() check arg ranges in the standard way. [MUX]
- Misc: ANSI defines are used rather than embedding raw codes. [MUX]
- Misc: No spurious extra args to raw_broadcast() calls. [MUX]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/8/99: Beta 9
- Feature: @destroy/instant instantly destroys an object, rather than
queueing it for recycling. The new conf option instant_recycle
controls whether or not objects set Destroy_OK (or which have
Destroy_OK owners) get instantly destroyed; it defaults to 'yes'.
- Feature: @list options now shows just boolean parameters, and the
display format is now much neater (and in alphabetical order of
the actual parameter names). A new command, @list params, shows
a variety of other conf options.
- Fix: left() works properly again. [3.0b8; Jeff Hulsey]
- Fix: format_exits conf parameter is recognized again. [3.0]
- Misc: Unused conf parameters eliminated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/8/99: Beta 10
- Feature: edit() can now edit ANSI strings. @edit also handles ANSI
in a better manner.
- Fix: Conf parameter unowned_safe is back. (Oops.) [3.0b9; utoxin]
- Fix: Failed movement through a global or zone exit results in
"You can't go that way." rather than no output.
[2.0/2.2; Markleford Friedman]
- Fix: Fixed an obscure bug where, in the match confidence calculation,
the "you can pass this lock" check always succeeded. [MUX]
- Fix: A variety of inappropriate malloc()s have been dealt with,
and XMALLOC/XFREE are now used by the mail code. [2.0/MUX]
- Misc: sql_init()'s shutdown of a SQL socket calls sql_shutdown()
instead of doing just doing it.
- Misc: A variety of compiler warnings have been dealt with.
- Went through the TinyMUSH 2.2 changes log again, looking for code
that was not incorporated. Resulted in the following changes:
- Fix: Never show HTML to non-HTML players. [MUX]
- Fix: A variety of buffer overflow issues have been dealt with. [2.0]
- Fix: Null pointer dereference in con/exit formatting. [2.2]
