Changes in version 3.2.1 ------------------------ - Bug fixed: $world->hookenabled now works correctly when checking status of hook 0. - Bug fixed: KCWin's are again scrolled when text is added to them. - Bug fixed: if called with a command-line argument that is not the name of a saved world, KildClient tries to interpret that as a hostname, instead of crashing. - Bug fixed: it is now possible to copy text via the output area context menu again. Changes in version 3.2.0 ------------------------ - Bug fixed: triggers and aliases now work with non-ASCII characters (accented letters, other alphabets and writing systems). - Handling of non-ASCII characters (accented letters, other alphabets and writing systems) in Perl works much better now, as strings are properly marked as being in UTF-8. For example, $world->echonl(length("á")) now prints "1" instead of "2". - It is not necessary to specify a command to run a browser, the default browser (as selected by the system's mime database) is now used. - It is now possible (but not recommended) to select another character to be used to run Perl commands instead of the default '/'. Changes in version 3.1.0 ------------------------ - A list of available languages for spell checking is now displayed instead of having to manually enter the language code. - It's now possible to set a default file name for log files using the Preferences>Edit default world menu. - Added the $world->getinput() and $world->setinput() functions set retrieve and set the current input in the command entry box. - Bug fixed: the list of recent commands is now displayed again when the "down" button next to the input box is clicked. - Bug fixed: OnServerData hooks can now be exported just like other hooks. - Bug fixed: KildClient no longer crashes when an error happens during TLS negotiation. - Some strings that weren't displayed in the local language under Windows are now displayed properly translated. - The deprecated functions getwindowsize(), minimize() and path() have been removed. If your code still uses them, they'll have to be replaced by $window->getsize(), $window->minimize() and $world->path(), respectively. Changes in version 3.0.1 ------------------------ - Bug fixed: scroll to end working again with GTK+ 3.13 and later. Changes in version 3.0.0 ------------------------ - The code responsible for interpreting the lines received from the server and displaying them has been rewritten to take advantage of newer processors by doing things in parallel. That should make the program more responsive, especially when there are many triggers. - KildClient has been upgraded to use GTK+ 3. This should not affect your user experience, but plugins that use gtk2-perl for graphical interface need to be upgraded to use gtk3-perl. In most cases, just replacing s/Gtk2/Gtk3/ should be sufficient. But if the plugin used deprecated functions, bigger changes might be necessary. See the following link for more information on upgrading: https://metacpan.org/release/Gtk3/ - KildClient now supports the GMCP (also called ATCP2) and MSDP protocols for data transfer between the server and client. - KildClient now supports HTTP proxies. - Timers can now have sub-second intervals. The syntax is the same, but you can now use an interval of "0.5" to run the timer twice per second. - New functions have been created to enable/disable triggers, aliases, macros, timers and hooks without printing the "Trigger modified" message (or similar): silentenatrigger/silentdistrigger and similarly for the other objects. - New function $world->cmdseparator() to set and retrieve the command separator. - When opening log files, parent directories are created as necessary automatically. - New function getclientname() returns the name of the client ("KildClient"). - Bug fixed: KildClient no longer crashes when importing triggers or aliases from the World Selector. - Bug fixed: Some telnet commands (used to configure protocols for communication between KildClient and the server) could be ignored if immediately following a new line. Changes in version 2.11.1 ------------------------- - Bug fixed: the SSL handshake locked the interface. And KildClient would wait forever if it never completed, requiring a forced close. - Fixed bug with some 256-color ansi sequences. - Fixed a bug that caused the program to freeze when deleting a trigger or alias of a Word edited from the World Selector. - If a plugin fails to load, any objects created by that plugin are removed. - Fixed bug that prevented copying text from the scroll window. - Fixed crash that happened if you had a rewriter trigger without an action. (Thanks to dmzkrsk.) Changes in version 2.11.0 ------------------------- - Added an option to disable up/down for navigating the command history (Alt+up/down will remain working.) This allows the use of input methods that use the arrow keys as part of the input process. - Included the 'channels' plugin by Jack Mudge. It allows for capturing all lines of text matching a regexp to a separate window. - The path() function has been changed, it should now be called as $world->path(). It now respects the delay and grouping settings in the Preferences dialog instead of sending all commands at once. - The Windows version now supports SSL.xb - Bug fixed: the clear button in KCWin windows is now working. - Bug fixed: under some systems (PC-BSD, for example) connections do not always fail anymore. Changes in version 2.10.0 ------------------------- - Added German translation, courtesy of René Küttner. - It is now possible to use the matched substrings captured with () groups in triggers even if the action is not a Perl command: use $1 to represent the first matched substring, $2 for the second, and so on. - It is now possible to split the screen so that you can see simultaneously the newly received text and some other part of the scrollback buffer. - New wrapping options added: it is possible to indent wrapped lines, and lines can be wrapped after a specific number of characters, if the window is wider. - It is now possible to disable the tooltips with the time when a line was received. - You can now pass a host name in the command line to connect to a World. If you need to specify a port other than 4000, use hostname:port. Also, telnet:// URLs are recognized. - Added an option to enable TCP Keep Alive. (Based on patch by Tasci Synx.) - Fixed bug that prevented the World Editor to be opened again if it was closed by pressing ESC or using the X button of the title bar. - Fixed bug: when the World Editor is cancelled, changes you made are reverted if it's opened again. - Fixed a bug that caused the program to freeze when editing or creating a new World from the World Selector. - Fixed bug: worlds with only one auto-logon character now also have an option to disable auto-logon in the World Selector. - Fixed bug that caused on the OnCloseConnected hook to be executed when it shouldn't (before a connection is really established, or when the server closes the connection). - Fixed a bug that reported an error when loading plugins even when there was no error. Changes in version 2.9.0 ------------------------ - The Command History dialog now displays the most recent commands in the top. - If you type a command that you had typed before, now only one copy is stored in the command history. - It is now possible to customize what's displayed in the tab for each World, including for example the name of the character logged in. - When you start logging, you can now include lines already present in the scrollback buffer. - Added the $world->interpret() function, that takes its argument and interprets it as if it were typed in the input box. - Added the $world->expandalias() function to expand aliases in a given string. - When defining the file name for logging, it is possible to use the escapes %Kw and %Kc to represent the world's name and auto-logon character name, respectively. - Added the $world->sendlines() function to easily send several lines with a delay between each line (or group of lines). - Added the $world->mlsend() function to emulate the Multi-line send feature (and all its possibilities) from within a perl script. - The $world->sendfile() function now returns true for success (the file was sent) and false if the file could not be opened. - Added the $world->getline() function to retrieve a line from the scrollback buffer. - In the "Edit Default World" dialog, some settings related to logging that did not make sense in that context are not displayed anymore. - Bug fixed: using the '>' character in a trigger or alias does not cause errors anymore. - Bug fixed: warnings about editing a plugin's object (triggers, aliases, etc.) now only show when the object edited really is from a plugin. - Bug fixed: if you change a world's name, the tab now changes to the new name immediately. - Bug fixed: you can define macros containing keys such as the arrows and Page Up/Page Down. Care is recommended when doing that, though, because it can conflict with built-in commands for moving the cursor, for example. Changes in version 2.8.1 ------------------------ - Added Swedish translation, thanks to Niklas Grahn. - Backspace characters received from the MUD work, erasing the previous char. Changes in version 2.8.0 ------------------------ - SOCKS proxy support has been added. - The tab bar can be hidden if there is only open open tab. - If all the text you type is displayed as black dots (like it was a password), you can now set an option to prevent that and see the text in the input box. (This is necessary with a few servers that do the command echoing themselves.) - In the multi-line input box, Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Enter now allow you to enter a new line of text, instead of sending the contents of the box. - The $world->deltrigger() function (and the other ones for aliases, macros, etc.) now return the number of objects deleted. - Bug fixed: If you edit the list of auto-logon characters (reordering them or deleting entries), you could reconnect with the wrong character or get a crash. Now you always reconnect with the same character, even if the order is changed; if that auto-logon character is deleted, then auto-logon is disabled. Changes in version 2.7.0 ------------------------ - Added a $window variable pointing to the main window. The minimize() function is now $window->minimize() and getwindowsize() is now $window->getsize(). Because of this change, some of your scripts may need to be rewritten. - The name of the currently open world is displayed in the title bar. - Added the $window->settitle() function to set the title of the window. - Added the $window->seturgencyhint() function to force a request of attention to that window. - Fixed bug that caused a crash on startup in Ubuntu 8.04 (and possibly other systems). - Fixed bug that prevented a plugin from using its permanent variables during initialization of the plugin. - OnGetFocus and OnLoseFocus triggers are now run after the setting of the window title and urgency hint, so the triggers can override the default behavior. - Added functions to get a trigger/alias/macro/timer/hook's number based on its name. - The URL in the about box can now be clicked to go to KildClient's web site. - Added the $world->getlogfile() function to retrieve the name of the file to which the output is logged. Changes in version 2.6.0 ------------------------ - There is now a close button in the tabs for quickly closing the world. - It is now possible to reorder the Worlds by dragging the tabs to the new desired position. - When trying to connect to a Mud server, KildClient does not freeze anymore (it tries connecting asynchronously). (Includes patch by Zephaniah E. Hull.) - It is now easier to set up session logging, as logging can be configured and started/stopped from the World Editor. It is even possible to configure logging to automatically start from there. - Added the option not to store the command history between sections. (Patch by Zephaniah E. Hull.) - The keypad keys can now be used in the input box and in dialogs. (Patch by Zephaniah E. Hull.) - You can now alternate worlds with Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab. - Some bugs in the Windows version regarding network handling were fixed. - Added the $world->ispermanent function to check if a variable is permanent. - Added the $world->getcharacter function to return the name of the character used to auto log in to the mud. - Changed the delimiter for pattern matching in triggers and alias substitution (from <> to ASCII character 5, ^E). This should allow '>' (used in ->, for example) to be used in an easier way in aliases. - Bug fixed: When you open two worls in the Windows version and close one, or when you try to connect to another one in the same session, the program does not crash anymore. - Fixed a bug that sometime caused KildClient under Windows to crash when switching to another world. - Bug fixed: If a timer has an interval or repeat count that is a large number, the output of $world->listtimer is now properly aligned. - Bug fixed: When reading XML files (Worlds or triggers/etc to import), KildClient recognizes the files properly even if they do not end in a newline. Changes in version 2.5.1 ------------------------ - The last openened world is not selected and displayed on-screen when the World Selector dialog is shown. - The default strings for calling a browser and playing a sound now use quotes around the argument. - The tooltip with information about the line is not shown anymore at the same time as the "Disconnected" message box, so it does not cover the buttons in that dialog. - Bug fixed: If the kildclient.cfg file does not exist (which happens usually in the first run), KildClient does not crash anymore. - Bug fixed: In single-line input mode, pressing Shift+Enter or CTRL+Enter now sends the line to the mud. - Bug fixed: KildClient does not crash anymore if you try to connect to a world with invalid XML. Changes in version 2.5.0 ------------------------ - You can now change the color and style of a line that matched a trigger (also known as highlighting). - When new text is received, the window now flashes to draw your attention to it (if your window manager supports the "Urgent" hint). This feature can be disabled, however. - You can now specify another directory to store configuration files and saved Worlds, instead of the default ~/.kildclient (Linux) or %APPDATA%\kildclient (Windows), with the -c command-line option. - You can now manipulate, from a given World, another World. You get a pointer to it with the getworld() function, and then call functions on that pointer. - Added a new hook: OnCloseDisconnected. This hook is executed when you forcedly close a world while it is disconnected (via the menu World->Close, $world->close() or by quitting the program). So you can put "quit" in there to always exit the mud nicely. - Added the SILENT attribute to worlds: if $world->{SILENT} is set to a true value, some messages (such as "Trigger added", "Alias enabled", etc.) are not printed. - Fixed bug that closed the client if the Help button was pressed in the World Editor for a plugin that does not define a help function. - Bug fixed: now you can only open the Test Triggers dialog if you are connected to the world. - Fixed a bug that cause NAWS information to be sent with each command if the server supports it. Changes in version 2.4.1 ------------------------ - Fixed bug that caused crashes on startup with messages like this: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x081903c0 *** Aborted - Bug fixed: now if two triggers match the same line, each capturing different parts of the line with () in the regular expression, the commands of each trigger will be run with the correct captured parts in the $_[X] variables. Changes in version 2.4.0 ------------------------ - When using the multi-line input box, the up and down arrows behave now more naturally: they either retrieve the previous/next command or move the cursor. They move the cursor if you have already moved the cursor in order to edit the line, and move through commands otherwise. - You can now type the start of a command and use Alt+Shift+Up and down arrows to recall previously entered commands. - The keyboard shortcuts for moving through worlds were wrong: now they behave correctly: ctrl+page_down for next world and ctrl+page_up for previous world. - Added spell checking support to check what you type in real-time. - Pressing ENTER when in the "host" or "port" fields of the World Selector now works. - Pressing ENTER when in the search box activates Find Next, and pressing ESC closes the search bar. - If you try to exit the program when there are open worlds, a confirmation dialog is now displayed. - When using the Multi-Line Send feature, you can now choose not to close the dialog after sending. - A new function, $world->sendfile() has been added, that allows the contents of a file to be sent to the mud. - Two new functions, $world->getconntime() and $world->getidletime() retrieve the time connected and idle time, respectively. - Now by default MCCP is only activated if the request from the server to enable it comes at most 1 minute after the connection. This is to prevent other users in a MUD from trying to crash your client by sending the special sequence that turns on compression (however, well written MUD servers will not allow players to send such sequences). You can, however, cause MCCP to work if started anytime, or disable it altogether. - When Debug Matches is on, the name of triggers and aliases is now displayed when there is a match. - Fixed a bug that caused a crash (or at least a warning) when the Preferences Dialog was opened a second time. - Fixed a bug that prevented changing the input bar size when editing a World from the World Editor. - Fixed a bug that didn't show the status of the input bar correctly when editing a World. - Fixed a bug that caused a crash when very long lines were received when compression is active. - Fixed a bug that caused a crash when the Manual menu was selected for the second time. - Bug fixed: if compression is disabled during the MUD session, the status bar and Statistics dialog now reflect that fact. - Bug fixed: weird error messages are not shown anymore when a connection is closed cleanly. Changes in version 2.3.0 ------------------------ - Added a feature to search the buffer for a given string. - The input bar can now have more than one line, to ease typing long commands. - Added the "Edit" menu with the usual Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete. - When you have a prompt and some command echoes text in the screen, this text is printed above the command and not after the prompt. - Triggers and aliases can now match case-insensitively. - The play() function has been added. This function allows you to play WAV files. - It is now possible to export triggers, aliases, macros, timers, permanent variables and hooks and import them in other worlds. - The order of permanent variables can now be changed (but this is only for grouping of realted variables, there is no real effect in the world). - The entry boxes in the Multi Line Send dialog are now 80 characters wide. - In the editors for triggers, aliases, etc., you can now select more than one item and delete all selected items at once. - You can display items defined by plugins in the editors for triggers, aliases, etc. The changes, however, are NOT made in the plugin file. - KildClient can now connect with SSL to servers that support Telnet Over SSL, and the MUD session will be encrypted. (Note: this feature can be disabled at compilation time.) - Added the functions $world->triggerenabled(), $world->aliasenabled(), $world->macroenabled(), $world->timerenabled() and $world->hookenabled() to check if a - given trigger, alias, etc. is enabled. These functions can also be used to check for existence of triggers, aliases, etc. - Plugins can define two functions ENABLE and DISABLE to be called when the plugin is to be enabled or disabled, if this action requires some extra functionality that the default actions are not enough. - Fixed a bug that caused macros not to be run when non-English keymaps are used. (Thanks to Sergey Bogdanov.) - Fixed a bug that caused the wrong number of lines that fit in the window to be calculated (and sent to the server if NAWS is being used) under some circunstances. - Fixed a bug that caused a segfault when a recursive alias definition was found. Now alias processing stops after the command line gets too big. - Fixed a bug that caused a segfault after a world was closed. Changes in version 2.2.2 ------------------------ - In colorize(), you can now use && and ^^ to insert a literal & or ^ character. - URLs with username and password for authenticated login are now detected correctly and made clickable. - Removed some big memory leaks that caused KildClient's memory comsumption to get very high in long sessions. - Fixed a security bug that caused a segmentation fault when a very long ANSI sequence was receveived. - Fixed a bug that caused a crash when a connection was broken abruptly (ie, not in a tidy way, generally because of a network failure). - Fixed a bug that caused a segfault in the Windows version when $world->listtrigger was used and there was a trigger without an action. - Fixed a bug that caused text to be displayed in the wrong colors or attributes when non-recognized ANSI sequences were received. Changes in version 2.2.1 ------------------------ - Fixed a bug that caused a crash (segfault) when trying to connect to a World. This bug affects the Windows version. Changes in version 2.2.0 ------------------------ - KildClient has now much more complete support for ANSI codes: if you mud server uses it, KildClient can display text underlined (singly and doubly), in italics, striked through, in reverse video and in hidden mode. The colorize() function has been extended to include codes to turn on these attributes. - KildClient now supports vt100's line-drawing mode, which allows tables to be built with proper characters (and not +, - and |) that look really nice. (But the server must use these characters, naturally.) - KildClient now supports xterm's sequences to access a 256-colour mode instead of only the default 16. The colorize() function has been extended to allow a way to access these additional colors so you can use them in echoed text even if you mud server does not use them. - You can set some world parameters (such as fonts, colors, and others) as defaults, and all new worlds will use these defaults when they are created. - You can now have more than one character for auto-login. When a World has more than one character defined for auto-login, its entry in the World Selector can be expanded to show all characters and you can select which one to use for auto-login. - Added the hability to test triggers and see how they would react to lines sent from the MUD. - The line count in the status bar now displays the total number of lines received for that session, and not the number of lines in the scrollback buffer (which never increases, once the limit is reached). - The Reconnect and Connect to Another menu itens now have shortcuts (CTRL+R and CTRL+SHIFT+R, respectively). - You can now set default values for the command group size and delay between sending command groups (used in the Multi-line Send and Command History dialogs) in the Preferences dialog. - In the editors for triggers, aliases, etc, you can now delect a line by selecting it and pressing the DEL key. - When you connect to a world that uses MCCP, that information is now displayed in the status bar. - Fixed a bug that caused an infinite loop when there was an OnSentCommand hook and two triggers matched and caused commands to be sent. - Fixed a bug that sometimes caused segfaults when "Connect to Another World" was selected. Changes in version 2.1.0 ------------------------ - KildClient now records the time at which each line of the MUD output was received. You can see this time by leaving the mouse over a line of output for a brief time. - A new dialog has been added in which you can review the command history, send commands again, find commands, etc. - The shortcut for moving to the next or previous world is not CTRL+Page Up or CTRL+Page Down, respectively, but the old ones (ALT+Right or Left arrow) still work. There are also new shortcuts: ALT+ where is a number from 1 to 9 will move to the corresponding world. - There's an option in the Advanced section of the World Editor that allows you to skip the confirmation dialog when deleting a trigger, alias, etc. - The Reconnect menu item (and the $world->reconnect function) now work even if you are connected, closing the connection and trying to reconnect. - Added a new hook, OnDisconnect, triggered after you are disconnected from a World. - Fixed a bug that caused a newline to be sent when a pure gag trigger (one without an action) matched. - Fixed a bug that caused you to be disconnected if a very long line was sent by the mud. - Fixed a bug that caused the first line of output not to be correcty displayed in some circunstances. Changes in version 2.0.0 ------------------------ - It is now possible to add, edit, remove, plugins, triggers, aliases, macros, timers, hooks and permanent variables using a Graphical User Interface, accessible from the World Editor. Dealing with Perl is not necessary anymore for that. - Having the World Editor open does not prevent you from using the program anymore. - URLs in the MUD window are now more clearly marked, and pressing the left mouse button opens them automatically. The right mouse button still pops up a menu with an option to open it or copy the URL's address. - Dialog windows (especially the World Selector) now appear in the center of the screen, and not in awkward places. - The output from the MUD is not shown anymore in a vte widget, but in a TextView. This should not bring any big changes, things should still work as before with small modifications. The only thing that has been removed is the hability to have a transparent or image background. - KCWin's now use a TextView also. Gnome2::Vte::Terminal is not necessary anymore. If you used the ->{VTE} widget directly, you will need to make some changes to you plugins. The other functions (especially feed()) still work as before. - Added the $world->movetrigger() function to reorder triggers, and similar functions for aliases, times, macros and hooks. - Fixed a bug that attributed an invalid name to some hooks. - Bug fixed: macro names are displayed in $world->listmacro(). - Bug fixed: attempting to edit an offline World no longer crashes KildClient. - Corrected some problems that caused build failures for some versions of the Perl library. Changes in version 1.3.2 ------------------------ - Bug fixed: KildClient does not segfault anymore when opening a new world for the first time. - Bug fixed: & and < can be used in the command separator and this does not cause the world to stop being recognized anymore. Changes in version 1.3.1 ------------------------ - This version fix a library dependency problem. It brings no new features and bugfixes, but if you had problems building version 1.3.0, try using this version. Changes in version 1.3.0 ------------------------ - You can now specify one or more world names in the command line, and these worlds will be automatically opened. - The status bar is more informative and more configurable: it can display the time connected and/or idle, and the font can be changed. - When you are disconnected from a world, there is another option you can select: Offline, to keep that window open, so that you can review the screen, run Perl commands, etc. - Two new function: $world->reconnect() reconnects to the world that was open, when in offline mode. $world->connectanother() closes the current connection (if one is open) and allows you to select another world to connect to, using the same tab. - The command history is now more functional, behaving similary to the command history used in the Bash shell and other programs using the same library. The most noticeable feature is that if you start typing something and move to another command, the partially typed command is not lost. - More parts of KildClient appear translated (if there is a translation for that language, naturally). - The substitution of aliases can now be evaluated as a Perl statement (using the s//e construct). See the manual for more details. - KildClient now identifies itself using the Telnet TERMINAL TYPE option. - KildClient now supports the Telnet NAWS option to inform the server of the current window size. - A new menu has been added: Debug Matches in the Preferences menu. When this option is selected, information about matched triggers and alises will be output to stderr. - The enaXXX, disXXX and listXXX functions now support several arguments, for example: $world->distrigger(1, 3). - Bug fixed: when sending something to the server that contains the Telnet IAC character, that character is now correctly escaped. - Bug fixed: timers with names now have this name loaded correctly upon loading a world. Changes in version 1.2.0 ------------------------ - The list of save worlds is now displayed sorted alphabetically. - It is now possible to temporarily disable all trigger (or all macros, or all aliases, or all timers) via the Preferences menu. - The command separator can now be configured instead of having to be %;. (But %; is still the default.) - KildClient now supports MCCP (Mud Client Compression Protocol) version 1 and 2. This protocol, supported by several servers, compresses that sent by the server, thus reducing greatly the bandwidth used. And this happens transparently, so the user doesn't need to do anything. - A new trigger mode: rewriter triggers. Rewriter triggers run before normal triggers and can change the received line, so that further triggers work on the changed line. - Hooks work now more similary to triggers, aliases, etc: for each event, you can connect any number of hooks, and later edit them, disable them, etc. This is mainly for the use of plugins that want to define hooks. There have been some changes in the functions that deal with hooks. Also, a new hook has been added: OnSentCommand, run after each sent command. - When a plugin is unloaded (that is, when the world that loaded it is closed, KildClient will call the plugin's UNLOAD function automatically. - New functions, $world->getname(), $world->getmainfont() and $world->getentryfont() that return the name of the world, the main window font, and the command entry font, respectively. - New functions, getversion() and $world->getpluginversion() to return the version of KildClient or of a given plugin. - A new stardard helper plugin, KCWin, meant to be used in other plugins that require a little window for input and output. - A new standard plugin, notes, to associate notes with a world. - A new standard plugin, easypath, makes using paths easier. - A new plugin allows peer to peer chat with other users or KildClient or of other compatible clients that implement the MudMaster or zChat protocols. - Fixed a bug when it was not possible to connect to the first world tried when the program was started. (It used to pop two World Selector dialogs). - Fixed a bug that caused a crash when the user tried to enable or disable a plugin that was not loaded. Changes in version 1.1.2 ------------------------ - Bug fixed: pressing up arrow to retrieve the last command now correctly retrieves it in all cases. - Bug fixed: the anti-flood mechanism now works correctly even with multiple open worlds. - Bug fixed: some worlds were marked with new text and not be unmarked when focused, this does not happen anymore. - Bug fixed: the Preferences dialog now displays correctly when opened. - Bug fixed: avoided duplicate creation of plugin timers when the plugin is loaded from a script file. - Bug fixed: when the MUD sends lot of text at once, KildClient does not lock until all the text has been received, and does not show it all at once anymore. - Bug fixed: $world->setstatus() now correctly works even if the window does not have the focus when the function is called. - Bug fixed: when deleting a world, all its files are deleted, not only the .wrl file. - Bug fixed: when the last world is disconnected, "Connect to another world is selected" and then "Cancel" is clicked, the program now exits correctly instead of keeping an open window. - The check for trigger (done for each received line) and for aliases (done for each typed command) should be faster now, as some optimizations regarding that have been done. Changes in version 1.1.1 ------------------------ - Some changes regarding plugins: * The format for the plugin file has been slightly changed (there is no need to enclose the file in a block now). Plugins will have to be changed, but this change should be very easy to do. * If the plugin cannot be loaded by some reason (syntax error, it requires a non-existent Perl module, etc), loadplugin() will not consider the plugin as loaded anymore. * Similar to the above, if die() is called in a BEGIN block in the plugin file, the loading of the plugin can be aborted. This can be used to test for some condition and abort the loading if that is not met. * A function has been added, $world->requireplugin, that is similar to loadplugin(), but first checks if the plugin is already loaded. If it is, it returns successfully. If not, it tries loading the plugin (silently). If this succeeds, the function returns successfully, if not, it die()'s. This function is useful in plugins that require other plugins, and is meant to be called in a BEGIN block of a plugin that requires another. - Hyperlinks that appear in the MUD window can now be open in a web browser (or other program), or have they URLs copied, by clicking the right mouse button over them. - The keys for moving between worlds are now Alt+Left or Right arrow, because Ctrl+these arrows is used to move between words in the command entry box. - Corrected bug that caused the About dialog to be displayed only in the first time it was requested. Changes in version 1.1.0 ------------------------ - There is now support for plugins, which are Perl scripts that add new functionality to the client. Plugins can define functions, triggers, timers, macros, aliases, etc. - Triggers, aliases, macros and timers can be given names. These names can be used when enabling, disabling and deleting them. Several triggers (or aliases, macros, timers) can have the same name. In this case, a group is formed, and operations for enabling, disabling and deleting them work on all of them at once. - The World Selector dialog now starts with the last open world selected. - There are menu entries for moving between worlds. The shortcuts Ctrl+Left Arrow and Ctrl+Right Arrow can also be used. - Added the getwindowsize() function to return the size of the window, in characters. - Added the $world->commandecho() function to set or get the value of the command echo option of the world. - Added the $world->sendecho() and $world->sendnoecho() functions that behave just as $world->send(), but which never or always, respectively, echo the sent commands. - Added the Esperanto translation. - Some bugs fixed. Changes in version 1.0.0 ------------------------ - This is the first public release.
