Unix下的MUD客户端程序

Version 0.52.97 (May 8)
- Speedwalk now *really* fixed...

Version 0.52.95 (April 19)
- Incomplete lines received in a packet will now trigger anyway. This allows
  triggering on prompts on MUDs that don't send telnet GA.
- Speedwalk fixed

Version 0.52.94 (February 24)
- Last command in a multicommand string was not expanded properly
- Respond with \e[40;13R only when getting \e[6n, not \e[6<anything>!

Version 0.52.93 (February 19)
- Fix for Alt-H when Chat is not active suggested by "Beetleman".
- Ignoring 0240 in Chat (soft newline sent by MudMaster?)
- Fix for ^W not deleting everything
- Guard against prompts that are too long
- vars.pl has a new @{ } features which evaluates everything inside
  as Perl
- Fixed a bug in the speedwalk handling -- an extra newline was
  sent after any speedwalk
- Fixed a bug in color parsing of incoming chats. Two consecutive
  color escapes would not get parsed correctly
- New module: triggers.pl (in contrib/). Contributed by Ivan Nejgebauer
  <[e-mail]>, it provides triggers that can be individually
  disabled
- Autcompletion: an expansion to the complete.pl package that automatically
  adds words to the complete list when they arrive from the MUD.
- Alt-S toggles both status windows now
- Bytes sent to the MUD are shown again in the lower stat window
- Fixed network state and connect time after a copyover
- Control-C will not add empty lines to history
- Control-K will delete until EOL like Control-J
- #number code modified so it works better in the middle of an alias
- Maximum scrollback length increased to 250000
- log.pl changed to exec gzip. Saves one process.
- Don't send newline when connectiong to mudmaster clients
- Don't expect newline when connected to by mudmaster clients
- When receiving \e[6n, mcl responsds with \e[40;13R (cursor position).
  This allows for ANSI autodetection (patch by Chris Litchfield).

Version 0.52.92 (November 2)
- Compatiblity cleanup: added some header files etc.
- Fixed gagging of lines with GAG -- gagging the last line before
  a prompt would eat off the first characters of the prompt

Version 0.52.91 (October 8)
- Now includes Rodrigo's autoconf script

- Added color parsing of incoming chat data

- Added "vars.pl" module that allows expansion of variables
  (try executing "set foo 4"2 then "say foo is $foo"). That
  module also contains a couple of color variables.

- The send hooks goes off also before parsing #commands.

Version 0.52.90 (October 3)
- Added save_history option. It saves your input line history
  to ~/.mcl/history

- Implemented #chat.ping command and response to that

- Implemented the ChatList window (use Alt-H to call it up)

- Implemented #chat.request and #chat.peek

- Implemented #chat.group (chat to a group) and #chat.setgroup (add/remove
  people from a group)

- Implemented #chat.ip

- Random header file cleanup, reduced dependancies

- Input line history shows when you executed a given command

- Partly implemented #chat.snoop, the incoming text is not yet
  parsed

- Implemented handling of the Name Change packet

- Implemented sending of zChat stamp

- Cleanup of Selection, don't use silly callback

- sanitize() eats whitespace at either end of the message

- Inactive time was negative

- Fixed some EmbeddedInterpreter problems with output hook when using
  the chat system.



Version 0.52.82 (October 1)
- Fixed StackedInterpreter, it was slightly broken
- Fixed message shown when connecting to remote IP
- Fix for config file loading. sscanf sucks.


Version 0.52.81
- nodefaults option. If set to 1, only options not equal
  to their default value are saved

- String options can now have an empty value

- #chat.flags command should work. doc/Chat updated with
  flag list

- Major bug in the String class fixed
  
Version 0.52.80 (September 26)
- First version of the zChat/MudMaster compatible peer-to-peer
  chat protocol! Read doc/Chat carefully for all the details.
  Not all things are implemented right now.

- StackedInterpreter: if you specify more than one interpreter
  on the plugins line, they will become stacked! The
  first interpreter listed gets its function called first,
  then the second one gets called chained with the output
  of the first, etc.

- Rewrite of socket code. Session now inherits from Socket
  and contains no socket-specific code. The Socket class
  can be reused elsewhere (namely the forthcoming chat
  code).

- Lines starting with \ are sent as-is (except the leading
  \ character of course). This can be set in the configuration
  file using the escapecharacter option.
  
- Made the "plugin not found" error message more verbose

- Added -lm to the Python .so file

- Command character variable in embedded interpreter is now
  set from within mcl

- Fixed problem with init_acs() (shouldn't have used a private
  function in the first place)

- Added -lpthread back to the main executable. Python
  shared object otherwise caused strange problems

- Socket rewrite fixed the long-standing problem of connect
  expecting the READ rather than WRITE set to be available
  on sucessfull connection

- #Window takes negative x/y values, letting it put the window
  that many characters to the left from the right border

- mcl now checks /usr/local/lib/mcl and /usr/lib/mcl after
  checking ~/.mcl for scripts. This allows a default RPM
  installation to have all the Perl scripts working. The
  ~/.mcl directory overrides the other directories, so
  people who do move things to ~/.mcl will have no problems.
  Autoloaded scripts do not work currently for Python!

- The new buffered architecture made it necessary to add
  a #send_unbuffered command for use within the embedded
  scripts (specifically, ccancel.pl).

- The -x option allows to specify commands to be executed
  when mcl is running (e.g. mcl -x '#chat.call foobar').

- Replaced # with the actual command character in a lot
  of places

Version 0.52.01 (September 20)
- New mcl hook: connect. Runs when you connect to a MUD.

- Changed ACS_ characters for filled/empty box around so
  something is actually shown again when connecting to a MUD

- New module, log.pl. Logs input/output through gzip.
 
- Python fixes from Juha Pohjalainen <[e-mail]>: 
  init.py: just executes load_configuration only once (it was executed
    once for every module before
    added support for save_configuration in done_hook
  config.py: global variable 'loading' now tells when in initial loading 
    is executed added newline to config_file.write clause, because 
    Pythons  write does not automatically add newlines

- New DynaComplete.py module also submitted by Juha

- All Config file options should now be case insensitive

- New format for MUD definition: MUD <mudname> { ... } where
  .. can contain keywords like "Host <hostname> <port>", "Commands <commands>"
  etc. The old format is still recognized but will be at some point completely
  gone.

- MUD Inheritance: each MUD can now have a "parent" specified. After
  checking aliases, actions, substitutes and macros in the current MUD,
  the ones in the parent are checked. This means you can e.g. collect
  common aliases for a MUD in one pseudo-MUD, and let the three MUD
  sessions you have for each character on the MUD inherit from that MUD.
  Just use "Inherits <MUD NAME>" in the MUD { } definition

- Both Action and Alias list now show all active aliases, not only global
  ones. First actions/aliases local to this MUD are shown, then the
  ones inherited from the MUD above etc. Also added a bit of color.

- New plugin architecture: mcl will look for plugins specified by
  the plugins= option (default: perl) in the directories
  /usr/local/lib/mcl/plugins/ and then ~/.mcl/plugins/. A plugin
  can currently only contain an Interpreter object (e.g. Python
  or Perl).

- Alt-M shows macros (similar to action/alias lists)

- Added #macro command to add/remove/change macros while mcl is running

Version 0.52.00 (August 28, 1999)
- Pressing enter on an empty MUD or alias selection list would
  segfault.
- Ignoring SIGPIPE
- Added another status window that displays number of bytes
  sent/received
- Control-U deletes until the beginning of a line  

Version 0.51.98 (August 25, 1999)
- Fix for MUD connections that don't have any connection strigs defined. mcl
  would send a newline to those MUDs.

Version 0.51.97 (August 24, 1999)
- Fixed f11 and f12
- Aliases are expanded before speedwalk

Version 0.51.94 (August 22, 1999)
- Revert color code changes (e.g. 0xEA for change color) to
  avoid breaking backwards compatibility
