Unix下的MUD客户端程序

Version 0.51.93 (August 21, 1999)
- Added support for ZMUD-like speedwalk for diagonal directions as
  suggested by <[e-mail]>. To use it, prefix
  the speedwalk path with a . (e.g. .jkneeeud). You can
  do that even if you have speedwalk turned off.

- # followed by a number repeat the command that many times
  (e.g. #20 buy bread; put bread bag). Code submitted by
  Steve Copous <[e-mail]>

- Fix for script Mudname.script loading problems

- Rewrote the expansion of aliases, ; etc. so there is no more
  duplicated code, and all that expansion happens inside the
  Interpreter object

- expand_semicolon option (default off) allows use of ; on the
  command line

- Control-W can be used to delete the word to the left of the
  cursor on the current line

- #writeconfig command lets you save the configuration, even
  if the file is read only (beware). Without parameters, it
  writes to wherever it was loaded from. With parameters,
  it writes to the file specified

- Xterm support enabled. It looks like terminfo etc. is of no
  help here. For example, kcuu1 is supposed to be the arrow-up
  key. But xterm sends something different when you press
  arrow up, namely the move cursor up key! Argh. So, this means
  hardcoding the strings actually sent into the application.

- Moved some common script path searching stuff into the
  EmbeddedInterpreter class

- Alt-I shows currently defined actions/substitutes  
  

Version 0.51.90 (August 3, 1999)
- Python support contributed by Patrick Horner

Version 0.51.05 (May 22, 1999)
- Fix for setupterm problems

Version 0.51.04 (May 1, 1999)
- Fix for MessageWindows: they stopped scrolling in 0.51.xx

Version 0.51.03 (April 6, 1999)
- CSI defaults to the two-byte sequence now
- #save command saves scrollback (#save -c to save in color)
- Changed F10-F12 keys to use raw Linux console keycodes (what are the
  terminfo codes for those?)
  
Version 0.51.02 (March 17, 1999)
- Two character change: added \b to the end of the lib-pruning regexp
  so it doesn't match partial lib names
  
Version 0.51.01 (March 14, 1999)
- Improved TTY support. Now using scrolling regions to make scrolling
  faster
- Using terminfo to get keycodes for certain keys
- Graphical drawing characters replaced by -+ etc. under non-VC.
  It doesn't look good, but I don't seem to be able to access the
  right characters with terminfo?
- xterm set-title code is sent if TERM is xterm or rxvt
- Improved TTY color changing support (but could be better) - doesn't send
  background color change all the time now

Version 0.51.00 (March 13, 1999)
- Experimental TTY support! It works OK under Linux console, xterms vary:
  some keys are not working. I'll have to use terminfo/termcap I suppose.

Version 0.50.03 (March 13, 1999)
- I've tried to prune the libraries that the ldopt perl function tries
  to link. This means that e.g. gdbm functions are not available
  at runtime. This also fixes compatibility between SUSE and RedHat.

Version 0.50.02 (March 11, 1999)
- Actions fixed - semicolon acts properly there now
- Removed BorderedWindow, this is now handled somewhat differently. Stil
  somewhat ugly, but I can't be bothered to fix up this windowing
  system when it's used for only one application. There may be bugs in
  this, look carefully.
- Fixed 1-byte overflow in Shell
- mudftp.pl fix by Oliver
- New switches for #window: -B (no border) and -c (change background color)
- The #speedwalk command is now gone and has been replaced by #disable
  and #enable. These commands can disable (all) aliases, speedwalk
  actions and macros.
- Warning about file permissions fixed (George Greer)
- Removed "Nothing to delete"
- Autocreation of config file patch submitted by Nathan Strong
- Control-C will now delete the current line but add it to the
  history (in case you are typing a long line and need to type something
  else for a moment)
- Added %o - 01-12 month number
- #clear will clear a window created by #window
- Added prompt.pl - script to show prompt in graphical form in a window
- Added #prompt - sets prompt. This is useful if your MUD does not
  send the GA sequence
- Added #setinput - set the input prompt  
  

Version 0.50.01 (February 15, 1999)
- Runs with perl 5.004 now
- Memory leaked in String plugged

Version 0.50.00 (February 13, 1999)
- Embedded Perl support! #run, #eval, #load commands. This extends mcl in
  such an extreme way that a bigger jump in version number is deserved :)
- Some compile warning fixes by George Greer <[e-mail]>
- SPARC-fix by Oliver Jowett
- 'commandcharacter' option by Cath Allen
- EOR recognition by Cath Allen
- Values out of range are reported correctly
- Setting historywinsize to 0 now works correctly
- regexps now use Perl code, much nicer. Substitutions now work :)
- Just like Diku etc., you can have one-character alias names like % which
  do not require you to put a space after them
- Sticky status line contributed by Nathan <[e-mail]>
- Multiinput line - expands to several lines as you type. Optional.
- Copyover option allows restarting of mcl while keeping connection to the
  MUD (doesn't work well with compression/mudftp)

Version 0.49.99 (February 8, 1999)
- Internal release

Version 0.42.05 (Novemeber 1 1998)
- Oliver Jowett's compression code
- Fix for speedwalk strings like s5nn
- Now sends \r\n as end of line
- Fix for actions not saving
- Fix for actions not stripping color codes correctly
- MUD-specific actions and aliases got moved into global ones

Version 0.42.04 (March 2 1998)
- Overflow bug in clear_line fixed
- I have realized that I will not get any serious work done on mcl
  any time soon, so I am releasing it as-is for now.
  
Version 0.42 (January 24 1998)
- Some rearrangement of classes, slight renaming of functions to java-style
- Read-only shell windows executable with #exec (many options)
- Triggers, based on regular expressions. Sub expressions are supported,
  so you can use any part of the matched string for any purpose
- Substitutes, also based on regular expressions. This also allows gagging
  of lines
- You can connect directly to a MUD without adding it to the databased by
  supplying hostname/port on the command line
- All commands are now queued through a central interpreter that is independant
  of any session. This allows for usage of # commands in aliases as well
  as aliases that use other aliases
- Borg module: achieve unity with fellow mcl users
- mudFTP version 1 support has been removed. Version 2 should be handled
  using #exec to execute java (example included)
- The timeout-to-connect indicator is now a cute graphical bar instead
- Certain %variables can be used in aliases that conver to e.g. hostname
  of remote MUD, current time/date etc.
- #window command creates a window on the screen (that automatically hides
  itself after some time). #print command pops up and prints to that window.
  The window can optionally be connected to a log file. Together with regular
  expression you can thus log e.g. tells to a window and/or a file and
  view the last tells you've received with one keypress.
- Alt-/ can be used to search through scrollback. It's not quite perfect.

Version 0.41.9 (May 1997)

Version 0.41.3 (April 3 1997)
- A timer/clock window (toggleable with Control-T) - initial version

Version 0.41.1 (version 0.42 will be special <G>)

  Return will connect to it

Version 0.41
- Tabs are displayed (set tabsize)
- Beeps from the MUD are handled (set mudbeep)
- When scrolling, blank spaces were zeroed rather than filled with spaces
  due to some unfortunate arithmethics; this prevented cut&paste

  away.

- Scrollback allocate dynamically and can be overidden with command line
  parameter
