I am pleased to release version 3.81 of MUSHclient. See the release notes for more details.
Improvements
- New SendPkt script function.
- Improvements to the Lua "bit" library.
- Some minor fixes to obscure Lua-related problems.
- New experimental spell-checker, designed to eventually replace the proprietary one currently in use. Please read the forum posting New experimental spell-checker for more details about it.
- Various script enhancements, principally to support the new spell checker:
- New script function: Metaphone - calculates a "sound-alike" string for use with spell-checkers.
- New progress bar feature - for use with the spell-checker when it loads its dictionaries, and any other lengthy operation.
- Script interface to the spell-checker dialog box, for use by the spell checker.
- Some new Lua utilities for use with the spell-checker.

MUSHclient version 3.80 upgraded the Lua script engine from Lua 5.0.2 to 5.1.1. If you are upgrading to this version from an earlier version than 3.80, you should read Version 3.80 released - with Lua 5.1 script engine - this post has recommendations about what is required if you use Lua scripting or Lua plugins.
