I am pleased to release version 4.08 of MUSHclient. See the release notes for more details.
Improvements
- Improvements to the way errors are reported in the script file - a few lines surrounding the lines in error are now displayed in the output window.
- Fixed the way that ImportXML imports timers, so they don't fire immediately.
- Upgraded the PCRE (regular expression) library from 7.0 to 7.2-RC2 - this fixes a problem with MUSHclient crashing with very long lists of alternatives. However PCRE 7.2-RC2 is not an official release. Please advise if you have any problems with regular expression matching.
- A few other script and documentation enhancements.
Warning about Lua 5.1 upgrade
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.
Warning about upgrading from versions prior to 3.21
MUSHclient version 3.85 (onwards) no longer reads the old "binary" world files produced by versions prior to 3.21. For more information about this please read the forum post Versions 3.85 onwards no longer support world files created prior to version 3.21 - this post has recommendations about how to upgrade your world files if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 3.21.
Note that version 3.21 was released about 5 years ago, so people who have recently installed MUSHclient should not have any problems.
