Changes since TeenyMUD 2.0beta1: * Added `--with-gdbm' and `--with-bsddbm' configuration options, and cleaned up the Makefiles. Still needs more work, though. * Added INHERIT flag. Objects can now only force their owner if they (the object) is set INHERIT. INHERIT objects also have Wizard privs if their owner does. INHERIT can only be set by Players who own themselves. * Added TIME specification to configuration system. Allows interval settings and the like to be specified in seconds, minutes, hours, or days. * Dump newp_file to players that've never logged in before. * Add the endian check back to configure. * Fix EXTERNAL exit (command) matching. * Added /all, /no_space switches to @EDIT, added $ and ^ tokens. * Changed signal initializations. * Converted variable argument functions over to ANSI. * Added an snprintf() implementation to the compat library, and switched many calls to sprintf() in the server over to it. * Don't try to run queued commands for objects that don't exist. * If a player is set INHERIT, then it's the same as if all of their objects were set INHERIT. * Added <> forced excution command parsing. * Added the %@ substitution, and lots of support goo. * Added ARG_FEXEC special switch. * Added format primitive. * Fixed {} quoting bug. * Fixed massive security hole in controls(). * Players can login using their object number. * Added LIGHT and OPAQUE flags. * Fixed some rather nasty db and memory bugs. * Added support for reading vanilla TinyMUD databases. * Added support for filtering garbage objects. * Fixed a bunch more recycle bugs. * More Makefile changes, especially the switch to lorder/tsort. (readline was toast under ranlib-less SysV without lorder/tsort.) * `Ported' to Ultrix 4.3 (broken strftime(3) in libc). Changes since TeenyMUD 2.0.2beta: * Fixed `give' again. * Finished `porting' to AIX 3.2.5 using XLC. * Changed @group/disolve to @group/delete. * Expanded upgrade support for databases that don't have root rooms. `convertdb' will now ask if you wish to create a new root room. * Fixed a small bug in `examine'. Changes since TeenyMUD 2.0.3beta: * Added /move switch to @copy. * Added global command switches, and implemented global /quiet. Currently, only @halt uses this. Many commands will, shortly. * Added '@' location-of matching to some of the resolver routines. Taught @teleport how to use this. (I.e., @tel me=@them) * Added /clear switch to @savestty. * Added a string array type to the configuration system, and added configuration support for defining illegal player names. (TODO: Make it all dynamic.) * Split command routines out of dbutils.c, to dbcmds.c. * Rewrote display_flags() to do proper sorting. (Changes the output of the examine command a bit.) * Removed an extra strcpy() from check_news(). Heh. * Reorganized some of the low level STTY/@savestty code, and added a /restore switch to @savestty. * Added hfile_autoload conf option, defaulting to true. * Added /reload switches to help and news, for when hfile_autoload is turned off. * Deleted match_regexp(), it was broken and wasn't used. * Money movement rewards ("You found a penny!") found inflation. * Money routines moved to their own file. * Made all configuration strings dynamic. * Money names are configurable. * Added IMMUTABLE attribute flag, settable by Wizards. Makes an attribute visible but unchangable by the object's owner. * Changed the default flags for Hostname/SITE from INTERNAL to IMMUTABLE. Added DB_IMMUTATTRS flag to text db system to automatically upgrade older databases. * Updated the FSF's mailing address everywhere; GPL'd all of the Makefiles, and sample.conf. * Got `pcc' to grok everything again. Everything compiles and almost works on 4.2BSD. Ack. **NEED TO FINISH BEFORE 2.0.4!** * Added KillFail/OKillFail/AKillFail attributes; these work as expected, and on HAVENed locations. * Added upcase/lowcase/swapcase primitives. * Added support for lorder-less machines. * Added 'include' directive to conf file loading. * Added '@wipe' and '@palias' commands. * Changed 'players.c' to 'ptable.c' and reorganized the code. * Fixed some code optimizations which broke on some compilers. * Fixed failed creation logging. * Added ELOQUENT flag for players and things. * Fixed potential crash in @edit. * @owned no longer requires arguments. * Fixed recursive messages in resolv routines. * Fixed byte swapping for call to tcp_authuser in tcpip.c. * Fixed lots of bugs ELOQUENT found. * Fixed a /default bug in @case. * Fixed yet another bug in bad_pnames. * Changed MALLOC_DEBUG to MEMTRACKING, making it more robust but much, much slower. * Changed to include the username in the Hostname attribute. * Non-existant text files now produce an error message. * Added missing shutdown() calls to tcp_authuser(). * Fixed Yet Another tcp_authuser() bug. * Player names may not be changed if global registration is in effect, except by GOD (who no longer has to supply a password). * Added the TRANSPARENT flag and transparent exits.
