2004-07-02 02:34:44  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Version 0.22.

2004-06-14 14:40:41  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Updated the player disconnect/quit code to not crash.
  * As a bonus, quitting returns to the main menu properly now.

2004-06-11 17:50:22  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fix inclusion of builder guide.
  * Update requirement on Scriptix to 0.30-rc1.

2004-06-11 17:31:24  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Updated version to 0.22-rc1.
  * Updated NEWS file with changes for 0.22.

2004-06-11 17:10:36  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Updated the build/install instructions in the admin guide.

2004-06-11 13:55:17  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fix compile of elist.h on GCC 3.4.0.

2004-06-10 18:48:30  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fix the PID file handling to be more intelligent.  AweMUD now
    checks that the PID file is valid instead of just checking if
    it exists.  We use the fcntl advisory locking, so PID files over
    NFS might not work on some systems.  (Does on my workstation.)
    So now, when AweMUD crashes (as if!) or you kill the process,
    you can start it back up again without having to manually
    delete the stale PID file first.

2004-06-10 18:07:39  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Worn items which are removed are actually removed properly now.

2004-06-10 03:59:36  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The Object::is_gettable() function was goofy and didn't just
    return the gettable flag, but also the state of touchable.
    While this is logical in terms of game mechanics, it's retarded
    in terms of API, and is now corrected.  (Fixes #233)
  * The get command now explicitly checks whether an object
    is touchable, since just checking the gettable flag isn't
    enough now.

2004-06-10 03:46:13  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fix Player::disconnect() so that is also disconnects the actual
    TelnetHandler. (Fixes #232)
  * Because these call each other, make it so Player::disconnect()
    immediately returns if there is no valid TelnetHandler
    attached, and then detect the TelnetHandler before calling
    its net_disconnect() method.
  * Fix Player::start() so that it only attempts to re-add itself
    to the room if not already active.  Also gets rid of the silly
    nested activate()/deactivate() calls.  Just calls do_look()
    if the player is already active, to refresh room information.

2004-06-09 04:26:50  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Entities in EList containers (such as rooms) are sorted by name
    and then insertion order.  RoomExits continue to be sorted by
    direction as well.  The update is not yet complete, although it
    is functional.  Mostly design/code-cleanliness issues remain.
    Also the problem that changing an Entity will not result in
    a resort even when one is needed.

2004-06-09 02:57:59  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Don't clear the player name on load, we have intelligent
    altname handling now.  (Fixes #231)
  * Don't duplicate players in the player manager needlessy.
    Namely, if the player is valid, we can reuse it.  Otherwise,
    if it's active, it's in use and may become valid soon, so assume
    it to be usable.  Probably not perfect, but likely good enough.
  * Update the exit direction reciprocal/opposites table.

2004-06-08 15:54:42  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * When looking at an exit, the target room is now displayed.
  * The above can be disabled for individual exits by setting
    their nolook flag.

2004-06-07 16:54:19  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Properly display 'pm' for 12 noon.  (Fixes #229)

2004-06-07 03:22:21  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Small changes and updates, nothing serious/noteworthy.

2004-06-06 19:50:04  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Weapons can now set strings to be used for their attack
    descriptions.

2004-06-06 06:07:30  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fixed some divide-by-zero errors in the combat code.
  * Added an equipment list to NpcBlueprint.  The list is object
    blueprints which are created and equipped to NPCs when created
    from the blueprint.
  * Don't show hidden objects in a character inventory description.
  * Properly (de)activate objects when equipped and unequipped
    from a character.
  * Fixes to npc.cc to not save/load duplicate information.
  * The above all means that NPC will fight again, and that animals
    have claws that sort of act right.  More work is needed for
    combat descriptions.

2004-06-04 21:00:20  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Moved alignment to CharacterData.
  * Moved NPC combat properties to NpcData.

2004-06-03 20:58:30  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Removed NPC age; can't think of a real use for it.
  * Added the <, <=, >, and >= operators to the text parser.
  * Added a bunch of date and time related global commands to the
    text parser.
  * Began writing doc/parse.txt for documenting the text parser.

2004-05-28 19:17:00  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Began making CharacterData and NpcData.  Both need information
    put in them from their children classes.  Could also use
    CharacterBlueprint to better abstract the NPC stuff.

2004-05-28 14:56:14  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fixed crash when bvision was one.  Integer Scriptix data types
    on events weren't being handled correctly.  (Fixes #227)

2004-05-28 04:05:34  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Now added the object flags to the ObjectData shared class,
    so blueprints support them automatically now.
  * Added a new dropable flag (default yes), although it isn't
    used anywhere yet.

2004-05-28 02:26:12  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Further improvements to the EntityData and ObjectData code.
  * Updated to OLC to allow changing object blueprints and to view
    NPC viewprints.  (Will allow changing NPC blueprints when the
    NPC code is updated to allow it.)
  * Changed the main menu to read option 5 as Quit instead of Exit,
    to be consistent with the quit command in-game.

2004-05-27 20:56:52  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Changed all the clear_*() methods to be reset_*(), which I
    think is clearer.  (No pun intended.)

2004-05-27 20:22:09  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Broke common code from ObjectBlueprint and Object into
    ObjectData.
  * Fixed missing description for the chain mail shirt blueprint.

2004-05-27 18:03:35  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Split the object.h header into object.h, objclass.h, and
    container.h.
  * Added Entity Scriptix methods for add_tag, remove_tag,
    and has_tag.

2004-05-27 17:33:27  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Alternate names are stored with the altname name now, instead
    of just using a list of names.  This provides more inheritance
    flexibility.

2004-05-27 14:36:03  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Moved some more common code to EntityData.
  * Fixed saving of the ntype attribute.

2004-05-26 02:42:59  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Split much of the common code and data between Entity and
    EntityBlueprint into EntityData.  Still some work left to do.

2004-05-24 15:00:59  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added OLC attributes to Entity called 'tag' and 'untag',
    which are meta-attributes that add or remove a named tag
    (the value given to the modify command).
  * Split the OLC help into olc.help.
  * Fixed the streams pointer output format to use const pointers.

2004-05-23 04:25:12  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * NPC now have a room tag which is required on any room they
    enter.
  * Also added a revroomtag flag to NPCs, which reverses the room
    tag meaning; they can enter any room without the tag.
  * Added a can_use_exit() method to Npc for centralizing the exit
    usage logic, to make scripting easier and more consistent.

2004-05-17 04:46:06  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The Entity activate and deactivate methods cannot be called
    on already active and deactive entities, respectively.
  * Fix some uses of the above two methods to abide by the above
    rule.
  * Correct Entity::remove() so that it only calls deactivate()
    if the entity is active, as per the above rule.
  * Player class does better active tracking/handling.
  * Remove the debugging code from Server::run.  Namely, don't
    eat the CPU and don't incessently garbage collect.

2004-05-17 04:13:13  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Updated Character's inventory management functions to simply
    require release()/remove() to be called on the object.
  * Remove debugging statement from gc.cc.
  * Minor remove/release usage fixes.

2004-05-17 03:25:33  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Races and classes are now using the IManager interface.
  * Socials are using the IManager interface.
  * GC interface tweaks.
  * Require newer Scriptix for fixes in the Scriptix compiler code.
  * More complete tracking of whether an entity is live(active)
    or not.  See the activate() and deactivate() virtual methods
    on Entity.
  * Entity now has a remove() method and a virtual release() method.
    The release() method does what the old Object and Character
    remove() methods did.  The Entiy::remove() method just calls
    release() and deactivate().  Methods that manage ownership
    of entities should call release() while everyone else should
    definitely use only remove().
  * Removed the SZoneManager::del_zone(), Zone::del_room(), and
    Room::remove_exit_by_id() methods.  Just use the remove()
    method on the child entities now.

2004-05-13 05:01:18  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Re-added tags.  Bashed on a multimap in EntityManager and a
    tag list on each entity.  No, not yet ideal.
  * Zone spawns use tags instead of attributes.  This also means
    that spawns now count *global* entities with the tag, not just
    entities in the zone.  Not a big problem; just use unique tag
    names in zone spawns.
  * Removed the entity unique name code.  Not using it, and tags can
    do the same thing.  No, tags are not guaranteed to be unique,
    but then, unique names pose all sorts of not-unique problems
    as well.  Tags are a cleaner and safer solution.

2004-05-11 03:53:58  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Remove use of Log::End in script-intr.xml.
  * Fix some Makefile.am bugs with not including required files.

2004-05-10 17:37:14  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The log streams now work properly.
  * The StreamControl::stream_put() method handles the ungiven
    length input instead of the individual StreamSinks, now.
  * Changed all calls of stream_put to a proper stream command.
  * Removed all usage of the Log::End stream command, as it's no
    longer useful.

2004-05-09 06:46:11  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Cleanups and improvements to the FileObject API and helper
    macros.
  * Removed the debug statement from 50.creation.sx that caused
    unparsed description text to be spit out. (Fixes #223)
  * String API cleanups.
  * Log interface uses streams now.
  * Control code uses streams now.

2004-05-07 02:24:37  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * On OS X (and presumably BSD, too) the hostname command by default
    returns the FQDN, unlike GNU where you must pass the -f flag.
    During configure, check if -f is accepted; if it is, use that to
    get the FQDN, otherwise use hostname with no flags.
  * Fix tools/replace.sh.in so that variable expansions actually
    work.

2004-05-05 20:55:21  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The Character::add_rt() method takes seconds, not ticks.
    All callers were just calculating seconds and multiplying by
    TICKS_PER_SEC, so this makes sense.
  * Animal AI will revert to wander mode if, during flee mode,
    no reason to run is found.  Note: this still needs a lot of
    work, still rather buggy.

2004-05-05 20:21:06  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * May not individually specify telnet timeouts per account.
    (Fixes #211)

2004-05-04 20:19:54  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * All those S*Manager types now derive from IManager in server.h.
  * The server has a require() method to request the initialization
    of a manager.
  * Managers are shutdown in reverse order of their initialization.
  * Converted some S*Manager::initialize() methods to use
    server.require().  Need more conversions.

2004-05-04 15:23:06  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Days are 24 hours, not 60.  Fixes uptime day count display.

2004-05-03 01:35:52  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added Entity::load_init() and Entity::load_finish() to
    facilitate initializing objects before load (resetting them)
    and doing any finalization and/or sanity checks after load.
    Not all that clean or pretty, needs more work all around.
  * Room exits are now sorted after load.  They must be manually
    re-sorted if changed.  Also not pretty, also needs more work.

2004-05-02 21:52:54  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Somewhat improved animal AI.
  * Cleaned up combat code to be usable.

2004-05-02 19:12:09  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Don't crash when attempting to attack a non-Character.
  * NPC random exits should actually be random now.

2004-05-02 18:40:53  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The cmd_init.cc macros a little better and cleaner now.
  * The cmd_init.cc macros use format priority instead of the
    explicit short-name hacks.
  * Room output is given for combat.

2004-05-02 17:14:58  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fork before writing PID file.

2004-05-02 16:25:55  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added a universal StreamIndent command for handling room output
    and such.
  * Began writing an auto-indent feature, useful mainly for help
    files and block text.
  * Fixed the "look" command search order using the temporary
    explicit shortname hack.  (Need to add priority support to
    the cmd_init.cc macros...)

2004-04-30 20:49:55  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Chroot'ing and some other server operations are done first
    thing now to sanitize use of paths.
  * Got rid of the "base" path specification, and just specified
    all the paths in the config file.
  * Fixed awemud.conf generation not working due to bug in
    tools/replace.sh.in.

2004-04-30 18:03:47  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * You can't use a social command on yourself.
  * Wrap the gc_allocator.h include due to bug where it doesn't
    have include guards.

2004-04-30 04:17:22  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * "Fix" for the problem that autoconf expansions are intended
    for shell script and makefiles, not normal data files or
    source files.  Basically, we added tools/replace.sh to do the
    same bloody things configure does for expanding *.in files, and
    then we do that expand for awemud.conf in the Makefile.am file.
    Stupid autoconf.

2004-04-30 03:05:30  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Refined HelpManager storage/management.
  * Broke commands help to data/commands.help.
  * The help command search categories first, then man pages,
    then help topics.
  * Man pages with NULL/nil about sections are auto-bound to help
    topics in the commands category.
  * Converted movement, look, and say/sing commands to above
    auto-help feature.
  * Fixed sing command.
  * Fixed the explode() function.
  * Called String::strip() on empty strings won't crash anymore.

2004-04-30 01:12:15  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * You can now configure the length of inactivity timeouts for
    players in awemud.conf.  Default is still 15 minutes.
  * Updated man page to be a little nicer.

2004-04-29 22:28:50  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fix display of character description at the end of character
    creation.

2004-04-29 03:55:27  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The tools/commit script should pick up ~/.self.info now.
    Hopefully.
  * Corrected all the bogus/ugly email addresses in ChangeLog
    caused by the above bug.

2004-04-29 03:51:00  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The 'help' command will now attempt to find a command manual
    entry for a help topic if no match if found in the help
    database.
  * The 'bug' command wasn't working right, the format used the
    erroneous word 'abuse'.  How's that for ironic?  (Fixes #212)
  * Help topic/category descriptions go through the parsing
    system, so we can use the bold tags for command names (cool)
    and command output examples can do fun things like use real
    output or player data.
  * The 'man' command can now take multi-word arguments.

2004-04-28 18:31:36  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * When travelling an exit, you no longer see the "You arrive"
    style messages.
  * Player names are always forced to be of the Proper name type.

2004-04-27 17:55:48  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Use the standards compliant gc_allocator interface instead of
    the much nicer and easier but compiler specific new_gc_alloc
    interface.
  * Added some specialty classes for GC-scanned STL containers.
  * Did some type renaming and work to utilize the above.
  * Other minor changes here and there for GCC 3.4 compatibility.

2004-04-22 03:33:01  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * AccessID and EventID lookup() calls return invalid IDs on
    empty input strings.
  * Added some useful methods to Command and CommandFormat for
    querying basic info.

2004-04-20 20:48:07  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added sections to commands to make the command list prettier.

2004-04-20 04:19:31  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Changed the role/access system to use numeric IDs versus
    strings, similar to how event IDs work.
  * Added a few more socials.
  * Fixed a bug where BufferSink would cause a crash as its ptr
    member was NULL instead of pointing to buffer on initialization.
  * Updated the doc/Todo file.
  * Social object and character targets both use the name "target"
    in parsed strings, versus "object" and "victim" respectively
    as before.

2004-04-19 20:53:22  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The command manager individually handles each format now,
    allowing us finer control of command searching.
  * Command callbacks are attached to formats, not over-all
    commands, which in the future will allow us more flexible
    commands.
  * Command formats are automatically sorted, which means you
    don't have to be careful in which order you register formats,
    and that you can over-ride pre-existing commands.  Algorithm
    isn't perfect; currently need to register one-letter versions
    of common commands like north, look, etc to ensure they are
    found first on one-letter input.

2004-04-17 20:41:18  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added the BufferSink stream sink for static buffers (faster
    than allocated strings) for use in text::parse().
  * Also added StreamChunk, which is a way to specify a string
    segment/chunk to a stream without needed to allocate a
    temporary string.  Also for use in text::parse().

2004-04-17 16:23:28  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The parser now uses Scriptix values, not just entities.
    You can use the parser to print out text and integers from
    Scriptix using str_parse() or *.printf().
  * Added a printf() method to Character in Scriptix.
  * Fixed make clean (eventids-stamp wasn't being deleted).

2004-04-16 03:54:22  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Corrected some typos in doc/control.txt.
  * Improved the control interface parser to handle -escaped
    character and {} quoted words.
  * Increased default control interface buffer size to 1024.
  * Updated doc/control.txt for new parsing improvements.
  * Move tools/revert.sh to tools/undo and made it work
    intelligently.

2004-04-15 21:00:10  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added StreamCharDesc and a little refactoring of display
    methods.

2004-04-14 03:48:08  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Wrote SCommandManager and made the CommandManager global.

2004-04-13 20:15:49  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * NPCs can be zone locked so they will not leave the zone they
    are put in.
  * NPCs will only use "normal" exits, for now.  We will add a
    way to specify which exits they may use.
  * Fixed RDQueue bug caused by incorrect page/chunk handling.

2004-04-09 03:29:29  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Moved builder vision (seeing events) to the player code and
    out of the event loop, which should be more efficient over-all.
  * Removed the debug lines in the event handling loop.
  * Fixed the npc.cc file which wasn't completely updated for the
    s/template/blueprint/ transition.

2004-04-09 03:15:11  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Renamed AttributeList to AttributeHolder, since I'd like to
    (someday) make attributes hold actual lists/arrays.
  * Renamed templates to blueprints, in code, files, and documents.
    Templates were confusing because they meant several different
    things in the code.  Blueprint is much less ambiguous.

2004-04-07 04:27:40  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Something funny happened with the ChangeLog.  Restored it now.

2004-04-07 04:14:51  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added an auxillary data item to events.  Attributes are too
    heavy weight given that the vast majority of events that need
    an extra argument only need one.
  * Improved event documentation; pretty much complete now.
  * Fixed the ON_GET event to only trigger if the object is
    actually retrieved.
  * Character::damage() sends the ON_DAMAGE event.
  * The combat code sends the ON_ATTACK event.

2004-04-06 20:06:58  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * More event documentation.
  * The Character::enter() method uses non-const RoomExit so we
    can event-ize it.
  * Added RDQueue code.  (Similar to STL dqueues, but doesn't
    require re-allocating memory; optimized just for pushing on
    the end and popping off the front.)
  * Events are now stored vs delivered immediately, and processes
    en-bulk in the main game loop.
  * Made a quick fix for the "let's overwrite the PID file when
    another AweMUD process is already running, thus destroying
    its usefulness!"  Needs to be fixed for real, tho.
  * Fixed the zmp.input handler.

2004-04-06 16:01:46  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added support for the zmp.input command.

2004-03-31 04:38:55  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added a new StringArg class, which is very similar to String.
    It is used when passing a string argument to a function.
    For now, it's a bit of a performance regression, but it's
    paving the way for the GC string implementation I'm working on
    that will make things a lot smoother and cleaner.  Patience,
    grasshoper.

2004-03-30 21:23:47  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * *blush* So... the garbage collector has been disabled for
    several releases.  Whoops.  It's re-enabled now, so memory
    will actually be reclaimed.
  * Added a DEBUG statement to force a full garbage collection
    every game loop.  This is to stress the GC, just to make sure
    no collection bugs slipped in during all that time while the
    GC was disabled.  Make sure this gets removed before the next
    release, as it's a performance killer.

2004-03-26 04:12:42  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The new eventids.h and eventids.cc are build from the
    event-list.xml file automatically.
  * Use the new pre-calculated event IDs for faster event signaling.

2004-03-25 04:11:04  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fixed Room and String streams when the supplied length argument
    is 0; now it'll work as expected.
  * Fixed usage of the saxon:line-number extension in
    script-code.xsl, now that xsltproc supports it (rock!!) and
    I can actually test/use it.

2004-03-25 01:26:50  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Split the Character::do_look() method into a set of Character
    methods for streaming out character descriptions and equipment
    lists.
  * Split PlayerManager stuff into pmanager.cc and PlayerTitle
    stuff into ptitle.cc.

2004-03-24 20:38:44  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The format parsing code has a fix to not include the final
    quote in a string.  Doh.

2004-03-19 20:42:28  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The control interface now uses the local system "lookup UID"
    feature to authenticate users over the control socket, since
    apparantly only Linux does actual file system authentication for
    UNIX sockets.  This needs to be tested on BSD, OS X, and Cygwin.
  * Bunch of documentation buildings updates.
  * Added doc/event-list.xml, which is used to build the events
    documentation, and eventually pre-computed event ID numbers
    for faster event signaling.

2004-03-16 21:35:22  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Allow giving explicit length to stream_put methods on streams.
  * Use new explicit length in draw_bar().

2004-03-08 16:57:46  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Moved combat from Scriptix to C++.  (Warning: conversion is
    far from complete.)
  * Additions to Character API for handling combat data.
  * CharGender now has methods for getting "his/her" strings and
    similar stuff.
  * Script documentation generation updates.  (Sorry, this shouldn't
    have been included.)

2004-02-16 04:42:45  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Release 0.21.

2004-02-15 05:07:02  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added Player::validate() to be called in character creation
    to finalize the character.  (Fixes #207)
  * Fixed SPlayerManager::exists() to use case-insensitive
    searching.

2004-02-15 03:43:50  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * ZMPPack::add() explicitly supports long and ulong (for 64-bit
    systems where int!=long).

2004-02-15 02:02:18  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Removed 'loading script' message printed for each script.
    We don't do it for any of the other files we load, why waste
    screen/log space with these?
  * Also removed a debug message in login.cc.

2004-02-15 01:31:59  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Correct behaviour for player active state tracking in
    Player::start() and Player::create().
  * Drop all group privileges if a group change is specified
    in awemud.conf.

2004-02-13 20:48:16  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Use add_rt() in scripts/20.npc.sx instead of show_rt().

2004-02-13 20:36:34  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Status bars are now updated in Player::update(), not
    show_prompt(), meaning that the bars can be updated without
    the need to send text to the game window.  *Very* nice.
  * Got rid of Character::show_rt(), since the RT is always shown
    in the prompt or status bar immediately anyhow.  Plus it made
    the interface look more technical than it needs to.
  * If a client with ZMP and x-awemud is connected, the default
    player prompt is just >.  No need to spit out HP and RT when
    the client has the beautiful status bars to do it for you!
  * Removed the 'Your round time has expired' message.  This is
    a regression for users without PyCL (status bars).

2004-02-13 05:13:07  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Updated to use the x-awemud package name instead of x-pycl.
  * Added code to use the status bar feature of x-awemud.

2004-02-12 21:50:42  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added a ZMPPack class which can be used to easily construct
    a ZMP request.
  * Modified the PyCL-enhanced OLC description editor to use
    ZMPPack.
  * Modified the Scriptix ZMP binding to use ZMPPack.

2004-02-11 21:13:37  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Automatically taken to main menu after new account creation.
  * Cleaned up login code slightly; ensure account == NULL.

2004-02-11 20:04:43  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added the MD5 implementation by Colin Plumb (public domain).
  * No longer require GNU/BSD crypt() w/ MD5 extensions, libcrypt
    or libssl.
  * Namespaced the md5_crypt and md5_compare functions.

2004-02-11 04:56:26  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Properly account for length of socket path (include NUL byte).
  * settings::get_path() no longer has a default default.  ;-)
  * settings::get_path() returns NULL if the default is NULL and the
    requested path is unspecified.

2004-02-10 19:29:53  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Moved StreamParse from streams.h to parse.h.
  * Added StreamParse::add() methods to build StreamParse arguments
    vs using the constructor interface.
  * Updated COPYING file with 2004 copyright notice and a nicer
    header.

2004-02-10 04:19:25  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fixed bootstrap script to use ACLOCAL_FLAGS environment variable.
  * Fixed the BUILD_DOCS automake flag to use the correct test.
  * Updated the FAQ with some notes on building on OS X w/ Fink.

2004-02-09 02:24:15  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Header update in awemud-ctrl.c for OS X compilation.
  * Fix return value of SPlayerManager::count to size_t for 64-bit
    systems.
  * Fixed tools/note.sh to get around GNU-isms.

2004-02-06 20:07:59  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Bumping of characters already active but not connected works
    again.

2004-02-06 19:54:24  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Updated the XSL code for script doc generation.

2004-02-05 05:24:00  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Cleaned up strings functions, removed some unused funcs.
  * Also, s/str_is_long/str_is_number/.
  * Added unsigned long versions of string conversion funcs.
  * Used buffer size of 40, not 20, for string/number conversion
    funcs.

2004-02-05 01:31:06  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Access lists are stored per account vs per player now.
  * Also tons of little cleanups, especially in parser code.
  * Removed the old flags_type and relevant macros.

2004-02-04 16:12:40  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The install paths of AweMUD are now much more standard.
  * Fixed some of the path name oddities in awemud.conf.
  * Updated admin guide and FAQ in relation to installation issues.

2004-02-03 22:01:13  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Passphrases are now required to be at least 6 characters and
    have both letters and numbers.

2004-02-03 16:58:09  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Cleaned up the login display.
  * Character deletion is in.
  * Added several new commands to the control interface:
    setmaxcahrs, setmaxactive, showaccount.

2004-02-03 03:49:10  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added limit on account characters.
  * Added limit on account active characters.
  * Accounts can be disabled.
  * Appended historic AweMUD ChangeLog (pre-NG).  This is missing
    a few months of work however when ChangeLog notes were just
    stored in the CVS repo.
  * The 'user-count' variable in the string parse code is now
    'player-count', which returns active players (and does not
    include those just logged into the account menu).
  * The 'users' variable in the control interface is now 'pcount'.

2004-02-02 16:58:09  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Updated the admin guide with notes on the account settings
    in awemud.conf.

2004-02-02 16:48:43  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fix the awemud.conf.in to have the right section name for
    'accounts'.
  * Added AccountManager::exists(), which is similar in function
    to PlayerManager::exists().
  * Updates to Player and Account code to properly be case
    insensitive where appropriate (especially during file
    operations).
  * Make the AccountManager::get() use the account ID, not name.
    Whoops.
  * Character deletion is still disabled.

2004-02-02 15:16:05  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The TelnetHandler class is now scriptable.  (Barely.)
  * ZMP commands can now be Scriptix functions.
  * Added check to limit number of characters an account can create.
  * Added a check if new account creation is disabled.

2004-02-02 05:01:35  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Main menu added after account login.
  * Players may select to play an existing character or create a
    new one.
  * Quitting during play returns user to account main menu.
  * Fixed some warnings in network code when gcc -Wall is enabled.
  * Player 'playable' flag removed, just use 'valid' now.  Who's all
    keeping track of this?  I'm lost...
  * Note: account code still not complete.  Alos likely to suffer
    from many bugs.

2004-02-01 19:42:55  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added the Account datatype.
  * Player passwords, names, and email addresses are stored in
    their account, not player.
  * Warning: this is not finished yet.  New character creation
    and many other previous features are unavailable until this
    code is completed.

2004-01-31 20:41:49  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added/changed copyrights for year 2004.
  * Added note to COPYRIGHT that the copyright is owned by both
    AwesomePlay and any contributors.  (Who should hopefully have
    marked their contributions in the files they modified/added.)

2004-01-30 04:34:07  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The Player 'valid' flag is now called 'playable'.
  * The 'valid' flag now means it's a real character and not a
    place-holder (i.e., it can be saved).
  * Added a Player::is_connected(), which just checks that
    get_handler() isn't NULL.
  * Bumping actually checks password.
  * Player must be explicitly saved to become valid.
  * Bumping is automatic (no confirm) if the player is disconnected.

2004-01-29 19:30:14  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added ITelnetMode, and TelnetModeLogin and TelnetModePlay.
  * Merged TelnetHandler::net_disconnect() with net_shutdown().
  * SPlayerManager tracks player timeouts after hangups.
  * Character::remove() doesn't set location to NULL.

2004-01-29 16:23:25  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Require latest version of Scriptix.
  * Only give scripts the SEC_FORK security access by default.

2004-01-23 21:32:31  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fix character creation to start up properly.

2004-01-23 03:26:17  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Player no longer derives from TelnetHandler.
  * Login menu handled by TelnetHandler, not a player input
    processor.
  * Added an IStreamSink interface to make plugging into
    StreamControl very easy.
  * PlayerManager guarantees only one copy of a player exists at
    a time.
  * Player cannot be created without a name, which cannot change.
  * Player auto-registers itself with the PlayerManager, and
    auto-removes itself.
  * The 'grant' command saves the player immediately.
  * Lots of smallish changes to support player/telnet separation.

2004-01-23 03:25:52  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Player no longer derives from TelnetHandler.
  * Login menu handled by TelnetHandler, not a player input
    processor.
  * Added an IStreamSink interface to make plugging into
    StreamControl very easy.
  * PlayerManager guarantees only one copy of a player exists at
    a time.
  * Player cannot be created without a name, which cannot change.
  * Player auto-registers itself with the PlayerManager, and
    auto-removes itself.
  * The 'grant' command saves the player immediately.
  * Lots of smallish changes to support player/telnet separation.

2004-01-22 16:42:26  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Removed the CVS $Id tag from build files.

2004-01-22 16:26:12  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Removed the useless 'Header file' and 'Source file' notes from
    file comments.
  * Removed the CVS $Id$ tags from file comments.

2004-01-22 16:10:29  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Renamed the various singleton classes like _Blah to SBlah.
  * Moved all connection management to TelnetHandler and
    STelnetManager.
  * Renamed Processor to IProcessor.  (It's not a true interface
    class, but is close enough.)
  * Renamed SocketServer to ISocketServer.

2004-01-21 16:36:41  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The player file valid attribute is now called invalid (with
    the opposite effect).  Files with no invalid: true attribute
    are considered valid.
  * Player passphrases are stored in the .ply file now.  Yes,
    that's right, no more data/passwd.  Unfortunately, this means
    passwords (encrypted) are kept in memory now.
  * Player files are written with no group/other access, to better
    protect the encrypted player passwords.
  * Removed duplicated 'chpass' code in control.cc
  * Fix silly crash bug with new Sockets calling close().

2004-01-21 15:46:30  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Cleanup the Socket code, unification.
  * The AI code closes the directory it opens for scanning.

2004-01-20 20:37:06  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Split the telnet/connection code from the Player class to
    TelnetHandler.

2004-01-16 21:54:29  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Re-activated calls to Player::check_time() so inactivity will
    result in disconnection again.
  * When the client hangs up, and the client is actually playing,
    they will not be immediately removed from the game; thus,
    pulling the plug isn't a safe way out of danger.  The 'quit'
    command still has this behaviour for now, tho.

2004-01-16 20:58:10  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The old meaning of 'valid' (player logged in) is now called
    'active'.
  * Added a 'valid' flag which means the player file is, well,
    valid.
  * Existing player files will need the valid: yes attribute added
    to the file, or else on login they will be forced to make a
    new character.

2004-01-16 16:53:37  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added an 'adduser' command to the control interface.
  * If a player file doesn't exist but the player is in the passwd
    list, enter character creation on login.
  * Empty passwords fail automatically during password validation.
  * Failed login attempts reset to name entry.

2004-01-16 05:32:50  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added a MessageManager system, which pulls arbitrary text out
    of data/messages.
  * Changed all uses of the server.get_*_message() calls with
    calls to MessageManager.get().

2004-01-15 19:23:26  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Allow entities to have a unique-name for searching and lookup.
  * Expanded 'whereis' command so you now specify if you're looking
    for a player or a uname.
  * Added Entity.get_by_uname() static method to Scriptix.
  * Added a virtual, get_room() method to Entity since every
    Entity child (except Zone) needs it, and it makes sense to
    have a standard name.
  * Moved Exit::get_room() to Exit::get_target_room() and
    Exit::get_exit() to Exit::get_target_exit().  Same for the
    Scriptix equivalents.

2004-01-15 04:19:49  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The core team list isn't accurate, but we can't move people
    to Contributors because that wouldn't be accurate either,
    do just rename Core Team to Developers.

2004-01-15 04:05:41  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added a 'price' command for stores, to determine how much an
    item can be sold for.
  * Improved output of 'sell' a wee bit in regards to object names.
  * Set the ntype for emeralds to vowel (starts with an 'e').

2004-01-13 22:05:16  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * The sell command should call object.remove(), not
    player.remove().
  * Don't let directional command(north, east, etc.) crash if the
    player isn't in a room.
  * Force failure of Player::start() if no location is present.

2004-01-13 21:59:24  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added get_cost() and set_cost() to Object type in Scriptix.
  * Added a sell command in scripts/50.store.sx.

2004-01-09 05:18:34  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added a UNIX domain socket Control Interface Protocol system,
    documented in doc/control.txt.
  * Flush log file notices, very important.
  * Removed tools/passwd.pl, as the awemud-ctrl utility with the
    chpass command does the same thing.
  * Removed tools/rpc-test.py, since we're remove XML-RPC.
  * Added information on the Control Interface Protocol to the
    Admin's Guide.

2004-01-07 20:28:37  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Improved character creation output a bit for description
    details.

2004-01-07 19:46:50  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Allow ingame help to be spread over multiple files.

2004-01-07 04:40:30  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Update for Scriptix changes.

2004-01-06 05:19:46  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added an 'admin chpass' command to change players' passwords.
  * Script guide now includes docs on strings, integers, arrays,
    and other builtins.
  * Script guide includes more docs on custom extends.
  * Use xmlto instead of docbook-utils.

2004-01-05 21:44:40  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fix some title names.
  * Make -ldl not required.
  * Fix data/admin.ply.

2004-01-05 04:48:35  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added hair styles.
  * Added skin color.
  * Merged EyeColorType and HairColorType into ColorType.
    (Also used for skin.)
  * Races can define a skin type, to replace the word "skin" in
    description.  (For example, kalruan have a skin type of "fur.")
  * Added player build types.  (Lean, broad, etc.)

2003-12-23 20:31:20  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Removed NameRegistry, was unused except for Events.
  * Rewrote EventID system, cleaner and smaller.

2003-12-23 01:30:16  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Make the 'commands' command work properly again.

2003-12-19 21:48:00  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Statement about the help command during login is bold instead
    of in quotes.

2003-12-19 15:26:07  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Make settings::get_path() lookup section 'paths', not 'path'
    (settings otherwise don't work without modifying awemud.conf).

2003-12-18 03:34:01  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * In rooms, s/Visible exits/Obvious exits/.

2003-12-17 20:25:13  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Began adding special ZMP support for the x-pycl package.
    (So I can play around with various ZMP possibilities, using
    the PyCL client.)

2003-12-17 16:56:58  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fix serious crash/corruption bug in network code.

2003-12-17 15:59:19  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Removed the debug messages from 50.object.sx.

2003-12-17 04:40:09  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Fixed player load error message.
  * Actually honor the disabled flag for players.
  * Help files have categories too.

2003-12-16 17:01:38  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Updated block format for FileObject format.
  * Updated parsing of normal value entries.

2003-12-12 16:03:03  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Hair and eye colors can now be limited by race.
  * Added a capwords() function to C++ and Scriptix.

2003-12-11 21:41:00  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Began writing the NEWS updates for 0.21.
  * Updated FAQ.

2003-12-11 21:27:44  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Exits now support named entities in leave/go/enter messages.
  * Login and connect messages support named entities.
  * Room, race, NPC, and objects descriptions support named
    entities.
  * Updated several misuses of the parsing constructs (removed
    use of :, forced use of .).

2003-12-11 21:00:51  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Parse system now can name the entities, as well as number them.
  * Socials support naming in the parse data.
  * Socials were broken, fixed them.

2003-12-11 18:43:55  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Equipment directly stored on Character, not a separate CharBody.
  * In scripts, Character.hands_free() is now
    Character.free_hands().

2003-12-11 04:02:48  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Gender is now part of Character, not CharBody.
  * Gender uses the GenderType class, not just a bare enum.
  * Fixed 20.player.sx for {.eyecolor} usage.

2003-12-10 20:20:37  Sean Middleditch <elanthis@awemud.net>

  * Added a 'used' script (called to replace normal enter function)
    to room exits.
  * Fixed player commands to actually work.
  * Added example 'magic portal' to example.zone - you need a gem
    in hand to use it.

  * Global entity list reimplemented; wasteful, but only way to
    guarantee proper updates propogate.
  * Entity subtypes can define their "validity" - i.e., if they
    are to be ignored in updating.  Another painful side effect
    of the global entity list.

  * IPv6 is no longer experimental.

  * Added a very small script in tools, that does exactly the same
    thing as cvscommit.sh, except it does not commit the data
    directory.  It changes all the time when awemud is run, and the

    get_player_info, which do pretty much what they say on the tin.
  * Added a rpc-test.py into tools as a demonstration and test of
    the rpc interface.

2003-04-11  Philip Scott <scotty@philipscott.freeserve.co.uk>

  * No changes, I just wanted to see if i've worked out how to

    not pre-emptively.
