Changes in version 3.2.3
------------------------
- Fix crash on startup in Windows.
- Fix compilation with gcc 15.
Changes in version 3.2.2
------------------------
- Bug fixed: it is not possible to shrink the window's width.
Changes in version 3.2.1
------------------------
- Bug fixed: $world->hookenabled now works correctly when checking
status of hook 0.
- Bug fixed: KCWin's are again scrolled when text is added to them.
- Bug fixed: if called with a command-line argument that is not the
name of a saved world, KildClient tries to interpret that as a
hostname, instead of crashing.
- Bug fixed: it is now possible to copy text via the output area
context menu again.
Changes in version 3.2.0
------------------------
- Bug fixed: triggers and aliases now work with non-ASCII characters
(accented letters, other alphabets and writing systems).
- Handling of non-ASCII characters (accented letters, other
alphabets and writing systems) in Perl works much better now, as
strings are properly marked as being in UTF-8.
For example, $world->echonl(length("á")) now prints "1" instead of "2".
- It is not necessary to specify a command to run a browser, the
default browser (as selected by the system's mime database) is now
used.
- It is now possible (but not recommended) to select another
character to be used to run Perl commands instead of the default
'/'.
Changes in version 3.1.0
------------------------
- A list of available languages for spell checking is now displayed
instead of having to manually enter the language code.
- It's now possible to set a default file name for log files using
the Preferences>Edit default world menu.
- Added the $world->getinput() and $world->setinput() functions set
retrieve and set the current input in the command entry box.
- Bug fixed: the list of recent commands is now displayed again when
the "down" button next to the input box is clicked.
- Bug fixed: OnServerData hooks can now be exported just like other
hooks.
- Bug fixed: KildClient no longer crashes when an error happens
during TLS negotiation.
- Some strings that weren't displayed in the local language under
Windows are now displayed properly translated.
- The deprecated functions getwindowsize(), minimize() and path()
have been removed. If your code still uses them, they'll have to
be replaced by $window->getsize(), $window->minimize() and
$world->path(), respectively.
Changes in version 3.0.1
------------------------
- Bug fixed: scroll to end working again with GTK+ 3.13 and later.
Changes in version 3.0.0
------------------------
- The code responsible for interpreting the lines received from the
server and displaying them has been rewritten to take advantage of
newer processors by doing things in parallel. That should make the
program more responsive, especially when there are many triggers.
- KildClient has been upgraded to use GTK+ 3. This should not affect
your user experience, but plugins that use gtk2-perl for graphical
interface need to be upgraded to use gtk3-perl. In most cases,
just replacing s/Gtk2/Gtk3/ should be sufficient. But if the
plugin used deprecated functions, bigger changes might be
necessary. See the following link for more information on
upgrading: https://metacpan.org/release/Gtk3/
- KildClient now supports the GMCP (also called ATCP2) and MSDP
protocols for data transfer between the server and client.
- KildClient now supports HTTP proxies.
- Timers can now have sub-second intervals. The syntax is the same,
but you can now use an interval of "0.5" to run the timer twice
per second.
- New functions have been created to enable/disable triggers,
aliases, macros, timers and hooks without printing the "Trigger
modified" message (or similar): silentenatrigger/silentdistrigger
and similarly for the other objects.
- New function $world->cmdseparator() to set and retrieve the
command separator.
- When opening log files, parent directories are created as
necessary automatically.
- New function getclientname() returns the name of the client
("KildClient").
- Bug fixed: KildClient no longer crashes when importing triggers or
aliases from the World Selector.
- Bug fixed: Some telnet commands (used to configure protocols for
communication between KildClient and the server) could be ignored
if immediately following a new line.
Changes in version 2.11.1
-------------------------
- Bug fixed: the SSL handshake locked the interface. And KildClient
would wait forever if it never completed, requiring a forced
close.
- Fixed bug with some 256-color ansi sequences.
- Fixed a bug that caused the program to freeze when deleting a
trigger or alias of a Word edited from the World Selector.
- If a plugin fails to load, any objects created by that plugin are
removed.
- Fixed bug that prevented copying text from the scroll window.
- Fixed crash that happened if you had a rewriter trigger without an
action. (Thanks to dmzkrsk.)
Changes in version 2.11.0
-------------------------
- Added an option to disable up/down for navigating the command
history (Alt+up/down will remain working.) This allows the use of
input methods that use the arrow keys as part of the input
process.
- Included the 'channels' plugin by Jack Mudge. It allows for
capturing all lines of text matching a regexp to a separate
window.
- The path() function has been changed, it should now be called as
$world->path(). It now respects the delay and grouping settings in
the Preferences dialog instead of sending all commands at once.
- The Windows version now supports SSL.xb
- Bug fixed: the clear button in KCWin windows is now working.
- Bug fixed: under some systems (PC-BSD, for example) connections do
not always fail anymore.
Changes in version 2.10.0
-------------------------
- Added German translation, courtesy of René Küttner.
- It is now possible to use the matched substrings captured with ()
groups in triggers even if the action is not a Perl command: use
$1 to represent the first matched substring, $2 for the second,
and so on.
- It is now possible to split the screen so that you can see
simultaneously the newly received text and some other part of the
scrollback buffer.
- New wrapping options added: it is possible to indent wrapped
lines, and lines can be wrapped after a specific number of
characters, if the window is wider.
- It is now possible to disable the tooltips with the time when a
line was received.
- You can now pass a host name in the command line to connect to a
World. If you need to specify a port other than 4000, use
hostname:port. Also, telnet:// URLs are recognized.
- Added an option to enable TCP Keep Alive. (Based on patch by Tasci
Synx.)
- Fixed bug that prevented the World Editor to be opened again if it
was closed by pressing ESC or using the X button of the title bar.
- Fixed bug: when the World Editor is cancelled, changes you made
are reverted if it's opened again.
- Fixed a bug that caused the program to freeze when editing or
creating a new World from the World Selector.
- Fixed bug: worlds with only one auto-logon character now also have
an option to disable auto-logon in the World Selector.
- Fixed bug that caused on the OnCloseConnected hook to be executed
when it shouldn't (before a connection is really established, or
when the server closes the connection).
- Fixed a bug that reported an error when loading plugins even when
there was no error.
Changes in version 2.9.0
------------------------
- The Command History dialog now displays the most recent commands
in the top.
- If you type a command that you had typed before, now only one copy
is stored in the command history.
- It is now possible to customize what's displayed in the tab for
each World, including for example the name of the character logged
in.
- When you start logging, you can now include lines already present
in the scrollback buffer.
- Added the $world->interpret() function, that takes its argument
and interprets it as if it were typed in the input box.
- Added the $world->expandalias() function to expand aliases in a
given string.
- When defining the file name for logging, it is possible to use the
escapes %Kw and %Kc to represent the world's name and auto-logon
character name, respectively.
- Added the $world->sendlines() function to easily send several
lines with a delay between each line (or group of lines).
- Added the $world->mlsend() function to emulate the Multi-line send
feature (and all its possibilities) from within a perl script.
- The $world->sendfile() function now returns true for success (the
file was sent) and false if the file could not be opened.
- Added the $world->getline() function to retrieve a line from the
scrollback buffer.
- In the "Edit Default World" dialog, some settings related to
logging that did not make sense in that context are not displayed
anymore.
- Bug fixed: using the '>' character in a trigger or alias does not
cause errors anymore.
- Bug fixed: warnings about editing a plugin's object (triggers,
aliases, etc.) now only show when the object edited really is from
a plugin.
- Bug fixed: if you change a world's name, the tab now changes to
the new name immediately.
- Bug fixed: you can define macros containing keys such as the
arrows and Page Up/Page Down. Care is recommended when doing that,
though, because it can conflict with built-in commands for moving
the cursor, for example.
Changes in version 2.8.1
------------------------
- Added Swedish translation, thanks to Niklas Grahn.
- Backspace characters received from the MUD work, erasing the
previous char.
Changes in version 2.8.0
------------------------
- SOCKS proxy support has been added.
- The tab bar can be hidden if there is only open open tab.
- If all the text you type is displayed as black dots (like it was a
password), you can now set an option to prevent that and see the
text in the input box. (This is necessary with a few servers that
do the command echoing themselves.)
- In the multi-line input box, Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Enter now allow
you to enter a new line of text, instead of sending the contents
of the box.
- The $world->deltrigger() function (and the other ones for aliases,
macros, etc.) now return the number of objects deleted.
- Bug fixed: If you edit the list of auto-logon characters
(reordering them or deleting entries), you could reconnect with
the wrong character or get a crash. Now you always reconnect with
the same character, even if the order is changed; if that
auto-logon character is deleted, then auto-logon is disabled.
Changes in version 2.7.0
------------------------
- Added a $window variable pointing to the main window. The
minimize() function is now $window->minimize() and getwindowsize()
is now $window->getsize(). Because of this change, some of your
scripts may need to be rewritten.
- The name of the currently open world is displayed in the title
bar.
- Added the $window->settitle() function to set the title of the
window.
- Added the $window->seturgencyhint() function to force a request of
attention to that window.
- Fixed bug that caused a crash on startup in Ubuntu 8.04 (and
possibly other systems).
- Fixed bug that prevented a plugin from using its permanent
variables during initialization of the plugin.
- OnGetFocus and OnLoseFocus triggers are now run after the setting
of the window title and urgency hint, so the triggers can override
the default behavior.
- Added functions to get a trigger/alias/macro/timer/hook's number
based on its name.
- The URL in the about box can now be clicked to go to KildClient's
web site.
- Added the $world->getlogfile() function to retrieve the name of
the file to which the output is logged.
Changes in version 2.6.0
------------------------
- There is now a close button in the tabs for quickly closing the
world.
- It is now possible to reorder the Worlds by dragging the tabs to
the new desired position.
- When trying to connect to a Mud server, KildClient does not freeze
anymore (it tries connecting asynchronously).
(Includes patch by Zephaniah E. Hull.)
- It is now easier to set up session logging, as logging can be
configured and started/stopped from the World Editor. It is even
possible to configure logging to automatically start from there.
- Added the option not to store the command history between
sections.
(Patch by Zephaniah E. Hull.)
- The keypad keys can now be used in the input box and in dialogs.
(Patch by Zephaniah E. Hull.)
- You can now alternate worlds with Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab.
- Some bugs in the Windows version regarding network handling were
fixed.
- Added the $world->ispermanent function to check if a variable is
permanent.
- Added the $world->getcharacter function to return the name of the
character used to auto log in to the mud.
- Changed the delimiter for pattern matching in triggers and alias
substitution (from <> to ASCII character 5, ^E). This should allow
'>' (used in ->, for example) to be used in an easier way in
aliases.
- Bug fixed: When you open two worls in the Windows version and
close one, or when you try to connect to another one in the same
session, the program does not crash anymore.
- Fixed a bug that sometime caused KildClient under Windows to crash
when switching to another world.
- Bug fixed: If a timer has an interval or repeat count that is a
large number, the output of $world->listtimer is now properly
aligned.
- Bug fixed: When reading XML files (Worlds or triggers/etc to
import), KildClient recognizes the files properly even if they do
not end in a newline.
Changes in version 2.5.1
------------------------
- The last openened world is not selected and displayed on-screen
when the World Selector dialog is shown.
- The default strings for calling a browser and playing a sound now
use quotes around the argument.
- The tooltip with information about the line is not shown anymore
at the same time as the "Disconnected" message box, so it does not
cover the buttons in that dialog.
- Bug fixed: If the kildclient.cfg file does not exist (which
happens usually in the first run), KildClient does not crash
anymore.
- Bug fixed: In single-line input mode, pressing Shift+Enter or
CTRL+Enter now sends the line to the mud.
- Bug fixed: KildClient does not crash anymore if you try to connect
to a world with invalid XML.
Changes in version 2.5.0
------------------------
- You can now change the color and style of a line that matched a
trigger (also known as highlighting).
- When new text is received, the window now flashes to draw your
attention to it (if your window manager supports the "Urgent"
hint). This feature can be disabled, however.
- You can now specify another directory to store configuration files
and saved Worlds, instead of the default ~/.kildclient (Linux) or
%APPDATA%\kildclient (Windows), with the -c command-line option.
- You can now manipulate, from a given World, another World. You get
a pointer to it with the getworld() function, and then call
functions on that pointer.
- Added a new hook: OnCloseDisconnected. This hook is executed when
you forcedly close a world while it is disconnected (via the menu
World->Close, $world->close() or by quitting the program). So you
can put "quit" in there to always exit the mud nicely.
- Added the SILENT attribute to worlds: if $world->{SILENT} is set
to a true value, some messages (such as "Trigger added", "Alias
enabled", etc.) are not printed.
- Fixed bug that closed the client if the Help button was pressed in
the World Editor for a plugin that does not define a help
function.
- Bug fixed: now you can only open the Test Triggers dialog if you
are connected to the world.
- Fixed a bug that cause NAWS information to be sent with each
command if the server supports it.
Changes in version 2.4.1
------------------------
- Fixed bug that caused crashes on startup with messages like this:
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x081903c0 ***
Aborted
- Bug fixed: now if two triggers match the same line, each capturing
different parts of the line with () in the regular expression, the
commands of each trigger will be run with the correct captured
parts in the $_[X] variables.
Changes in version 2.4.0
------------------------
- When using the multi-line input box, the up and down arrows behave
now more naturally: they either retrieve the previous/next command
or move the cursor. They move the cursor if you have already moved
the cursor in order to edit the line, and move through commands
otherwise.
- You can now type the start of a command and use Alt+Shift+Up and
down arrows to recall previously entered commands.
- The keyboard shortcuts for moving through worlds were wrong: now
they behave correctly: ctrl+page_down for next world and
ctrl+page_up for previous world.
- Added spell checking support to check what you type in real-time.
- Pressing ENTER when in the "host" or "port" fields of the World
Selector now works.
- Pressing ENTER when in the search box activates Find Next, and
pressing ESC closes the search bar.
- If you try to exit the program when there are open worlds, a
confirmation dialog is now displayed.
- When using the Multi-Line Send feature, you can now choose not to
close the dialog after sending.
- A new function, $world->sendfile() has been added, that allows the
contents of a file to be sent to the mud.
- Two new functions, $world->getconntime() and $world->getidletime()
retrieve the time connected and idle time, respectively.
- Now by default MCCP is only activated if the request from the
server to enable it comes at most 1 minute after the connection.
This is to prevent other users in a MUD from trying to crash your
client by sending the special sequence that turns on compression
(however, well written MUD servers will not allow players to send
such sequences). You can, however, cause MCCP to work if started
anytime, or disable it altogether.
- When Debug Matches is on, the name of triggers and aliases is now
displayed when there is a match.
- Fixed a bug that caused a crash (or at least a warning) when the
Preferences Dialog was opened a second time.
- Fixed a bug that prevented changing the input bar size when
editing a World from the World Editor.
- Fixed a bug that didn't show the status of the input bar correctly
when editing a World.
- Fixed a bug that caused a crash when very long lines were received
when compression is active.
- Fixed a bug that caused a crash when the Manual menu was selected
for the second time.
- Bug fixed: if compression is disabled during the MUD session, the
status bar and Statistics dialog now reflect that fact.
- Bug fixed: weird error messages are not shown anymore when a
connection is closed cleanly.
Changes in version 2.3.0
------------------------
- Added a feature to search the buffer for a given string.
- The input bar can now have more than one line, to ease typing long
commands.
- Added the "Edit" menu with the usual Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete.
- When you have a prompt and some command echoes text in the screen,
this text is printed above the command and not after the prompt.
- Triggers and aliases can now match case-insensitively.
- The play() function has been added. This function allows you to
play WAV files.
- It is now possible to export triggers, aliases, macros, timers,
permanent variables and hooks and import them in other worlds.
- The order of permanent variables can now be changed (but this is
only for grouping of realted variables, there is no real effect in
the world).
- The entry boxes in the Multi Line Send dialog are now 80
characters wide.
- In the editors for triggers, aliases, etc., you can now select
more than one item and delete all selected items at once.
- You can display items defined by plugins in the editors for
triggers, aliases, etc. The changes, however, are NOT made in the
plugin file.
- KildClient can now connect with SSL to servers that support Telnet
Over SSL, and the MUD session will be encrypted. (Note: this
feature can be disabled at compilation time.)
- Added the functions $world->triggerenabled(),
$world->aliasenabled(), $world->macroenabled(),
$world->timerenabled() and $world->hookenabled() to check if a -
given trigger, alias, etc. is enabled. These functions can also be
used to check for existence of triggers, aliases, etc.
- Plugins can define two functions ENABLE and DISABLE to be called
when the plugin is to be enabled or disabled, if this action
requires some extra functionality that the default actions are not
enough.
- Fixed a bug that caused macros not to be run when non-English
keymaps are used. (Thanks to Sergey Bogdanov.)
- Fixed a bug that caused the wrong number of lines that fit in the
window to be calculated (and sent to the server if NAWS is being
used) under some circunstances.
- Fixed a bug that caused a segfault when a recursive alias
definition was found. Now alias processing stops after the command
line gets too big.
- Fixed a bug that caused a segfault after a world was closed.
Changes in version 2.2.2
------------------------
- In colorize(), you can now use && and ^^ to insert a literal & or
^ character.
- URLs with username and password for authenticated login are now
detected correctly and made clickable.
- Removed some big memory leaks that caused KildClient's memory
comsumption to get very high in long sessions.
- Fixed a security bug that caused a segmentation fault when a very
long ANSI sequence was receveived.
- Fixed a bug that caused a crash when a connection was broken
abruptly (ie, not in a tidy way, generally because of a network
failure).
- Fixed a bug that caused a segfault in the Windows version when
$world->listtrigger was used and there was a trigger without an
action.
- Fixed a bug that caused text to be displayed in the wrong colors
or attributes when non-recognized ANSI sequences were received.
Changes in version 2.2.1
------------------------
- Fixed a bug that caused a crash (segfault) when trying to connect
to a World. This bug affects the Windows version.
Changes in version 2.2.0
------------------------
- KildClient has now much more complete support for ANSI codes: if
you mud server uses it, KildClient can display text underlined
(singly and doubly), in italics, striked through, in reverse video
and in hidden mode. The colorize() function has been extended to
include codes to turn on these attributes.
- KildClient now supports vt100's line-drawing mode, which allows
tables to be built with proper characters (and not +, - and |)
that look really nice. (But the server must use these characters,
naturally.)
- KildClient now supports xterm's sequences to access a 256-colour
mode instead of only the default 16. The colorize() function has
been extended to allow a way to access these additional colors so
you can use them in echoed text even if you mud server does not
use them.
- You can set some world parameters (such as fonts, colors, and
others) as defaults, and all new worlds will use these defaults
when they are created.
- You can now have more than one character for auto-login. When a
World has more than one character defined for auto-login, its
entry in the World Selector can be expanded to show all
characters and you can select which one to use for auto-login.
- Added the hability to test triggers and see how they would react
to lines sent from the MUD.
- The line count in the status bar now displays the total number of
lines received for that session, and not the number of lines in
the scrollback buffer (which never increases, once the limit is
reached).
- The Reconnect and Connect to Another menu itens now have shortcuts
(CTRL+R and CTRL+SHIFT+R, respectively).
- You can now set default values for the command group size and
delay between sending command groups (used in the Multi-line Send
and Command History dialogs) in the Preferences dialog.
- In the editors for triggers, aliases, etc, you can now delect a
line by selecting it and pressing the DEL key.
- When you connect to a world that uses MCCP, that information is
now displayed in the status bar.
- Fixed a bug that caused an infinite loop when there was an
OnSentCommand hook and two triggers matched and caused commands to
be sent.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused segfaults when "Connect to
Another World" was selected.
Changes in version 2.1.0
------------------------
- KildClient now records the time at which each line of the MUD
output was received. You can see this time by leaving the mouse
over a line of output for a brief time.
- A new dialog has been added in which you can review the command
history, send commands again, find commands, etc.
- The shortcut for moving to the next or previous world is not
CTRL+Page Up or CTRL+Page Down, respectively, but the old ones
(ALT+Right or Left arrow) still work. There are also new
shortcuts: ALT+<num> where <num> is a number from 1 to 9 will move
to the corresponding world.
- There's an option in the Advanced section of the World Editor that
allows you to skip the confirmation dialog when deleting a
trigger, alias, etc.
- The Reconnect menu item (and the $world->reconnect function) now
work even if you are connected, closing the connection and trying
to reconnect.
- Added a new hook, OnDisconnect, triggered after you are
disconnected from a World.
- Fixed a bug that caused a newline to be sent when a pure gag
trigger (one without an action) matched.
- Fixed a bug that caused you to be disconnected if a very long line
was sent by the mud.
- Fixed a bug that caused the first line of output not to be
correcty displayed in some circunstances.
Changes in version 2.0.0
------------------------
- It is now possible to add, edit, remove, plugins, triggers,
aliases, macros, timers, hooks and permanent variables using a
Graphical User Interface, accessible from the World Editor.
Dealing with Perl is not necessary anymore for that.
- Having the World Editor open does not prevent you from using the
program anymore.
- URLs in the MUD window are now more clearly marked, and pressing
the left mouse button opens them automatically. The right mouse
button still pops up a menu with an option to open it or copy the
URL's address.
- Dialog windows (especially the World Selector) now appear in the
center of the screen, and not in awkward places.
- The output from the MUD is not shown anymore in a vte widget, but
in a TextView. This should not bring any big changes, things
should still work as before with small modifications. The only
thing that has been removed is the hability to have a transparent
or image background.
- KCWin's now use a TextView also. Gnome2::Vte::Terminal is not
necessary anymore. If you used the ->{VTE} widget directly, you
will need to make some changes to you plugins. The other functions
(especially feed()) still work as before.
- Added the $world->movetrigger() function to reorder triggers, and
similar functions for aliases, times, macros and hooks.
- Fixed a bug that attributed an invalid name to some hooks.
- Bug fixed: macro names are displayed in $world->listmacro().
- Bug fixed: attempting to edit an offline World no longer crashes
KildClient.
- Corrected some problems that caused build failures for some
versions of the Perl library.
Changes in version 1.3.2
------------------------
- Bug fixed: KildClient does not segfault anymore when opening a new
world for the first time.
- Bug fixed: & and < can be used in the command separator and this
does not cause the world to stop being recognized anymore.
Changes in version 1.3.1
------------------------
- This version fix a library dependency problem. It brings no new
features and bugfixes, but if you had problems building version
1.3.0, try using this version.
Changes in version 1.3.0
------------------------
- You can now specify one or more world names in the command line,
and these worlds will be automatically opened.
- The status bar is more informative and more configurable: it can
display the time connected and/or idle, and the font can be
changed.
- When you are disconnected from a world, there is another option
you can select: Offline, to keep that window open, so that you can
review the screen, run Perl commands, etc.
- Two new function: $world->reconnect() reconnects to the world that
was open, when in offline mode. $world->connectanother() closes
the current connection (if one is open) and allows you to select
another world to connect to, using the same tab.
- The command history is now more functional, behaving similary to
the command history used in the Bash shell and other programs
using the same library. The most noticeable feature is that if you
start typing something and move to another command, the partially
typed command is not lost.
- More parts of KildClient appear translated (if there is a
translation for that language, naturally).
- The substitution of aliases can now be evaluated as a Perl
statement (using the s//e construct). See the manual for more
details.
- KildClient now identifies itself using the Telnet TERMINAL TYPE
option.
- KildClient now supports the Telnet NAWS option to inform the
server of the current window size.
- A new menu has been added: Debug Matches in the Preferences menu.
When this option is selected, information about matched triggers
and alises will be output to stderr.
- The enaXXX, disXXX and listXXX functions now support several
arguments, for example: $world->distrigger(1, 3).
- Bug fixed: when sending something to the server that contains the
Telnet IAC character, that character is now correctly escaped.
- Bug fixed: timers with names now have this name loaded correctly
upon loading a world.
Changes in version 1.2.0
------------------------
- The list of save worlds is now displayed sorted alphabetically.
- It is now possible to temporarily disable all trigger (or all
macros, or all aliases, or all timers) via the Preferences menu.
- The command separator can now be configured instead of having to
be %;. (But %; is still the default.)
- KildClient now supports MCCP (Mud Client Compression Protocol)
version 1 and 2. This protocol, supported by several servers,
compresses that sent by the server, thus reducing greatly the
bandwidth used. And this happens transparently, so the user
doesn't need to do anything.
- A new trigger mode: rewriter triggers. Rewriter triggers run
before normal triggers and can change the received line, so that
further triggers work on the changed line.
- Hooks work now more similary to triggers, aliases, etc: for each
event, you can connect any number of hooks, and later edit them,
disable them, etc. This is mainly for the use of plugins that want
to define hooks. There have been some changes in the functions
that deal with hooks. Also, a new hook has been added:
OnSentCommand, run after each sent command.
- When a plugin is unloaded (that is, when the world that loaded it
is closed, KildClient will call the plugin's UNLOAD function
automatically.
- New functions, $world->getname(), $world->getmainfont() and
$world->getentryfont() that return the name of the world, the main
window font, and the command entry font, respectively.
- New functions, getversion() and $world->getpluginversion() to
return the version of KildClient or of a given plugin.
- A new stardard helper plugin, KCWin, meant to be used in other
plugins that require a little window for input and output.
- A new standard plugin, notes, to associate notes with a world.
- A new standard plugin, easypath, makes using paths easier.
- A new plugin allows peer to peer chat with other users or
KildClient or of other compatible clients that implement the
MudMaster or zChat protocols.
- Fixed a bug when it was not possible to connect to the first world
tried when the program was started. (It used to pop two World
Selector dialogs).
- Fixed a bug that caused a crash when the user tried to enable or
disable a plugin that was not loaded.
Changes in version 1.1.2
------------------------
- Bug fixed: pressing up arrow to retrieve the last command now
correctly retrieves it in all cases.
- Bug fixed: the anti-flood mechanism now works correctly even with
multiple open worlds.
- Bug fixed: some worlds were marked with new text and not be
unmarked when focused, this does not happen anymore.
- Bug fixed: the Preferences dialog now displays correctly when
opened.
- Bug fixed: avoided duplicate creation of plugin timers when the
plugin is loaded from a script file.
- Bug fixed: when the MUD sends lot of text at once, KildClient does
not lock until all the text has been received, and does not show
it all at once anymore.
- Bug fixed: $world->setstatus() now correctly works even if the
window does not have the focus when the function is called.
- Bug fixed: when deleting a world, all its files are deleted, not
only the .wrl file.
- Bug fixed: when the last world is disconnected, "Connect to
another world is selected" and then "Cancel" is clicked, the
program now exits correctly instead of keeping an open window.
- The check for trigger (done for each received line) and for
aliases (done for each typed command) should be faster now, as
some optimizations regarding that have been done.
Changes in version 1.1.1
------------------------
- Some changes regarding plugins:
* The format for the plugin file has been slightly changed (there
is no need to enclose the file in a block now). Plugins will
have to be changed, but this change should be very easy to do.
* If the plugin cannot be loaded by some reason (syntax error, it
requires a non-existent Perl module, etc), loadplugin() will not
consider the plugin as loaded anymore.
* Similar to the above, if die() is called in a BEGIN block in the
plugin file, the loading of the plugin can be aborted. This can
be used to test for some condition and abort the loading if that
is not met.
* A function has been added, $world->requireplugin, that is
similar to loadplugin(), but first checks if the plugin is
already loaded. If it is, it returns successfully. If not, it
tries loading the plugin (silently). If this succeeds, the
function returns successfully, if not, it die()'s. This function
is useful in plugins that require other plugins, and is meant to
be called in a BEGIN block of a plugin that requires another.
- Hyperlinks that appear in the MUD window can now be open in a web
browser (or other program), or have they URLs copied, by clicking
the right mouse button over them.
- The keys for moving between worlds are now Alt+Left or Right
arrow, because Ctrl+these arrows is used to move between words in
the command entry box.
- Corrected bug that caused the About dialog to be displayed only in
the first time it was requested.
Changes in version 1.1.0
------------------------
- There is now support for plugins, which are Perl scripts that add
new functionality to the client. Plugins can define functions,
triggers, timers, macros, aliases, etc.
- Triggers, aliases, macros and timers can be given names. These
names can be used when enabling, disabling and deleting them.
Several triggers (or aliases, macros, timers) can have the same
name. In this case, a group is formed, and operations for
enabling, disabling and deleting them work on all of them at once.
- The World Selector dialog now starts with the last open world
selected.
- There are menu entries for moving between worlds. The shortcuts
Ctrl+Left Arrow and Ctrl+Right Arrow can also be used.
- Added the getwindowsize() function to return the size of the
window, in characters.
- Added the $world->commandecho() function to set or get the value
of the command echo option of the world.
- Added the $world->sendecho() and $world->sendnoecho() functions
that behave just as $world->send(), but which never or always,
respectively, echo the sent commands.
- Added the Esperanto translation.
- Some bugs fixed.
Changes in version 1.0.0
------------------------
- This is the first public release.
