I am pleased to release version 4.60 of MUSHclient. See the release notes for more details.
Improvements
- Upgraded SQLite3 library from 3.7.0.1. to 3.7.2
- Fixed some bugs and tidied up code.
- Fixed bug where on a new installation, the default state file was incorrectly assigned to be in the MUSHclient execution folder.
- When saving a plugin's state, it now checks that the state folder exists, and if not offers to let you either find or create it.
- Improved the "directory picker" to have a more modern GUI.
- Added Lua_Sapi.xml plugin to the distribution. This lets you do text-to-speech using Lua.
- Added utils.sendtofront and utils.shellexecute script functions to the Lua script space.
- Added LuaCOM into the code (so you can access COM objects from Lua).
- Added LuaSocket to the distribution (so you can access web pages, etc.)
- Fixed bug where if you created a new world, and went to save it the suggested directory to save in could be wrong.
- Added the module sandbox.lua to the distribution.
- Added the module show_loaded.lua to the distribution.
- Changed the way Lua is initialized.
- Added script function SetScroll - this lets you show or hide the scroll bar for the output window.

You are strongly advised to backup (make a copy of) your existing MUSHclient world files before upgrading. Just in case.
If there are any problems, please post messages to the Bug Reports, Suggestions, or General parts of this forum.
MD5 sum for the installer
If you do an md5sum on mushclient460.exe you should get this result:
13ecb47bf91db30a5910d11457d53d8d
The forum post a small script to sumcheck the MUSHclient download shows how you can write a small script in MUSHclient to do the sumcheck. It also lists some places you can download md5sum.exe to do the sumcheck (if this is the first time you have downloaded MUSHclient).
One way of doing an md5sum is to download the Installer_sumcheck plugin from the Plugins page (RH click that link and "save link as" to get the plugin). Then install the plugin (see the File menu -> Plugins) and type "md5sum" which lets you browse to the installer file, load it, and display the sumcheck.
Message about "Failed to load resources file"
Some users are reporting getting a message like "Failed to load resources file: C:\Programme\MUSHclient\locale\DE.dll - trying English file" when starting MUSHclient (the DE.dll part might be another language like FR.dll).
This will be because you have customized the "locale" of MUSHclient to other than EN (English).
See the How to localize MUSHclient messages into other languages forum posting for more details about localization.
To fix this, find the directory you installed MUSHclient into (eg. "C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\") and then locate the subdirectory "locale". In that you will find a file en.dll. Copy or rename that file to match the missing file in the message (eg. copy en.dll to de.dll).
Alternative suggestion: Go into the File menu -> Global Preferences -> General, and change the field "Locale code" back to "EN" (English) and then it should look for EN.DLL next time.
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. Note: Since version 3.80 was released, the version of Lua has been upgraded. It is currently 5.1.4. Some versions (versions 4.49 to 4.52 of MUSHclient) may incorrectly report they are using Lua 5.1.1 when you open a world.
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 quite a few years ago (May 2002), so people who have recently installed MUSHclient should not have any problems.
Source code
The source code for this version is available from GitHub:
http://github.com/nickgammon/mushclient/tree/v4.60
You can directly download the source from the Downloads page (http://github.com/nickgammon/mushclient/downloads), or preferably install Git and use the appropriate commands to clone or pull the source. For some suggestions about getting the source from Git see MUSHclient source being made available on GitHub forum posting.
If you install Git, subsequent downloads (of new versions) will be much faster as it only needs to download the changes, not the whole source. Also by using Git you can find out exactly what has changed from version to the next.
