I am pleased to release version 4.76 of MUSHclient. See the release notes for more details.
Improvements
- Added a 7th argument to the Hyperlink function (for Lua scripting only). If true, the underline is omitted. The default is false.
- Fixed bug where NoteHr() would not draw anything.
- Fixed bug where NoteHr line would draw through timestamps.
- Added SQLite3 database (help.db) to MUSHclient installation directory. This is a database of all the contents of the help file (The database the help is generated from).
- The AcceleratorTo script function now remembers which plugin called it (by plugin ID).
- Fixed bug where if you hit Enter very quickly (eg. by holding it down) and you had "repeat on same line" checked, the repeating might fail and the command window cleared.
- Got rid of dialog "Preload world defaults from an existing world?" when creating a new world file.
- Fixed bug in telnet negotiation, where after receiving an IAC DONT x and sending an IAC WONT x, it did not properly handle a subsequent IAC DO x.
- Changed movewindows.lua module to allow you to specify initial coordinates for the window.
- If the mouse is over a hotspot after it was created then a mouse-move event is generated.
- Upgraded SQLite3 from 3.7.6.3 to 3.7.7.1.
- Upgraded PNG library from 1.5.2 to 1.5.4.
- Added "filter prepare" function to utils.filterpicker.
- When editing triggers, aliases or timers, pressing Alt+Enter now opens the "Send" box editor.
- Added new plugin MUSHclient_Help. This is an example of reading the help database (as described above) and displaying the help content in the output window.
- When opening a world file which has plugins, a progress dialog box is displayed while the plugins are loading, to show the rate at which they are loading.
Warning!
This version has a bug in the way it handles adding hotspots in miniwindows. You are advised to use version 4.77 onwards instead.

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 mushclient476.exe you should get this result:
f90a0c4143cce6d1337b6ec281c37b39
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 (September 2006)
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 (May 2002)
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/v4.76
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.
