I am pleased to release version 4.92 of MUSHclient. See the release notes for more details.

Improvements

• Fixed bug in WindowRectOp where doing a flood-fill to a line, or of a surface, would not let you specify a fill colour.
• If loading a world file fails due to some problem in the XML format, the offending line number is now reported.
• Fixed bug where if you set a custom world title with SetTitle, and then saved the world file, the custom title would revert back to the default title.
• Fixed bug where if the server sent IAC DO NAWS then the client would turn NAWS on, even though it did not respond IAC WILL NAWS.
• Added option to log Lua scripting errors to a log file.
• Added option to omit the date from "world" files when saving them.
• Added check in program initialization that the the global preferences file "mushclient_prefs.sqlite" is writable. If not, the program exits.
• Updated PCRE (regular expression) library from 8.33 to 8.35.
• Updated SQLite3 (database) library from 3.8.0.2 to 3.8.4.3.

Download

You can view the release notes for version 4.92

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.

If you do an md5sum on mushclient492.exe you should get this result:

3833dcf4701ef0c48a52d94e4b9a08a7

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.

Source code

The source code for this version is available from GitHub:

http://github.com/nickgammon/mushclient/tree/v4.92

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.
