I am pleased to release version 4.95 of MUSHclient. See the release notes for more details.

Improvements

• Added support for clicking the middle-mouse button in a miniwindow hotspot.
• Modified script functions GetMainWindowPosition and GetWorldWindowPosition to take an additional boolean argument (under Lua only) which reports the current window positions in a different way, which works better under Windows 7 if the window has been "Aero Snapped".
• Modified the Calculator plugin to have three extra functions: hex (), bin (), oct (). These let you do quick base conversions.
• Fixed problem with 256-colour ANSI sequences where under certain circumstances text would not be bolded correctly.
• Added support to AnsiNote for 256-colour ANSI sequences.
• Updated PCRE (regular expression) library from 8.35 to 8.36.
• Updated SQLite3 (database) library from 3.8.4.3 to 3.8.7.

Download

You can view the release notes for version 4.95

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 mushclient495.exe you should get this result:

6909af39895fcc6de17e912bbbb4af3c

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/v4.95

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.
