I am pleased to release version 4.05 of MUSHclient. See the release notes for more details.

Improvements

• Fixed bug where worlds which used UTF-8 (Unicode) would raise an error when loading triggers and aliases.
• Added new getstyle.lua file, which helps find the style (eg. colour) of any character on a line.
• Added new "Insert Unicode" button to the Debug Simulated World Input dialog.
• Added new Unicode-related functions for Lua scripting.
• Fixed a couple of other bugs.

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.

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 about 5 years ago, so people who have recently installed MUSHclient should not have any problems.
