Are there any roadmaps or similar plans for upcoming updates?

What kind of mapper? A graphic mapper, like ZMUD? While I'd also like that, I think I asked that a long time ago. Don't think its going to be put in. Can't find my topic, but read this one for another mapper:

It can be put in, make an external program and feed information to it. A mapper would be easy, since you neednt worry about two way communication, or at least, not complex two way communication.

I think he was asking (or at least, what I got from it the first time I read this) if MC had a plan for updates. Like.. version X.YYY will be released sometime in November, and it will probably include [these features].

And the answer is not really Feantur, versions are released whenever large bugs need fixing, or enough small changes have accrued, or major features are done. You can keep tabs on them by looking at the release notes for the future version. But Nick would be the ultimate authority to chime in on this.

A roadmap is a plan and not a mapper. I.e. it is maybe a list of features the author is going to implement or planning to implement in a program over a period of time (which might be featured in the roadmap, too).

Sorry for the misunderstanding I might have caused.

I thought you meant plan, not map (come to think of it, a plan is a sort of map). :)

The "bugs and suggestions" page shows what is on the database of forthcoming ideas for improvements.

The "release notes" page shows what has actually been done in the next version (at present that is 3.51).

As for when, I am currently working hard on writing a MUD server, and don't have any *immediate* plans for releasing a new version of MUSHclient in the next few weeks.

Is there some way of getting notified when a new version is released?

Go to the "news and updates" section of the MC forum, and down at the bottom there is a "subscribe" button. Subscribe yourself to any posts in that forum. Nick is the only one who can post there, and its just the updates.

Oh, that's a good idea! Thanks!
