Mudlet

Mudlet is a freshly-minted MUD client, designed to take mudding to a new level.

It's a new breed of a client on the MUD scene - with an intuitive user interface, a specially designed scripting framework, and a very fast text display. Add to that cross-platform capability, an open-source development model, and you have a very likable MUD client.

Note: Now requires OS X 10.5 or later.

• Added a new option "Echo Lua errors to main console" to "Main display" preferences, enabling you to see any runtime errors with your script right in the main window
• enabled MUDLET_VERSION_BUILD environment variable to set to set the build version information
• Fixed a crash if you tried to copy a map to a profile that didn’t have one before
• Fixed a small memory leak that would happen when you edited the regex of a trigger/alias
• Fixed hideWindow() & showWindow() to work with userwindows
• Fixed logs breaking if you changed from HTML to plain text or back while it was on
• Fixed main toolbar buttons getting enabled if you clicked ‘Cancel’ in the connection dialog
• Fixed many ‘chose’ instead of ‘choose’ typos
• Fixed memory leak when copying maps between profiles
• Fixed scrpt packages typo in settings
• Fixed userwindows not being openable again after you’ve closed them with X
• Fixed xml import/export getting map room/exit sizes wrong sometimes
• function parameters accepting QStrings have been tightened to QString constant references
• Improved a lot of commented-out code and cruft has been cleaned in core code
• Improved default mapper room size is now 5, exits 10
• Improved errors defined in a script that’s called by an alias/trigger/etc will now also report the scipt name
• Improved log button now has an X over it when logging is enabled to disable buttons
• Improved QString handling to be more efficient with introduction of QLatin1String and QStringLiteral

• As part of the on-going process toward Mudlet 4.0 becoming more International and supporting languages other than English: Lua commands that accept user supplied text as arguments are gradually being reworked to gain the ability to process UTF-8 text. This and related steps are only at a preliminary stage at present but form a major component of the mile-stones on the way to the next major Mudlet release version.
• Improved startLogging() to return the log filename and the logging status
