Message

I am pleased to release version 4.03 of MUSHclient. See the release notes for more details.

Warning - This version had a bug causing a crash when plugins were closed. It has been removed from the downloads area. Please upgrade to version 4.04 now. See Crash in version 4.03.

Improvements

  • A few scripting improvements.
  • You can now find the MUSHclient startup directory with GetInfo (68).
  • Upgraded Lua to Lua 5.1.2.
  • Upgraded PCRE (regular expression handler) from 4.3 to 7.0.
  • Spell checker enhancements: IGNORE_MIXED_CASE and IGNORE_IMBEDDED_NUMBERS as options.
  • Hopefully removed a message about "Unable to register as an OLE server" under Windows XP.
  • Fixed a problem where the spell checker initialization would cause problems, like not being able to connect to worlds in the startup list.
  • Modified the way relative paths are handled for log files, world files, and plugins.
  • Added the "bc" (big number) library to the Lua script engine.

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.
