I am pleased to release version 4.20 of MUSHclient. See the release notes for more details.

Improvements

• Fixed bug when writing out world files for locales that use a comma as a decimal-place separator.

If you do not use a non-English locale (eg. German, Dutch) there is no point in downloading version 4.20 if you already have version 4.19.

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.

The only relevant change to the source code (apart from the version number) is to replace the function Save_XML_double in xml_save_world.cpp with the following one:

void Save_XML_double    (CArchive& ar, 
                       const char * sName, 
                       const double & fNumber,
                       const bool sameline)
  {
  CString strNumber = CFormat ("%.2f", fNumber);
  strNumber.Replace (",", ".");    // don't want any blasted commas!

  Save_XML_string (ar, 
                   sName, 
                   FixHTMLString (strNumber), 
                   sameline);

  } // end of Save_XML_double
