Gammon Forum

I am pleased to release version 4.97 of MUSHclient. See the release notes for more details.

Improvements

• When an error occurs in a trigger script, the offending text of the matching line is now displayed. (Suggested by Fiendish).
• Improvement to the Calculator plugin, such that small numbers are also shown without an exponent.
• Allow for carriage-return or newline to be inside an MXP entity (eg. 
)
• Allow plugins to have a negative sequence number. If a plugin has a negative sequence number triggers and aliases in it are evaluated before the main world triggers and aliases. (Suggested by Fiendish).
• Upgraded PNG library to version 1.6.17
• Upgraded SQLite3 library to 3.8.8.3

Download

You can view the release notes for version 4.97

You are strongly advised to backup (make a copy of) your existing MUSHclient world files before upgrading. Just in case.

If there are any problems, please post messages to the Bug Reports, Suggestions, or General parts of this forum.

If you do an md5sum on mushclient497.exe you should get this result:

86cb07bc7bbb81c908072338c2f92f1a

The forum post a small script to sumcheck the MUSHclient download shows how you can write a small script in MUSHclient to do the sumcheck. It also lists some places you can download md5sum.exe to do the sumcheck (if this is the first time you have downloaded MUSHclient).

One way of doing an md5sum is to download the Installer_sumcheck plugin from the Plugins page (RH click that link and "save link as" to get the plugin). Then install the plugin (see the File menu -> Plugins) and type "md5sum" which lets you browse to the installer file, load it, and display the sumcheck.

Source code

The source code for this version is available from GitHub:

http://github.com/nickgammon/mushclient/tree/v4.97

You can directly download the source from the Downloads page (https://github.com/nickgammon/mushclient/archive/master.zip), or preferably install Git and use the appropriate commands to clone or pull the source. For some suggestions about getting the source from Git see MUSHclient source being made available on GitHub forum posting.

If you install Git, subsequent downloads (of new versions) will be much faster as it only needs to download the changes, not the whole source. Also by using Git you can find out exactly what has changed from version to the next.
