Same problem on prompts longer than a line. + * Fixed #prompts to fully work also on prompts received inside + a set of newline-terminated lines. + * Documented #prompt, #capture and #movie to work only for + the main MUD connection + +Changes from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 23 Jul 1998 + * Renamed `movie_play' to `movie'. Will do the replay if invoked as + `movie_play' and will convert to ASCII if invoked as `movie2ascii' + * Fixed a 1.1.1 bug that could cause a lot of missed binds. + * Finished adding ANSI prototypes. Renamed some files and remixed + some code in the process. + * Removed -DUSE_TERMIO. If you used it, no problem. + If you didn't use it, you must now add -DUSE_SGTTY. + * Fixed a few compiling problems on OSF1 and other systems + with really annoying compilers. + * Fixed missing sig_oneshot on systems without SA_ONESHOT + * Fixed input of chars with high bit set (again). + +Changes from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 21 Jul 1998 + * Variable names are now expressions too. This means that + @("foo"+"bar") is the variable @foobar. + * Added `just in time' substitution: ${varname} @{varname} and #{expr} + Not yet implemented for regexp patterns, sorry. + This introduces a subtle incompatibility with older versions, + as now also text coming from $n substitution gets unescaped. + Sorry again. (see powwow.doc for details). + * #action and #prompt did not work when using an expression + as pattern. Now fixed. + * Fixed small bug in anonymous actions. Someone still using them? + * powwow_help renamed powwow.help + * Fixed a bug in #alias: $1..$9 all contained the first word ($1) + * Fixed math operators . : .? :? .< .> <. >. :< :> <: >: which + segfaulted on empty strings (bug introduced in 1.1.0) + * Made SIGINT signal handler non-permanent to allow interrupting + system calls like connect().

To open a new connection you must + give at least one argument, for example #connect main. + * Changed edit function &redraw-line not to clear prompt. + Use &redraw-line-noprompt to get the old behaviour. + * Added #movie command to record all output from the MUD + and local commands to a file, adding timestamps to allow replay + at correct speed. Also added `movie_play' standalone program + to actually do the replay. + +Changes from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 16 Jun 1998 + * The wildcard `$' now correctly matches single words only + both in #actions and in #marks. + It was (again!) matching also multiple words like `&' + * Fixed up attr and noattr math operators, which broke in 1.1.0 + * Added workaround for buggy terminals which create empty lines with + coloured background when using #hilite <whatever> on <colour>. + Must compile with -DBUG_ANSI to enable it. + +Changes from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 11 Jun 1998 + * Added some changes from 1.0.1 that didn't go in 1.1.0. + The 1.0.x and the 1.1.x trees are indipendent... + * Wrote a memmem() replacement for systems that don't have it. + * Decreased CPU usage when receiving lots of text from the terminal + (for example using cut-n-paste) + * Continued adding ANSI prototypes. + +Changes from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 20 May 1998 + * Splitted 1.0.x and 1.1.x source trees. + * Started adding ANSI function prototypes. + Old K&R compilers still work. + * Removed all size limits in all strings, text lines and variables. + Also allowed '\0' (ASCII zero) in strings. + It was a _huge_ task! Probably messed up all and everything. + * Side effect of the above: lines of arbitrary length received from + the MUD should now work perfectly (at least as long as you have + enough memory) + +Changes from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 18 May 1998 + * Changed name of some files (Changelog, Hacking, Compile.how, + Config.demo) + * Fixed #capture and #record to save text from main connection only. + * Fixed a buffer overrun in $last_line when receiving lines longer + than 1024 chars. Hopefully lines up to 4095 chars will now work. + * Fixed message "Creating %s" when creating a new definition file. + * Added `catrw' standalone mini-program for splitting powwow output + in multiple windows (quick tutorial in powwow.doc, section #write) + * Added #rebindall and #rebindALL + +Changes from 0.9.9 to 1.0.0 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 13 May 1998 + * Disabled NAGLE for tcp connections (set TCP_NODELAY option) + which should hopefully increase performance during lossy conditions + (idea and code contributed by Finne Arne Gangstad) + * Cleaned up error handling. Powwow tries really hard to report + any system call error, quitting only when there is really no hope. + Anyway, if you get a '#system call error' message, you should + seriously consider quitting as soon as possible since either + the connection is messed up or your system is running + out of resources. + * Removed extra newline after prompt bug when in #option -compact mode, + introduced in 0.9.7 + * Fixed $last_line to contain last non-empty line from the MUD. + * Updated config.demo with definitions for time-inside-prompt + and other things. + +Changes from 0.9.8 to 0.9.9 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 12 May 1998 + * Changed rx.h to regex.h in includes + * Fixed behaviour on prompts and lines received in multiple packets: + 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 sometimes print garbage. + * Added some flush()es in the code to cope with the new + terminal I/O buffering. + +Changes from 0.9.7 to 0.9.8 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 11 May 1998 + * Fixed compile problems on AIX (got out of sync). + * Fixed a stupid bug that caused all actions to be regexp + (introduced in 0.9.7) + * Introduced a more efficient terminal I/O buffering. + +Changes from 0.9.6 to 0.9.7 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 11 May 1998 + * Increased stability when receiving extremely long lines (>1024 bytes) + The fix is only partial, powwow can still crash on lines slightly + shorter than 4096 bytes when a lot of #marks are used. + * Cleaned up the names of various #defines + In particular, USETERMIO is now USE_TERMIO and + TELNETBUG is now BUG_TELNET + * Added #option autoprint, to automatically print lines matched + by #actions. + * Added #spawn command. + * Added #prompt command. Just like #action, but matches both on + prompts and on normal text. + * #actions now work differently on prompts: + prompts are not matched immediately against #actions, + but only after a \n arrives from the MUD, just in case they are + actually normal lines received in multiple packets and not prompts. + + Thanks to the this change, powwow behaves better on lines received + in two (or more) packets. + See the file powwow.doc, section `#prompt' for the gory details. + +Changes from 0.9.5 to 0.9.6 + (Gustav Hållberg, Massimiliano Ghilardi) 16 Oct 1997 + * Fixed a nasty security hole in MPI messages + * Fixed handling of \; at the end of a command + * Fixed some other problems: + short messages from MUD could interfere with remote editing, + #bind escape sequences containing \0 were incorrectly printed/saved + +Changes from 0.9.4 to 0.9.5 + (Gustav Hållberg, Massimiliano Ghilardi) 18 Sep 1997 + * Continued code cleanup + * Allowed aliases starting with `#' + * Removed #speedwalk, #info, #echo, #keyecho, #compact and #debug + and turned them into #options: `#option echo' and so on. + For compatibility, `#echo' is aliased to `#option echo' and so on. + * Fixed a dangerous bug making cursor jump to start of typed text + when receiving a line that wraps. The bug appeared in 0.9.4, + so blame Gustav ;) + * Fixed an old bug making powwow sometimes miss a bind + * Made the command from a bound key appear with `#hilite' setting + * Made a DEFAULT_HELP_DIR define in powwow.c + * Changed to from ' ' to ` ' in some messages + +Changes from 0.9.3 to 0.9.4 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 04 Sep 1997 + * Included all the huge changes made by Gustav Hållberg: + I really have no time to double-check them all. + If something works in 0.9.2 but is broken in 0.9.4, + you know who to bother :) + * Small esthetic changes in the source, no effects on executable + * Changed identifier for regexp #actions from ']' to '%' + +Changes from 0.9.2 to 0.9.3 (Gustav Hållberg) 11 Aug 1997 + * Fixed so packets ending with \r*\n\r* set promptstr to "" + * Made all signal handlers permanent (sig_permanent) + * Debugged and reinstalled #option (it was commented out for some + obscure reason (Massimiliano: I never finished it...)), + allowing storage of command history and word + completions in the savefile. Added the 'exit' option to allow + powwow to autoexit when the last connection closes + * #echo, #info, #wrap and #debug now get saved in the savefile + * Made repetitive use of &complete-word and &complete-line cycle + through possible completions + * Made a memory-safe strdup (called str_dup) + * When starting a child viewer/editor, that process' TITLE + environment variable is set to something appropriate (?) + * Regular expressions (Extended POSIX regexp) + available for actions; uses GNU rx. + * Actions with label "" forbidden + * Added the #delim command to change word delimeter mode + * Whenever main_conn changes permanently, linemode is set to 0 and + promptstr to "" + * Fixed a crashy bug in the >: operator + * Fixed the notorious extra-space-on-insert bug (both 'ic' and 'im' + shall NOT be sent if you want to insert something) and a VT100 + mode bug while I was feeling creative + * Made the local editing protocol respect prompts (i.e. they get + rewritten after protocol messages are shown). After texts are sent + back to the mud, the output buffer is flushed (no more pressing + ENTER after you've stopped editing!) + * Fixed a few bugs in #mark; pattern "&" doesn't crash anymore. + Patterns with consecutive wildcards never worked, so I forbade them. + It could be implemented, but I hardly think it's worth it + * Added the ANSIBUG compiler directive to fix the bug in some terms + that show new lines in the current output attrib (screws #mark e.g.) + * Made '#connect' without parameters try to open a connection + titled 'main' to 'hostname' (if specified) if no conns are open. + The initstr from #init will be used in this case + * Added &transpose-words, &upcase-word and &downcase-word (defaults + to M-t, M-u and M-l). Repetition of the latter two changes case + of the whole line + * Changed default key names to be more emacs-like (C-b, Ret etc) + * Made #host get written to the savefile iff *hostname != 0, and + if powwow is started as 'powwow filename', without any #host in + the file, #init is ran immediately + * Fixed a bug in cmd_print() that didn't cope with $0 not being set + * Allowed \0 to be part of a bound key's escape sequence. New format + for #bind allows octal \012 be part of the string representation + of the esc seq (chars with high bit set get saved in octal now) + * Made permanent variables $last_line and $prompt + * Made "#var" without arguments list all defined named variables + +Changes from 0.9.1 to 0.9.2 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 04 Jun 1997 + * Added #keyecho command toggle echo of bound keys. + Previously, this was controlled by the generic #echo command. + * CTRL-C can now safely interrupt blocking commands like + #connect and #bind. + * POWWOWDIR is now used correctly in all cases: + not only when starting powwow with a filename but also when using + #load, #save or #file + * Changed #file syntax. Now you need = before the save-file. + Putting = alone undefines the save-file and disables autosave + when you quit. + * Cleaned up naming conventions: 'session' means editing session + while 'connection' means remote host connection. + * Fixed handling of 8 bit chars typed from keyboard + * Fixed '#reset bind' which was not reloading cursor binds + * Fixed remote host name spelling in files generated by #save. + * Fixed a bug that caused powwow to crash when failing to + connect to a mud. + +Changes from 0.9.0 to 0.9.1 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 31 Apr 1997 + * New connections opened with #connect are set as main connection. + You will have to switch back manually if you need it. + * Cleaned up multiple connection support. Better error handling. + * Cleaned up TELNETBUG support. I did not use it recently, + and was out of sync. + * Enhanced #bind syntax: now you can specify control codes + sent by your keyboard directly from the command line. + As a side effect, #exe <file now works also on files created + with #save + * Added #rebind command. Changes the control codes associated + to a key binding without changing its name or its effect. + * Added #quit command. + +Changes from 0.8.6 to 0.9.0 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) 29 Apr 1997 + * Added FreeBSD support in make_it (thanks to Jaako Knuutila) + * Cleaned up terminal interface. + * #save and #load now accept a filename as argument + * Handle SIGQUIT as SIGINT: use to stop long or infinite loops + * Now can switch main connection on the fly with ##<connection-name> + * Allow powwow #commands also on subsidiary connections + +Changes from 0.8.5 to 0.8.6 (Paolo Gatti, Massimiliano Ghilardi) 28 Apr 1997 + * Finally and definitively changed the name to powwow. + Previously, sometimes the program was referred to as pow-wow + and sometimes as powwow, generating confusion. + * Partial port of powwow to AmigaDOS. Incomplete, will NOT compile. + Paolo abandoned the project, so maybe it will just never compile. + * Fixed a bug causing extra new-lines on screen when powwow received + strange data sequences like ASCII codes 10 13 + (on DOS, new-line is 13 10, while on UN*X is 10 only) + * Fixed a bug in #mark not matching correctly the wildcard $ + * Powwow crashed #loading files containing empty lines. Fixed + +Changes from 0.8.4 to 0.8.5 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) + * Fixed a bug introduced by updating files from cancan 2.6.0b sources + (happened in version 0.8.3): powwow was sendind TWO new-line chars + instead of one immediately after every password. + +Changes from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) + * Fixed (I hope definitively) an ancient bug: + some lines were sometimes printed twice or not printed at all. + It is still the bug that appeared in version 0.4... + The bug was almost fixed in version 0.8b but reintroduced in 0.8.3 + +Changes from 0.8b to 0.8.3 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) + * Slightly changed version numbering (0.8.3 instead of 0.8c) + * #save and #load are now safe even in case of errors + (example: `disk full') + * hitting a #bind-ed key now echoes the corresponding command + only if #echo is on + * updated term.c (terminal handling code) and tel.c (telnet code) + with files from cancan 2.6.0b (yes, I shamelessly copied them) + No external changes anyway (unless I introduced some bugs) + note: beam.c NOT updated/copied + * 'follow' standalone mini-program added (see README.follow) + * #key is now explicitly stated not to support editing keys. + They cannot be added cleanly without rewriting the line-editing code + from scratch ('#key up' and '#key return' give the biggest problems) + and I don't have the time for that right now + * blink attribute added + * Now can use multiple attributes in #mark, #hilite, #color + example: #mark *An Orc*=inverse bold blue on red + Note: bold, blink, underline and inverse must appear BEFORE colors + * fixed some bugs: + * changed "VERSION" to "POWWOW_VERSION" in powwow.c. + It seems some compilers use VERSION for internal purposes... + * #wrap mode was discarding lines containing only escape sequences + (example: color codes coming from the MUD) + * #hilite was restoring hilight attributes after EVERY line + coming from the MUD + * self-recursive aliases were causing crash after 100 loops instead + of trapping error and reporting '#error: stack overflow' + (not always, and not on all OS). Now they are completely safe. + Note: they still eat 1MB of memory (10K per loop - released + immediately after) + +Changes from 0.8a to 0.8b (Massimiliano Ghilardi) + * hexadecimal numbers added (and in any other base) + can be used only from calculator, prefix is # + * '#write' command added + * fixed a bug with #nice affecting #load + now #load places actions/marks in memory in the same order as + config file, indipendently from #nice value. + Also, default #nice changes from 1 (top) to 0 (bottom) + * fixed a bug in #save that sometimes caused crashes and destroyed + config file + * now word completion (issued with TAB key) checks + word completion list _before_ built-in commands + +Changes from 0.8 to 0.8a (Massimiliano Ghilardi) + * remind me NEVER to work on Sunday, because I filled version 0.8 with + these bugs (now fixed): + - some debugging stuff was not deleted from official version + - deleting a named variable could cause a crash + - creating a named variable was giving a message even while reading + a definition file + - #settimer was not working due to a change in version 0.8 + - forgot to say that #map variable was added + * #rand, #map and #timer variables renamed rand, map and timer + (removed the #) - sorry for the change but it was necessary. + * removed limit of 50 named variables of each kind (numeric and string) + now the only limit is the memory available + +Changes from 0.7b to 0.8 (Massimiliano Ghilardi) + * #mark now accepts wildcards ($ for a single word, & for a string) + * named variables are now supported + * #assign renamed #var (I never liked the name 'assign' ...) + also, #var can be used to delete variables from memory + * #nice command added.
