                    JOURNAL FOR FRIDAY 27TH DECEMBER, 2013

SUBJECT: A belated public dev update!
   DATE: Fri 27 Dec 21:36:12 GMT 2013

Just pushed out some commits to the public dev branch which introduces the new
front end drivers. These replace the current 'parsers' at long last.

I did hope to also have the new account driver included in the latest update
but due to it being Xmas, family matters, extreme storms - mainly wind and
rain leading to downed trees, flooding, very difficult travel, power cuts and
a lot of other things it's not quite completed yet. However I do believe these
updates fix all of the current login and logoff issues at long last.

It is a shame the account driver was not finished. The account driver will let
you actually create new accounts/players. It was also this functionality I was
wanting to complete before the next release - PROTOTYPE3.

Once that is done I plan on sorting out how 'things' are implemented and how
command processing is done. This relates back to the epiphany I had back in
August[1]. Once all that has been done, some code clean up and documentation
where needed I might actually be ready for a proper version 0.1 release[2].

Now I am back at the keyboard again there is an article for the site I am
working on and needs to be ready for new year. Then I'll try and complete the
account driver.

Maybe I'll have time to squeeze in one last post before the end of 2013.

  [1] For August see ../8/index.html

  [2] Version numbering scheme not decided on yet. But it will probably be
      along the lines of major.minor.bugs after the PROTOTYPE releases.
