                    JOURNAL FOR SUNDAY 30TH OCTOBER, 2016
______________________________________________________________________________

SUBJECT: Last update before release
   DATE: Sun 30 Oct 13:35:24 GMT 2016

As the subject says this is the last update to the public dev branch before
the first official release of WolfMUD.

This update includes a fix for extra whitespace that was being added by the
new state script method.

I've also spent a lot of time going over the Zinara zone file. The Zinara zone
was originally written over 20 years ago, and it showed.

I have also decided not to translate the line endings for the Windows binary
distributions. Instead I am advising Windows users that they can view the
files in a web browser if needed and that editing should be done via a proper
text editor[1]. Why did I do this? Because I wanted to distribute the files as
they are in the Git repository. Otherwise Windows users could have unexpected
issues if they updated from the WolfMUD Git repository in the future.

There is also some new documentation for WolfMUD. So far I have documented all
of the configuration settings, how to run the server and how to compile and
run the server from the source code. I hope to have all of the attributes
documented for zone files as well - working on it!

There is also a new SAY command so that players can talk to each other ;)

The above changes have just been pushed to the public dev branch.

Only 1 day left till Halloween... /\oo/\
