                   JOURNAL FOR SATURDAY 30TH OCTOBER, 2021

SUBJECT: The big switcheroo and one last feature/bug fix
   DATE: Sat 30 Oct 20:06:29 BST 2021

I’ve finally gone and done it… :|

The Git dev branch has been cleared down, the experiment branch has been
merged into dev and the experiment branch deleted. From here on, it’s back to
the good old public dev branch :)

That’s a decade worth of coding thrown away and replaced with six months work.
You have no idea how many backups I made while clearing down and merging the
branches — just in case I screwed up :P

Once back on the dev branch I committed a fix — or rather added a missing
feature — that could potentially cause a player to lose items. If an item was
resetting in a container and the player quitted, when reloaded the Reset event
for the item was lost and the item remained disabled and unavailable to the
player :(

The fix for this was to add a missing feature whereby disabled items could be
loaded into the world with a suspended Reset event. This is a feature already
documented in docs/zone-files.txt that had not be implemented yet.

Now I’m busy writing release notes, making tarballs+zip files and getting
ready to release v0.0.19-beta.1 tomorrow ;)

The bug fix/new feature is available on the public dev branch… *happy sigh*

Halloween is tomorrow! /\oo/\
