[DGD] Hello.

[Felix A. Croes]

Welcome to the DGD mailing list.  This list is unmoderated, but I will do
my best to keep out junkmail and other spam.


My plans for DGD 1.2:

 - multithreading for SMP platforms.  This will not be visible from within
   the game and will only be used to speed up the server.
 - parse_string().  I have no well-defined plans for it yet, except that it
   will "parse strings".  It will not be a substitute for parse_command()
   or the MudOS natural language parsing package, but it will be possible
   to get the same functionality with LPC code that makes use of parse_string().
 - Documentation: LPC reference manual.

Apart from the patches for stable DGD, there is also an "experimental"
version, with features such as swapfile compression.  It is available from
ftp://dworkin.simplex.nl/pub/dgd/experimental/ .  This experimental version
will eventually become 1.2, while the "stable" branch contains only bugfixes.

I am also working on a mudlib project on top of the kernel library that is
supplied with DGD 1.1.  I expect this mudlib to become the standard for new
DGD muds.  It contains a variety of features that I do not want to discuss
yet.  Sorry :)  Suffice it to say that almost no 2.4.5 concepts survive in
it.

Regards,
Dworkin
