Finally got around to a new release.
Major points:
I simplified the monitor script
some debugging code to help with MSP and mudclients, to help out
gnome-mud as well
Sitebanned IPs are now hard-forbidden for connection attempts
Siteban messages can now be delegated to the connectio manager
A full rebuild feature that nukes all inheritables AND orphaned
objects without source, and recompiles everything else
Caveats:
Please read the UPGRADE notes
Objects having multiple archetypes is now officially deprecated and
will be banned in a future release
git://github.com/shentino/kotaka
Shortlog:
Forgot to update safe versions list
Version 0.48.1
Simplify the monitor script, all of the script's own signals are
exiters anyway.
Add fill handler for clouds
The walk command requires us to know if an object is solid or not
Update copyright dates, muck out old years
Reorganize README
Small update to qsort in case we care about future stable sorting
Add test for sorting library
Add notes about next upgrade nuking and compiling saveload
Destruct saveload during next upgrade
Rewrite saveload
Small bugfix: Handle case in saveload where we attempt to purge
an objdir that is already gone
fixup test: Forgot to include a header
Make sure monitor script redirects stderr in the correct directory
When flushing logs, rotate the log BEFORE it hits 1GiB
Remove a global variable from logd
Move cd before exec in hotboot script
More prominent highlight of an aborted hotboot
Remove obsolete command in monitor script
Multiple archetypes are officially deprecated
Clarify what an api change actually means
Elaborate on the deprecation process for multiple archetypes
Rewrite dumpd to be more simple
Set new dumpd to make a dump every hour, with a full one every day
Add symlinks to documentation
Fix includes in archetype deprecation
Don't forget to tell IntermudD to actually listen when we enable
I3 on a channel
Have IntermudD listen to channels on bootstrap when a newly
discovered channel is registered as I3 on ChannelD
Small cleanup of loop in IntermudD
Remove spurious variable
Have chlist command distinguish I3 channels
Add file utility library
Load TLSD before ObjectD
Load ErrorD in System core
Rename boot_error to log_boot_error in InitD for greater clarity
Disable MSP if told to do so by the client
Add debugging code for MSP
Add debugging code in mudclient for unknown telnet options in general
Add variable for general debug
...forgot to reenable actually sending the telnet options when I
added debugging...
Refine I/O logging a bit
Increase Intermud ticks limit
Reject attempts to connect to a malformed IP address
Forbid attempts to connect to a sitebanned IP address
Rewrite StatusD
Add a full rebuild in System's SubD
/misc/grid.c was an LWO, move it to /misc/lwo/grid.c to restore
create function argument list
Don't print a report (or continue the callouts) if StatusD has
been disconnected
Don't forget to include account.h, if outbound connections check
the siteban list they need access to BAND :P
When doing a full rebuild, only report interesting things, like
destruction of orphans or compilations of new non inheritables
Tighten up gaps when reporting sitebans and overloads...and make
sure that blacklisted IPs leave plenty of room for good people
Refine logging of inbound and outbound user messages, also
remove spammy InitD message
Add ~Text/LogD, to handle the forwarding to LogD
Add fullrebuild verb
Refactor logging code
Save sitebans AFTER ejecting banned connections
When having System::UserD close a sitebanned connection, give
the connection manager a chance to handle it
Have Text send a siteban message to a sitebanned connection.
Also, sitebans look cooler with bright red text
Restore relation system but stash it in /misc
Simplify Text::InitD
Access control for Text::UserD->siteban_notify
Rewrite call_other interceptor to provide richer debug information
When doing a full rebuild, (re)compile the initds first
Remove old versions from safe_upgrade_versions
Version 0.49
