243 Release Notes

• Fixed: Icon-states weren't always properly generated in the map-editor. (Guy T.)

• Fixed: The "replace paths in map" dialog now uses the current (bad) paths as the defaults. (Guy T.)

• Fixed: for(X as anything in L) was not working.

• Fixed: list.Find() was generating a run-time error when the list was empty or in general if you specified a starting position beyond the end of the list. It no longer does that but simply returns 0 like one would expect. (Guy T.)

• Fixed: Verbs associated with objects in the inventory were not automatically getting removed from the verb panel when the object was removed from the inventory. (Al)

• Fixed: (theoretically) The never-ending download was caused by a switch between worlds in the middle of a download (for example from the host server to a hosted world when the host cache contained icon files). (Deadron and others)

• Fixed: The compiler was allowing statements like (usr.Move = loc) and was generating bad code that would crash the server. (Rat)

• Fixed: There was a drawing glitch that showed up when switching from lazy_eye to centered motion. (Guy T.)

• Fixed: The images array stored by the server was occassionally overflowing.

• Fixed: There was a memory overflow in the server which was responsible for unexpected crashes.

• Fixed: There was a numerical overflow bug in the server map hashing code which could have resulting in very large maps having tiny hash tables and thus sluggish performance.

• Improved the memory allocation efficiency in a number of places. Hopefully it will speed things up a bit.

• Routines operating on large maps should be a lot more optimized now. This should affect both the server and the compiler. (jmurph)

• Added "text documents" to DM. A "text document" is just like a text string except it begins with {" and ends with "}. You don't have to escape quotes or newlines inside a text document. Notice that the .dmp file format is already a big text document. You might want to use this kind of thing when building dynamic output for browse() and similar situations.

• Added a printout of the current proc's args in the proc crash diagnostics.

• Added cKey() which is just like ckey() but it preserves case.

• The icon-editor now displays the coordinate of the mouse cursor. (Guy T.)

• Dream Seeker and Dream Daemon now both have options to see the recent urls & files, ala Dream Maker. See the "Worlds" menu and URL pulldown respectively. (Gazoot)

• The default security level for Dream Daemon is now "safe". You can of course change it via the pulldown menu.
