290 Release Notes

• Fixed: opened "Lib" files were sometimes not appearing in the correct place. (Deadron)

• Fixed: #include files weren't being correctly referenced through the Package Files... creation process. (Deadron)

• Fixed: project preferences were being stored in the wrong place in the .dme file, possibly causing inconsistencies. (Pmikell)

• Fixed: a problem restoring object appearances was sometimes causing overlays/underlays to get messed up on reload from a savefile. Also fixed a problem with associative lists. (Deadron and others long ago)

• Fixed: there was a memory leak in the networking code. Long lived servers that handle many client connections should be much more stable now.

• User-defined variables of the client object were not getting initialized properly when overridden. Example: client var/myvar = 3 ... myvar = 2 //this was not having any effect

• You can now assign icons at run-time to an external file, which will be automatically loaded into the resource cache at that point. Example: usr.icon = file("test.dmi")

• Fixed: there was a crash that was happening upon deletion of objects. (Shadowdarke)

• Fixed: a sequencing problem with flick("icon state") where changing the object's icon immediately before the flick() was resulting in the old icon being used rather than the new one. This was also causing problems when dealing with recycled objects. (Spuzzum)

• Fixed: Empty "else" clauses were sucking in statements farther down in the code. That no longer happens and the compiler issues a warning as well. (Deadron)
