293 Release Notes

• Fixed: Dream Maker was crashing when trying to process certain #include directives. (ShadowDarke)

• Fixed: Dream Maker was getting into infinite loops when saving large maps. (WildBlood)

• Fixed: atoms & datums will now appear in Dream Maker's object-tree when "Show all nodes" is selected. (Gughunter)

• Fixed: CGI mode was bitching about a bad call to DecRefCount() after the last release.

• Fixed a problem in server-pushed files (ftp(), browse_rsc(), etc.) that was causing extra network overhead and stalls in some cases. (ShadowDarke)

• Fixed: In a case like the following where browse() was getting called with a text string as an argument, rather than a file, it was possible for the text to be displayed in the browser before the rsc file was properly installed: browse_rsc('image.jpg') browse("Here is my picture: <img src=image.jpg>")

• Fixed: Clicking on an area icon on the map used to call Click() on the overlaying turf. Now area.Click() is called. The location argument is still the turf, as it is for all Click() events on the map. (Pmikell)

• Fixed: Directional icons loaded at run-time via icon = file() were not always getting treated correctly. Also may have fixed a problem with the files being incorrectly read in text mode, which would mess things up. (Pmikell)

• Stat panels should refresh immediately now when you move between them. Before, the wrong data would occassionally appear during the refresh period. Also fixed some more stat-related bugs. Those "AddStat" and "DelStat" errors should be a thing of the past.

• Added some more crash tracing to the server & client. Those of you experiencing crashes should type ".debug trace-client" when you bootup DS and then send us the file: .../byond/users/[your_name]/cfg/trace.txt. This will tell us the last routines encountered before the program froze or crashed. You must enter the debug command each time you bootup DS if you want to turn tracing on, since it adds a lot of additional overhead.
