327 Release Notes

• Fixed: command_text was not working for aliases.

• Fixed: client/Command() was getting command text with a "\r" character appended.

• Now if you define client/Command(), telnet clients may connect to the world. You can display a command prompt with client/command_prompt and you can even use alert() and input(), though there are a couple rough edges remaining.

  Note that no authentication is done. The user simply logs in as key="Telnet # @IP", where # is used to distinguish between simultaneous connections from the same IP. You can (and probably should) re-assign client.key after authenticating the user, but to avoid conflict with BYOND keys, you should include the "@" symbol somewhere in the key.

  One of the interesting things about this feature is that it parses HTML (and CSS) and displays the result on the telnet terminal, just like in Dream Seeker. Right now, it is assumed that the user has an 80 column terminal that supports ansi color codes, but eventually, this will be adjusted dynamically.

• ckey() no longer strips out the "@" character. The purpose of this is to be able to create ckey values that are not valid BYOND keys. The hubfile system also benefits from this when handling people who were invited via email address, since it is often convenient to pass the email address around as though it were a key value.
