BYOND 5.0 Version 501 Release Notes

Build 501.1214

Fixes (More Info)

Dream Seeker

Key-up macros belonging to the default window would fire when a child window had focus, even if no corresponding key-down had fired for the default window. (Ter13)

When all animations ended, sometimes the map didn't update for the very last step. (Bandock)

Maptext did not forcibly wrap by breaking up a long word when it was too big for the given width. (Dj dovis)

Features (More Info)

DM Language

atom.blend_mode has been added, which will allow users to switch to additive, subtractive, and multiplicative blending for icons. Overlays can have a different blend mode than the main icon if desired. This feature appears in hardware rendering mode only.

Dream Seeker

An experimental multithreading feature has been added, for Dream Seeker only. This decouples the server and client threads, so that user interface interaction shouldn't slow down the server (or vice-versa) on most systems.

If you need to disable this feature, add "threads off" to cfg/seeker.txt in your BYOND user data directory.
