Release Note for version 0.45
Featured
Updated Dec 4, 2009 by bofh69

Introduction

Version 0.45 adds a bug fix, a few customisation features, support for code page 437 as well as a command/word completion feature and support for autologin.

Detailed changelist

  • Marked text can now be copied as HTML fragments (using span with style attributes to change colour).
  • Added caching of entered commands and words and the ability to complete written commands/words with tab.
  • Added the ability to change the default foreground and background colours.
  • Added the ability to change the colour palette for colour 0..15.
  • The default character set can now be changed to UTF-8 and CP437 (for NetHack's IBMgraphics mode).
  • Made it possible to change cursor type (vertical line, underline or a block).
  • Made the first page's text be loaded dynamicly (from soiled.txt).
  • Added the ability to enter command line mode when in char-by-char mode. It is quite limited and does not work on all platforms. (Use ctrl-]) so it is not added to the documentation.
  • Added a limited auto-login feature.
  • Change the /font command to only show monospace fonts.
  • Corrected a bug where in some cases the client did not flush its output to the server.
  • The last command and line are stored in variables (but they are not useful for anything yet).
  • Added support for 39 and 49 parameters to SGR (reset foreground and background colours).
  • The UTF mode is restored to default when the terminal is reset.
  • Added support for compiling with Haxe compiler v2.04

The changes in version 0.44

Version 0.44 adds the ability to change the font and open received URLs in new windows.

Detailed changelist

  • Added a "font" command to change font.
  • By setting FONT_SIZE and FONT_NAME variables, one can change the font used during startup.
  • Soiled now supports DECOM, IRM and LNM.
  • Improved the example installation HTML.
  • The installation documentation has been improved.
  • A C-server, MCTS - the MUD Client Test Server, has been added to make it easier to test TELNET/MUD-clients.
  • Some code has been added to detect when the client has no network access due to the security model of the Adobe flash player.
  • A make target has been added to generate API-documentation from the source.
  • The code has been rewritten to be easier to understand.

The changes in version 0.43

Version 0.43 only contains a few, minor changes. It is now stable enough to play and view games at http://nethack.alt.org/

Detailed changelist

  • Added support for Reverse Index (RI).
  • Changed the HOME and END keys to work like xterm.

The changes in version 0.42

  • Change the order of the terminal names; put xterm-color first, to make it easy to use the client against public NetHack servers (and other telnetd based services).
  • Changed BACKSPACE and DELETE keys to be like VT220 (and linux console, OS X Terminal) when not in local edit mode; BS sends DEL (127), DEL sends CSI 3 tilde
  • Fixed incorrect escaping of IAC, causing 127 to be escaped instead of 255...
  • Made the initial setting of LOCAL_EDIT be settable from the flash-parameters.
  • Made LOCAL_EDIT be off if in char-by-char mode.
  • Added support for one byte CSI and OSC characters (and they work with UTF-8 too).
  • Implemented the Q-method of TELNET option negotiation to add some extra protection against option-looping when dealing with servers that don't implement the protocol correctly.
  • Optimised pasting some.
  • (Refactored the code some and split it into more classes).
