Mamnuts 1.6

Mamnuts 1.6 has been released, and can be downloaded here.

The Changelog:
  • Now there are helpfiles in English or Portuguese. The default is English, but you just have to change the config file to point out to the Portuguese support. Thanks to NomadWolf for helping with the translation. If you know any other language and want to contribute with translations, we'll gladly accept your help and include them!
  • user->recap now resets the terminal colours. That will make an usefull use of user->recap and user->bw_recap in a way that you'll never need to escape colours to do whatever you want.
  • .read shows user->recap instead of user->bw_recap .
To Do:
  • v1.7: Remove smail related code: .smail .rmail and such commands AND everything that sends or uses it's code.
  • v1.8: Implement a SpamGuard system. Better yet, if time lets me do it, implement something like Uzume suggests in here.
  • v1.9: Fix #36: Revert "multi-line paste" changes. It will reduce usability but fix a security issue.
  • v2.0: Fix the charset issues with non-ASCII chr()'s. This mean implementing a proper telnet support, or, at least, filter those characters aund bind thrm to static printouts.

TODO

I should get rid of all the mail system on Mamnuts (to 2.0 version) and design an alternative (to 2.1). The actual system is utterly broke. The problem is that this is not some easy task: removing the mail commands won't suffice, events that trigger mails (like promoting an offline user) must be also checked.

[EDIT:]

For 2.0 also, a Spamguard should be done.

Mamnuts 1.5

Mamnuts 1.5 has been released, here's the Changelog:

  • Spodlist was utterly broken for some compilers, so it was removed.
  • Description length is now variable with the maximum name length.
  • Grep user was somewhat broken in the presentation layer, so it was removed.
  • The clear screen function now does the right thing and sends the clear screen escape character. Since not every "telnet client" supports it (shame on them!) the character is still preceeded by a flood of new lines (more, this time), so nobody looses .cls functionality.

Next version will hopefuly be 2.0.

Mamnuts 1.4

Mamnuts 1.4 has been released, fixing a Netlinks bug.

Next version will hopefuly be 2.0.
