Additional Notes
- The GUEST flag signifies a player is a guest, or the room/vehicle does not accept guests.
- A "welcome" proplist on #0 now overrides the file specified by @tune file_welcome_screen.
- Actions can now be linked to NIL, as a do-nothing destination.
- Passwords are masked out in logs for server commands @newpassword, @password, and @pcreate.
- The "starterdb" database is provided. Very similar to previous database iterations, but upgraded for FB7.
- Objects can no longer be removed from the database if they are specified by a @tune.
- MUF arrays can be "pinned", meaning changes to any copy will make changed to all copies.
- Non-wizards can no longer use a restricted property in a lock.
- Several wizard-level database-modifying commands can no longer be forced.
Removed
- Support for databases earlier than Foxen8. An upgrade path for FB5 (without FB6 conversion) is being developed.
- Tools fb-announce, fb-olddecompress, fb-topwords, and optimdb.
- OUTPUTPREFIX and OUTPUTSUFFIX interface commands.
- Delta dumps, including associated server commands and @tunes.
- Partially-implemented proplist format @tunes.
- rob and kill commands, including associated @tunes. MUF equivalents are available in the fuzzball-muf archive.
- @tune enable_match_yield. OVERT and YIELD flags are now always available.
- ```
