Terminal Size Introspection
---------------------------
The MUCK is now able to query the terminal width and height using the telnet protocol, via MPI. MUF programs of MUCKER level 3 or higher may also define these values. Existing MPI functions for formatting messages now take advantage of this information.
{height} - gets the current descriptor's screen height, with an optional default.
{width} - gets the current descriptor's screen width, with an optional default.
{center} - now uses the detected screen width before defaulting to 78.
{left} - now uses the detected screen width before defaulting to 78.
{right} - now uses the detected screen width before defaulting to 78.
HEIGHT - returns the detected screen height for the given descriptor.
SETHEIGHT - sets the detected screen height for the given descriptor.
SETWIDTH - sets the detected screen width for the given descriptor.
WIDTH - returns the detected screen width for the given descriptor.
Secure Password Hash Storage
----------------------------
Player password hashes now can be stored using OpenSSL algorithms, with a fallback to the previous. Using the previous algorithm is currently a @tune-able option, set to true by default.
legacy_password_hash - use the previous MD5-based storage for password hashes
Determining Object Flags
------------------------
Additional support has been added for checking for the status of single flags.
{flag?} - equivalent to MUF's FLAG?
FLAG? - now recognizes BOUND, HIDE, SETUID, and XPRESS as aliases.
Expanded Functionality
----------------------
Some features have been extended to improve utility.
NEWROOM - now can use a #-1 parent to search the environment for ABODE rooms.
STATS - now allows programs below MUCKER level 3 to view the player's stats.
STATS_ARRAY - now allows programs below MUCKER level 3 to view the player's stats.
@set - now allows Wizards set GUEST to un-GUEST themselves.
MUF errors - now include the program name and dbref when reporting a compile error.
Consistent Logic
----------------
Some pieces of functionality have been made more consistent.
CONTENTS_ARRAY - now returns a partial list for MUCKER level 1, like CONTENTS.
ENTRANCES_ARRAY - now requires MUCKER level 3, like NEXTENTRANCE.
RMATCH - now strips ANSI, like MATCH.
create_fail_mesg - removed, as the player creation process now handles messaging.
Starter Database Fixes
----------------------
Some programs included in starterdb have been adjusted for proper usage.
cmd-lsedit - no longer crashes when referencing a line number before the first.
cmd-page - now has MUCKER level 4 permissions.
cmd-RIDE - now includes the expected action messages.
cmd-watchfor - no longer crashes when reading a stale dbref.
