Mooix is nearing the 1.0 release, and the first release candidate is out. Featuring:
mooix can now be checked out of subversion from svn://svn.mooix.net/mooix/trunk. A mooix-commits mailing list has been set up to receive automated commit messages.
mooix.net has moved to a new, faster server.
This mooix release features support for writing objects in python, and support for TinyFugue and other MUD clients. And now everyone can edit fields online using rnano.
New features in this release include a basic combat system, and a more realistic mass system. This release also adds an event notification system useful in constructing NPCs and other objects that react to events. There are many other enhancements including better tab completion, clothing, toading, and online password changing.
There are several minor security fixes in this release.
There are also some portability and perl 5.8 compatability fixes in this release and of course the everpresent bug fixes, including a fix for a very minor security problem with non-exit_ok rooms.
This release features a rewritten, easier to use, and very powerful message system with powerful filtering capabilities that make possible things like dark rooms, noisy places where it's hard to hear, blind and deaf avatars, and much more.
Other changes include consumable objects (food and drink), better benchmarking, portability improvements, perl 5.8 support, and lots of bug fixes.
This release is the product of an audit that found and fixed several security holes. It also adds builder-creatable commands and fragile objects, and features tab completion in the moo.
This release features backgroundable moo methods, an init system, clocks, a housekeeper, and a heartbeat (It's alivvve!) Also, new "exits" and "whisper" commands, easier avatar creation, improved digging, optimizations, and important bug fixes.
This release features support for ruby and object oriented shell programming. Also, optimizations, some new commands (paste and list), new objects (doors and keys), text reflowing, more documentation, bug fixes (notably: ssh and dig commands, and pasting), and pretty graphs on the web site. It has the beginnings of FreeBSD support.
Changes from the first beta include a cross-referenced online help system, many bug fixes (one quite significant), marginally better portability, support for passwordless ssh logins via the ssh command, serveral other new commands, and better documentation.
This is the first public release of mooix. After more than ten months of development, I have a usable system that is everything I'd hoped mooix would be. While this release of mooix is not quite ready to host a big MOO, it's ready for interested folks to take a look at.
