Notation for relases pre-1.4.0 beta is not particularly accurate, and
sometimes changed code was released without updating version numbers.
I don't do this any more.
Only the most recent version will have detailed changes described.
3.0.0
-----
Installation is easier than ever.
Added examples directory.
Added conditional programming constructs: /if, /then, /elseif, /else, /endif.
Added loop programming constructs: /while /do /done, /for, and /break.
Added variables (local, global, and environment).
Added /set, /setenv, /unset, /export, and /let commands for variables.
Added math and string operations with $[...] and /test (see "expressions").
Added command substitution with $(...) (see "expansion").
Added /toggle, /expr, /:, /ismacro, /first, /last, /cd, /pwd, and /man.
Added hexadecimal and octal ascii backslash substitutions and keybindings.
Added LNEXT (^V) key function, to quote next typed character literally.
Allows macros to override builtin commands. Use "/@name" to call builtin.
Added CONFLICT and SHADOW hooks.
Wrapping in logs can be enabled by turning on the "wraplog" variable.
Supports telnet GOAHEAD and EOR commands at end of prompts ("/lp on" is no
longer required on servers which support this.)
Much improved handling of LP/Diku prompts.
Multiple '/'s in macro expansion are no longer required. Turn off "oldslash"
variable to disable all special processing of '/'s.
Added '\' escape character to macro expansion. Warning: may break old macros
with '\' in the body; turn off "backslash" variable to use old behavior.
Hilites can be defined at runtime as bold, reverse, or any other attributes
by setting the "hiliteattr" variable. Removed HILITE_BOLD compile flag.
Mail checking can controled at runtime with "maildelay" and "MAIL" variables.
Added RESTRICT options for secure public installation (see README).
Replaced many builtin commands and compile-time options with library macros
and runtime variables.
Using RECALLB and RECALLF (^P and ^N) will not erase current line.
Better support for /visual on wimpy terminals (no "cs" or "ce" termcap entry).
Supports nonblocking connect on BSD 4.3 Reno and later systems.
Expands tabs from mud and in /quote and /load input.
Handles changes in window size during /sh and suspension.
Correctly handles shell i/o redirection in "/quote !".
Added -n option to /send.
Better handling of spaces with wrapping and /wrapspace.
Fixed substitution of "normal" macros of the form "world_*".
Fixed bug in using /world or other commands in CONFAIL hook.
Fixed bug in using /world in configuration file.
Disabled /quiet when autologin is disabled.
Fixed redraw bug in nonvisual mode when gagged line is (not) printed.
Improved efficiency.
Bug fixes.
2.1 beta 2
----------
Bug fixes
2.1 beta 1 (9/22/92)
--------------------
Added BAMF, SHELL, and LOGIN hooks.
Added logging by world, with "-lig" and "-w[<world>]" options to /log.
Hooks are more like triggers: multiple hooks, argument patterns, priority.
The helpfile, ~/.tfrc, and files read by /load may be stored compressed.
Keybindings are now macros. Added "-b" option to macro commands. Replaced
builtins with macros: /keys, /listbind, /purgebind, /savebind, /loadbind.
Fixed nonblocking connect.
Added redirected output for /quote and /repeat with -w option.
Added "/world <host> <port>" semantics.
Added local command quoting (/quote `).
Improved argument substitution: %{} syntax, orthogonal default values.
Added -f<file> command line option.
Added /retry to library.
/repeat and keybinding bodies go through macro expansion.
Replaced /loadworld builtin with standard macro.
Added multi-shot triggers and hooks.
Macros stored internally in hash table.
Improved standard library and helpfile.
Bug fixes: sockmload after /dc or connection closed; /quiet for background
sockets; watchdog and watchname; transmitting to failed connecttions.
Removed /stty.
Removed need for -DHPUX.

The differences section only applies to things that need to be changed
or are not implemented in TinyFugue. Tf offers a lot more functionality
in many areas than the clients below, of course.
-------------
Differences from TinyTalk (Tarrant's client)
-------------
Compatibility is almost complete. All .tinytalk files should work
with Fugue. The /tinytalk flag (defaults to on) makes the necessary
changes to convert between tinytalk command formats to tinyfugue
command formats.
-------------
Differences from TinyWar (Grod's client)
-------------
Use /sub on to substitute %; and %\ for newlines in regular text
%n works only in macros and triggers, and in /sub full mode
/crypt and /random removed
"%2*" argument sub should be replaced by "%-1"
