- 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.
-
- 2.1 beta 1 (9/22/92)
- --------------------
- Added LOGIN hook for user-definable autologin format.
- Added logging by world, with "-lig" and "-w[<world>]" options to /log.
- Hooks are more like triggers: multiple hooks allowed, arguments must match
- pattern (using priority). See /help hooks.
- The helpfile, ~/.tfrc, and files read by /load may be stored compressed.
- Keybindings are now macros. Added "-b" option to macro commands. Removed
- builtins /keys, /listbind, /purgebind, /savebind, and /loadbind.
- Added BAMF and SHELL hooks.
- Rewrote nonblocking connect, the right way (for systems that support it).
- Disabled by default. See the INSTALLATION file.
- Added redirected output for /quote and /repeat with -w option.
- "/world <host> <port>" defines a temporary world and connects to it.
- Added local command quoting (/quote `).
- Argument substitution: Added %{} syntax; braces act as delmiters, so
- spaces are allowed. All arg subs can have default values. (See /help
- expansion).
- 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.
- Faster macro lookup.
- Improved standard library and helpfile.

- ----------
-
- 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"
-
