Dec 29, 2014
  • Added #chat prefix option.
  • Added #line quiet option to silently execute commands.
  • Added @{} option to perform a function-like substitution in another session and retreive the result. Primarily useful for retreiving variables from another session.
  • Added the ** and // operator to #math to calculate the power and root.
  • The command history is automatically saved again.
  • Added SSL support based on KBTin code by Adam Borowski.
  • Added SESSION CREATED event.

New in TinTin++ 2.00.9 (Jan 3, 2013)

  • Added a #line strip option to strip color and escape codes.
  • Added SESSION TIMED OUT event.
  • Added #map exit
  • Save to store exit data in a variable.
  • Added the RECEIVED PROMPT event.
  • Added the #map flag symbolgraphics option to display the room symbol instead of a drawing symbol when in non asciigrahpics mode. Useful when mapping a wilderness world.

New in TinTin++ 2.00.5 (Jan 3, 2011)

  • Fixed a bug with embedded variables not getting properly substitued when used in nested variables.
  • Fixed a bug with the verbose state being lost when starting a new session using an alias.
  • Added the option to provide a vnum for #map delete.
  • Added the option to create vnum specific MAP events, like MAP EXIT ROOM 41 or MAP ENTER ROOM 27.
  • Fixed the MAP EXIT ROOM event, it was reporting the next room rather than the current room for %0. %1 now holds the new room, and MAP ENTER ROOM will hold the old room in %1.
  • Fixed split settings not getting properly inherited from the startup session.

New in TinTin++ 2.00.4 (Oct 25, 2010)

  • #zap now takes an optional argument to zap a specific session.
  • When UTF8 is defined in tintin.h UTF8 characters should get wordwrapped correctly, still needs a #config option.
  • Added support for named MSDP events, for example IAC SB MSDP HEALTH would trigger on the HEALTH variable being updated, with %0 holding the value.
  • Added #map uninsert command which does the exact opposite of the #map insert command.
  • Added #map at command which executes the given commands at the given location.
  • Fixed the #path zip command.

  • Added #map map 80x20 {a} option to log in append mode, by default an overwrite is performed.
  • Added the option to use #path load {n;e;s;w;u;d}
  • When using #path run {delay} you can remove pending run commands by using: #undelay PATH %d

New in TinTin++ 2.00.3 (Aug 2, 2010)

  • Function arguments are no longer separated by spaces but by semicolons, strongly suggested to check your scripts for old functions, and update them.
  • Added BIG5 support to the parse command.
  • Removed the #suspend command, #cursor suspend is available instead.
  • Using $variable[%*] on a non existing nest now returns an empty string rather than 0 so they can be used in loops.
  • Added the PROGRAM_START, SCREEN_RESIZE, SESSION_ACTIVATED, and SESSION DEACTIVATED events.
  • Added an optional vnum argument to #map get and #map set commands so #map goto isn't required to loop through all rooms.
  • Added a #config option to enable BIG5 support.
  • Added the #line substitute options which allows the substitution of variables, functions, colors, and escape codes in the provided command argument.

New in TinTin++ 2.00.1 (Apr 6, 2010)

  • Added #buffer clear option.
  • Added PROGRAM START event.

New in TinTin++ 1.99.8 (Oct 19, 2009)

  • Updated #forall and #foreach to support the semicolon ; as a list separator. Braces are still valid as well, but spaces are no longer a valid separator. Example: #foreach {bli;bla;blo blu} {var} {#showme $var}

  • When setting a trigger variables are substituted, if you want to use an actual variable so the trigger changes whenever you change the variable use $$variable.
  • Fixed a formatting error in #write.

  • #loop {min max} {commands} has been changed to #loop {min} {max} {variable} {commands}, the variable must be used instead of &0
  • #parse {string} {commands} has been changed to #parse {string} {variable} {commands}, the variable must be used instead of &0.
  • #forall {list} {commands} has been replaced with #foreach {list} {variable} {commands}
  • #format {variable} {syntax} {{arg1}{arg2}} has been changed to #format {variable} {syntax} {arg1} {arg2}
  • #echo {syntax} {{arg1}{arg2}} has been changed to #echo {syntax} {arg1} {arg2}

  • The #SWITCH, #CASE, #DEFAULT, #FOREACH, #BREAK, #CONTINUE, #ELSE, and #ELSEIF statements have been added and should work more or less as expected.
  • Variables can be nested using brackets and for all intents and purposes behave like associative arrays. Non existant nested variables report 0 if the base variable exists and always report 0 when the name is encapsulated in braces.
  • Using & instead of $ will report the index of a variable.
  • Using $variable[+1] will report the first nest, and $variable[-1] will report the last nest, $variable[-2] the second last nest, etc.
  • To display all nests of a variable use $variable[]
  • To check if a variable exists use: #if {&{variable}} which will report 0 if non existent. If existant it will report the index of the variable.
  • LIST now works exclusively with nested variables. Also read #HELP VARIABLE.
  • #if {"$var" == "?var"} checks should be replaced with #if {&{var}} or #if {"$var" == "%.var"}
  • Old lists need to be converted as following: #var {friends} {{Alicia} {Bubba} {Cathie} {Kayla} {Zorro}} to #var {friends} {{Alicia}{1} {Bubba}{1}{Cathie}{1}{Kayla}{1}{Zorro}{1}}
  • Added MAP EXIT ROOM event.
  • #kill allows an optional second argument to kill specific triggers.
  • Spaces are no longer stripped in verbatim mode.
  • Improved just in time compilation, which combined with O(LogN) instead of O(N) lookup times for variables should make tintin noticeably faster.

New in TinTin++ 1.99.6 (Jun 23, 2009)

  • Added a patch that adds forkpty to systems that lack it.
  • Added a patch that significantly improves tab handling.

New in TinTin++ 1.99.5 (May 15, 2009)

  • Made sourcecode c++ compatible.
  • Added an optional 2nd argument to textin to add a cumulative per line delay.
  • Added event handlers for MSDP, NEW-ENVIRON, and ZMP.
  • #sub {trigger} {.} no longer gags text, use #gag instead.
  • Substitutions now work like highlights, allowing multiple substitutions per line which are automatically substring substitutions. Strictly avoid using %0 in both subs and highlights.

New in TinTin++ 1.99.3 (Mar 23, 2009)

  • Highlights should work properly now.
  • Now possible to #ignore aliases.
  • Fixed verbatim mode, aliases can now be used in verbatim mode and are executed non verbatim.
  • %%w %%*, etc, should escape properly for nested triggers.
  • Can use #regex on an empty string now.
  • Possible to send NUL bytes using x00 or c@ using #send. This is as far as the support for non strings will go.

  • Added a generic IAC event for telnet negotiations.
  • Now possible to use escape codes with #replace.
  • Triggers are once again properly inherited from the startup session.

New in TinTin++ 1.99.2 (Mar 9, 2009)

  • Triggers are now pre-compiled, increasing execution speed significantly.
  • Aliases can now contain regular expressions as described in #help action.
  • Fixed several crash bugs introduced in version 1.99.1.
  • #map create now takes an argument to set the size of the map. If you want to resize an existing map, change the C value in the map file from 15000 to something else.

New in TinTin++ 1.99.1 (Mar 2, 2009)

  • Added the xx escape code, where xx is an octal number.
  • Added the cx escape code, where x is a control character. For example: c[ is the same as e.
  • Switched from POSIX regular expressions to PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions).
  • Updated actions, highlights, and substitutions to use PCRE. Their new syntax is:
  • ^ force match of start of line.
  • $ force match of end of line.
  • %1-� lazy match of any text, available at %xx (%1-�).
  • %0 should be avoided in triggers, and if left alone lists all matches.
  • { } embed a regular expression, available at %xx + 1.
  • [ ] . + | ( ) ? * are treated as normal text unlessed used within braces. Keep in mind that { } is replaced with ( ) when using braces.
  • Of the following the (lazy) match is available at %xx + 1
  • %w match zero to any number of letters.
  • %W match zero to any number of non letters.
  • %d match zero to any number of digits.
  • %D match zero to any number of non digits.
  • %s match zero to any number of spaces.
  • %S match zero to any number of non spaces.
  • %? match zero or one character.
  • %. match one character.
  • %+ match one to any number of characters.
  • %* match zero to any number of characters.
  • The following incompatibilities exist:
  • [his|her] is no longer valid, use {his|her}
  • %{variable} is no longer valid, no alternative available.
  • ^ can no longer be used as end of line marker.
  • unnumbered arguments like %w and {his|her} have the match start at %1 instead of %0.

New in TinTin++ 1.99.0 (Feb 16, 2009)

  • #showme and #echo now take a // as a suffix to stop a linefeed from being added.
  • Added an extra measure to prevent losing track of the cursor position.
  • Added an END OF PATH event.
  • #debug should give more detailed debugging information.
  • Removed timestamp config option, a scripted #event based alternative has been added to the SCRIPT file.

  • Added auto tab config option to set the amount of scroll back lines used for auto tab completion.

New in TinTin++ 1.98.9 (Jan 29, 2009)

  • The 'd' format option is now used to print an integer, mainly to enable the + option for standard digit formatting.
  • Added to

New in TinTin++ 1.98.8 (Jan 12, 2009)

  • A pre-parser has been added that allows for deeping nesting with #if checks.
  • Added #while {var} {command} to run while loops.
  • The #loop command used with one argument no longer works like a while loop.
  • The $loop, $parse, and $forall variables are no longer automatically set.

  • Changed the %t format option to use a strftime format to create time stamps.
  • Fixed telopt handling to avoid MCCP errors.

New in TinTin++ 1.98.7 (Dec 8, 2008)

  • Variables can now be used in aliases.
  • When leaving a map the last room is set, which can be returned to with #map return. The last room is stored when saving a map, and #map return will work as well after reading in a map.
  • Updated the math helpfile with available bit operations.
  • The echo command will no longer trigger actions.
  • #map map now takes an optional (x)x(y) size argument, ie 80x25. It also takes an optinal filename argument to log the map output to file, useful for people who want to use tail -f -s 0.1 to have the map in another window.
  • Added a timestamp config option to add timestamps to log files using the strftime format.

New in TinTin++ 1.98.6 (Oct 24, 2008)

  • Fixed the requirement of braces to use the #map run option.
  • Added the static roomflag which makes it easier to deal with overlapping rooms.
  • Can now specify on/off for setting global flags and room flags.

  • Added support for 3 letter room symbols.
  • Variables passed along as an alias argument now go by value instead of by reference.
  • Added the asciivnums flag to toggle displaying room vnums in the ascii map.

New in TinTin++ 1.98.5 (Aug 29, 2008)

  • Added #script {var} {command} option, should speak for itself.
  • Fixed bug with the first input character being ignored in character mode.
  • Can now escape variables using 2 or more dollar signs.

New in TinTin++ 1.98.3 (Jul 16, 2008)

  • It's now possible to use strings in the map legenda, mainly for terminals supporting UTF-8.
  • Void rooms now work with unusual exits as well.
  • Added some unlisted map commands to the #map and #help listing.
  • Verbatim mode now only works on manual input, actions and macros will have their commands processed normally.
  • #map map now accepts a given radius.
  • #config packet patch now takes a floating point seconds argument instead of milli seconds. The valid input range is between 0.00 and 10.00 seconds.
  • Added the #config regexp on/off option. If enabled actions, aliases, highlights, subs, and grep will use regex. Keep in mind that all regexp checks are inline (or whatever it's called), so if you make an alias you'd want to start it with a ^ so it matches the start of the input.
  • Added the {RECEIVED INPUT} event.
  • alt-d will now delete one word forwards.
  • Added #path zip, to compress a created path into a speedwalk.
  • [ and ] no longer work, use the x codes provided in #help escape.

  • alt-b and alt-f should now have the proper readline behavior.

New in TinTin++ 1.98.1 (Apr 7, 2008)

  • The command history is no longer automatically saved to file.

  • Braces in trigger arguments are now translated to x codes.
  • Added the #line {gag|log} option to replace #gagline and #logline commands.
  • Added the 'program termination' and 'received line' events.

New in TinTin++ 1.98.0 (Mar 25, 2008)

  • Added the #cursor enter option.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed erasing files with #chat.
  • Fixed a crash bug in the chat negotiation routine.

  • Fixed a bug with alias parsing and several other issues.

New in TinTin++ 1.97.9 (Feb 2, 2008)

  • Added 'dark' as a valid color name in highlights.
  • Added the 'color patch' config option for muds with awkward color handling.

New in TinTin++ 1.97.8 (Nov 24, 2007)

  • You must now escape using %%0 rather than %�.
  • Added the #path run {delay} option.
  • Highlight now colors all matches on a line.
  • Functions now only use to �, &0 to &9 no longer works. Keep in mind to replace &0 with %1, &1 with %2, since %0 holds all arguments passed to a function.
