Changes to Empire 4.3.32 - Sun Aug 11 12:23:54 UTC 2013
* The break command now honors new designation of sanctuaries.
* Changes to edit, give, setsector, setresource, swapsector:
- Generalize edit to multiple objects: accept
<SECTS|SHIPS|PLANES|LANDS|NATS> argument instead of just
<SECT|SHIP|PLANE|LAND|NAT>. Obsoletes setsector and setresource.
- Make interactive "edit c" detect and handle concurrent updates,
like other edits do.
- Don't reprint edited object when done with it.
- Always print a message describing the actual change. Necessary
to give the deity a chance to catch unexpected changes, e.g. a
player moving away stuff right before a give command, leaving
fewer items than the deity intends to take. Existing messages
improved, missing ones added.
- Consistently send bulletins to the victim / beneficiary of deity
meddling, except when changing stuff mortals can't see.
- Report much more deity meddling in the news (subject to option
GODNEWS).
- More robust argument checking. Before, careless deity edits
could cause internal errors. Much bounds checking was missing,
inconsistent or wrong.
- Teleport planes and land units to carrier on load.
- Refuse to move planes and land units on carriers.
- Fix stack smash in edit l key 'L' that can mess up sector file.
- Fix setsector to again print actual landmine change for occupied
sectors. Broken in 4.3.31.
- Suppress bulletins for acts of god to himself.
- Suppress news for acts of god to gods.
- Suppress news and bulletins on no-op acts of god.
- Always send bulletins from POGO. Name the meddling deity in the
bulletin text instead. Inconsistent since Chainsaw.
- Make interactive edit accept empty key argument again.
- Make interactive edit treat blank input like empty input.
- Don't let edit put a land unit or plane on two carriers
- Do not disclose when a deity destroys a ship, tell the ex-owner
only that he lost it.
- edit p and u now show the edited unit like edit s.
- edit s now shows the edited ship even when its owner is invalid.
* Clean up output of satellite, land, sorder and mission for world
sizes between 200 and 1998. cutoff and level still have issues
there.
* Plug harmless file descriptor leak on OpenBSD with IPv6. Broken in
4.3.31.
* New doc/contributing explains how to contribute to Empire.
* Code refactoring and cleanup.
* Info page, manual page and documentation fixes and clarifications.
Changes to Empire 4.3.31 - Sun May 12 16:58:34 UTC 2013
* Fix read beyond end of conditional argument on missing operand.
* Don't put broken links into info pages formatted as HTML.
