What's New: Addventure 2.1

Version 2.1.1

Bug Fixes

• Hopefully fixes the problem where some blank episodes and options-only episodes were created.
• Choices of all spaces are not allowed.

Appearance Changes

• Applet checking for a running game now has white background.

Version 2.1.0

Listing linkable episodes is optional

On large games, generating the list of linkable episodes started taking a lot of time, and returned huge pages. The ability to list episodes by name or number as the way to select episodes to link to may be disabled by the administrator.

Changes to the 'About' program

• Since games may run with different features, the about program will return what features are enabled and disabled.
• Since listing linkable episodes is optional, the about program can list them.
• Since there is a lot of stuff, the about program has multiple pages.

Informational messages

Game administrators may set files to be printed during episode creation and when errors occur.

UI improvements

• Entered text is displayed before authors enter the options
• Administrators can set a maximum number of options

Mailing list support

Administrators can now run a mailing list, and new authors can subscribe to it when they create their episode.

Mailto support in signature

If the administrator allows it, and the user chooses it, the user's signature can become a link to their email address.

Improved sanity-checking in email addresses

Java ready

Our forward compatability module. {: Addventure will be ready for the JavAddventure applets and applications when written. (As of 2.1.0, the applets have not been written.)

Improved administrator documentation

Improved administrator debugging

Disk space monitoring

Cron script can be run to periodically check the status of the disk and turn the game off if it is running out of space.
