<h2>Major new features<aclass="headerlink"href="#major-new-features"title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<ulclass="simple">
<li><p>Evennia is now on PyPi and is installable as <aclass="reference internal"href="../Setup/Installation.html"><spanclass="doc std std-doc">pip install evennia</span></a>.</p></li>
<li><p>A completely revamped documentation at <aclass="reference external"href="https://www.evennia.com/docs/latest">https://www.evennia.com/docs/latest</a>. The old wiki and readmedocs pages will close.</p></li>
<li><p>Evennia 1.0 now has a REST API which allows you access game objects using CRUD operations GET/POST etc. See [The Web-API docs][Web-API] for more information.</p></li>
<li><p><aclass="reference internal"href="../Setup/Channels-to-Discord.html"><spanclass="doc std std-doc">Evennia<>Discord Integration</span></a> between Evennia channels and Discord servers.</p></li>
<li><p><aclass="reference internal"href="../Components/Scripts.html"><spanclass="doc std std-doc">Script</span></a> overhaul: Scripts’ timer component independent from script object deletion; can now start/stop timer without deleting Script. The <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">.persistent</span></code> flag now only controls if timer survives reload - Script has to be removed with <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">.delete()</span></code> like other typeclassed entities. This makes Scripts even more useful as general storage entities.</p></li>
<li><p>The <aclass="reference internal"href="../Components/FuncParser.html"><spanclass="doc std std-doc">FuncParser</span></a> centralizes and vastly improves all in-string function calls, such as <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">say</span><spanclass="pre">the</span><spanclass="pre">result</span><spanclass="pre">is</span><spanclass="pre">$eval(3</span><spanclass="pre">*</span><spanclass="pre">7)</span></code> and say the result <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">the</span><spanclass="pre">result</span><spanclass="pre">is</span><spanclass="pre">21</span></code>. The parser completely replaces the old <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">parse_inlinefunc</span></code>. The new parser can handle both arguments and kwargs and are also used for in-prototype parsing as well as director stance messaging, such as using <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">$You()</span></code> to represent yourself in a string and having the result come out differently depending on who see you.</p></li>
<li><p><aclass="reference internal"href="../Components/Channels.html"><spanclass="doc std std-doc">Channels</span></a> New Channel-System using the <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">channel</span></code> command and nicks. The old <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">ChannelHandler</span></code> was removed and the customization and operation of channels have been simplified a lot. The old command syntax commands are now available as a contrib.</p></li>
<li><p><aclass="reference internal"href="../Components/Help-System.html"><spanclass="doc std std-doc">Help System</span></a> was refactored.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>A new type of <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">FileHelp</span></code> system allows you to add in-game help files as external Python files. This means there are three ways to add help entries in Evennia: 1) Auto-generated from Command’s code. 2) Manually added to the database from the <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">sethelp</span></code> command in-game and 3) Created as external Python files that Evennia loads and makes available in-game.</p></li>
<li><p>We now use <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">lunr</span></code> search indexing for better <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">help</span></code> matching and suggestions. Also improve
the main help command’s default listing output.</p></li>
<li><p>Help command now uses <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">view</span></code> lock to determine if cmd/entry shows in index and <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">read</span></code> lock to determine if it can be read. It used to be <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">view</span></code> in the role of the latter.</p></li>
<li><p><codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">sethelp</span></code> command now warns if shadowing other help-types when creating a new entry.</p></li>
<li><p>Make <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">help</span></code> index output clickable for webclient/clients with MXP (PR by davewiththenicehat)</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>Rework of the <aclass="reference internal"href="../Components/Website.html"><spanclass="doc std std-doc">Web</span></a> setup, into a much more consistent structure and update to latest Django. The <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">mygame/web/static_overrides</span></code> and <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">-template_overrides</span></code> were removed. The folders are now just <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">mygame/web/static</span></code> and <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">/templates</span></code> and handle the automatic copying of data behind the scenes. <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">app.css</span></code> to <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">website.css</span></code> for consistency. The old <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">prosimii-css</span></code> files were removed.</p></li>
<li><p><aclass="reference internal"href="../Components/Attributes.html#using-attributeproperty"><spanclass="std std-doc">AttributeProperty</span></a>/<aclass="reference internal"href="../Components/Tags.html"><spanclass="doc std std-doc">TagProperty</span></a> along with <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">AliasProperty</span></code> and <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">PermissionProperty</span></code> to allow managing Attributes, Tags, Aliases and Permissios on typeclasses in the same way as Django fields. This dramatically reduces the need to assign Attributes/Tags in <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">at_create_object</span></code> hook.</p></li>
<li><p>The old <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">MULTISESSION_MODE</span></code> was divided into smaller settings, for better controlling what happens when a user connects, if a character should be auto-created, and how many characters they can control at the same time. See <aclass="reference internal"href="../Concepts/Connection-Styles.html"><spanclass="doc std std-doc">Connection-Styles</span></a> for a detailed explanation.</p></li>
<li><p>Evennia now supports custom <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">evennia</span></code> launcher commands (e.g. <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">evennia</span><spanclass="pre">mycmd</span><spanclass="pre">foo</span><spanclass="pre">bar</span></code>). Add new commands as callables accepting <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">*args</span></code>, as <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">settings.EXTRA_LAUNCHER_COMMANDS</span><spanclass="pre">=</span><spanclass="pre">{'mycmd':</span><spanclass="pre">'path.to.callable',</span><spanclass="pre">...}</span></code>.</p></li>
