Adding TTYPE support (allows server to query client for information such as name and capabilities, assuming the client supports ttype).

Restructured the way typeclasses are loaded. This makes it possible to run at_init() hooks at initiation also for objects without any custom cases for character/players. at_init() hooks are called only when an object is initiated. This means that a room's at_init() hook is only called when someone looks or enters it or a script operates on it, for example, rest of the time these objects are dormant, most efficiently.

Added functionality to Attributes to store and update dicts and lists dynamically. One side effect of this is that dicts and tuples need to be stored as custom object types which means that e.g. isintance(obj.db.mylist) == type(list) will return False. In order to do checks like this, use src.utils.utils.inherits_from() instead. The Attribute system now also supports tuples. All other iterables except dicts, lists and tuples are stored and retrieved as lists, same as before.

This fixes issue 189.

Put up a warning about not using BaseObject.at_init() at this time (it's not called, as per issue 188). Also removed the deprecated at_cache() hook (it doesn't work anymore now that the caching system is much more efficient and only caches once).

Trunk: Merged griatch-branch. This implements a new reload mechanism - splitting Evennia into two processes: Server and Portal with different tasks. Also cleans and fixes several bugs in script systems as well as introduces i18n (courtesy of raydeejay).

Scripts and Exits updated. Fixed some deep issues with Scripts that caused object-based scripts to not properly shut down in some situations, as well as spawn multiple instances of themselves. I think this should resolve all "at_repeat doubling" issues reported. Due to optimizations in the typeclass cache loader in a previous update, the Exit cmdsets were not properly loaded (they were loaded at cache time, which now doesn't happen as often). So Exits instead rely on the new "at_cmdset_get" hook called by the cmdhandler. It allows dynamic modification of cmdsets just before they are accessed. Resolves issue173 (I hope). Resolves issue180. Resolves issue 181.

Added SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) support, inspired by patch by rcaskey (issue 79). The automatic certificate creation does not work well; so the system instead instructs and gives example on how to create your own using third-party tools. I can connect to the server using a twisted-client instance, but not that many regular mud clients seem to support SSL at all (and if they do I don't know to configure them ...)

Run Migrate. Implemented a full separation between Player and Character - Players (OOC entities) can now also hold cmdsets and execute commands. This means that "disconnecting" from a Character becomes possible, putting the Player in an "OOC" state outside the game. This overall makes the game much more stable since there used to be issues if the character was destroyed. Having an OOC set also avoids the previous problem of @puppeting into an object that didn't have any cmdset of its own - you couldn't get back out! A new default OOC-Cmdset handles commands available to a player while OOC. Commands in this set are applied with a low priority, allowing "IC" mode to give precedence if desired.
...
This change meant several changes to the lock and permission functionality, since it becomes important if permissions are assigned on the Player or on their Character (lock functions pperm() and pid() etc check on Player rather than Character). This has the boon of allowing Admins to switch and play/test the game as a "Low access" character as they like.
Plenty of bug fixes and adjustments. Migrations should make sure to move over all data properly.

Migration needed. Refactored the config.configValue model into server.ServerConfig (that's what the config model were used for anyway). The new model can handle arbitrary data structures through pickle. Run ./manage.py migrate to sync your database with the new setup.
...
Moved Connect screens (the text screen first seen when connecting) away from the database and into a module in gamesrc/world. This module allows for conveniently adding new connect screens on the fly. More than one screen in the given module will mean a random screen is used.

OBS: You need to resync your database! The Nickname system is now a separate database model with the result that also channel nicks are more robust. Also nickname replacement has been adjusted to fix some exceptional circumstances. Fixed a host of issues in the channel and nick handlers and adjoining commands that caused the channel-syscommands to fail in some situations. Resolves issue131. Resolves issue 132. Resolves issue 134.

's suggestions as of yet - it uses a separate data object passed through msg() to communicate between the server and the various protocols. Also the client itself could probably need cleanup and 'prettification'. The fact that the system runs a hybrid of Django and Twisted, getting the best of both worlds should allow for many possibilities in the future. /Griatch
