The help entry database structure has changed! You have to resync or purge
your database or your will get problems!
New features:
* Help entry access now fully controlled by evennia permissions
* Categories for each help entry
* All entries are created dynamically, with a See also: footer calculated
after the current state of the database.
* Indexes and topic list calculated on the fly (alphabetically/after category)
* Added auto-help help entries for all default commands.
* Only shows commands _actually implemented_ - MUX help db moved into 'MUX' category
which is not shown by default.
* More powerful auto-help markup - supports categories and permissions (and inheritance).
* Global on/off switch for auto-help, when entering production
* Auto_help_override switch for selectively activating auto-help when developing
new commands (like the old system).
* Refactored State help system; no more risk of overwriting global help entries.
* State help now defers to main help db when no match found; makes system more transparent.
* State help entries also support categories/permissions (state categories are not
used much though).
Other updates:
* Added more commands to the batch processor
* Many bug-fixes.
/Griatch
- changed @chperm to @setperm to avoid confusion with channel commands
- added @setgroup command for adding user group permissions
- Moved permissions/group setup into settings file to allow admins to tweak without going into evennia engine.
- Add all new players to default permission group (defined in settings)
- Defined a basic group hierarchy, removed permission 'genperms.builder' in favour of a group named builders instead, containing all relevant permissions.
- Filtered out all django's automatic permissions in @setperm/list to make permission system more controlled by admin.
- Probably fixed bug that caused new users to not be signed up to channels (more testing needed)
- Added Exception handler in unloggedin method create, this was killing tracebacks upon user creation.
/Griatch
- Made it so user #1 is also affected by the on_player_creation() function.
- Added an event folder for custom events, including a working example
- Expanded the example commands and parents to include the changes to how they should be initialized.
- Added an optional ansi scheme (not active by default)
- expanded help command, allowing adding, deleting and appending to help the help database
- auto-doc functionality using the __doc__ property of commands
- markup in help text for creation of multiple help subtopics at once
- dynamic help index (use 'help topic' to get the normal mux topic list)

It is important to note that these are currently un-modified MUX2 help files. There are a lot of things that are not applicable, incorrect, or only partially correct. It will be an ongoing project to clean these up.
