# Evennia Changelog
|
|
|
|
## Feb 2015:
|
|
Development currently in devel/ branch. Moved typeclasses to use
|
|
django's proxy functionality. Changed the Evennia folder layout to a
|
|
library format with a stand-alone launcher, in preparation for making
|
|
an 'evennia' pypy package and using versioning. The version we will
|
|
merge with will likely be 0.5. There is also work with an expanded
|
|
testing structure and the use of threading for saves. We also now
|
|
use Travis for automatic build checking.
|
|
|
|
## Sept 2014:
|
|
Updated to Django 1.7+ which means South dependency was dropped and
|
|
minimum Python version upped to 2.7. MULTISESSION_MODE=3 was added
|
|
and the web customization system was overhauled using the latest
|
|
functionality of django. Otherwise, mostly bug-fixes and
|
|
implementation of various smaller feature requests as we got used
|
|
to github. Many new users have appeared.
|
|
|
|
## Jan 2014:
|
|
Moved Evennia project from Google Code to github.com/evennia/evennia.
|
|
|
|
## Nov 2013:
|
|
Moved the internal webserver into the Server and added support for
|
|
out-of-band protocols (MSDP initially). This large development push
|
|
also meant fixes and cleanups of the way attributes were handled.
|
|
Tags were added, along with proper handlers for permissions, nicks
|
|
and aliases.
|
|
|
|
## May 2013:
|
|
Made players able to control more than one Character at the same
|
|
time, through the MULTISESSION_MODE=2 addition. This lead to a lot
|
|
of internal changes for the server.
|
|
|
|
## Oct 2012:
|
|
Changed Evennia from the Modified Artistic 1.0 license to the more
|
|
standard and permissive BSD license. Lots of updates and bug fixes as
|
|
more people start to use it in new ways. Lots of new caching and
|
|
speed-ups.
|
|
|
|
## March 2012:
|
|
Evennia's API has changed and simplified slightly in that the
|
|
base-modules where removed from game/gamesrc. Instead admins are
|
|
encouraged to explicitly create new modules under game/gamesrc/ when
|
|
they want to implement their game - gamesrc/ is empty by default
|
|
except for the example folders that contain template files to use for
|
|
this purpose. We also added the ev.py file, implementing a new, flat
|
|
API. Work is ongoing to add support for mud-specific telnet
|
|
extensions, notably the MSDP and GMCP out-of-band extensions. On the
|
|
community side, evennia's dev blog was started and linked on planet
|
|
Mud-dev aggregator.
|
|
|
|
## Nov 2011:
|
|
After creating several different proof-of-concept game systems (in
|
|
contrib and privately) as well testing lots of things to make sure the
|
|
implementation is basically sound, we are declaring Evennia out of
|
|
Alpha. This can mean as much or as little as you want, admittedly -
|
|
development is still heavy but the issue list is at an all-time low
|
|
and the server is slowly stabilizing as people try different things
|
|
with it. So Beta it is!
|
|
|
|
## Aug 2011:
|
|
Split Evennia into two processes: Portal and Server. After a lot of
|
|
work trying to get in-memory code-reloading to work, it's clear this
|
|
is not Python's forte - it's impossible to catch all exceptions,
|
|
especially in asynchronous code like this. Trying to do so results in
|
|
hackish, flakey and unstable code. With the Portal-Server split, the
|
|
Server can simply be rebooted while players connected to the Portal
|
|
remain connected. The two communicates over twisted's AMP protocol.
|
|
|
|
## May 2011:
|
|
The new version of Evennia, originally hitting trunk in Aug2010, is
|
|
maturing. All commands from the pre-Aug version, including IRC/IMC2
|
|
support works again. An ajax web-client was added earlier in the year,
|
|
including moving Evennia to be its own webserver (no more need for
|
|
Apache or django-testserver). Contrib-folder added.
|
|
|
|
## Aug 2010:
|
|
Evennia-griatch-branch is ready for merging with trunk. This marks a
|
|
rather big change in the inner workings of the server, such as the
|
|
introduction of TypeClasses and Scripts (as compared to the old
|
|
ScriptParents and Events) but should hopefully bring everything
|
|
together into one consistent package as code development continues.
|
|
|
|
## May 2010:
|
|
Evennia is currently being heavily revised and cleaned from
|
|
the years of gradual piecemeal development. It is thus in a very
|
|
'Alpha' stage at the moment. This means that old code snippets
|
|
will not be backwards compatabile. Changes touch almost all
|
|
parts of Evennia's innards, from the way Objects are handled
|
|
to Events, Commands and Permissions.
|
|
|
|
## April 2010:
|
|
Griatch takes over Maintainership of the Evennia project from
|
|
the original creator Greg Taylor.
|
|
|
|
(Earlier revisions, with previous maintainer, go back to 2005)
