Genie 5 — v5.0.0-alpha.7.7

A community bug-fix and polish release — clickable news listings, clearer
disconnect feedback, an accurate mob count, and a Room window that wraps again in
windowed mode. Most of these came straight from issue reports; thanks to everyone
who filed them.

Alpha software. Builds are unsigned for most platforms — Windows
SmartScreen will warn on first launch (More info → Run anyway). Signing is
tracked in #33.

✨ New

  • Clickable news listings (#30) — DR's news listing arrives as plain text
    with no links, so the numbered items weren't clickable. Genie 5 now synthesizes
    a click target over each numbered line (e.g. news 1 2), so you can open an
    article straight from the list.
  • Disconnect feedback (#114) — leaving the game is now unmissable: a
    timestamped disconnected line in the Game window (Genie 4 parity) plus an
    optional "Disconnected" popup. It's suppressed while auto-reconnecting, and the
    popup can be turned off under Window → Disconnect Popup (the line always
    shows regardless).

🐛 Fixes

  • Mob count for same-type creatures (#118) — two creatures joined by "and"
    with no comma ("a giant viper and a giant viper") were collapsed into a single
    entry, throwing the count off. Each creature is now split and counted
    individually, so the Mobs panel and $monstercount are correct.
  • Room window wrapping in MDI (#124) — in windowed/MDI mode the Room window
    stopped wrapping and ran off the edge. It wraps again. (Docked/tabbed mode was
    never affected.)
