 Aardwolf Client Package Major Changes List
 
-r1887 snapshot:
+r1898 snapshot
+- misc change: Updated to MUSHclient 5.05 (see release notes http://www.mushclient.com/scripts/showrelnote.php )
+- new feature: There is now a plugin for #sub and #gag (aard_text_substitution.xml). Some people have been asking for this for a very long time. Sorry it took so long. Load it and type "#sub help"
+- MAJOR change: Channel messages now only arrive over GMCP. Say goodbye to channel tags.
+- new feature: The GMCP handler has been rewritten to make getting gmcp data easier. See https://github.com/fiendish/aardwolfclientpackage/wiki/Using-GMCP
+- new feature: Tags now only get activated for the current session instead of persisting into other logins that possibly aren't made with a client that understands them. I hope this leads to fewer "why are all these tags showing?" queries.
+- new feature: There's now a fun little experiment in lua\online_translation.lua for doing translations between different languages using google translation servers. We'll just have to see how long it takes until they actually shut down free access to the translation API like they said they're going to.
+- misc change: The in-place updater experiment is over. I decided to get rid of it in favor of an installer ( https://fiendish.github.io/aardwolfclientpackage/ ). If you point it at your previous MUSHclient folder, the installer will safely preserve your world, state, and mapper database files.
+- new feature for developers: There are some more functions for dealing with colors in aardwolf_colors.lua
+- bug fix: A few obscure bugs were found in color processing code.
+- bug fix: One more attempt at a prompt-fixing plugin. So help me god, if one more person has a problem with it freezing their output I'm going to picket outside of Lasher's house until he forces all prompts to end in %c without my intervention.
+- bug fix: Fixed some errors in GMCP mapper bounceportal/bouncerecall caused by inconsistency if the portal entry is removed.

 - misc change: the statmon miniwindow plugin has more compact labels that waste less space.
 - new feature: the statmon miniwindow has an option for showing gold with commas.
 - misc change: one of the experimental text substitution plugins has been removed. Substitutions without GMCP are just not good.

 - new feature: there is a new plugin meant to assist players who use screen readers by capturing the output from game commands and sending it to a MUSHclient notepad. The plugin is called aard_VI_command_output.xml. For now it has an accompanying readme file.
 - misc change: if you accidentally replace the LuaJIT DLL with another one, the package will now alert you. Don't do it. It breaks things.

 - misc change: updated to MUSHclient 5.01 (see release notes http://www.mushclient.com/scripts/showrelnote.php )
 - new feature: ascii map plugin will only automatically request updates if the player is active so they shouldn't keep you from idling out.
 - new feature: mapper backups internally store the date and time of when they were created.

+r1851 snapshot
 - bug fix: Windows XP returns error 1026 if an FO_DELETE operation is attempted for a file that doesn't exist (updater)
 - bug fix: string comparisons should be plain (updater)
 
-r1850 snapshot:
+r1850 snapshot
 - misc change: with GMCP mapper cexits it should now be possible to visually draw exits between rooms that are nomap but still actually unique. You have to manually flag the room to ignore exits mismatches and then create a single-letter direction cexit. This will probably fail in funny ways for non-unique rooms.
 - bug fix: ascii map plugin will no longer request map updates if a room description kinda sorta looks like a door opening or closing.
 - bug fix: use luajit's FFI interface to replace calls to os.execute in the package updater plugin with direct Windows API calls because os.execute was freezing MUSHclient for at least one player.
 - bug fix: unload plugins before moving files around with the new updater, because a loaded plugin might be keeping a file locked.
 
-r1845 snapshot:
+r1845 snapshot
 - bug fix: detect file download failures during updates and gently retry a few times.
 - misc change: move version file checks to a more central location to hopefully avoid the file handle being held open accidentally by bad copy+pastes.

 - bug fix: two plugins didn't close the version file after opening it, leading to access permission errors in the updater

 - bug fix: update plugin now seen working in Windows XP. Wine's xcopy prints "<#> file(s) copied" with a lowercase f, but Windows's xcopy prints "<#> File(s) copied" with a capital F.
 - misc change: confirm at package update whether to update in place or to download the .zip instead
 - new feature: mapper notes room (or mapper notes thisroom) will print mapper notes for just the current room

 - new feature: the package update plugin now actually tries to update the package in place for you instead of just pointing to a download link.
 - new feature: using async io with the "async" require is now a lot easier.
 - bug fix: fixes an error on loading the bigmap plugin if the gmcp mapper is absent

 - bug fix: should fix a bug reported with the GMCP mapper where adjacent from starting room cexits weren't being used.
 - misc change: The GMCP mapper is now more thorough about database integrity checks because several reported bugs occured because of database file integrity errors.

 - info: A change crept into the the previous release that apparently wasn't fully baked yet. The chat echo plugin now runs with a plugin sequence of -5000, which will make it run before everything else, so if you're triggering on channel tags anywhere you'll need to either switch to using GMCP or set your plugin priority lower. See http://mushclient.com/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbsubject_id=12790
 - bug fix: Also make comm log plugin have sequence -5000 so that it catches unechoed lines.
 - bug fix: GMCP mapper should now be better about flagging wrong rooms as noportal/norecall when moving while blind.
