An optional dumb interface was added, which works great with PHP or teletypes, and Unicode and randomization test programs were added to the Z-machine test suite. The documentation was rewritten and proofread. Command recording no longer appends "[999]" to the end of every line. OSS sound now works correctly on *BSD.
The -i option has been reenabled to permit one to
ignore ordinarily fatal game errors. Latin1-style
quotes are no longer displayed backwards. An
idiosyncracy of Infocom's "Journey" was previously
mistaken as a bug in Frotz in version 2.40. Status
line padding has been modified to allow for
screens narrower than 80 columns (like that Linux
handheld device). It is now confirmed to compile
and run on MacOS X, and includes test zcode
programs for torture-testing.
This release includes some support for V6 (graphical) games, config files, user-configurable error-checking, default use of the Quetzal save file format, various bugfixes, a license change to GPL, and the Unix port is now maintained by David Griffith.
