2.0.0b19

Version 2.0.0b19

Released May 12th 2025

Sorry for the long delay!

• Tooltips didn't work correctly on all Linux platforms. Reported and debugged by Nasgarath.
• Custom /commands threw an error if you abbreviated their name. Also reported by Nasgarath.
• Fix a scrolling bug on Linux. Reported by Nasgarath again.
• As well as pasting, Shift-Insert also turned on overtype mode (as Insert without the shift key does). This entire release sponsored by Nasgarath.
• Logging the output buffer of a Spawn window failed silently. Reported by Nob @ Elessar MUSH.
• Added German language support. Translations by Jurica.
• Added Ctrl+Delete keyboard binding for deleting the following word.
• Improved how Ctrl+Backspace handles spaces, in line with Ctrl+Delete.
• Add support for localising helpfiles. Suggested by Jurica.
• The Status bar no longer disappears when the window height is reduced. Reported by several people over the years, including Paige, and more recently by Nerdvana.
• Added a new world option, "Send Blank Lines", which causes pressing Enter in the input window with no text to still send a blank line (just lineending with no text). Needed for some MUDs. Requested by Paige.
• Added a "Convert Spaces and Returns" option for custom keyboard shortcuts, so converting spaces to %b and returns to %r can be done at once with a single keyboard shortcut. Requested by fuzzyweapon.
• Fixed multiple bugs in /setprefix that stopped it from working. Reported by fuzzyweapon. [213]
• Added new keyboard binding to scroll output window to last "New Activity" marker. Requested by Elizabeth @ Project Skald / Apocrypha

2.0.0b18

Version 2.0.0b18

Released July 1st 2017

• The 'Copy to Clipboard' button in the Input History window was broken. Reported by Damascus.
• A bug in the base64 package caused Potato to fail to load if run from a directory with a space in its name. Reported by Ferretling, heysparky and others (issue #434).
• Fix a couple of missing 'catch' statements, one of which caused an error on Linux. Reported by Chris Quesnel.
• Logging didn't correctly include the contents of the main output window when told to. Reported by Rilauven, Aranis and Kitai (issue #471).

2.0.0b17

• Helpfiles are now stored in Markdown format (as per the Github wiki) rather than the Google Code wiki syntax. The code for parsing/displaying helpfiles has been modified appropriately.
• Fixed a bug in the Address Book window when pressing Escape. Pressing Escape when not drag-and-dropping a world now closes the window. Reported by Damascus.
• Spawn names containing certain special characters would break. Reported by qa'toq.
• Changed the hexcodes for some of the XTERM colours to match more commonly-used definitions. Suggested by stromm (issue #452).
• On Windows, if you don't specify a file extension for a logfile in the File Selection window, it will default to .txt. (If you really want no extension, put the filename in double quotes.) On other platforms it still defaults to no extension. Suggested by Grendelgreg (issue #437).
• Fixed a bug in the Prefix/Auto Say window when the Window Name contained spaces. Reported by kalimalian (issue #459).
• Potato now requires at least version 1.6.7 of Tcl's TLS package for secure connections, and comes bundled with 1.6.7.1 on Windows and MacOS. This enables TLSv1, v1.1 and v1.2. Reported by sypherspace (issue #456).
• Windows builds are now built with Tcl/Tk 8.6.4
