[Aime-announce] AIME 0.59pre release

[George N. <no...@ac...>]

Hi all,

   The prerelease of AIME version 0.59 is now available for download.  It is
a release meant for testing to find major bugs before the full version 0.59
is released so the documentation and packaging may not be fully developed.
If you have the time, please download it and test it so we can squash those
bugs before they get into the release and users must wait for the next
release for them to be fixed.

   To install over a previously installed version, I highly recommend you
back up your old copy before proceeding.  For both windows and linux, you
should be able to decompress over the old copy, make the aime.conf changes,
and proceed from there.  Windows users especially will notice a big change
in the way the mud runs.  Both types may prompt the user to convert a file
if it finds the file is an old version.  There is one slight bug in both
versions that will require you to restart the mud after all the conversions
are complete as they are not loaded after the convert.  If you are running
it for the first time, linux users should go to the aime directory and type
"install_package demo" to install demo areas and data files.  Windows users
will need to contact me (no...@ac...) so I can send you a demo package.
Or you can create your own data files.

   Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  Also, please let me know of
any bugs or oddities you would like to see fixed before 0.59 is released.
