as you may well have noticed, there hasn't been an update from me for a=20
while... mostly because I haven't done much, what with uni and all. well,=20
since I've had some time over my mid-semester break when not working on all=
=20
the homework I got, I've managed to get more done. it's mostly cleaning up=
=20
some errors, including a problem that could enable an attacker to crash the=
=20
server (yes, it's fixed, don't worry, and more testing for this sort of=20
thing will happen before the server officially opens)
there is some added functionality as well though, one of the areas is the=20
mail interface, it should be a lot easier to use the hyper-linked version=20
now (as in clicking with mouse, the command line version (such as "/mail=20
list in-box" still works the same)) though more than just the interface has=
=20
been improved, thanks to some consultation with Gaidheil, we now have Next=
=20
and Previous for navigating through the messages in each folder, still no=20
sending, but it'll come eventually.
the other thing that'll be noticed that's been improved on is the word-mods=
=20
and line-mods (like //bo in alamak)
with alamak, once you have a //bo for the line, you can't turn bold off, an=
d=20
the same for words. I've now fixed it so that you can toggle bold, italic,=
=20
etc on and off throughout a word or line.
links have also been added to each command in the list /commands=20
(think /help in alamak, but my /help will actually give you help)
there's also a grabber for /? or --help or -h or mixes thereof as a first=20
parameter of a command, to give you the help on that command instead (eg=20
`/example -h' gives the usage and long help for the command /example) this=
=20
is done before the command is invoked, so this will work for every command=
=20
(and be up-to-date, like all the command-help, it's automatically=20
generated, so it'll be as new as the commands themselves, unlike alamak)

from now on I'll try to get some done now and then during uni time, but no=
=20
promises, this is lower priority.

if anyone has any suggestions, as always, send 'em my way. might have=20
already considered it, but I might not have, and you might help me make it=
=20
better.

till the next one,
Adam
