Sometimes curses tears down and recreates all its windows (when the display is resized, for instance) and after doing that it repopulates the message window with data saved for use by ^P. But it was showing the oldest messages available rather than the most recent ones. There is still room for improvement. That process combines short messages but the refresh is based on the available number of lines; combining messages can result in lines at the bottom of the message window being left blank. This could be fixed by reverse-scrolling the window and inserting more messages at the top, or by combining short messages in history data instead of at refresh time. The second seems easier but won't handle changing the message window's width sensibly, and neither method handles wrapped, long lines well. A More>> prompt (possibly more than one) is issued if the refresh shows too many lines (either because long messages already took multiple lines or because the window has become narrower and ones which used to fit now need to be wrapped).

This fixes36.3 file is here to capture information about updates in the 3.6.x
|
|
lineage following the release of 3.6.2 in May 2019. Please note, however,
|
|
that another 3.6.x release is not anticipated, and most developer
|
|
focus will shift to the next major release.

General Fixes and Modified Features
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
when place_object() puts a non-boulder on the map at a spot which contains
|
|
other objects, put it under all boulders in the pile rather than just
|
|
under the top one; previously, map wasn't showing a boulder there if
|
|
the top one got moved by means other than pushing
|
|
when examining the map with '/' or ';', picking a symbol which is used for
|
|
more than 4 things yielded a sentence lacking its terminating period
|
|
billing and payment issue as a result of glob coalescing
|
|
glob pricing did not consider weight properly
|
|
glob shop interaction improved to handle more of the expected scenarios
|
|
non-flying steed on Plane of Water would drown when air bubble moved hero
|
|
xans fly, but could not reach your feet if you flew

Fixes to Post-3.6.2 Problems that Were Exposed Via git Repository
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------
|

|
|
|
|
Platform- and/or Interface-Specific Fixes or Features
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
curses: very tall menus tried to use selector characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9,
|
|
but 0-9 should be reserved for counts and if the display was tall
|
|
enough for more than 62 entries, arbitrary ASCII punctuation got used
|
|
curses: when all available lines in the message window are in use,
|
|
autodescribe feedback for 'pick a position with cursor' overwrote
|
|
the last line (usually the 'pick a position' prompt/hint), sometimes
|
|
leaving part of longer underlying line's text visible
|
|
curses: if message window is only one line, cancelling some prompts with ESC
|
|
left the prompts visible on the message line instead of erasing them
|
|
curses: support EDIT_GETLIN (but like with tty, it's disabled by default) to
|
|
pre-load an earlier response as the default answer for some prompts
|
|
curses: when display windows get reconfigured (after setting align_status,
|
|
align_message, statuslines, windowborders or due to external resize),
|
|
the message window was being refreshed with the oldest available N
|
|
messages rather than most recent N. [Still room for improvement;
|
|
when feasible it combines short lines, resulting in N messages on
|
|
fewer than N lines and leaving some of the available lines blank.]
|
|
tty: re-do one optimization used when status conditions have all been removed
|
|
and remove another that tried to check whether condition text to be
|
|
displayed next was the same as the existing value; sometimes new
|
|
status condition wouldn't be shown unless a screen redraw was forced
|
|
Windows: some startup error messages were not being delivered successfully
|
|
|
|
|
|
General New Features
|
|
--------------------
|
|
classify sources as released, beta, or work-in-progress via NH_DEVEL_STATUS
|
|
rather than just released vs beta via BETA
