Release Notes 2009-12-10

Brr

Hello Whirled Comrades,

Aside from lots of internal changes, we have the following for you:


 * Creation of Whirleds has now been opened up to all members. See the "create Whirleds" wiki page.
 * When entry is denied to a locked room, a feedback message is now shown. Unfortunately, the loading spinner is still visible. You should also be taken back to your previous location, or to your home room if you did not have a previous location.
 * The tutorial popup no longer prevents chat tabs from being clicked.
 * A new experimental HTML message editor for forum posts is now available. Click the "experiment" button on your next forum post to try it out. The new editor has a lot fewer bugs than the old one, but is a little fiddly when quoting posts that were created with the old editor. It also does not directly support links to images in your inventory, only URLs. For the curious, the editor is adapted from the open source TinyMCE code base. This message was posted using the new editor. Please post problems to Bug Hunters with something like "New Editor" in the subject. Thanks. Remember: you can always use the old one if you are just going to spew bile about how terrible it is when things change.
 * Font size and indent/outdent controls now work with in the old HTML message editor.
 * Correct styles are now loaded in the traditional HTML text editor.
 * There is now a scroll bar for the control panel in the flash image editor. This allows the Save and Cancel buttons to be accessible in smaller browser windows. They were previously accessible only by tabbing.

Until next time, good bye and happy Whirling.
