1.8.7
2015-05-21
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
+ Bluetooth keyboard commands for switching sessions! Control+` (back-tick) will switch to the next World. Control+1,2,3, or 4 will switch to that World.
+ Bluetooth keyboard movement commands have been tweaked for better compatibility with VoiceOver. The new keys are: Command+←→↑↓ for W/E/N/S, and Command+Control+←→↑↓ for SW/NE/NW/SE.
+ Restored the Bluetooth Keyboard preference and removed some faulty auto-detection logic. When you have an external Bluetooth connected, enable Settings → Advanced → Bluetooth Keyboard.
+ Session logs are now saved as plain text files, both for emailing within MUDRammer as well as downloading via iTunes.
+ Worlds should no longer be marked as unread if the only change is a line that was suppressed by one of your Gags.
+ Fixed an issue when attempting to copy a blank line of text.
+ Fixed a crash related to processing cursor-position commands.
1.8.6
2015-04-22
+ Fixed a crash related to processing screen-clear commands. MUDRammer is deeply embarrassed and shrinks into its shell, forfeiting two full levels of experience.
+ VoiceOver should now only speak text related to the currently displayed world.
Previously in MUDRammer 1.8.5:
MUDRammer has discovered an ancient tome of arcane knowledge!
New abilities unlocked:
+ Tap a row of text to quickly add a new Trigger or Gag for that text!
+ Set a custom command separator for multiple commands in your Triggers, Tickers, and text inputs. No longer semicolons only!
+ MUDRammer will now process text and run triggers and gags for all connected Worlds, not only the visible World.
+ 12 new Trigger and Ticker sounds from the Mirani sound pack!
+ Handoff support! iOS 8 users can start browsing a web page in MUDRammer and continue browsing on another device on the same iCloud account.
+ Added asterisk (*) to the character bar. Enable it in Settings → Advanced → Character Bar.
Plus:
+ Restored the missing Copy action when tapping on a row of text.
+ Aliases and Gags on the World editor list are now sorted alphabetically (previously by last modified date).
+ Improved file names for session logs to include the World's hostname and a human-readable date (e.g. "nanvaent.org - 3-15-15, 12:00pm")
+ Simple Telnet Mode will now also ignore cursor positioning, line clear, and screen clear commands.
+ Increased the delay for World connect commands from 3 to 5 seconds.
+ Switched NE/SE/NW/SW Bluetooth keyboard commands from CONTROL+OPTION+←→↑↓ to CONTROL+COMMAND+←→↑↓ for better compatibility with VoiceOver.
+ Squashed some extra blank lines that appeared when 'Echo Typing' is disabled.
MUDRammer will never interrupt you while you're mudding and is crafted in one person's spare time. If you enjoy MUDRammer, please consider leaving a review -- it really helps. Thanks!

1.8.4
2015-03-06
MUDRammer has leveled up its STRENGTH, DEXTERITY, and INTELLIGENCE.
STRENGTH:
+ MUDRammer has a powerful and fast new ANSI parser with new support for cursor positioning. Newly supported CSI codes include: cursor up, cursor down, cursor forward, cursor back, cursor next line, cursor previous line, cursor horizontal absolute, cursor position, erase display, and erase in line.
DEXTERITY:
+ New connect commands! Save one or more commands with your World that will be sent 3 seconds after connecting.
+ 4 new sounds for your Triggers and Tickers!
INTELLIGENCE:
+ Bluetooth Keyboard movement keys! If you have a Bluetooth keyboard connected, you may use CONTROL+←→↑↓ to move w/e/n/s and CONTROL+OPTION+←→↑↓ to move sw/ne/nw/se.
+ MUDRammer is smarter about detecting whether you've connected a Bluetooth keyboard. Accordingly, the Bluetooth Keyboard setting in Advanced Preferences has been removed.
+ MUDRammer is more forgiving about detecting taps on URLs and links. If you're still having trouble tapping on links, try increasing your font size in Settings → Themes.
+ Accessibility: as you scroll up and down, MUDRammer will now announce your page offset (e.g. Page 2 of 4).
+ Accessibility: scrolling up will focus VoiceOver on the last row of the new page. Scrolling down will focus VoiceOver on the first row of the new page.
+ Accessibility: MUDRammer should be smarter about VoiceOver timeouts and not skipping text.
