CoffeeMud Version 5.1.5

Released on Jul 26, 2006

MCCP is now disabled in the coffeemud.ini file by default. What I thought was a really frisky bug in CoffeeMud turned out to be a problem in the zlib.jar file we are using. The bug causes player output lockup about once per day on my mud. I recommend you disable it until I can replace the library.

Also, I did get primary hacking on the Mystery Engine completed, but will have to wait for the next build to see the debugged version with lots of example mystery quests.

As always, this build is in the "stable" directory.

1. HELP changes: VISIBLE command is better documented in relavant spells/skills, RANGE entry added.
