[MudNet-Announce] MudNet 4.0.2a

[Robby Griffin]

The updater for MudNet 4.0.2a is now available; see
http://www.mudnet.org/install-updates.php for instructions.

Changes in this release:

- hardcode fix for broken ansi in channel messages
- softcode fix for "I don't see that here." in mnpage and such
- softcode fix for inc() vs add() compatibility on RhostMUSH
- softcode fix for missing RhostMUSH flags
- softcode change to use Brandy Mailer by default on RhostMUSH
- softcode fix for connect/disconnect/repeat behavior (the sync
  command I mentioned did have a bug)
- softcode workaround for PennMUSH Huh? messages on mnwho
- softcode fix for lack of channel pose on PennMUSH

Thanks to all those who've upgraded quickly and helped in finding
and fixing these bugs. I'll probably adjust mncredits in the next
patchlevel.

Known issues remaining:

- non-player objects don't seem to be getting channel messages
- MudNet doesn't have permission to check a wizard's mnlock on PennMUSH,
  when safer_ufun is enabled (workarounds: add wizard's mnlock code to
  mnlock_world, or disable safer_ufun. the real fix may be different)
- reported ansi bleed in mninfo
- there's no mnhelp about mnlock (http://www.mudnet.org/help-locking.php)
- the install takes too long. note the abundance of comments and blank
  lines, I'll probably add a stripped version for faster installation
- Redwolf@Fallout suggests an mnupdate command to automatically install
  these updates. Yes, maybe next time.
- people forget MudNet's password and need to log in to update the
  softcode. @newpassword is fine, just resubmit it on the webform.
