Development notes for Mutiny Community Version 5.7 - 2024-03-15

Changes to DND notifications, when you see someone entering or exiting Do Not Disturb (DND) mode.  Now it shows you their current location as well like:
Divarin: DND On @ Email
This is helpful due to a change in the previous version where someone logging in directly to the main menu would not show you that they have joined the chat channel "General".  When they leave the main menu and go to chat they technically aren't joining General at that time, they joined it on login because on this system you can't *not* be in a chat channel.  So now you'll see:
Jimbob: DND Off @ Chat (General)

When a user leaves the channel you're in for another channel that notification tells you which channel they're going to.  This isn't secret information you always could have seen it with a /who.

With the above two changes keep in mind you won't get notifications every time they go to any channel or into any sub-system only when their entering or leaving the channel you're in.

the /last synonym has been reassigned to "/e, /end" which takes you to the last chat message in the channel.

per the above, added "/first" which is a synonym for "/0" (go to message #0)

When you change to a channel (or join General on login) you are no longer shown the most recent chat message.  It used to look like:
Here is where you left off in General:
(and then some message)

This was sort of an unwanted side-effect of how the board aligns the message pointer with the new channel you're in, and now it's been "fixed".  This can be helpful when going through the channels and there's a big post in a channel that you've already read and don't want to have to reread it everytime you're cycling through then channels.

The up arrow which re-types the previous line is now a stack so you can hit up arrow again to re-type the line before that and the line before that.

You can also now use the down arrow to cycle to the next line in the history.

So up & down work as you might expect in dos (with DOSKEY loaded) or modern windows CLI, or any *nix system.  This can be done in chat or in the text files browser.
Although this might be a bit flakey at the moment.
