These will be added to release notes when the release is made. This page
|
|
only hold bug fixes and other minor tweaks: anything larger is covered by
|
|
[Inform evolution](https://github.com/ganelson/inform-evolution) proposals.

|
|
## Featurettes arising from bug reports, but too small for Inform Evolution proposals
|
|
|
|
- This was reported as Jira bug [I7-2087](https://inform7.atlassian.net/browse/I7-2087)
|
|
"three anonymous standard rules", but is arguably a feature request: that three
|
|
rules in the Standard Rules should have names. All three are simple rules, two
|
|
of them occurring early and late in the turn cycle to consider whether a scene
|
|
change has happened, and one as the fallback rule making an action succeed if
|
|
no rules have intervened in the process.
|
|
```
|
|
early scene changing stage
|
|
late scene changing stage
|
|
default action success rule
|
|
```
|
|
- Errors occurring in I6-syntax code, either in `(- ... -)` inclusions into I7
|
|
source text or in kit source code, are now reported more fully, with source
|
|
references and links provided. (A feature request for this was filed as
|
|
Jira bug [I7-2232](https://inform7.atlassian.net/browse/I7-2232).)
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
"Writing with Inform" and "The Recipe Book" benefit from a revision throughout to
|
|
remove unnecessary gender-binary language, mostly to do with pronouns attached
|
|
to "the player", or similar. The example `Blue or Pink` has become `Good or Evil`,
|
|
and now poses a moral rather than gender-based question.
|
|
|
|

([commit ce2b7ba](https://github.com/ganelson/inform/commit/ce2b7ba15b0431caf295316ee6c9fa4843c7251f)): the English word
|
|
`by` had been hard-wired, but is now printed using `BY__WD` instead, which

French `'par'`, for example

"List of action names ending with 23 bonus instances of waiting (i.e., action name 0)"
|
|
([commit b5c35fb](https://github.com/ganelson/inform/commit/b5c35fb98e6603d2f49c95e8031189a7dda1f0c8)): in fact those were
|
|
anonymous debugging actions from WorldModelKit, which are valid instances of
|
|
`action name` (and need to be for type safety reasons), but which were not
|
|
properly looped through or described. They now print as, e.g.,
|
|
`performing kit action ##ShowRelations`. As a fringe benefit, of sorts, such
|
|
actions now appear in the logging output of the ACTIONS command (except for
|
|
the actions needed to switch ACTIONS on and off, which are deliberately
|
|
excluded from this since they only add confusion to the story transcript).

"Standard 'deciding whether all include' rules don't apply to an actor."
|
|
([PR#113](https://github.com/ganelson/inform/pull/113))
|
|
|
|
- Cosmetic fixes not worth linking to (I7-2350, I7-2319, I7-2316, I7-2315, I7-2293, I7-2270, I7-2268, I7-2221, I7-2214, I7-2210)
|
|
|
|
## Bugs fixed but not from tracked reports
|
|
|
|
- Fix for a "very old quirk of I7 where it generates a `story.gblorb.js` file for
|
|
the interpreter website, but the filename is a lie. It's the base64-encoding
|
|
of the `story.ulx` file, not the `story.gblorb`." (Andrew Plotkin, not from Jira)
|
|
- "X is an activity on nothing" would incorrectly create an activity on objects,
|
|
resulting in an immediate contradiction. (Activities on nothing are not often
|
|
useful, which is why this bug has lasted so long.)
|
|
- "empty", as an adjective, was defined only on activities and rulebooks based
|
|
on objects
|
|
|
|
## Bugs fixed in the course of feature additions
|
|
|
|
Work done on Inform evolution proposal [(IE-0015) World model enforcement](https://github.com/ganelson/inform-evolution/blob/main/proposals/0015-world-model-enforcement.md)
|
|
fixes a number of known anomalies in the way that the standard world model
|
|
handled containment, incorporation and so on. This enabled a number of bugs to
|
|
be closed:
|
|
|
|
- [I7-2296](https://inform7.atlassian.net/browse/I7-2296)
|
|
on things being privately-named causing their printed names not to be used in room description
|
|
- [I7-2220](https://inform7.atlassian.net/browse/I7-2220)
|
|
on the definition of holding
|
|
- [I7-2219](https://inform7.atlassian.net/browse/I7-2219)
|
|
on directions being held
|
|
- [I7-2178](https://inform7.atlassian.net/browse/I7-2178)
|
|
on "if x is held by a supporter" resulting in false negative
|
|
- [I7-2158](https://inform7.atlassian.net/browse/I7-2158)
|
|
on "all" determiner tests failing with relations
|
|
- [I7-2128](https://inform7.atlassian.net/browse/I7-2128)
|
|
on holding relation tests failing for containment, support, or incorporation
|
|
- [I7-2046 = Mantis 2083](https://inform7.atlassian.net/browse/I7-2046)
|
|
on when containers holding concealed items say they are "(empty)"
|
|
- [I7-2036 = Mantis 2073](https://inform7.atlassian.net/browse/I7-2036)
|
|
on inconsistencies when containers or supporters holding concealed items are examined
|
|
|
|
Similarly, [(IE-0021) No automatic plural synonyms](https://github.com/ganelson/inform-evolution/blob/main/proposals/0021-no-automatic-plural-synonyms.md):
|
|
|
|
- [I7-1980 = Mantis 2016](https://inform7.atlassian.net/browse/I7-1980)
|
|
on understanding things by plural name of kind
|
|
|
|
## Note about intest
|
|
|
|
- On MacOS, `intest` is supplied inside the app for testing examples in the
|
|
documentation of extension projects: a bug has been fixed which caused the
|
|
test scripts in such examples to be wrongly extracted if characters appeared
|
|
after the final double-quote of the test script (for example, any redundant
|
|
white space). This isn't strictly speaking a core Inform bug fix, but it
|
|
affects some users.
