TinyMUSH

Introduction

TinyMUSH 3 began as a project to fuse the TinyMUSH 2.2 and TinyMUX codebases, in an effort to create a best-of-breed server that combined the best features and enhancements of both, and then built additional innovations and increased stability on top of that merged codebase.

Development

TinyMUSH 3.0 is not a rewrite; we wanted to maintain close to 100% backwards compatibility, and the sheer scope of effort that would have been necessary in order to create a new server from scratch was beyond our available time resources. However, every line of the code has been gone through in the process of creating TinyMUSH 3.0. A large number of bugs have been fixed, portions have been rewritten to be cleaner and more efficient, and a slew of new features have been added. TinyMUSH 3.1 and beyond will extend this further, providing a solidly stable server, improved efficiency, and many feature enhancements.

TinyMUSH 3.0

The initial TinyMUSH 3.0 release was jointly developed by David Passmore and Lydia Leong; Robby Griffin joined the team with the release of 3.0 beta 18, and Scott Dorr joined with the release of 3.0 beta 23, and the team expects to continue to maintain TinyMUSH 3 into the forseeable future. Though we will continue to welcome contributions from the MUSH community, we expect to remain the primary developers. We believe that this will be a major platform of choice for MUSH users in the future, and we highly encourage existing TinyMUSH 2.2 and TinyMUX 1.x users to upgrade.

TinyMUSH 3.1

TinyMUSH 3.1 was jointly developped by David Passmore, Lydia Leong, Robby Griffin and Scott Dorr. Eddy Beaupre joined at TinyMUSh 3.1 patchlevel 1 and the move of the project to Sourceforce.

TinyMUSH 3.2

TinyMUSH 3.2 was mostly developped by Lydia Leong.

TinyMUSH 3.3

TinyMUSH 3.3 is no longer being developped and never left alpha stage.

TinyMUSH 4.0

TinyMUSH 4.0 is the current development branch, it is still in alpha stage.

Installation

Since TinyMUSH 4.0 is currently in alpha, there will be bugs and time where the server will probably not even compile. But feel free to test and provide feedback.

See INSTALL for an overview of the installation process.
