Version 1.75 of AFKMud has been released.

This is a bugfix/feature enhancement release.
A patch file is attached to this post, and will only be available via this post.
You must use g++ to compile this release.

This will likely also be the last of the 1.7 line. We are beginning a move toward
changing over to C++ coding and frequent patches during this would prove destabalizing.
Any critical updates needed will most likely be issued in the form of forum updates.
( yeah yeah, I know it's been said before! You weren't supposed to notice! )

To apply: place the patch file in your afkmud directory and use the following:
patch -p1 < 175patch

This patch is intended for use on the original 1.7 package which was released on
March 6, 2005. If you have already applied any of the bugfixes in the forum post for 1.7 fixes
then the patch will likely fail. Proceed at your own risk.

Standard disclaimer type stuff: Changes in this version may or may not remain compatible with your
older support files, such as areas, commands, skills, socials, etc. If things break, you were warned.
