A patch update to address one rather urgent issue with text formatting.
Improvements
Text formatting
The entire text formatting function has been re-written. The reason for the rewrite was primarily because of a bug in the link parser that could crash the client for anyone receiving a link written in a certain way.
The improvements includes:
-
More robust formatting and HTML escaping.
-
Link formatting no longer vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking.
-
Links are no longer internally formatted. E.g.:
:shows a link -> https://example.com/test--this--linkwill not subscript “this”.
-
Commands are no longer internally formatted. E.g.:
ooc You can type: `set gender = --Unknown--`will not subscript “Unknown”, but instead produce:
-
Hovering a link will now show the URL, so you more easily know where the link goes:
-
Removed support for markdown-style link titles because of the reason above.
