Features
Signed events
Starting with this release, all events will now have a digital signature.
What does this mean?
Simply put; older logs (starting from this release) can now be used as untamperable proof in reports, even if they are sent from the store of someone’s browser. This means Wolfery may continue its policy of not persisting any communication logs on the server, while still providing the moderators the untamperable logs needed to make correct decisions.
About area command
A new command has been added to show the About info for the area of the current room:
about area
Improvements
Filtering out Hangul fillers
Hangul fillers are no longer allowed as part of names.
Thanks to Zayne for making us aware of this issue!
Wakeup renaming
The Wakeup button has been renamed to Wake up.
Thanks to @Halstrick for reporting it in this thread.
Present tense in awake/sleep messages
The message seen when a character wakes up of falls asleep was written it past tense, against the principles in the Wolfery Roleplaying Guide. This has been changed to present tense:
Accipiter wakes up.
Accipiter falls asleep.
Thanks to @Riverrynn for reporting it in this thread.
Panel page “close” icon change
The icon used to close a page in one of the panels has been changed from an X (close) to a left-pointing arrow to indicate returning back to previous page:
Thanks to @Talon for passing on @Riverrynn’s ideas in this thread. And also to @Jagrabbit for providing good suggestions to choose from!

Different areas may have additional rules. See the area’s About section, or type:about area
Reporting of moderators
The help regulate topic has now an additional section clarifying how to report moderators:
Report a moderator
It is completely fine to report moderators if you find them acting abusive or unjust. When reporting a moderator, another moderator will review the report and get in contact with you. Remember to keep your own language respectful.
Bug fixes
Deleted characters in Watch list
If a player deletes a character, anyone who had that character in their Watch list would see someone named undefined. It would also cause the console to fail with tab completion on full name commands such as mail. This has been fixed.
Thanks to @Xetem for reporting both effects in this thread and this thread
Administration
Additional builder perks (builder)
Builders can now freely change the owner of rooms and areas.
Not sure why they were not allowed to do this before.
Builders cannot edit exits (builder)
Due to a bug, builders were not able to use the GUI to edit exits of rooms they did not own. This has been fixed.
