Release v1.54.0 - MSSP server

Sorry. This release contains nothing fun, really. Unless you are into old Telnet protocols. No? I was afraid so. But hopefully, by implementing an MSSP server which will allow MU* crawlers to index Wolfery, more people may find us!

What is a MU* crawler, you ask? It is a site that lists the type of roleplaying worlds from which Wolfery is modeled. Check out MuNexus if you are curious.

Features

MSSP server

An MSSP (Mud Server Status Protocol) server allows MU* crawlers to fetch current info about our roleplaying world, how many characters are awake, what genre it is, etc. It is now available at:

telnet://wolfery.com:6455

Administration

Custom sweep message (admins)
Admins may now set a custom sweep message for the realm:

set config sweepMsg = sends home all the sleepers.

Thanks to @Makyo for pointing out the inconsistent use of past tense for sweep messages!
