--------------------------------------------------------------------


Major changes:
  * CHAT_SYSTEM option removed. If you don't want to use the chat system,
    use restrict.cnf to disable @channel, @chat, etc.
  * USE_MAILER and MAIL_ALIAS options removed. If you don't want to 
    use the @mail or @malias systems, use restrict.cnf to disable
    the associated commands.
  * QUOTA, EMPTY_ATTRS, and FUNCTION_SIDE_EFFECTS options are now 
    runtime options, instead of compile-time.
  * SINGLE_LOGFILE option removed, and log filenames are now 
    runtime options. You may now give the same name to
    multiple log files and get a more fine-grained version of the
    same effect. Based on ideas by Vadiv at M*U*S*H.
Minor changes:
  * New IP^ and HOSTNAME^ tests for boolexps. Suggested by Luke at M*U*S*H.
  * ALLOW_NOSUBJECT option removed. We always use the beginning of the
    message as the subject if one is not provided.
  * JURY_OK and UNINSPECTED_FLAG options removed. Use @flag to add
    flags if you need them. ONLINE_REG and VACATION_FLAG options
    removed (default to always defined, add or remove with @flag as
    desired).
  * MEM_CHECK option removed from options.h; it is now a runtime
    option in mush.cnf.
  * @function/restrict can be applied to softcoded @functions, and
    @function/add can accept a list of restrictions as a fifth argument.
    Patch by Luke at M*U*S*H.
  * log_walls run-time configuration option removed. Use the
    logargs option in restrict.cnf instead.
Fixes:
  * Crash bug in anonymous attributes fixed. Report by Intrevis at M*U*S*H.
  * lplayers() was broken. Report by T'orA at M*U*S*H.
  * Failing to create a player by providing a bad password now gives
    a better error. Suggested by [NJG].
  * Setting/clearing a chan title on a notitles channel works, but
    reminds you that titles are off. Suggested by Dan at InNomine.
  * haspower_restricted removed from mushcnf.dst to stop spurious
    warning on startup. Report by Nymeria at M*U*S*H.
