+v1.1.174 (30 Sep 2018)
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Major new features
+- Axmud can now be run on on *BSD
+- Axmud releases are now available as an .RPM package
+- The installation guide (the INSTALL file) has been greatly expanded
+- The Axmud Guide and the Quick Help document have been converted to HTML, and
+    can now be read on the Axmud website. Markdown versions of the text can also
+    be found in /share/docs. The PDF/ODT version of the Axmud Guide have been
+    removed
+- Added support for ZMP (Zenith Mud protocol). The new 'zmptest' plugin
+    demonstrates how additional ZMP packages can be written. New client commands
+    ';zmp', 'sendzmp' and ';imputzmp'
+- Added support for AARD102 (Aardwolf 102 channels). New client command
+    ';aardwolf'
+- Added full support for MCP v2.1 (Mud Client Protocol). The implementation
+    includes the 'dns-org-mud-moo-simpleedit' package. The new 'mcptest' plugin
+    demonstrates how additional MCP packages can be written. New client command
+    ';mcp'
+- New hook events for these protocols - 'zmp', 'aard102' and 'mcp'
+- 'Free' windows (such as the Connections window, edit and preference windows)
+    were too small on some popular Linux distros and on *BSD. Axmud now
+    attempts to increase the default size of these windows, if it thinks the
+    default size isn't big enough. You can now set the default size yourself, if
+    you need to, using the ';setwindowsize' command (or in the client preference
+    window). The layout of the Connections window has been rearranged so that
+    increasing the default the size is necessary on fewer systems
+- Window tiling is still disabled on MS Windows. Axmud now remembers the size
+    and position of each type of window, so you only need to rearrange windows
+    on your desktop once. On Linux and *BSD, this functionality is turned off by
+    default, but can be turned on if you want to disactive window tiling
+    (using the ';disactivategrid' command). New client commands are available:
+    ';togglewindowstorage', ';applywindowstorage', ';dumpwindowstorage' and
+    ';clearwindowstorage'
+- A new type of random exit. When an exit leads to a randomly-generated area
+    every time you go through it, you can now set the exit so that Axmud
+    automatically creates a temporary region. Axmud will also try to detect
+    when you've arrived back at the original room and, at that point, the
+    temporary region is deleted
+
+Major fixes
+- Pueblo frames were 100% non-functional in the previous release. Fixed
+- Fixed crash in some Axbasic scripts that try to CALL a SUBroutine
+- Problems with clicking on exits in the automapper window were fixed in the
+    previous release, but apparently made the problems worse. Another fix has
+    been applied
+- Buttons in the automapper window's toolbar were not desensitised (greyed out)
+    correctly. Fixed throughout
+- World commands are normally echoed in the main window, in green. This can be
+    turned off, but handling of world commands in this situation was broken. The
+    problem has been fixed; in addition, echoing of world commands can now be
+    enabled/disabled in the Quick Preferences window (as well as in the client
+    preference window, as usual)
+
+Minor new features
+- The code handling incoming text from the world has been rewritten and
+    optimised somewhat. If you're connected to a world with dozens of colour
+    changes per line, you might notice a considerable performance improvement
+- The Debugger task has been renamed as the System task, and can now divert all
+    system messages (including ordinary yellow system messages) into its task
+    window. The colour of system messages is now preserved in the task window
+    (this behaviour can be turned off, if not wanted). The ';setdebuggermode'
+    command has been renamed as ';setsystemmode'
+- Regions can now be created with a generic name, e.g. 'unnamed_7',
+    'temporary_9'. When you're prompted for a name, just leave the box empty.
+    Temporary regions in the list on the left-hand side of the automapper window
+    are now drawn in italics, and separately from all other regions
+
+Minor fixes
+- Fixed incorrect handling of ATCP/GMCP data in ';simulatehook'
+- Fixed error in the Connections window caused when typing a replacement host
+    name
+- The ';axbasichelp' command now accepts keywords and function names in capital
+    letters (since they appear in all-caps throughout the documentation)
+- Fixed several buttons in the Object Viewer window, which were not able to
+    view handle various buffer lines correctly
+- When drawing 'wilderness' rooms, the first room in a region was incorrectly
+    drawn with exits. Fixed
+- The basic mudlist (the long list of worlds visible in the Connections window)
+    now names the Russian language using Cyrillic text
+- The default size for 'main' windows was not loaded from its data file. Fixed
+- Fixed problems with the aliases for ';allocateexit', e.g. ';north',
+    ';southwest', ';up', seen whenever the commands are typed with the wrong
+    arguments
+- Fixed several crashes seen when the automapper is tracking the current
+    location while the automapper window isn't open
+- Several other minor fixes
+
