Changes:

• Christmas can be forced on at any time.
• Commands that were deprecated before have been re-deprecated correctly.
• All additional changes can be found in the pre-release thread.

TShock 4.0 will be releasing soon. A pre-release build is available for testing before this happens.

Changes:

• Log files are now formatted to be easier to read. Example: 2012-9-23-01-23-09 (Year, month, day, hour, minute, second)
• /mute now allows for a reason
• /auth and /p no longer work on the server
• Added permission nodes
• Fixed name, item drop crash, liquid removal, chest, and boulder exploits
• Damage cap is ignored if the damage is aimed at the origin player
• Chat colors are stored correctly
• Some fail grammar is fixed
• Color now outputs to the console in more cases
• Commands now allow for an option to disable the server's ability to execute them
• Implemented the NameCollision hook
• Several commands now point to different places for consistency
• Added chat above heads
• Deadlock issue fixed
• Fixed "Player has left" spam
• Everything from the last thread.

Lots of these fixes are the result of MarioE's fine dedication & hard work. There's probably a lot more. If I forgot something important I'll add it here again. Cheers!

They're directly caused by each other. We've stopped registration and we're now operating on a system that prevents registration until manual approval.

If anything else happens, email [email protected] and I'll handle it.

So recently, summer has come, effectively killing the team. I work full time during the summer, nicatron did something all summer, Deathmax has school. K0rd died in a horrible fire is busy with his real life, kids, promotions, etc etc.
However, MarioE has managed to keep tshock alive. Everyone give him an internet cookie.

With that being said, before the summer got started, we started a push to get a mythical release out, TShock 4.0 *GASP*. However, as soon as we did any changes, the team pretty much lost drive, with the lack of people updating to 3.9, the lack of terraria updates, etc etc.

Recently, it has come to our attention that we had a serious flaw in our authentication and handling of griefing clients. This allowed users to gain superadmin rights on your server. This has *hopefully* been fixed as of today, and we will likely be pushing a release this weekend.

In order to prepare plugin devs, I thought we would throw you guys a heads up that some internal stuff is likely going to change.

• SendMessage(string) has been deprecated. You now need to SendMessage(string, color) or use one of the new utility methods, SendWarning, SendError, and whatever the other one is.
• There is a bunch of grammar and output changes to alot of the code. This will impact everyone. Stuff will look different.
• Regions may or may not be a standalone plugin.
• Alot of the code has been documented, so anyone should be able to look at the code and kind of know what it does.
• Chat above heads?!?!? Yes, we added that in. However, it is not fully tested, 100% optional, and will break group prefix stuff. Simply put, Terraria clients append the players name before their message, and as the message we broadcast,by default, (prefix)(name)(suffix). So you end up with weird stuff like, Zack: <The bouse>Zack :hello. However you only see Hello above my head, which is the point of this. Essentially: If you dont care...
