I've spent the last week or so taking a break from Grid 4.0 and working on updates to the webclient. I've modernized the entire codebase for it (long overdue), and fixed a ton of bugs. I'll touch on the biggest changes here, and you can view the full list of changes in the CHANGELOG.
OPTIONS
This is no longer something that requires you to log out. It'll open in an overlay. All the options there work, and should persist between sessions. Due to the way settings were set on the old client, you may need to toggle a setting off, then toggle it back on, then restart the webclient, if you're having trouble getting it to stick. After that, it should work fine moving forward.
All the options work and are persisted between sessions.
I removed some options that were not used for anything and just taking up space.
FONTS
I've added some new fonts, you need to have some of them installed to use them, like comic-mono which is a dyslexia friendly font.
SHORTCUTS
There is a shortcuts menu now. It will tell you what shortcuts are available.
TOGGLING AUTO SCROLL
This used to be bound to the 'end' button and that was annoying to people so now it is bound to the 'pause' key, which not all keyboards have. Sorry, you'll have to double click or whatever.
UP / DOWN FOR PAST COMMANDS
I've updated how this works, to be much more intuitive and allow you to actually edit and move around the interior of a multi-line command/pose/whatever.
RECONNECTING
If you are disconnected, hitting reconnect will NO LONGER WIPE OUT YOUR BUFFER! No more losing your log for no freaking reason.
LOGGING
Speaking of logging, the log file is no longer buffer.html, it's Sindome.log.DATE_TIME.html
Should make it much easier to know what log is what and from when.
ADMIN STUFF
Admin add/edit notes, verbs, props, and other stuff in an editor that pops out a window for each thing they are editing. This is now using an IDE-like interface within a single window that uses tabs so they don't have to manage 57 windows of notes and props and other stuff. Should make life much easier. Wanted to do this for a long time for verb editing, but decided to roll it out for everything. Admin can still use the old style windows for each thing if they prefer.
GUEST / LOGGED IN BUG
There was a bug where when you clicked connect guest or logged in using your website account and connected with a character, it would keep using that to connect you if you hit connect manually. I fixed that.
COPY AND PASTING
If you copied multiple lines of text from your buffer into notepad or something else it would insert extra line breaks. This is fixed.
OTHER STUFF
All the modernization stuff I mentioned is behind the scenes. I fixed a bunch of different things and pulled out a bunch of not needed stuff like jquery. Shouldn't impact anyone using a browser from the past couple years.
WEBCLIENT RESTARTS
I think these changes I've made may remove the issue that was causing us to need to restart the webclient twice a week. I've disabled that restart for now. If we see the issue crop back up where the webclient starts freaking out or runs out of memory, I'll reenable it.
SPOTTED A BUG?
If you find a bug, submit it with @bug and I'll look at fixing it.
