This year, I plan to try and release new versions of CMUD roughly once a month. Some months might get more, and some less, depending upon what I'm working on.

For the next version, I will be focused on bug fixes reported in the first public version, and will lay the groundwork for the SSH stuff. This might actually be another public version depending upon how many changes are made.

I'll be working on the help files all next week, so you won't see this new version until sometime in February.

That's the current plan (subject to change :)

Great, those help files are on crack at the moment so it takes me quite a while to invent creative workarounds for the various bugs I run into. I await in eager anticipation for both developments.

You know what'd be great? If you could fix the auto parsing so people don't have to either stop using aliases, or have to remember to type ~ before half the punctuation so Cmud won't barf and have a screaming fit, or strip out the quotation marks jsut because you used an alias to page someone.

There isn't anything wrong with the auto-parsing. You have always had to put ~ before special characters in zMUD. There are many ways to control/disable the auto-parsing: put " around the entire command (same as zMUD) or alias argument (new to CMUD), press Ctrl-R to toggle command line parsing (same as zMUD), or put a ` line-escape character at the beginning of the line (new to CMUD).

For your aliases, using " quotes is usually the best way. If you have an alias called "page", use it like this:
