[2.15] Upgrade from 1.34- Includes one crash
 
So I havn't used the beta version at all. I was current up to 1.34, and decided to bump up to 2.15 for my own greedy purposes as well as to give an objective report of the upgrade. I've only had 2.15 up for a half hour or so. The install went fine as far as I know, no issues popped up, I reinstalled the 2.15 over my 1.34 install.
Please bear with me as I'm not up to speed on the intended functionality and code changes so some of this may be intended.
1. One of my scripts which worked fine under 1.34 didn't work in 2.15, a bracketing issue came up within a #yesno command.
Code:
#yesno "Would you like to add this item?" {
  #write 1 {really long group of variable references}
  #close 1
  #show should have written
  }

I deleted all of the line breaks and put semicolons where they were, to make one string that cmud could reformat as desired. This didn't work, and I havn't fixed it. This led to my next problem
2. I opened the help->contents file from the settings editor, and put #yesno in the search box and then hit search. This gave me a crash window and asked if I wanted to continue. I just tried it again, and reproduced it. Just after writing that I tried to open the help file again, this time the crash box opened and didn't even give me the chance to continue. It just closed everything.

I know zugg asked for only major stuff, but he also asked for testers to install from 1.34 to 2.15, so I plan to keep adding to this thread with what I find. I'd think he'd want to fix the help crash bug prior to 2.16


The below was an addition to my original post. At Vigilante's request I've started a new thread for the #write bug so please disregard the #write discussion below

Ok, so after originally posting this, I did a bit more messin around and it doesn't appear #write is working
I made the code
Code:
#file 2 wrtitingtestfile.txt
#write 2 {crapola it worked}
#close 2
under an alias called writetest, ran it and nothing happened. Could be that I have the syntax wrong, but I can't use the help system to check it Crying or Very sad

Now I also see the bug with #YESNO in the original post. I guess I will split off the help issue. The problem with #YESNO can be demonstrated with this procedure.

1. Launch CMud
2. Close Sessions window (ESC)
3. Enter at the command line
Code:
#YESNO "abc" {test;test2}

4. Click on the yes button in the popup.

Bah, I was testing that in my main session where I have an alias named "test" that I forgot about. So ignore my previous post.
