GammaMOO 1.8.2g4rc2 has been released. It can be downloaded from:
	http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/gammamoo/

Known Bugs (does not include those that apply to LambdaMOO):
-- Invalid UTF-8 sequences are not always rejected and may have unpredictable
   behavior.
-- The base conversion builtin function does not recognize UTF-8 and will use
   octets instead of characters.
-- eol-in/out may not function properly with data received prior to these
   options being changed (similar to the binary mode issue)
-- Builtin functions borrowed from list utilities will freeze the MOO until
   they complete. Due to this issue, the affected functions are temporarily
   wizard-only.
-- The server can be crashed or paniced by wizards if OID namespaces are used
   improperly, or even properly.
-- Constructs such as ++list[--count] will decrement count twice
-- eval() discards compile warnings on success
-- E_RANGE is not always raised when referencing beyond the end of a Unicode
   string
-- unicodestr[$] does not work properly

ChangeLog since 1.8.1g3r1:
Version 1.8.3, in progress
-- SF bug #887464: fixed a bug in the server's startup processing, in which it
   scans for unknown built-in functions in active verbs (Thanks luke-jr and
   Gavin Lambert for reports and patches.)
-- Server will report progress every few seconds (rather than every 10k objects)
   during potentially long-running operations (loading, validating, writing)
-- New validation algorithms for cycle-detection and hierarchy checking vastly
   decrease startup time on large databases.
-- SF bug #1552816: fixed an issue that could cause tracebacks in emergency mode
   to produce "Unknown Var type" errors
-- SF bug #1500775: fixed two use-after-free bugs that could lead very rarely to
   calling the wrong functions during player connection (Thanks Garance Drosehn
   for the report and initial patch.)
**** Changes relevant to programmers / wizards:
-- SF bug #227620: add_verb() now returns (positive integer) verb index
-- bf_crypt() now passes salts longer than 2 characters to the underlying C
   function.  This works fine for traditional DES crypts and supports modern
   modular crypts like FreeBSD's.  See the Programmers Manual for more details.
-- bf_queued_tasks() entries include a 10th element (size of the task in bytes)
-- bf_open_network_connection() accepts an optional third argument that
   associates a specific listener object with the new connection.  This
   simplifies a lot of outbound connection management.
-- network input is suspended on new connections until after the initial
   #0:do_login_command call returns.  Thus do_login_command may now reliably
   set binary mode without losing data.
-- connection_option()/connection_options()/set_connection_option() now
   recognize the following new options:
   (*) "intrinsic-commands"
       which determines which (if any) of the commands
          .program
          PREFIX
          SUFFIX
          OUTPUTPREFIX
          OUTPUTSUFFIX
       will be recognized on that connection.  Option value is a list 
       of strings, but set_connection_option() also accepts any numeric
       value, in which case all 5 intrinsic commands are enabled/disabled
       according to the value being true/false.
   (*) "disable-oob"
       which, if set true, disables all out-of-band command processing 
       on subsequent input lines, i.e., the server behaves for that 
       connection as if OUT_OF_BAND_PREFIX had never been #defined.
       Out-of-band quoting (see below) is likewise disabled.
-- If "disable-oob" is set false (as it is by default), then it is now the case
   that all out-of-band lines will be processed as out-of-band commands (i.e.,
   by #0:do_out_of_band_command) if no 'flush' command intervenes; setting of
   "hold-input" and/or making intervening read() calls will not affect this.
   (This fixes a bug whereby read() sometimes snarfed out-of-band lines.)
-- Setting connection_option "binary" now disables all out-of-band processing
   on that connection.
**** Changes significant to people compiling and running the server:
-- several fixes for warnings, wrong use of free() vs myfree(), etc.
-- fixes to support modern toolchains (bison, autoconf, ...)
-- Admins can trade faster startup for increased memory consumption by
   disabling STRING_INTERNING in options.h
-- Added a new compile option (MEMO_STRLEN in options.h) that optimizes away
   most strlen computations.
-- A new OUT_OF_BAND_QUOTE_PREFIX is added; any player input lines that begin
   with this string will be stripped of this prefix and processed normally, even
   if the resulting line begins with OUT_OF_BAND_PREFIX.  This provides a means
   for quoting lines that would otherwise trigger do_out_of_band_command.
-- If the server is compiled with OUTBOUND_NETWORK, this may now be  explicitly
   enabled/disabled from the server command line using +O and -O respectively.
-- If the server is compiled with NP_TCP, there is now a command line option
   `-a SOURCE-ADDRESS' to bind and listen on a specific interface, instead of
   all interfaces.
-- Fixed some flushing issues with emergency wizard mode (-e).
   The server now behaves a bit more sensibly when stdin comes from a pipe.
   stdout and stderr are now closed if they are not being used.
   (Outside of emergency wizard mode, stdout is only used on an an NP_SINGLE
   server; stderr is only used if no logfile (-l) is specifed.)
**** Changes relevant to server hackers:
-- New call_verb2() accepts verb name that is a MOO string (ie, str_ref-able)
-- str_hash() replaced with a faster (and better?) string hash function

Version 1.8.2g4, 31 Jan 2008 (pending)
-- function_info() now returns a fifth field of data with a list of
   named pairs. Currently, it includes only the 'protected' flag.
-- "Player recycled" tracebacks are only logged when the object being
   recycled is actually a player.
-- Better support for pre-C99 compilers.
-- INCOMPLETE and VERY DANGEROUS support for OID namespaces
