Source for TinyMUD version 1.5.2 is now available by anonymous ftp
from lancelot.avalon.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.242.79); the file is
pub/tinymud-1.5.2.tar.Z.

Below is reproduced the list of changes from version 1.5.1; these are
mostly bug fixes, the only major user-visible change being the
optional addition of gender on players.

Version 1.5.2 is likely to be the last version of the current TinyMUD
code I will be distributing for some time, and appears to be fairly
stable.  As always, your actual mileage may vary.

================================================================
Changes in version 1.5.2:

Added Stephen White's pronoun substitution code under #ifdef GENDER.

Changed test for setting a created object's home to current room to
require control of the room instead of linkability.

Objects sent to rooms with @teleport go through dropto's.

Boolean operators can no longer appear in names.

Added rudimentary string compression under #ifdef COMPRESS.

Fixed missing OUTPUTPREFIX and OUTPUTSUFFIX on WHO command in interface.

Fixed various small bugs not caught in 1.5.1.
