Current Status

1. editor - done 3/9/6
2. object timestamping - done 3/9/6
3. enhanced account support
4. SQLite database support
5. missing vt102/xterm support - done 3/12/6 (well I got finished what I needed. Probably even more could be done and some bugs as this is a very big and naughty beast)
6. make exits core objects
7. fail/success messages - done 3/10/6
8. prompt/status bar - done 3/9/6
9. security system - done 3/13/6
10. help system
11. TML review and cleanup

(2) and (3) will most definately be in 2.9 and will cut a release when working.

The rest may or may not get done for 2.9.

(6) I'm still ambivalent about exits as first class objects, but I'd like to get the core objects stable (not that the traditional directed graph representation of mud virtual world is what TeensyMud will be limited to). It changes the move code a bit but simplifies the trigger mechanism.

(10) Right now help is linked to commands. Leaning towards editable help objects. And there are many generic messages in the code. I'm deciding whether to put generic messages in the data store itself as individual objects like helps, make a message configuration file, or make a singleton system message object in the store. I'm leaning towards the latter.

(11) Some cleanup and additions to TML have been done as needed.
