Your client can see the game now

5.3.82 · September 6, 2026

 - Your client can read the game directly: Kallisti now speaks
   GMCP, so a client like Mudlet can be handed your health, mana and
   stamina, what you are wearing slot by slot, the room you are in,
   who you are fighting, your group, your affects and your account
   progress -- live, without scraping the text.  If you build
   interfaces or scripts, this is for you; if you do not, nothing
   about how the game reads has changed.
 - whois showed a stale last-logon: the account login time was
   not written to disk until later, so whois could report a login
   days out of date -- and NEWS used that same stamp to decide what
   you had already read.  Both are correct now.  (Reported by
   Spencer.)
 - Item details read in the right order: an object with several
   things to look at returned them reversed, so looking at one detail
   could show you another.
 - Right-leg gear now says right leg: equipment listed an item
   worn on your right leg as being on your left.
