0.96.1, October 28, 2026

See your commands in the scrollback, between the lines of the game.

Changed

• The scrollback that Vosh restores when you open it again also keeps your commands, on all systems. Vosh never keeps a command that sends a password.

• Restore from a backup returns a profile to an earlier version.

Changed

• The command line shows how many lines wait, and a click on the count stops them.
• Change the speed, or turn the pace off, on the Input page of Settings under Advanced.

• A session chip in the top bar shows your character, in place of the old connect row.

• At the top or bottom of the window, the vitals take a width in pixels and a place at the left, center or right.
• A vital below 20 percent turns red and pulses. It stays red until it is above 25 percent, so a small gain does not make it flash.

• The command palette opens with Cmd+K, or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux, and runs commands, shows or hides panels, opens Settings tabs and runs aliases.
• You can show the session, a log and a chat feed in panes of the terminal area, and the status bar lists them.
• Right click the terminal to open a menu of its actions.

Changed

• The new Settings window puts every tab in a rail at the left, in groups with their own icons. The groups are Appearance, HUD, Automation, Characters, Session and Tools.
• Every control in Settings has the same style, with underlined fields and boxed lists, and Typography and Tick & chips are tabs of their own.
• Steps that gave no feedback now ask you to confirm or show a small note in the corner. Vosh asks before it deletes a theme.
• Terminal tint follows each theme by default, and Obsidian Ember has its pastel ANSI colors on.
• The prompt on the command line is one chevron.
• The command line gets the focus again after you copy terminal text, or after a middle click moves the scrollback to the bottom.
• PageUp and PageDown scroll the scrollback, and the terminal keeps its size.

0.6.5, August 10, 2026

Immortals can see the work in their staff queues in a new panel.

• Only the queues that need work show, and the most urgent queues are at the top.

• The game sends no staff data to mortals, so the panel stays empty for them.

0.6.4, August 6, 2026

Triggers and aliases save themselves, and each macro key shows its command when you press it.

New

Changed

• Triggers, aliases and the on or off state of each group save themselves a few seconds after you change them, and again when you quit.

Fixed

• New triggers and aliases stay after a restart. Before, they disappeared.
• When you turn off a group, every item in it stops, and this includes the items that are on.
• A save from the editor keeps the groups that you turned off. Before, it turned them all on again.
• When you turn off all loadouts, your catalog stays dormant through restarts and profile changes.
• When you fight blinded characters, the group pane shows one row for each name. Before, it filled with copies of "someone".
• The map draws one time for each move, not five times, so an open map pane does not make your commands slow.
• A middle click that opens or closes the scrollback split keeps the focus on your command line, so Enter and your macro keys still work.

0.6.3, July 5, 2026

Use a scrollbar, drag the scrollback split smoothly, and see a custom prompt that does not flash.

New

• A thin scrollbar at the right edge of the terminal shows your position in the scrollback. Drag its thumb to move through the text, or click the track to go to a point.
• A middle click opens the scrollback split, and a second middle click returns you to the live text.
• When you select text, a short note "copied N chars" shows in the bottom corner, so you know that the text is on your clipboard.

Changed

• The divider of the scrollback split moves with your mouse one pixel at a time, not one row at a time.
• You can grab the divider anywhere that it shows the resize cursor, and that cursor stays on the divider. Before, the cursor showed over the whole terminal.
• Your typed command is on the same row as the custom prompt, as in a MUD.

Fixed

• On the native renderer, long lines wrap between words. Before, they broke in the middle of a word at the right edge.
• The text does not jump when the scrollback split opens for the first time.
• The split divider color setting works on the native renderer, and a change shows at once.
• A click in the terminal puts the focus on the command line again, as a click in any other part of the window does.
• The custom prompt draws again in place and does not flash. Before, it showed a blank row, moved the text higher for a frame or left a blank line above it.
• On a server that ends its lines in an unusual way, your typed commands do not cover the prompt.

0.6.2, July 4, 2026

Color fields wait until you type a full color, and the macro and trigger lists are easier to use.

New

• The tick warning color takes hex such as #ff8800, short hex such as #f80 and 256 color numbers such as 196, and also color names.
• Preset triggers are in their own section, which you can collapse.
• Type a group name in the group field of a preset trigger to move it to one of your groups.

Changed

• The row for a new macro is at the top of the macros panel, so you do not need to scroll to add a key.
• Macro and trigger groups stay collapsed as you left them, after you change tabs or restart.

Fixed

• The group that you set on a preset trigger stays after a restart. Before, the next launch removed it.
• Settings does not make the window blank while you type a color. Before, half a color made parts of the window transparent.
• The theme editor and the color fields for the split divider and sent commands use only a full color. If you leave a typo, the field returns to the last good color.

0.6.1, July 2, 2026

Try the native renderer on Windows and Linux.

New

• On Windows and Linux, type #nativesurface on to use the native GPU renderer for the terminal. Then restart Vosh.
• #nativesurface off uses the previous renderer on any system, and #nativesurface default uses the default of your system.
• The native renderer stays the default on macOS only, because nobody has tested it yet on real Windows and Linux computers.
• If the terminal looks wrong, #nativesurface off and a restart return it to the previous renderer. A report of what you saw is a big help.
• #help and the help in the app list the new command.

0.6.0, July 2, 2026

On macOS, see a smoother terminal, click links in the game text, and color more of your custom prompt.

New

• On macOS, the terminal draws on a native GPU surface by default, so it scrolls more smoothly in heavy fights.
• Move the pointer over a URL in the terminal, and it turns blue with an underline. Cmd+click the URL to open it in your browser.
• The custom prompt can color any part with color names, 256 color numbers, RGB values or hex codes, for the text and the background.
• A number in your prompt can take its color from its percent, so your health changes from green to yellow to red.
• Bold, italic, underline, inverse and strikethrough work inside the prompt, and new tokens show the time, the date and percents. The hint in Settings shows how to write them.
• Turn on Bright text as bold on the General page of Settings to show bright text in the bold font. With it off, bright text has the normal weight.

Changed

• On macOS, the scrollback split, your saved scrollback, selection and find all work on the new surface.
• On macOS, a drag selects text and copies it when you release the mouse, Cmd+C copies, and find takes a regex and marks each match.
• On macOS, the new surface keeps your theme colors, the tint switch, your exact font size and weight, and the echo of your commands.
• If the terminal looks wrong on macOS, set vosh.nativesurface to 0 in the local storage of DevTools. Then reload to use the previous renderer.
• Windows and Linux keep the previous renderer for now, because the native renderer needs tests on real computers first.

Fixed

• Menus and dialogs over the terminal show in full. Before, part of them was behind the terminal.
• The text under a menu or a dialog does not move while it is open.
• When you select text in the live part of an open scrollback split, you get the correct characters.

0.5.3, June 25, 2026

Open the scrollback split, and your history shows at once.

Fixed

• The history pane of the scrollback split shows your scrollback when it loads, so it is never blank and never slow.
• The pause that an earlier fix added before the text showed is gone, and the GPU renderer stays the default.

0.5.2, June 23, 2026

See your history the first time that you open the scrollback split.

Fixed

• The history pane shows text on your first scroll again. Before, from 0.5.0, a split that you opened with the mouse wheel or PageUp could stay blank until a second scroll.

0.5.1, June 23, 2026

See your history when you open the scrollback split.

Changed

• The history pane draws with the standard renderer, so it shows every time, and the live pane keeps the GPU renderer.

Fixed

• The history pane of the scrollback split is not blank when the split opens. Before, it showed nothing while the scroll depth counter increased.

0.5.0, June 23, 2026

Send many lines from the command line at once, use the GPU renderer, and find your way in a simpler Settings.

New

• The command line takes more than one line, with a number for each line at the left. Press Shift+Enter to start a new line.
• When you press Enter, each line goes to the game as a separate command, so you can send a full sequence at one time. One line works as before.
• The Vitals tab has a live preview, and you drag it to change the fill and see your glyph, color, layout and percent choices.

Changed

• The vitals readout and the tick timer each have a tab of their own in Settings.
• The GPU renderer is the default, so the terminal scrolls more smoothly in a burst of output. If the GPU stops, the terminal changes to the software renderer and does not become blank.
• To use the old renderer, turn off GPU rendering on the General page of Settings. Then reload.
• The Settings window has clear section headers over its tabs, and many labels and hints are shorter and plainer.
• New profiles start with the Kanso Zen theme.
• Vosh is faster under load, because output gets to the screen with less work. Logs save in batches, and triggers repeat less work on each line.

Fixed

• A paste of more than one line does not clear the text that you typed. The paste sends each line, and your typed text stays, selected or not.
• The last text that the game sends when you quit goes to the terminal, the scrollback and the session log. Before, those lines disappeared, so your next launch did not show them.
• The window stays smooth in heavy output and does not lose frames on each round of a fight.
• The match counter in the find toolbar stays steady while output arrives. Before, it changed as each new line arrived.

0.4.3, June 7, 2026

Drag the divider of the scrollback split, and the top pane moves over the live pane as in CMUD.

Changed

• As you move the divider, the top pane becomes larger or smaller over the live pane.
• The text stays in place while you drag. Both panes use one scrollback, so the rows that the top pane shows match the top of the live pane.

Fixed

• Each snap draws in one step, so the shake at each snap and the refresh after you release the divider are gone.
• When you close the split with a scroll to the bottom, Esc or a middle click, the text does not visibly reflow.

0.4.2, June 7, 2026

Drag the divider of the scrollback split smoothly, as in CMUD.

Changed

• The live pane stays in place in the background, and the history pane is on top of it, with a height that the divider sets.
• As you drag, the divider moves over the live output, and both panes stay in place.
• The divider snaps to full rows, so it stops between lines and never cuts a line in half at the bottom of the history pane.

Fixed

• When you release the divider, nothing reflows. Before, the rows shook one at a time and jumped when you released it.

0.4.1, June 6, 2026

Pick one of five new themes, use a target variable, and turn a group on or off with one command.

New

• Five new themes are in the Theme list on the General page of Settings.
• Dracula at Night puts the purple, green and pink of Dracula on darker window colors, and Monokai has the Sublime colors with their magenta accent.
• One Dark has the cool slate look of the Atom editor, and One Half Dark gives it brighter text and cooler surfaces.
• Tango Dark is the GNOME Terminal theme, with strong primary colors on a warm dark background.
• A new ${target} variable holds the name that you last set with tar. Use it in an alias such as kill ${target}, or in the Send of a trigger such as bash ${target}.
• In Lua, read the target with mud.var("target").
• ${target} clears when you disconnect or type tarclear, and trigger patterns and highlights do not expand it.
• Type #group <name> on or #group <name> off to turn the triggers, aliases and macros of a group on or off together. For example, turn on a highlight group for one fight, and then turn it off.
• #group <name> alone shows if the group is on for triggers, aliases and macros, and #groups lists every group in your profile.
• In Lua, mud.set_group_enabled(name, enabled) does the same as #group.

Fixed

• The percent chip in the template vitals layout is level with the text around it. Before, that text looked taller and looser than in the plain inline layout.
• When your saved scrollback is short, game output starts at the bottom of the terminal, as it does when the scrollback is empty. Before, it collected in the middle with a large gap when you connected.

0.4.0, June 5, 2026

Write Lua in aliases and triggers, get vitals from your prompt, and see doors and new vitals styles.

New

• Aliases and triggers can run Lua in a sandbox, with the capture groups of the match in a captures table. You write the code in a new code editor in Settings, in lua mode for an alias or a Script effect for a trigger.
• The new #prompt {regex} command, as in TinTin, takes your vitals from any prompt that the server sends. Each named capture, such as (?<hp>\d+), sets the value of the same name and has priority over GMCP.
• Values from your prompt use the chip style that you picked in Settings. Vosh gags the line that matches, and #unprompt removes the rule.
• #prompt works with no GMCP, so your bar can show vitals from the prompt of a MUD that sends none over GMCP.
• The trigger editor has a new target list. Prompt matches the open prompt that the server sends at GA or EOR, and line, the default, matches full lines.
• The map shows hidden doors in pink dashes, closed doors in amber and locked doors in red. These states come from the GMCP map data, and a hidden door with no room after it shows as a short line.
• Your own commands go into session log files with a > in front, so #log search finds both sides of the session.
• On macOS, spell check works in the input line, but it checks only chat lines that start with say, tell, gossip, emote and similar commands. Game commands do not get a red line.
• On macOS, spell check is off at first, and the spell check chat lines switch on the General page of Settings controls it.
• Two new vitals styles, drain and badge, show each vital as a chip, and drain fills and glows in the color of the vital.
• Pick drain or badge in the new inline style list in Settings, then Panels, then Panes, then Vitals. Plain stays the default.
• The new % mode list colors the percent in drain and badge, from the color of the vital to red as the value decreases. Its other choices keep the color of the vital or make the percent pink.
• The new % chip list puts the percent of the inline and template layouts in a pill, soft tint, glow ring or drain fill. It also works with the %pct_hp, %pct_mn and %pct_mv tokens, and it is plain until you pick a chip.

Changed

• Commands that you type show in the history pane of the scrollback split, next to the game output, with no delay. The scrollback that Vosh restores at your next launch holds only game output.
• Commands joined with ; or a line break go to the game as separate lines, and the escapes \\, \; and \\\n still work.

Fixed

• The terminal scroll is calmer with a trackpad, and small, unsteady movements do not start a long scroll.
• A trigger such as a disarm chain does not send get 1.;wield 1. to the game as one broken line.
• A trigger that gags a line and echoes text from Lua puts the echo where the gagged line was. Before, you saw a blank row and then the echo on a new line.
• A new session with no scrollback starts output at the bottom of the terminal, also after you resize the window. Before, a large gap showed between your last prompt and the room strip and vitals chip.
• #profile load and #profile save use your active profile, not the old single settings file. Setups from before Vosh had many profiles still use that file.
• Triggers, aliases and macros in your profile are on top of the shared catalog, and your version has priority when names are the same. Before, the shared catalog replaced them at launch.
• A trigger that you make in your profile or with #prompt is still there after the next launch.

0.3.15, June 4, 2026

See the trend of your vitals, put the combat chip in its own panel, and scroll calmly with a trackpad.

New

• A new history layout draws a braille trend grid under your vitals bar, so you can see each drop in health, mana and moves.
• Pick the history layout in Settings, then Panels, then Panes, then Vitals.
• Give the combat chip its own panel in any zone from Settings, then Panels, then Combat.
• You can drag the inner edge of the chat pane to set its height, and Vosh keeps that height between launches.

Changed

• Bar style and layout are now two separate choices, so solid, track and ramped bars all work with the trend grid.
• The live preview in Settings shows your bar style and your layout.
• The default zone, hidden, keeps the combat chip next to your vitals.
• In the bottom zone, the combat chip joins your vitals bar as one block, and in other zones it gets a full pane, centered vertically.
• The bar of the combat target uses your vitals bar style and bar font, in one red that becomes darker as your opponent dies.
• The combat chip fits on one line with swords, the target name, the bar and the percent, and no condition word.
• The low health vignette has a name that tells you what it does, and it keeps your choice.
• A selection in one pane of the scrollback split clears the selection in the other, so a copy always takes your latest selection.

Fixed

• On macOS, the terminal and the history pane of the scrollback split scroll as far as your fingers move, so a swipe stays calm.
• When you change to another chat channel, such as all, chat or tell, the pane shows the latest message. Before, it kept the scroll position of the last channel.
• A selection clears when new output moves it off the top. Before, a gray ghost highlight stayed on the screen.

0.3.14, June 3, 2026

See your vitals settings in two columns, add a red glow for low health, and pick from more bar fonts.

New

• The low health vignette makes a soft red glow pulse at the edges of the window while your health is below 30 percent.
• The vignette is over the window, so your bar, template or inline layout shows as usual under it.
• The bar font picker adds MonoLisa, Menlo, Consolas and Courier New.
• A line under the font list tells you which name of MonoLisa your system has, or warns you when it finds none.

Changed

• The vitals settings are a two column console, with the controls on the left and a live preview of your real bar on the right.
• The footer of the preview shows your layout, style, width and font, so you can check them without a scroll.
• When the Settings window is narrower than 820 pixels, the console changes to one column.

0.3.12, June 3, 2026

Pick a vitals style from one list, and give your bar its own font.

New

• A new bar font picker changes only the bar glyphs, so labels, numbers and panel frames keep your app font.
• Pick the bundled Berkeley Mono or JetBrains Mono for clean block and braille glyphs.
• You can also name any monospace font on your computer, and Vosh loads it itself so that macOS shows it.
• A font family field under the list takes any list of fonts that you type.

Changed

• One style list and a small width field replace the crowded row of style, filled, empty and width at the top of the vitals settings.
• Each style sets the bar style and its glyph pair, such as solid with block glyphs, ramped with full braille, or track with no glyphs.
• If you edited your glyphs by hand, the list shows a custom entry with the filled and empty fields.

0.3.11, June 3, 2026

Pick from five new glyph sets for your vitals bars, and use the smooth ramped style again.

New

• Five new glyph sets in the style of btop are dark and light shade (▓ ░), block and medium shade (█ ▒), braille full (⣿ ⣀), braille mid (⠿ ⠤) and braille thin (⠶ ␣).
• The ramped bar style is back, next to solid and track in the style list.
• Ramped draws the end of the bar in eighths of a character (▏▎▍▌▋▊▉), so the bar moves smoothly and not a whole cell at a time.
• At a bar width of 20, a solid bar moves in steps of 5 percent and a ramped bar in steps of 0.625 percent.
• Ramped shows most clearly in Berkeley Mono or JetBrains Mono, the fonts that come with Vosh.

0.3.10, June 2, 2026

Drag a vitals bar in the preview to test your colors at each fill level.

New

• Drag the health, mana or moves bar in the vitals preview to move it from 0 to 100 percent.
• The colors change through the ramp as you drag.
• The header above the preview shows the percent of each bar, so you can check a custom color at each fill level.

0.3.7, June 2, 2026

Give each vital its own color, and keep your vitals readable in a narrow panel.

New

• Pick a color for each vital from a swatch in Settings, then Panels, then Panes, then Vitals.
• Leave a color blank to keep the default green, blue and orange ramps.
• With drain through red as the bar empties on, the bar becomes red only in its bottom half.
• With that setting on, a dark color stays true, so a dark green does not become a muddy olive.
• With that setting off, the bar keeps your color at each fill level.
• The preview in Settings shows the colors that you pick, so the live bar looks the same.

Changed

• Bar width in Settings now sets the largest width of the bar, so in a narrow panel the bar becomes narrower first.
• A narrow bar shows its true fill with the track and solid styles, so a bar at 50 percent always shows half full.
• A custom vitals template with bar tokens breaks only at the line breaks that you typed.
• Each line of such a template is its own row, and the bar fills the space that the text leaves.
• A template without bar tokens shows as before, so the spaces that you typed stay the same.

Fixed

• In a narrow panel, the vitals bar keeps your current and maximum values, the percent and the change per tick in view. Before, it hid them.

0.3.6, June 2, 2026

Search your scrollback, keep the settings of each profile, and get steady color from more MUDs.

New

• Press Cmd+F on macOS or Ctrl+F on Windows and Linux to open a search bar.
• The search bar opens at the top of the terminal.
• Press Enter to find each match in the whole live session, not only the text on the screen.
• A count such as 3 / 12 shows next to the search box.
• Shift+Enter or the Up arrow moves to the previous match, and Esc closes the bar.
• The case, word and regex switches work as their names say.
• When a match is above the live view, the scrollback split opens and highlights it in the history pane, and the live output continues below.
• Servers that check environment variables now get an answer too, which says that Vosh supports 256 colors and true color.

Changed

• The moons always show on the right side of the status bar, and the moons position list is gone from Settings, then Panels, then Chips.
• A profile that put the moons beside the tick and MUD time chip now shows them at the right edge.
• Servers that use MTTS still get the full answer, with the full list of what Vosh supports.
• Each loadout saves its own profile file.
• When you change loadouts, the shared catalog goes on top again, so your aliases and triggers stay the same.
• The disconnect message reads [connection reset by server] or [server closed connection], and not a raw system error.

Fixed

• Profile settings now save when you use the global catalog. Before, Vosh kept them in memory only, and you lost them when you quit or changed profiles.
• The fix covers tracked affects, the panel layout, the vitals shape, custom themes, paste pacing, the chip style and the presets that are on.
• It also covers the switch that tints server output with your theme, and the position of the moon glyph.
• Vosh now names itself a 256 color terminal in its first answer to the server, so Forsaken Lands and similar servers keep 256 colors on.
• quit no longer ends in a raw error on MUDs that close the connection hard, such as Forsaken Lands, so the goodbye line shows.

0.3.5, June 2, 2026

Read Help inside Vosh, see the tick and the time in one chip, and find panel settings on three tabs.

New

• Click [help] in the top bar to open a help window that explains each feature in plain words.
• The help window has a search bar that filters the topics and highlights each match as you type.
• Press Esc or click outside the help window to close it.
• The same help text is in the Vosh repository as a file that you can read offline.
• Click outside a button or a selection in the main window to put the cursor in the command input.
• When you bring Vosh to the front from another app, the cursor goes to the command input too.
• Choose value only, caption plus value, or icon plus value for the tick chip in Settings, then Panels, then Chips.
• The Chips tab also holds the tick interval, the command that the tick sends, the regex reset, sound and warnings.

Changed

• The tick countdown and the MUD time clock share one chip on the top border of the input row.
• The Panels page of Settings now has three tabs, Layout, Panes and Chips.
• Layout places the zones, Panes holds what each panel shows, and Chips holds the tick, MUD time and moons chips.
• The chat pane follows new messages while you are at the bottom, and it stops when you scroll up.
• The chat pane follows again when you scroll to within 24 pixels of the bottom.
• When you open the chat pane, it shows the latest message and not the oldest.
• In a left or right panel, the room strip wraps to several lines and stays inside the edge.
• You can resize a left or right panel.
• The top bar no longer has a chat button, so you show the chat pane with its zone in Settings, then Panels.
• The group pane no longer has an unpin button, and it shows when its zone is not hidden.

Fixed

• You can now delete a profile, alias or trigger with [delete] and then [confirm delete] on the same row. Before, a confirm dialog that never showed stopped the delete.

0.3.1, May 31, 2026

Let the profile of your character load when you enter the game, and keep your settings safe from a bad save.

New

• List several character names with commas in Settings, then Profiles, then Auto match, and the profile loads for each.
• You can use one profile for all your warriors, or for all the alts on one host.
• Each save of your settings files now completes in full or not at all.
• Vosh keeps a maximum of ten dated backups, so a failed save or old settings cannot remove your custom themes or tracked affects.
• This protection starts with this version, after a player lost custom themes and tracked affects in 0.3.0.

Changed

• When you enter the game, the MUD sends your character name over GMCP, and Vosh changes to the profile that matches it.
• You no longer type your character name in the Connect form, so a name that you forget cannot load the wrong profile.

0.3.0, May 31, 2026

Write your vitals as a template, put your automation in folders, and use a much faster client.

New

• Your vitals row is a template that you write, with tokens such as %hp, %mana and %sp, or any GMCP field such as %{Char.Worth.gold}.
• Vitals can show a percent gradient, inline or stacked.
• The center of the status bar always shows a tick countdown and the MUD time from the MUD clock.
• The time in the status bar changes color with the time of day.
• A trigger can hold several pattern rows, as in Mudlet, and each row has its own switch.
• Turn a mob name or an event on or off without an edit to one long regex.
• Triggers that you made with one pattern still load.
• Aliases have %N- for N from 0 to 9, which means word N and the rest of the input with its spaces.
• %1- is the same as %0, and %N- gives nothing when the input has fewer than N words.
• Put your aliases, triggers and macros in folders with an optional group tag.
• One checkbox in Settings turns a whole group on or off, and each item keeps its own switch.
• In a group that is off, aliases send what you typed, triggers do not fire, and macros go to an alias or the MUD.
• Each tracked affect chip has up and down arrows to change the order.
• Give any tracked affect its own label, so Field of Discord can show as Shroud.
• Each Settings form shows a saved mark that disappears after 1.5 seconds when your changes save.
• A form that you save by hand, such as triggers, aliases and the JSON tabs, shows a dot for unsaved changes.
• When you close a window with unsaved edits, Vosh asks you first.
• Place each panel by zone and alignment in Settings, then Panels, with a live preview at the top.
• The moon phase has three more places, at the right edge, before the time and after the time.

Changed

• Each bar can use the new track style, which replaces the old ramped glyph bars.
• The combat target chip is to the right of mana and shows the name and condition of your target, and it wraps when necessary.
• The map label moves into the header row that the map already has, so the map has one more row.
• The accent of the Kanso Zen theme is a cool blue that matches the Aabahran site, and not pink.
• Log writes are about 18 times faster in tests, and about 3 times faster with a full log database.
• Map updates are about 21 times faster.
• Each panel listens only for the GMCP data that it uses, so a panel in the background does not draw again for each message.
• The tick countdown no longer draws the vitals template again four times a second.
• A save in Settings sends nothing to your other windows when nothing changed, and one update for each field that you change.
• Vosh shows output lines with no ANSI codes about 7 times faster.

Fixed

• The vitals bar no longer goes into the right sidebar when the window is wide.
• The Duplicate button on a profile row works again and opens a text box on the row, like Rename. Before, a click did nothing.
• After you drag the scrollback split divider, the live pane returns to the newest output. Before, it stayed above the newest output.
• On Windows, the scrollbars in the terminal, the panels and the Settings forms are thin and in your theme. Before, they were wide and white.
• On Windows, window corners are square and show no white at the edges, and macOS keeps its round corners.
• The first who and the message of the day no longer wrap at 80 columns, because Vosh keeps your window size between connections.

0.2.11, May 30, 2026

Open Settings with no wait.

Fixed

• The General page of Settings opens at once, because Vosh reads your fonts only when you need the font list.
• Vosh keeps the font list until you quit.

0.2.10, May 30, 2026

See the map as a grid of text, and see each block of server output at once.

Changed

• In glyph mode, the map draws as text in the app font, with each cell a true terminal cell, like the map in TinTin++.
• The map keeps the same sector glyphs, colors, dim cells and @ marker for you.

Fixed

• Each block of output from the MUD now shows at once, so a reply of 50 lines appears in one step. Before, output appeared one line at a time, most of all on Windows.

0.2.9, May 30, 2026

Paste several lines safely, and choose what your vitals panel shows.

New

• Paste pacing puts a delay between the lines that you paste, so the MUD does not disconnect you because the lines come too fast.
• Set the delay in Settings, then General, then Paste pacing, from 0 to 10000 ms, with 500 as the default.
• A chip such as [paste 7/50 esc cancels] shows the progress next to the prompt, and Esc stops the rest of the lines.
• Settings, then Panels, then Vitals has separate switches for the bar, the percent, the numbers and the change per tick, with a live preview.
• Pick the filled and empty glyphs from a row of quick picks, such as parallelogram, block, circle or square.
• You can also type your own Unicode characters for the glyphs.
• Set the bar width from 4 to 60 cells.
• Four chips change the whole layout to bars, compact, numeric or percent with one click.

Changed

• When you paste several lines into the input, Vosh sends each line as a command of its own. Before, it joined them into one.
• One line still goes in at the cursor, and a paste at a password prompt works as before.

0.2.7, May 30, 2026

Change the order of your panels, put the tick in another bar, and leave quick keys empty with no error.

New

• Use the arrows in the Panels preview of Settings to change the order of panels in a zone.
• Vosh keeps the order of your panels.
• The tick countdown can go at the right edge of the vitals bar, room strip, affects bar or status bar, with four new zone choices.
• The preview shows such a tick as + tick on the panel that holds it.

Fixed

• A quick key that you did not set now goes to your aliases or the MUD with no message. Before, it showed the error no verb is set.

0.2.6, May 30, 2026

Return to the live output with one click, and close Settings with the main window.

New

Changed

• When you close the main window, the Settings window closes too.

0.2.5, May 30, 2026

Change the size of the scrollback split, and use a smaller chat panel that stays in place.

New

• Drag the divider of the scrollback split down to make the history pane larger, or up to make it smaller.
• Vosh keeps the size of the history pane between sessions.

Changed

• The chat panel is 160 pixels high by default, so it does not fill the window at the bottom.

0.2.4, May 29, 2026

Complete words with Tab, keep words whole, and see a status bar that wraps.

New

• Tab also completes the names of the characters in your room and of your combat targets, after the matches from your history.

Changed

• Vosh now wraps long lines such as tells and channels itself, so no word breaks in the middle.
• The server still wraps most lines through NAWS, and Vosh wraps the rest.
• The chat panel is 240 pixels high by default and at most half the window, so its messages scroll correctly.

Fixed

• The status bar wraps to a second row when the target name and quick keys do not fit. Before, it cut them off.
• Chat goes to the newest message again when new ones arrive.
• The terminal fits itself again when the panel layout changes, so a hidden chat leaves no empty strip at the bottom.

• The scrollback divider is thicker and easier to see.

0.2.2, May 29, 2026

Get game text that wraps to the size of your window.

New

• Vosh tells the MUD the columns and rows of your terminal through telnet NAWS, so the MUD wraps its output between words with no delay.

Changed

• Chat is a panel of its own, apart from group, with a close button in its header.

Fixed

• A change of tab in Settings now clears error banners. Before, they stayed on the screen.

• Import CMUD and zMUD XML files with their wildcards translated.
