09/01/2009 - powwow is a client program, which replaces telnet for the lazy mudder who wants some (only some?) extra features. It is primarily designed for DikuMUDs, but nothing prevents its use for other types of muds. powwow is based on another client, cancan, and cancan was originally inspired by tintin (yet another client) by Peter Unold (pjunold@daimi.aau.dk), but is entirely re-written. powwow also implements the MUME remote editing protocol, which enables you to edit texts on the mud using your own favourite editor, several texts at once if you have a windowing terminal.
powwow was written and maintained by Massimiliano Ghilardi and moved here in March of 2005. The original powwow home page is mirrored here if you need an older version or an older binary compiled for another platform.
There is currently a perl plugin and a javascript plugin based on spidermonkey.
Changes: Bug fix from Kalev: Match prompts longer than terminal width Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509288
[details]05/01/2009 - This is the perl extension for powwow and allows you to call perl code including xs modules from powwow, and allows perl to access powwow variables and execute actions. This supercedes the perlwow fork that originally embedded perl support in powwow.
Changes: Modified eval to happen in main package so all code starts execution from main

Changes: License clarifications, no functional changes
[details]04/14/2009 - Control X from the command line for scripts, and do "visual scraping" to find things on the screen. The conrol interface allows mouse movement, clicking, button up/down, key up/down, etc, and uses the XTest extension so you don't have the annoying problems that xse has when apps ignore sent events. The visgrep program find images inside of images and reports the coordinates, allowing progams to find buttons, etc, on the screen to click on.
Changes: Bugfixes related to keyboard layouts and altgr mappings and other enhancements related to debian bug 523199 thanks to Marco Steinacher

Changes: This fixes a problem with key modifiers being set for keysyms that have multiple keycodes, for example 'str <' did not work for some people. Also debugging is turned on by default.

Changes: Fixes buggy "key" command, now key is strictly for keysyms and "str" is a best-effort to try and hit the right keysyms to make the string print. Some bugfixes to visgrep and updated warnings/notifications. Added xmousepos app to get the mouse position relative to a window or the root window.
