Jan 1, 2025In January 2025, Mudlet/Mudlet delivered a focused set of features, UI enhancements, and stability fixes that improve usability, data integrity, and visual consistency, driving clearer licensing attribution, better user workflows, and higher-quality assets. Key work spanned codebase hygiene and user-facing enhancements across the map editor, console, and UI assets. Notable changes include: a 2025 copyright year update across the codebase to ensure licensing attribution remains current; a UI improvement to the console with a framed command-line input for clearer separation of input and output (dark-mode friendly); multi-line map label editing enabled via a QPlainTextEdit with updated tab behavior to move focus; a font alignment refresh in the Room Properties to use the Map Symbol font for Map Symbols; icon overhauls for 3Scapes and 3Kingdoms MUDs to improve readability and meet aspect ratio requirements; and a mapper robustness fix to correctly parse room names containing double spaces. These changes were implemented with targeted commits and demonstrate proficiency in UI design, data handling, asset management, and maintainability.
