Frotz 2.55 was released on Saturday February 1, 2025.
This is a minor release focusing on minor enhancements and bug fixes.
NEW FEATURES
Updated and cleaned up random.inf, which is now the "Z-machine Randomization Test Suite".
Updated and cleaned up manual pages.
Added -L option to xfrotz - supply a Quetzal file to load on command line.
Added support for the Z-Machine Standard 1.1 save-restore prompt option.
BUG FIXES
Attempting to write a string that straddles the Z-machine's 64k boundary caused a segfault within Frotz itself. Frotz now will detect this and throw a fatal error instead.
Fixed an oversight in which files created by Frotz aren't given appropriate filename extensions.
Fixed a stray $ that breaks the frotz filename when specifying LDFLAGS.
Updated the fix for Beyond Zork's rotating mirror bug by now correctly detecting attempts to address an invalid object.
Fixed brain-dead handling of undo slots.
Fixed a segfault when xfrotz detects a fatal error.
Fixed compile failure of the SDL interface for GCC 12 and maybe GCC 11.
Not a bug in Frotz itself, but the BUGS text file was deleted from the source repository and tarball before the release of Frotz 2.50.
Fixed faulty handling of text styles in dumb interface.
