I have had a request for 5 material changes for epic4-2.1.3
ftp://ftp.epicsol.org/pub/epic/EPIC4-BETA/epic4-2.1.3.tar.gz

* Fix wording of default messages for 347 and 349 numerics.
(Requested by blackjac -- 347 and 349 numerics are not bans,
so do not say "end of ban list")
* Fix column alignment for /timer list.
(Requested by blackjac -- /TIMER's list got messed up due to some
brain damage on my part.
* Fix add_to_window() to stop runaway recursion through /set output_rewrite.
(Requested by Larne, who rules because he also wrote a patch to fix
the problem! Go Larne! -- It's possible to trick
/set output_rewrite into infinitely recursion, which crashes
epic. It will try hard not to allow that now.)
* Fix bug in expand_alias() -- all output must be privileged_yell()!
(Found fixing the above bug, expand_alias() can do a put_it(),
which can induce an infinite recursion problem in
add_to_window(). All output in expand_alias() is required
to be a privileged_yell(), so fix this.)
* Change /on send_to_server so it can't be hooked recursively.
(Requested by jm -- All of the other /on send_* hooks are non-
recursive, meaning you don't have to worry about them
infinitely recursing if you don't change the text enough
to not match the same /on again. It's very dangerous for
/on send_to_server to be used because of this, and changing
it just makes more sense.)
OF ALL OF THESE, the last one is the one that may be most noticed. If you
want to object to anything, please let me know!
----
The vote is currently 13-0. I'm not going to restart the vote for these 5
changes, because I think people would kill me. So if you voted yes, then
please test, and change your vote if you don't like the new changes!
Once the vote reaches 15-0, there will be an announcement to the list with
further instructions.
Jeremy
