Code Updates
Helix makes code changes on occasion. While the most significant of these are announced to the in-game bulletin board, this wiki page keeps a running tally of changes on a day to day basis.
The base of our code systems is the Mudcore starter database (see that wiki page for more information).
The initial code notes and 2007 updates are recorded on the Code Updates 2007 page.
The changelog from 2008 is on the Code Updates 2008 page.
The changelog from 2009 is on the Code Updates 2009 page.
The changelog from 2010 is on the Code Updates 2010 page.
The remainder of this page goes from most recent to least recent changes.
