Version 0.985 is a new one, sporting quite a few bug fixes and improvements:

Version 0.985 (September, 2009)

·    Added Inform 7 Glulx acceleration functions and brought Filfre up
to compliance with Glulx specification 3.1.1.

·    Fixed many small deviances from the Glulx VM standard. Test suites
all now function correctly.

·    Resizing or closing the interpreter while a MORE prompt is up no
longer leads to a potential crash.

·    Added command line TAB completion.

·    Z-Machine games now allow multiple UNDOs just like Glulx games.

·    Typing too long of a command line no longer leads to a potential crash.

·    Filfre should now work much better for impatient folks who start
typing a command before the previous is finished processing.

·    One can now just click in the status bar to pause or restart the
timer and to change from overwrite to insert mode and vice versa.

·    Pressing a CTRL-arrow key combination no longer leads to all sorts
of interface strangeness.

·    Fixed bug whereby a "Please Wait..." prompt and snoozing cursor
would sometimes get "stuck."

·    Fixed bug whereby a MORE prompt could get "stuck."

·    The frontispiece display now deals (slightly) more gracefully with
very long author fields like that of Alabaster.
