Product Description:

Moxie is a client for MUX systems. Some of its notable features are:

ANSI color support is supplied via a plug in.
It has trigger, alias, and macro support via the plugin sub-system.
Lisp-based plugin system, instead of a custom scripting language, so you can write any kind of plug in you can imagine.
Transparent windows.
Command History via the CMD-Up/Down arrows. This also works in the Lisp REPL.
MUX-formatted pasting, which translates whitespace to %r, %t, %b as appropriate.
Auto-login to servers.
Startup worlds allow you to auto-open worlds when Moxie starts up.
Logging of sessions to plain-text files.
An innovative "World Selector" which allows you to switch between worlds very quickly, shows status (New Activity, Connected, Disconnected), allowing for:
Clean and simple tab-less design, hearkening back to older MacOS days.

What's new in this version:

ANSI color support is now supplied via a built-in plug in.
You can send a lone enter key press.
Telnet protocol support.
You can clear your screen from the plug in interface now. For convenience, the command "/clear" will clear your screen, as well as the clear key on the numeric keypad.
Numpad keybindings have been added via a plug in.
Hooks use the results of the previous hook in a mode if applicable now, to allow for multiple levels of filter feeding off of each other. This does complicate things a little more, but it also allows hooks to play nice with each other.
Hooks no longer set arbitrary keywords. Those have been replaced by special variables which will do the right thing, and greatly simplify plugin code.
Attributed strings changed. You can now set multiple attributes across multiple ranges of the string.

I logged into our game and, after requesting ANSI color, was presented with a strange black-and-white display of brackets and numbers surrounding uncolored text. Removing color presented a clean black-and-white version of our game, but after all the trouble the client goes through to give you good color selections, it was disappointing to see

A wealth of attention is paid to text management, with such features as kerning and ligature that struck me as a bit strange for an environment where a fixed-width font is the norm.

With a tiny bit of tuning, and functionality for aliases, keybinding and the like, this one has possibilities (not being a LISP user, I didn't even attempt the Lisp REPL window beyond peeking in). I'm looking forward to the next update.
