Inform 6.4 Release Notes

Introduction

This is a maintenance release of the Inform 6 compiler for creating interactive fiction. Although just about all known bugs are fixed, the approach to enhancing Inform is more conservative.

Acknowledgements

Far too many people contributed towards this release — reporting and resolving bugs, making helpful suggestions, providing support and facilities, testing, and so on — for their names to be individually listed. So instead, this is a general thank-you to everybody who has made this release happen, and specific ones to Graham Nelson for permitting it in the first place, and to Andrew Plotkin, who is responsible for most of the actual changes to the compiler code.
