GMCP only Channels

As of version r1900, the package asks the Aardwolf server to only send channel messages over GMCP

How does this affect me?

Making triggers that use channel tags (see 'help tags' in game) won't work anymore, because the server won't be sending tagged channels anymore.

If you want to automate an action upon receipt of whole channel messages, you can do it in a simple plugin by following the instructions at Using-GMCP#getting-notified-when-new-gmcp-data-arrives.

You can still trigger on other text that is printed to your screen.

Why?

I really like GMCP for things like channels. I think that it's both conceptually and practically better to treat channel messages as "out of band" and to stop dealing with printed tags that have to be anchored and gagged and can be broken by unterminated prompts or board notes. Also, sending channels twice, once via hidden GMCP and once with printed tags that then have to be removed, is also ever so slightly wasteful on both ends.
