Version 0.07


This release focuses on three minor features, a disambiguation bug fix, a new sleeping action, and a new system and actions dealing with lying, sitting and standing. 

1. The bug fix which fixes the bug mentioned in the last changelog is rather simple, there is a bug in the new version of inform (v10) which causes problems when using "After reading a players command rule" that in short stops it from properly updating what the current command from the player is, this is caused by a line of code which is missing from this version of inform so reintroducing the code fixes the issue.


2. Sleeping is extremely simple right now, all it does is check whether the actor is lying down, or if not tries the action of lying down for the actor, and then calls the waiting action. Eventually this action will do more when a need system, particularly exhaustion/the need for sleep, is implemented.

3. The main focus of the update is on chairs and beds, the act of sitting, lying down and standing, as well as "postures" associated with all three actions which track the state of each actor. Currently these actions and posture system isn't much, it simply tracks whether you are lying sitting or standing, and if you are lying or sitting tracks what you are lying or sitting on however the aim is for these to influence the descriptions of people later down the road so whether they are lying sitting or lying is described when they are examined by the player.


Finally the sleeping action as well as lying, sitting and standing (under 1 entry) have been given chapters in the help book. I expect that the book will need an overhaul at some point but I am trying to include things in it as I work on them.
