Minetest:Education 5.6.1-08cb5b125

[snowyu]

Minetest:Education Edit is an open source interactive educational application based on Minetest (an open source voxel game engine).

Parents/teachers need to manage the content of the game, as well as control the time of the game, and be able to test while playing. It's best to be able to write course assignments for the interactive educational world in the simplest possible way.

• Separate play UI from play world management UI
• Control play time and protect children's eyes
• Insert practice while gaming
• Single-player game support different users to use a shared computer
• Built-in education-related mods (mathematics, automation, electronic circuits, programming, etc.) and some selected mods

Changes:

• temporarily disable update_information_url
• 🆕️️ Added nickname (nickname) module, nickname can be in Chinese.
• 🪲 Fix: Nametags are reset when calling set_nametag_attributes, even if text param is not touched.
• 🪲 FIXED: chat interface should also use nametag.
  • core. format_chat_message(name, message)
• 🆕️️ Add mod_data directory (minetest.get_mod_data_path) to save mod configuration data
  • It's useful for storing custom data independently of worlds.
• 🪲 FIXED: The trusted mod can not use mkdir etc functions.
• 🪲 FIXED: Mod directory cannot write files
  • The directory where your mod is located should allow file writing.
  • Background: Currently minetest only allows writing in the current world (course) directory, but I need to record students' learning in the same place, instead of dispersing the records in each world (course).
  • [Security] The trusted mods are prohibited from using io functions. (branch: fix/trusted_mod_io)
    • ScriptApiSecurity::checkPath can correctly get caller's mod name now.
      • Allow writing to the directory where the mod is located,
    • ScriptApiSecurity::checkWhitelisted can correctly get caller's mod name now.
    • ScriptApiSecurity::isSecure uses checkWhitelisted now.
      • The trusted mods can use the io functions directly.
    • Add the static method l_get_current_modname and get_current_modname to ScriptApiSecurity class.
    • ModApiClient::get_current_modname and ModApiServer::get_current_modname can correctly get caller's mod name.
    • Can analyze whether the call is injected or not.
    • Fixed: #12857, #12948
• 🪲 Fix: The Chinese characters displayed in the prompt line of the chat window are squeezed together.
• Modify the initial default configuration world to creative mode (does not affect the existing default configuration).
• A little optimization of IME support under Linux and Windows systems
