Great news from vaporware’s post on rec.arts.int-fiction! Inform 7 will have a new release on or shortly after April 28th!
Items slated for the new build will include:
- Tidier user interface
- Easily publish Inform works to the web, including a release mode
that creates a playable web site using Parchment - Many language restrictions removed, and more expressiveness in
talking about kinds, phrases, relations, etc. - Many Standard Rules actions changed to provide default behavior
closer to what modern authors tend to want (automatically opening
doors, handling TAKE ALL more naturally, and so on) - More than 250 bug reports resolved
Can’t wait!

Very interesting! It doesn’t surprise me that WoW is a powerful motivator for him. I’ll have to go back and read the whole history of that blog!

I’d just start with the existing version and plan to upgrade when the new one comes out. Unless you actively design for the new features, it’s unlikely you’ll have much problem porting it.
