        - correctly smooth-move the healthbar as well.

0.9977 Tue Sep 30 09:27:29 CEST 2008
        - require newer BDB version to avoid possible database corruption or crashes
          on login.
        - fixed the often choppy smooth movement.
        - switch to proportional font in log view.
        - improve the paragraph indent hack to align characters better.
        - tweak server message output.
        - optimise visibility handing in multiplexers (only put the current tab
          into visible state).
        - reduce the number of unneecssary refreshes.
        - allow empty multiplexers.
        - fixed clearing issue in the inventory upon logout.
        - use the same workarounds for pango for gnu/linux binaries as we use for osx,
          but additionally patch the pango library because stupid braindead idiotic
          debian maintainers of course apply custom patches that completely break it.

0.9976 Fri Sep  5 17:28:30 CEST 2008
        - use keysym not unicode symbol, maybe that helps with some of those keyboard
          issues on OS X.
        - treat meta like alt for built-ins, for OS X.
        - fix tab tooltip listing key shortcut off by one.
        - disable texture compression with apple software renderer. if you want to get
          something that works, apple is for you. not.
        - fix text encoding for item description tooltips.
        - enlarge window borders considerably.
        - support lzf-compressed packets.
        - support fragmented packets.
        - send crash and opengl vendor information to server for better debugging.
        - fix crash when displaying the tutorial with the precompiled os x
          binary: libjpeg collided with libJPEG - long live case-insensitivity :/
        - cater for the incompatible changes in berkeley db 4.7.
        - enable highest-resolution video mode again.
        - add some preliminary theme support and two demo themes, "plain" and "blue".
        - avoid a crash when the minimap is reduced to zero size.
        - work around a bug in perl 5.8 perls (Bareword "Socket::AF_UNIX"...).

0.9975 Wed Aug 27 22:16:27 CEST 2008
        - use biggest video mode <= 1024x768 by default now (previous releases had a bug
          that caused them to select the smallest vdieo mode available).
        - ported to the rather horridly broken apple os x platform,
          using macports (the only non-broken part of the whole thing).
        - clarify/fix weight/value autopickup option with a tooltip and a server change.

0.9974 Fri Aug  1 15:45:59 CEST 2008
        - implement smooth scrolling for the player.
        - try a different workaround to maybe register Deliantra::Client.
        - support switching off of alpha framebuffers, to work around
          possible fallback-to-software-renderer problems.
        - allow video modes <800x600 to be selectable.
        - decode player from map1ax.
        - made libsdl1.2.10+ a requirement.
        - improve the slider widget.
        - use AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
        - upgrade to BDB 1.7.
        - properly clear mapcells in all cases, also try a heuristic to avoid
          player ghost images.

0.9973 Mon Jul  7 09:27:59 CEST 2008
        - added a dummy "package Deliantra::Client" to bin/deliantra, as
          cpan stupidly cannot install distributions by name.
        - convert to new non-blocking API.
        - support IPv6 server connections.
        - the chat tabs now have tooltips again.

0.9972 Thu May 22 22:45:01 CEST 2008
        - save all map changes in map cache, not just the current map (this fixes
          the problem of map border "black out" in the minimap).
        - use an even more compact format for minimap data.
        - use an uncompressed cache for minimap data, increases memory requirements
          (~1mb) but saves compression.
        - close container, clear inventory, floorbox etc. to avoid a crash when
          clicking on them after logging out.
        - support xml formatting in ex replies (item tooltips, requires server
          2.54+).
        - try to ignore repeated keypress-events for movement, as
          these are usually keyrepeats.
        - added default (0) for the shift_fire_stop setting
        - write client.cf in pretty-printed-json.
        - avoid crashes if map cache is corrupted.

0.9971 Mon May  5 21:37:33 CEST 2008
        - reverse order of items in floorbox.
        - sort right side of inventory by floor order.
        - make messages window always visible.
        - fix stat tooltips by not lowercasing keywords in pod2wiki.
        - fix longstanding bug where the stats tab would be removed during chargen.
        - fix menu alignment.
        - change podwiki format to be slightly more generic.
        - ignore pseudo-items in floorbox, only show in inventory.

0.9970 Sun Mar 30 13:30:47 CEST 2008
        - fix a bug in tile id allocation, the effect of this bug
          was effectively disabling the tile cache, upgrade is highly
          recommended.
        - fix npc dialog.
        - upgrade the database schema (i.e. nuke it...).
        - only open the database before forking the bg server.
        - PRECOMPILED BINARY: use packaged libdb4.6 instead of libdb4.4.
        - use newer BDB module (might fix the filename encoding issue under win32).
        - use a real bdb sequence for the faceid, for better performance.

0.9968 Tue Mar 25 20:28:16 CET 2008
        - reduce documentation memory usage.
        - fix the stat gauge tooltips that have gone missing since 0.9966.

0.9967 Mon Mar 24 01:24:07 CET 2008
        - implement keyboard modifier display (mostly because of the numlock
          problems under windows).
        - work around a bug on windows where the layout font is being ignored.

0.9966 Sat Mar 22 14:26:05 CET 2008
        - when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will
          become visible again.
        - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,
          leading to a naughty memory leak
        - the highlighting of the chattabs were deep blue where they should have been
          deep red :-)
        - fixed a small inconvenience in the history handling of chat tab entries
          (hitting cursor-up or cursor-down won't erase what you typed by accident
          anymore).

0.9965 Sat Jan 19 05:51:39 CET 2008
        - work around a database race condition by using single-threaded
          database access.

0.9964 Fri Jan 18 06:30:13 CET 2008
        - fixed a bug where the message fontsize wasn't set correctly

          crashes newer nvidia drivers.
        - fix chatbox label padding.
        - further rename database directory.
        - further "branding" of cfplus => deliantra.

0.9963 Sun Jan  6 18:27:02 CET 2008
        - rework of the messsage window to support 'undocked' windows.
        - ignore keyboard modifiers we are never interested in.
        - improve interactivity by using a prepare, not an idle watcher,
          for screen refreshes.
        - limit the time spent in database handling, so we refresh the screen
          even during ongoing heavy texture loading.
        - load tile map at startup, not at connect time.
        - tweak database accesses.
        - widget protocol version 2, supports ui templates.
        - increase horizontal padding for buttons a bit.
        - preallocate texture name when switching video modes and the
          texture can only be loaded in the background to avoid
          something else taking over.
        - increase padding for all text entries.
        - work around a bugfix in pango that no longer is necessary
          (but causes a bug with new pango versions, argh.)
        - use supposedly faster readonly pango functions wherever possible.
        - Canvas widget properly restores line and point widths.
        - fix padding calculation.
        - change semantics for align/valign in labels to behave like other
          alignment values.

        - fixed unneccessary repetition when firing in a direction
          when 'only shift-up stops fire' is off.
        - do not render some glyphs twice. doh.
        - fix two problems that would cause endless
          refreshes even when idle (up to 60Hz).
        - optimise refresh strategy to not refresh more often than 60hz,
          even if it means to delay updates up to 1/60th of a second.
        - updated the dejavu fonts to version 2.22.
        - switch from Crossfire to Deliantra module.
        - switch from ~/.crossfire to ~/.deliantra,
          move database from cf to deliantra at startup.
        - fix some opengl races that could freeze deliantra during shutdowns.
        - moved client-specific modules into a private subdirectory.
        - moved client-specific resources into a private subdirectory.

0.9961 Tue Dec 25 20:22:51 CET 2007
        - fix texture-reload problems when changing resolutions
          by forcing the reuse of the same texture name.
        - save and restore glyph cache textures when changing resolutions.
