3 TODO: add help to completer, add close tab to completer, do stuff to complete
4 TODO: warn about sofwtare renderers
5 TODO: [num] indicator malfunctioning
6 TODO: cfplus_ext => 2 is sometimes not beign negotiated! (hack in place, need better protocol)
7
8 TODO: Deliantra releasen
9 - move experience label, progress bars and slot info to the menubar.
10 - move toplevel menu into a menu popup.
11 - use fontsize for chekcbox size requests to get a better layout.
12 - autopickup spellbooks, skillscrolls and valuables by default.
13 - automatically save config/layout on exit and add config options
14 to Setup=>Client to control this.
15 - fix positioning of popup windows.
16 - move autopickup enable (formerly inhibit) to menubar.
17 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to
18 detect corruption as is common on windows (but not limited to
19 windows, unfortunately).
20 - fall back to backup config file if main config file cannot be parsed.
21 - rely on AnyEvent to work around totally broken windows vista
22 tcp/ip subsystem once more (where getpeername returns fantasy
23 ports).
24 - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
25 breakage.
26 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
27 forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).
28
29 2.02 Wed Dec 24 06:02:53 CET 2008
30 - mark hidden mapspaces visually with a question mark.
31 - make hidden spaces as light as the darkest normal spaces.
32 - don't lie about the window size anymore in fear of crashing
33 the server (as we are dealing with deliantra servers only these days).
34 - correctly draw the speech bubbles and other overlays even when the
35 topmost face isn't visible.
36 - fix swirly tile draw offset.
37 - fix a crash when the user clicks on the map during log-in.
38 - incorporate tips of the day by botz (former madness).
39 - handle failure to load a music face more gracefully (still
40 log the error, but do not crash, instead, ignore the failure).
41 - try to log, instead of crash, on the "cannot call update method"
42 problem.
43
44 2.01 - (Mon Dec 15 00:41:33 CET 2008)
45 - rewrote the client tutorial which can be found via the 'Help!' button.
46 - fixed the mostly random switching of message window tabs when
47 new tabs were added.
48 - small typo fix in tooltip on the Skills page in the playerbook.
49 - avoid accessing potentially undefined memory when drawing the map.
50 - fixed speech bubbles which were drawn below some objects sometimes.
51
52 2.0 Fri Dec 5 15:42:51 CET 2008
53 - the Log window can't be close anymore by alt+x
54 - pressing return or alt+x directly after start won't crash the client
55 anymore.
56 - the Log window is displayed correctly now after start.
57 - darken the invisible/cached parts of the map further.
58
59 0.9978 Sun Nov 9 14:35:41 CET 2008
60 - correctly smooth-move the healthbar as well.
61 - own text is emphasized in the NPC dialogues now.
62 - fixed a crash bug in the macro dialogue.
63 - fixed updating of tooltips of the tabs in the message window.
64 - closing tabs with Alt-x won't let them disappear for every anymore.
65
66 0.9977 Tue Sep 30 09:27:29 CEST 2008
67 - require newer BDB version to avoid possible database corruption or crashes
68 on login.
69 - fixed the often choppy smooth movement.
70 - switch to proportional font in log view.
71 - improve the paragraph indent hack to align characters better.
72 - tweak server message output.
73 - optimise visibility handing in multiplexers (only put the current tab
74 into visible state).
75 - reduce the number of unneecssary refreshes.
76 - allow empty multiplexers.
77 - fixed clearing issue in the inventory upon logout.
78 - use the same workarounds for pango for gnu/linux binaries as we use for osx,
79 but additionally patch the pango library because stupid braindead idiotic
80 debian maintainers of course apply custom patches that completely break it.
81
82 0.9976 Fri Sep 5 17:28:30 CEST 2008
83 - use keysym not unicode symbol, maybe that helps with some of those keyboard
84 issues on OS X.
85 - treat meta like alt for built-ins, for OS X.
86 - fix tab tooltip listing key shortcut off by one.
87 - disable texture compression with apple software renderer. if you want to get
88 something that works, apple is for you. not.
89 - fix text encoding for item description tooltips.
90 - enlarge window borders considerably.
91 - support lzf-compressed packets.
92 - support fragmented packets.
93 - send crash and opengl vendor information to server for better debugging.
94 - fix crash when displaying the tutorial with the precompiled os x
95 binary: libjpeg collided with libJPEG - long live case-insensitivity :/
96 - cater for the incompatible changes in berkeley db 4.7.
97 - enable highest-resolution video mode again.
98 - add some preliminary theme support and two demo themes, "plain" and "blue".
99 - avoid a crash when the minimap is reduced to zero size.
100 - work around a bug in perl 5.8 perls (Bareword "Socket::AF_UNIX"...).
101
102 0.9975 Wed Aug 27 22:16:27 CEST 2008
103 - use biggest video mode <= 1024x768 by default now (previous releases had a bug
104 that caused them to select the smallest vdieo mode available).
105 - ported to the rather horridly broken apple os x platform,
106 using macports (the only non-broken part of the whole thing).
107 - clarify/fix weight/value autopickup option with a tooltip and a server change.
108
109 0.9974 Fri Aug 1 15:45:59 CEST 2008
110 - implement smooth scrolling for the player.
111 - try a different workaround to maybe register Deliantra::Client.
112 - support switching off of alpha framebuffers, to work around
113 possible fallback-to-software-renderer problems.
114 - allow video modes <800x600 to be selectable.
115 - decode player from map1ax.
116 - made libsdl1.2.10+ a requirement.
117 - improve the slider widget.
118 - use AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
119 - upgrade to BDB 1.7.
120 - properly clear mapcells in all cases, also try a heuristic to avoid
121 player ghost images.
122
123 0.9973 Mon Jul 7 09:27:59 CEST 2008
124 - added a dummy "package Deliantra::Client" to bin/deliantra, as
125 cpan stupidly cannot install distributions by name.
126 - convert to new non-blocking API.
127 - support IPv6 server connections.
128 - the chat tabs now have tooltips again.
129
130 0.9972 Thu May 22 22:45:01 CEST 2008
131 - save all map changes in map cache, not just the current map (this fixes
132 the problem of map border "black out" in the minimap).
133 - use an even more compact format for minimap data.
134 - use an uncompressed cache for minimap data, increases memory requirements
135 (~1mb) but saves compression.
136 - close container, clear inventory, floorbox etc. to avoid a crash when
137 clicking on them after logging out.
138 - support xml formatting in ex replies (item tooltips, requires server
139 2.54+).
140 - try to ignore repeated keypress-events for movement, as
141 these are usually keyrepeats.
142 - added default (0) for the shift_fire_stop setting
143 - write client.cf in pretty-printed-json.
144 - avoid crashes if map cache is corrupted.
145
146 0.9971 Mon May 5 21:37:33 CEST 2008
147 - reverse order of items in floorbox.
148 - sort right side of inventory by floor order.
149 - make messages window always visible.
150 - fix stat tooltips by not lowercasing keywords in pod2wiki.
151 - fix longstanding bug where the stats tab would be removed during chargen.
152 - fix menu alignment.
153 - change podwiki format to be slightly more generic.
154 - ignore pseudo-items in floorbox, only show in inventory.
155
156 0.9970 Sun Mar 30 13:30:47 CEST 2008
157 - fix a bug in tile id allocation, the effect of this bug
158 was effectively disabling the tile cache, upgrade is highly
159 recommended.
160 - fix npc dialog.
161 - upgrade the database schema (i.e. nuke it...).
162 - only open the database before forking the bg server.
163 - PRECOMPILED BINARY: use packaged libdb4.6 instead of libdb4.4.
164 - use newer BDB module (might fix the filename encoding issue under win32).
165 - use a real bdb sequence for the faceid, for better performance.
166
167 0.9968 Tue Mar 25 20:28:16 CET 2008
168 - reduce documentation memory usage.
169 - fix the stat gauge tooltips that have gone missing since 0.9966.
170
171 0.9967 Mon Mar 24 01:24:07 CET 2008
172 - implement keyboard modifier display (mostly because of the numlock
173 problems under windows).
174 - work around a bug on windows where the layout font is being ignored.
175
176 0.9966 Sat Mar 22 14:26:05 CET 2008
177 - when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will
178 become visible again.
179 - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,
180 leading to a naughty memory leak
181 - the highlighting of the chattabs were deep blue where they should have been
182 deep red :-)
183 - fixed a small inconvenience in the history handling of chat tab entries
184 (hitting cursor-up or cursor-down won't erase what you typed by accident
185 anymore).
186
187 0.9965 Sat Jan 19 05:51:39 CET 2008
188 - work around a database race condition by using single-threaded
189 database access.
190
191 0.9964 Fri Jan 18 06:30:13 CET 2008
192 - fixed a bug where the message fontsize wasn't set correctly

197 - further "branding" of cfplus => deliantra.
198
199 0.9963 Sun Jan 6 18:27:02 CET 2008
200 - rework of the messsage window to support 'undocked' windows.
201 - ignore keyboard modifiers we are never interested in.
202 - improve interactivity by using a prepare, not an idle watcher,
203 for screen refreshes.
204 - limit the time spent in database handling, so we refresh the screen
205 even during ongoing heavy texture loading.
206 - load tile map at startup, not at connect time.
207 - tweak database accesses.
208 - widget protocol version 2, supports ui templates.
209 - increase horizontal padding for buttons a bit.
210 - preallocate texture name when switching video modes and the
211 texture can only be loaded in the background to avoid
212 something else taking over.
213 - increase padding for all text entries.
214 - work around a bugfix in pango that no longer is necessary
215 (but causes a bug with new pango versions, argh.)
216 - use supposedly faster readonly pango functions wherever possible.
217 - Canvas widget properly restores line and point widths.
218 - fix padding calculation.
219 - change semantics for align/valign in labels to behave like other
220 alignment values.

226 when 'only shift-up stops fire' is off.
227 - do not render some glyphs twice. doh.
228 - fix two problems that would cause endless
229 refreshes even when idle (up to 60Hz).
230 - optimise refresh strategy to not refresh more often than 60hz,
231 even if it means to delay updates up to 1/60th of a second.
232 - updated the dejavu fonts to version 2.22.
233 - switch from Crossfire to Deliantra module.
234 - switch from ~/.crossfire to ~/.deliantra,
