|
| 18 |
- work around os x passing some serial number as commandline argument, |
| 19 |
breaking all programs supporting commandline arguments. |
| 20 |
(HOW STUPID CAN THEY BE? WILL IT EVER BOTTOM OUT?). |
| 21 |
- Pod::POM now understands =encoding. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
2.11 Sat Apr 24 10:08:34 CEST 2010 |
| 24 |
- support overriding the audio driver at runtime, for folks who know |
| 25 |
what they are doing. |
| 26 |
- upgrade to libSDL 1.2.14/SDL_mixer 1.2.11 for the GNU/Linux and |
| 27 |
windows binaries, and also compile in multiple drivers (pulseaudio |
| 28 |
disabled currently because it's too sucky and crashes on probe). |
| 29 |
- replace level by minimum level, and damage by effective casting level |
| 30 |
(for servers > 2.93). |
| 31 |
- added some commandline arguments: <host> <user> <password>, |
| 32 |
for the developers mostly. |
| 33 |
- try a different method of avoiding music-related crashes. |
| 34 |
- cfplus editor support protocol fixes. |
| 35 |
- apply some common::sense 3.1 :) |
| 36 |
- implement bandwidth-usage debug option. |
| 37 |
- renamed env variable CFPLUS_DEBUG to DELIANTRA_DEBUG. |
| 38 |
- display audio driver name that is in use. |
| 39 |
- try to show splashscreen earlier. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
2.10 Fri Jan 15 16:14:02 CET 2010 |
| 42 |
- fix blending factors to avoid white-out when fow_intensity > 0. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
2.09 Tue Dec 22 01:40:24 CET 2009 |
| 45 |
- implement smooth fow/lighting transitions by blending. |
| 46 |
- make fow texture configurable and add stipple/transparent versions. |
| 47 |
- empty "Host" field will now default to gameserver.deliantra.net. |
| 48 |
- do not crash when the user enters an invalid value into "Host". |
| 49 |
- fix positional rounding on (pre-c99) windows. |
| 50 |
- use a pack/unpack alignment of 1 by default everywhere, drop alignment |
| 51 |
code in fow_texture. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
2.06 Fri Dec 4 15:35:33 CET 2009 |
| 54 |
- work around the Apple/NVIDIA font problem (a bug in glTexSubImage2D that |
| 55 |
apple has no intention to fix, so we do the slow read/update/write way). |
| 56 |
- work around various ATI/Mesa driver bugs in glTexImage2D by always |
| 57 |
providing initialisation data for textures. Do they ever test their drivers |
| 58 |
with, say, some newbie opengl code? |
| 59 |
- stat change messages did not differentiate between attuned, repelled etc. |
| 60 |
- work around a bug in the nvidia driver which mishandles alpha textures |
| 61 |
with env mode REPLACE, causing all magic maps to be white only. |
| 62 |
- do not use mipmapping for tiles - the trade-off was not worth it. |
| 63 |
- fix packaging the pango modules twice in the linux and windows binaries. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
(2.05) Tue Sep 29 11:21:00 CEST 2009 |
| 66 |
- intermediate os x binary release only. |
| 67 |
- linking against the opengl library works everywhere, except on Mac OS X 10.6, |
| 68 |
which some people even spent money on (this seems to break a great number |
| 69 |
of opengl apps actually). |
| 70 |
- (os x binary) update libsdl to 1.2.14. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
2.05 Tue Sep 15 20:31:15 CEST 2009 |
| 73 |
- changed completer algorithm, thanks go to marcmagus! |
| 74 |
- try to work around crashes in SDL_Mixer when reinitialising it. |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
2.04 Sun Apr 26 21:03:40 CEST 2009 |
| 77 |
- work around incompatible ABI change between 1.22 and 1.24 by using a runtime check, |
| 78 |
this really is a bug that needs fixing inside pango. |
| 79 |
- include a japanese font (Mona, selected for license and size) with the distribution. |
| 80 |
- include our own fonts.conf file, to speed up startup and to be able to control |
| 81 |
font selection. |
| 82 |
- change confusing login successful message to "connect to server successful". |
| 83 |
- update BDB and EV in win32 builds to work around the event loop creation bug. |
| 84 |
- fall back to blocking dns resolve before using a hardcoded address. |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
2.03 Tue Jan 20 14:54:30 CET 2009 |
| 87 |
- move experience label, progress bars and slot info to the menubar. |
| 88 |
- move toplevel menu into a menu popup. |
| 89 |
- use fontsize for chekcbox size requests to get a better layout. |
| 90 |
- autopickup spellbooks, skillscrolls and valuables by default. |
| 91 |
- automatically save config/layout on exit and add config options |
| 92 |
to Setup=>Client to control this. |
| 93 |
- fix positioning of popup windows. |
| 94 |
- move autopickup enable (formerly inhibit) to menubar. |
| 95 |
- correctly display face changes for inventory objects. |
| 96 |
- verify databases if we are the first process to register, to |
| 97 |
detect corruption as is common on windows (but not limited to |
| 98 |
windows, unfortunately). |
| 99 |
- fall back to backup config file if main config file cannot be parsed. |
| 100 |
- reduce shimmering during smooth scrolls. |
| 101 |
- rely on AnyEvent to work around totally broken windows vista |
| 102 |
tcp/ip subsystem once more (where getpeername returns fantasy |
| 103 |
ports). |
| 104 |
- use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip |
| 105 |
breakage. |
| 106 |
- initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista |
| 107 |
forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!). |
| 108 |
|
| 109 |
2.02 Wed Dec 24 06:02:53 CET 2008 |
| 110 |
- mark hidden mapspaces visually with a question mark. |
| 111 |
- make hidden spaces as light as the darkest normal spaces. |
| 112 |
- don't lie about the window size anymore in fear of crashing |
| 113 |
the server (as we are dealing with deliantra servers only these days). |
| 114 |
- correctly draw the speech bubbles and other overlays even when the |
| 115 |
topmost face isn't visible. |
| 116 |
- fix swirly tile draw offset. |
| 117 |
- fix a crash when the user clicks on the map during log-in. |
| 118 |
- incorporate tips of the day by botz (former madness). |
| 119 |
- handle failure to load a music face more gracefully (still |
| 120 |
log the error, but do not crash, instead, ignore the failure). |
| 121 |
- try to log, instead of crash, on the "cannot call update method" |
| 122 |
problem. |
| 123 |
|
| 124 |
2.01 - (Mon Dec 15 00:41:33 CET 2008) |
| 125 |
- rewrote the client tutorial which can be found via the 'Help!' button. |
| 126 |
- fixed the mostly random switching of message window tabs when |
| 127 |
new tabs were added. |
| 128 |
- small typo fix in tooltip on the Skills page in the playerbook. |
| 129 |
- avoid accessing potentially undefined memory when drawing the map. |
| 130 |
- fixed speech bubbles which were drawn below some objects sometimes. |
| 131 |
|
| 132 |
2.0 Fri Dec 5 15:42:51 CET 2008 |
| 133 |
- the Log window can't be close anymore by alt+x |
| 134 |
- pressing return or alt+x directly after start won't crash the client |
| 135 |
anymore. |
| 136 |
- the Log window is displayed correctly now after start. |
| 137 |
- darken the invisible/cached parts of the map further. |
| 138 |
|
| 139 |
0.9978 Sun Nov 9 14:35:41 CET 2008 |
| 140 |

- own text is emphasized in the NPC dialogues now. |
| 142 |
- fixed a crash bug in the macro dialogue. |
| 143 |
- fixed updating of tooltips of the tabs in the message window. |
| 144 |
- closing tabs with Alt-x won't let them disappear for every anymore. |
| 145 |
|
| 146 |
0.9977 Tue Sep 30 09:27:29 CEST 2008 |
| 147 |

| 148 |
on login. |
| 149 |

| 151 |
- improve the paragraph indent hack to align characters better. |
| 152 |
- tweak server message output. |
| 153 |

| 154 |
into visible state). |
| 155 |
- reduce the number of unnecessary refreshes. |
| 156 |
- allow empty multiplexers. |
| 157 |
- fixed clearing issue in the inventory upon logout. |
| 158 |
- use the same workarounds for pango for gnu/linux binaries as we use for osx, |
| 159 |
but additionally patch the pango library because stupid braindead idiotic |
| 160 |
debian maintainers of course apply custom patches that completely break it. |
| 161 |
|
| 162 |
0.9976 Fri Sep 5 17:28:30 CEST 2008 |
| 163 |
- use keysym not unicode symbol, maybe that helps with some of those keyboard |
| 164 |
issues on OS X. |
| 165 |
- treat meta like alt for built-ins, for OS X. |
| 166 |
- fix tab tooltip listing key shortcut off by one. |
| 167 |
- disable texture compression with apple software renderer. if you want to get |
| 168 |
something that works, apple is for you. not. |
| 169 |
- fix text encoding for item description tooltips. |
| 170 |
- enlarge window borders considerably. |
| 171 |
- support lzf-compressed packets. |

| 173 |
- send crash and opengl vendor information to server for better debugging. |
| 174 |
- fix crash when displaying the tutorial with the precompiled os x |
| 175 |
binary: libjpeg collided with libJPEG - long live case-insensitivity :/ |
| 176 |
- cater for the incompatible changes in berkeley db 4.7. |
| 177 |
- enable highest-resolution video mode again. |
| 178 |
- add some preliminary theme support and two demo themes, "plain" and "blue". |
| 179 |
- avoid a crash when the minimap is reduced to zero size. |
| 180 |
- work around a bug in perl 5.8 perls (Bareword "Socket::AF_UNIX"...). |
| 181 |
|
| 182 |
0.9975 Wed Aug 27 22:16:27 CEST 2008 |
| 183 |
- use biggest video mode <= 1024x768 by default now (previous releases had a bug |
| 184 |
that caused them to select the smallest vdieo mode available). |
| 185 |
- ported to the rather horridly broken apple os x platform, |
| 186 |
using macports (the only non-broken part of the whole thing). |
| 187 |
- clarify/fix weight/value autopickup option with a tooltip and a server change. |
| 188 |
|
| 189 |
0.9974 Fri Aug 1 15:45:59 CEST 2008 |
| 190 |
- implement smooth scrolling for the player. |
| 191 |
- try a different workaround to maybe register Deliantra::Client. |
| 192 |
- support switching off of alpha framebuffers, to work around |
| 193 |
possible fallback-to-software-renderer problems. |
| 194 |
- allow video modes <800x600 to be selectable. |
| 195 |
- decode player from map1ax. |
| 196 |
- made libsdl1.2.10+ a requirement. |
| 197 |
- improve the slider widget. |
| 198 |
- use AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport. |
| 199 |
- upgrade to BDB 1.7. |
| 200 |
- properly clear mapcells in all cases, also try a heuristic to avoid |
| 201 |
player ghost images. |
| 202 |
|
| 203 |
0.9973 Mon Jul 7 09:27:59 CEST 2008 |
| 204 |
- added a dummy "package Deliantra::Client" to bin/deliantra, as |
| 205 |
cpan stupidly cannot install distributions by name. |
| 206 |
- convert to new non-blocking API. |
| 207 |
- support IPv6 server connections. |
| 208 |

|
| 210 |
0.9972 Thu May 22 22:45:01 CEST 2008 |
| 211 |
- save all map changes in map cache, not just the current map (this fixes |
| 212 |
the problem of map border "black out" in the minimap). |
| 213 |
- use an even more compact format for minimap data. |
| 214 |
- use an uncompressed cache for minimap data, increases memory requirements |
| 215 |
(~1mb) but saves compression. |
| 216 |
- close container, clear inventory, floorbox etc. to avoid a crash when |
| 217 |
clicking on them after logging out. |
| 218 |
- support xml formatting in ex replies (item tooltips, requires server |
| 219 |
2.54+). |
| 220 |
- try to ignore repeated keypress-events for movement, as |
| 221 |
these are usually keyrepeats. |
| 222 |
- added default (0) for the shift_fire_stop setting |
| 223 |
- write client.cf in pretty-printed-json. |
| 224 |
- avoid crashes if map cache is corrupted. |
| 225 |
|
| 226 |
0.9971 Mon May 5 21:37:33 CEST 2008 |
| 227 |

| 228 |
- sort right side of inventory by floor order. |
| 229 |
- make messages window always visible. |
| 230 |
- fix stat tooltips by not lowercasing keywords in pod2wiki. |
| 231 |

| 232 |
- fix menu alignment. |
| 233 |
- change podwiki format to be slightly more generic. |

| 235 |
|
| 236 |
0.9970 Sun Mar 30 13:30:47 CEST 2008 |
| 237 |
- fix a bug in tile id allocation, the effect of this bug |
| 238 |
was effectively disabling the tile cache, upgrade is highly |
| 239 |
recommended. |
| 240 |
- fix npc dialog. |
| 241 |
- upgrade the database schema (i.e. nuke it...). |
| 242 |
- only open the database before forking the bg server. |
| 243 |
- PRECOMPILED BINARY: use packaged libdb4.6 instead of libdb4.4. |
| 244 |
- use newer BDB module (might fix the filename encoding issue under win32). |
| 245 |
- use a real bdb sequence for the faceid, for better performance. |
| 246 |
|
| 247 |
0.9968 Tue Mar 25 20:28:16 CET 2008 |
| 248 |
- reduce documentation memory usage. |
| 249 |
- fix the stat gauge tooltips that have gone missing since 0.9966. |
| 250 |
|
| 251 |
0.9967 Mon Mar 24 01:24:07 CET 2008 |
| 252 |
- implement keyboard modifier display (mostly because of the numlock |
| 253 |
problems under windows). |
| 254 |
- work around a bug on windows where the layout font is being ignored. |
| 255 |
|
| 256 |
0.9966 Sat Mar 22 14:26:05 CET 2008 |
| 257 |
- when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will |
| 258 |
become visible again. |
| 259 |
- the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited, |
| 260 |
leading to a naughty memory leak |
| 261 |
- the highlighting of the chattabs were deep blue where they should have been |
| 262 |
deep red :-) |
| 263 |
- fixed a small inconvenience in the history handling of chat tab entries |
| 264 |
(hitting cursor-up or cursor-down won't erase what you typed by accident |
| 265 |
anymore). |
| 266 |
|
| 267 |
0.9965 Sat Jan 19 05:51:39 CET 2008 |
| 268 |
- work around a database race condition by using single-threaded |
| 269 |
database access. |
| 270 |
|
| 271 |
0.9964 Fri Jan 18 06:30:13 CET 2008 |
| 272 |
- fixed a bug where the message fontsize wasn't set correctly |
| 273 |
- do not call glTexSubimage2D on 0x0 bitmaps, as this |
| 274 |
crashes newer nvidia drivers. |
| 275 |
- fix chatbox label padding. |
| 276 |
- further rename database directory. |
| 277 |
- further "branding" of cfplus => deliantra. |
| 278 |
|
| 279 |
0.9963 Sun Jan 6 18:27:02 CET 2008 |
| 280 |
- rework of the messsage window to support 'undocked' windows. |
| 281 |
- ignore keyboard modifiers we are never interested in. |
| 282 |
- improve interactivity by using a prepare, not an idle watcher, |
| 283 |
for screen refreshes. |
| 284 |
- limit the time spent in database handling, so we refresh the screen |
| 285 |
even during ongoing heavy texture loading. |
| 286 |
- load tile map at startup, not at connect time. |
| 287 |
- tweak database accesses. |
| 288 |
- widget protocol version 2, supports ui templates. |
| 289 |
- increase horizontal padding for buttons a bit. |
| 290 |
- preallocate texture name when switching video modes and the |
| 291 |
texture can only be loaded in the background to avoid |
| 292 |
something else taking over. |
| 293 |
- increase padding for all text entries. |
| 294 |
- work around a bugfix in pango that no longer is necessary |
| 295 |
(but causes a bug with new pango versions, argh.) |
| 296 |
- use supposedly faster readonly pango functions wherever possible. |
| 297 |
- Canvas widget properly restores line and point widths. |
| 298 |
- fix padding calculation. |
| 299 |
- change semantics for align/valign in labels to behave like other |
| 300 |
alignment values. |
| 301 |
|
| 302 |
0.9962 Thu Dec 27 14:29:02 CET 2007 (download.com only) |

| 304 |
- renamed perl module to Deliantra::Client. |
| 305 |
- fixed unneccessary repetition when firing in a direction |
| 306 |
when 'only shift-up stops fire' is off. |
| 307 |
- do not render some glyphs twice. doh. |
| 308 |
- fix two problems that would cause endless |
| 309 |
refreshes even when idle (up to 60Hz). |
| 310 |
- optimise refresh strategy to not refresh more often than 60hz, |
| 311 |
even if it means to delay updates up to 1/60th of a second. |
| 312 |
- updated the dejavu fonts to version 2.22. |
| 313 |
- switch from Crossfire to Deliantra module. |
| 314 |
- switch from ~/.crossfire to ~/.deliantra, |
| 315 |
move database from cf to deliantra at startup. |
| 316 |
- fix some opengl races that could freeze deliantra during shutdowns. |

| 347 |
higher performance and compatibility under windows. |
| 348 |

| 349 |
with activestate perl. |
| 350 |
|
| 351 |
0.9955 Sat Nov 3 13:07:57 CET 2007 |
| 352 |
- enable fullscreen by default. |
| 353 |
