20 - fixed bug keeping darwin client form starting.
21 (A001b7632) Thu Jan 19 00:20:58 CET 2012
22 - windows binary had missing files.
23 (A001b23c9) Wed Jan 18 18:29:20 CET 2012
24 - try to probe various audio drivers in a separate process on linux,
25 as pulseaudio crashes more often than not, and alsa often is
26 configured to use pulse.
27 - improve config handling, remove support for crossfire config files.
28 - actually make use of the "Deliantra::Client" module to set up
29 @INC properly and load DC.pm.
30 - update urlader to post-0.2.
31 (A000d6e86) Mon Jan 9 18:00:58 CET 2012
32 - a bug where windows could no longer be moved near the right or bottom screen
33 edge has been fixed.
34 (A000ccb54) Sat Jan 7 21:23:45 CET 2012
35 - use new urlader, which, due to some fuck-up in the build script, was not
36 installed correctly.
37 - use binmode for Digest::MD5 so verification no longer fails on
38 windows.
39 - update IO::AIO so verification no longer fails on windows.
40 - linux's readahead never fails for serious reasons, so don't rely on it
41 for verification
42 (A000c8601) Sat Jan 7 16:24:43 CET 2012
43 - fix npc dialog.
44 - properly set window and icon title.
45 - send missing package messages also to the server as crashreport.
46 - bump version to 3.0 to officially announce auto-upgrade capabilities
47 and new binary build machinery.

50 (A00000000) Wed Jan 4 04:48:21 CET 2012
51 - implement online update when run from Urlader.
52 - fix a bug where the fog of war texture wasn't initialised in areas
53 that haven't been seen yet, causing blinking/glittering effects.
54 - Pod::POM now understands =encoding.
55 - minor speed enhancements.
56 - package libjpeg in the linux client.
57 - convert more watchers from EV to AE.
58 - call Mix_Init instead of loading/unloading on demand.
59 - moved bulk of main program into DC::Main.
60 - do not FATAL in $SIG{__DIE__} when inside an eval context, regardless
61 of $^S.
62 - add "current downloads" to media page, mainly for debugging.
63 - (binary builds) completely switched away from PAR to Urlader.
64 - (os x binary) work around OS X passing some serial number as commandline
65 argument, breaking all programs supporting commandline arguments.
66 (HOW STUPID CAN THEY BE? WILL IT EVER BOTTOM OUT?).
67 - (os x binary) work around os x dll hell different, maybe that
68 fixes some of the reported lion issues.
69 - (windows binary) update sdl, sdl_mixer, sdl_image, also bundle mikmod.
70
71 2.11 Sat Apr 24 10:08:34 CEST 2010
72 - support overriding the audio driver at runtime, for folks who know
73 what they are doing.
74 - upgrade to libSDL 1.2.14/SDL_mixer 1.2.11 for the GNU/Linux and
75 windows binaries, and also compile in multiple drivers (pulseaudio
76 disabled currently because it's too sucky and crashes on probe).
77 - replace level by minimum level, and damage by effective casting level
78 (for servers > 2.93).
79 - added some commandline arguments: <host> <user> <password>,
80 for the developers mostly.
81 - try a different method of avoiding music-related crashes.
82 - cfplus editor support protocol fixes.
83 - apply some common::sense 3.1 :)
84 - implement bandwidth-usage debug option.
85 - renamed env variable CFPLUS_DEBUG to DELIANTRA_DEBUG.
86 - display audio driver name that is in use.
87 - try to show splashscreen earlier.
88
89 2.10 Fri Jan 15 16:14:02 CET 2010
90 - fix blending factors to avoid white-out when fow_intensity > 0.
91
92 2.09 Tue Dec 22 01:40:24 CET 2009
93 - implement smooth fow/lighting transitions by blending.
94 - make fow texture configurable and add stipple/transparent versions.
95 - empty "Host" field will now default to gameserver.deliantra.net.
96 - do not crash when the user enters an invalid value into "Host".
97 - fix positional rounding on (pre-c99) windows.
98 - use a pack/unpack alignment of 1 by default everywhere, drop alignment
99 code in fow_texture.
100
101 2.06 Fri Dec 4 15:35:33 CET 2009
102 - work around the Apple/NVIDIA font problem (a bug in glTexSubImage2D that
103 apple has no intention to fix, so we do the slow read/update/write way).
104 - work around various ATI/Mesa driver bugs in glTexImage2D by always
105 providing initialisation data for textures. Do they ever test their drivers
106 with, say, some newbie opengl code?
107 - stat change messages did not differentiate between attuned, repelled etc.
108 - work around a bug in the nvidia driver which mishandles alpha textures
109 with env mode REPLACE, causing all magic maps to be white only.
110 - do not use mipmapping for tiles - the trade-off was not worth it.
111 - fix packaging the pango modules twice in the linux and windows binaries.
112
113 (2.05) Tue Sep 29 11:21:00 CEST 2009
114 - intermediate os x binary release only.
115 - linking against the opengl library works everywhere, except on Mac OS X 10.6,
116 which some people even spent money on (this seems to break a great number
117 of opengl apps actually).
118 - (os x binary) update libsdl to 1.2.14.
119
120 2.05 Tue Sep 15 20:31:15 CEST 2009
121 - changed completer algorithm, thanks go to marcmagus!
122 - try to work around crashes in SDL_Mixer when reinitialising it.
123
124 2.04 Sun Apr 26 21:03:40 CEST 2009
125 - work around incompatible ABI change between 1.22 and 1.24 by using a runtime check,
126 this really is a bug that needs fixing inside pango.
127 - include a japanese font (Mona, selected for license and size) with the distribution.
128 - include our own fonts.conf file, to speed up startup and to be able to control
129 font selection.
130 - change confusing login successful message to "connect to server successful".
131 - update BDB and EV in win32 builds to work around the event loop creation bug.
132 - fall back to blocking dns resolve before using a hardcoded address.
133
134 2.03 Tue Jan 20 14:54:30 CET 2009
135 - move experience label, progress bars and slot info to the menubar.
136 - move toplevel menu into a menu popup.
137 - use fontsize for chekcbox size requests to get a better layout.
138 - autopickup spellbooks, skillscrolls and valuables by default.
139 - automatically save config/layout on exit and add config options
140 to Setup=>Client to control this.
141 - fix positioning of popup windows.
142 - move autopickup enable (formerly inhibit) to menubar.
143 - correctly display face changes for inventory objects.
144 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to
145 detect corruption as is common on windows (but not limited to
146 windows, unfortunately).
147 - fall back to backup config file if main config file cannot be parsed.
148 - reduce shimmering during smooth scrolls.
149 - rely on AnyEvent to work around totally broken windows vista
150 tcp/ip subsystem once more (where getpeername returns fantasy
151 ports).
152 - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
153 breakage.
154 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
155 forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).
156
157 2.02 Wed Dec 24 06:02:53 CET 2008
158 - mark hidden mapspaces visually with a question mark.
159 - make hidden spaces as light as the darkest normal spaces.
160 - don't lie about the window size anymore in fear of crashing
161 the server (as we are dealing with deliantra servers only these days).
162 - correctly draw the speech bubbles and other overlays even when the
163 topmost face isn't visible.
164 - fix swirly tile draw offset.
165 - fix a crash when the user clicks on the map during log-in.
166 - incorporate tips of the day by botz (former madness).
167 - handle failure to load a music face more gracefully (still
168 log the error, but do not crash, instead, ignore the failure).
169 - try to log, instead of crash, on the "cannot call update method"
170 problem.
171
172 2.01 - (Mon Dec 15 00:41:33 CET 2008)
173 - rewrote the client tutorial which can be found via the 'Help!' button.
174 - fixed the mostly random switching of message window tabs when
175 new tabs were added.
176 - small typo fix in tooltip on the Skills page in the playerbook.
177 - avoid accessing potentially undefined memory when drawing the map.
178 - fixed speech bubbles which were drawn below some objects sometimes.
179
180 2.0 Fri Dec 5 15:42:51 CET 2008
181 - the Log window can't be close anymore by alt+x
182 - pressing return or alt+x directly after start won't crash the client
183 anymore.
184 - the Log window is displayed correctly now after start.
185 - darken the invisible/cached parts of the map further.
186
187 0.9978 Sun Nov 9 14:35:41 CET 2008
188 - correctly smooth-move the healthbar as well.
189 - own text is emphasized in the NPC dialogues now.
190 - fixed a crash bug in the macro dialogue.
191 - fixed updating of tooltips of the tabs in the message window.
192 - closing tabs with Alt-x won't let them disappear for every anymore.
193
194 0.9977 Tue Sep 30 09:27:29 CEST 2008
195 - require newer BDB version to avoid possible database corruption or crashes
196 on login.
197 - fixed the often choppy smooth movement.
198 - switch to proportional font in log view.
199 - improve the paragraph indent hack to align characters better.
200 - tweak server message output.
201 - optimise visibility handing in multiplexers (only put the current tab
202 into visible state).
203 - reduce the number of unnecessary refreshes.
204 - allow empty multiplexers.
205 - fixed clearing issue in the inventory upon logout.
206 - use the same workarounds for pango for gnu/linux binaries as we use for osx,
207 but additionally patch the pango library because stupid braindead idiotic
208 debian maintainers of course apply custom patches that completely break it.
209
210 0.9976 Fri Sep 5 17:28:30 CEST 2008
211 - use keysym not unicode symbol, maybe that helps with some of those keyboard
212 issues on OS X.
213 - treat meta like alt for built-ins, for OS X.
214 - fix tab tooltip listing key shortcut off by one.
215 - disable texture compression with apple software renderer. if you want to get
216 something that works, apple is for you. not.
217 - fix text encoding for item description tooltips.
218 - enlarge window borders considerably.
219 - support lzf-compressed packets.
220 - support fragmented packets.
221 - send crash and opengl vendor information to server for better debugging.
222 - fix crash when displaying the tutorial with the precompiled os x
223 binary: libjpeg collided with libJPEG - long live case-insensitivity :/
224 - cater for the incompatible changes in berkeley db 4.7.
225 - enable highest-resolution video mode again.

227 - avoid a crash when the minimap is reduced to zero size.
228 - work around a bug in perl 5.8 perls (Bareword "Socket::AF_UNIX"...).
229
230 0.9975 Wed Aug 27 22:16:27 CEST 2008
231 - use biggest video mode <= 1024x768 by default now (previous releases had a bug
232 that caused them to select the smallest vdieo mode available).
233 - ported to the rather horridly broken apple os x platform,
234 using macports (the only non-broken part of the whole thing).
235 - clarify/fix weight/value autopickup option with a tooltip and a server change.
236
237 0.9974 Fri Aug 1 15:45:59 CEST 2008
238 - implement smooth scrolling for the player.
239 - try a different workaround to maybe register Deliantra::Client.
240 - support switching off of alpha framebuffers, to work around
241 possible fallback-to-software-renderer problems.
242 - allow video modes <800x600 to be selectable.
243 - decode player from map1ax.
244 - made libsdl1.2.10+ a requirement.

249 player ghost images.
250
251 0.9973 Mon Jul 7 09:27:59 CEST 2008
252 - added a dummy "package Deliantra::Client" to bin/deliantra, as
253 cpan stupidly cannot install distributions by name.
254 - convert to new non-blocking API.
255 - support IPv6 server connections.
256 - the chat tabs now have tooltips again.
257
258 0.9972 Thu May 22 22:45:01 CEST 2008
259 - save all map changes in map cache, not just the current map (this fixes
260 the problem of map border "black out" in the minimap).
261 - use an even more compact format for minimap data.
262 - use an uncompressed cache for minimap data, increases memory requirements
263 (~1mb) but saves compression.
264 - close container, clear inventory, floorbox etc. to avoid a crash when
265 clicking on them after logging out.
266 - support xml formatting in ex replies (item tooltips, requires server
267 2.54+).
268 - try to ignore repeated keypress-events for movement, as
269 these are usually keyrepeats.
270 - added default (0) for the shift_fire_stop setting
271 - write client.cf in pretty-printed-json.
272 - avoid crashes if map cache is corrupted.
273

275 - reverse order of items in floorbox.
276 - sort right side of inventory by floor order.
277 - make messages window always visible.
278 - fix stat tooltips by not lowercasing keywords in pod2wiki.
279 - fix longstanding bug where the stats tab would be removed during chargen.
280 - fix menu alignment.
281 - change podwiki format to be slightly more generic.
282 - ignore pseudo-items in floorbox, only show in inventory.
283
284 0.9970 Sun Mar 30 13:30:47 CEST 2008
285 - fix a bug in tile id allocation, the effect of this bug
286 was effectively disabling the tile cache, upgrade is highly
287 recommended.
288 - fix npc dialog.
289 - upgrade the database schema (i.e. nuke it...).
290 - only open the database before forking the bg server.
291 - PRECOMPILED BINARY: use packaged libdb4.6 instead of libdb4.4.
292 - use newer BDB module (might fix the filename encoding issue under win32).
293 - use a real bdb sequence for the faceid, for better performance.
294

301 problems under windows).
302 - work around a bug on windows where the layout font is being ignored.
303
304 0.9966 Sat Mar 22 14:26:05 CET 2008
305 - when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will
306 become visible again.
307 - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,
308 leading to a naughty memory leak
309 - the highlighting of the chattabs were deep blue where they should have been
310 deep red :-)
311 - fixed a small inconvenience in the history handling of chat tab entries
312 (hitting cursor-up or cursor-down won't erase what you typed by accident
313 anymore).
314
315 0.9965 Sat Jan 19 05:51:39 CET 2008
316 - work around a database race condition by using single-threaded
317 database access.
318
319 0.9964 Fri Jan 18 06:30:13 CET 2008
320 - fixed a bug where the message fontsize wasn't set correctly
321 - do not call glTexSubimage2D on 0x0 bitmaps, as this
322 crashes newer nvidia drivers.
323 - fix chatbox label padding.
324 - further rename database directory.
325 - further "branding" of cfplus => deliantra.
326
327 0.9963 Sun Jan 6 18:27:02 CET 2008
328 - rework of the messsage window to support 'undocked' windows.
329 - ignore keyboard modifiers we are never interested in.
330 - improve interactivity by using a prepare, not an idle watcher,
331 for screen refreshes.
332 - limit the time spent in database handling, so we refresh the screen
333 even during ongoing heavy texture loading.
334 - load tile map at startup, not at connect time.
335 - tweak database accesses.
336 - widget protocol version 2, supports ui templates.
337 - increase horizontal padding for buttons a bit.
338 - preallocate texture name when switching video modes and the
339 texture can only be loaded in the background to avoid
340 something else taking over.
341 - increase padding for all text entries.
342 - work around a bugfix in pango that no longer is necessary
343 (but causes a bug with new pango versions, argh.)
344 - use supposedly faster readonly pango functions wherever possible.
345 - Canvas widget properly restores line and point widths.
346 - fix padding calculation.
347 - change semantics for align/valign in labels to behave like other
348 alignment values.
349
350 0.9962 Thu Dec 27 14:29:02 CET 2007 (download.com only)

354 when 'only shift-up stops fire' is off.
355 - do not render some glyphs twice. doh.
356 - fix two problems that would cause endless
357 refreshes even when idle (up to 60Hz).
358 - optimise refresh strategy to not refresh more often than 60hz,
359 even if it means to delay updates up to 1/60th of a second.
360 - updated the dejavu fonts to version 2.22.
361 - switch from Crossfire to Deliantra module.
362 - switch from ~/.crossfire to ~/.deliantra,
363 move database from cf to deliantra at startup.
364 - fix some opengl races that could freeze deliantra during shutdowns.
365 - moved client-specific modules into a private subdirectory.
366 - moved client-specific resources into a private subdirectory.
367
368 0.9961 Tue Dec 25 20:22:51 CET 2007
369 - fix texture-reload problems when changing resolutions
370 by forcing the reuse of the same texture name.
371 - save and restore glyph cache textures when changing resolutions.
372
373 0.9960 Tue Dec 25 10:38:17 CET 2007
374 - fixed item animation by taking advantage of ev_periodic.
