Crossfire TRT Server ChangeLog |

2.1 |
4 |
- implement a utility - cfutil - that simplifies arch and map |
5 |
installation, replacing the old collect scripts and |
6 |
simplying deployment by scaling and cutting faces as required. |
7 |
- simplify the map protocol extensively by taking advantage |
8 |
of missing bigfaces, speeding up map generation immensely. |
9 |
- implement inherit keyword allowing archetypes to inherit from |
10 |
other archetypes. |
11 |
- rationalise archetype, region and treasurelist file format |
12 |
into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously. |
13 |
- make the worldmap, facedata (smoothing, faces, magicmap) |
14 |
reloadable at runtime. |
15 |
- implement 64x64 faceset support. |
16 |
- implement fxixsx protocol that saves |
17 |
a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets |
18 |
and allows images > packetsize. |
19 |
- implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works |
20 |
on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis. |
21 |
- the server can now rate-limit image uploads to not exceed |
22 |
a certain (client-configurable) speed while guarenteeing full |
23 |
freedom of movement. |
24 |
- implement new ex command to request item descriptions. |
25 |
- implement new msg command for in-game messages with meta |
26 |
information (using xml). |
27 |
- enforce utf-8 for all text messages. |
28 |
- many, many bugfixes. |

2.0 Tue Mar 6 15:22:53 CET 2007 |
31 |
- make coroapi accessible to cf+. |
32 |
- moved map handling logic completely to perl |
33 |
- per player maps are now marked in the map |
34 |
- maps are saved completely differently now, |
35 |
and much more often. |
36 |
- rewrote map header parser and writer |
37 |
- maps and players are now (in the average case) loaded |
38 |
and saved completely asynchronously, I/O contention will no |
39 |
longer freeze the server. |
40 |
- players and maps can be loaded anytime, without the player |
41 |
being logged in. |
42 |
- automatically generate method interfaces for perl from headers |
43 |
- unbundled freezethaw |
44 |
- mostly rewrote common/map.C |
45 |
- completely rewrite server/swap.C |
46 |
- introduced "runtime", the CCT clock (corrected crossfire time) :) |
47 |
- introduced new keyword for map files: file_format_version (integer, server version: 0) |
48 |
- better message for apply failures due to applymode |
49 |
- removed most all of the weather code |
50 |
- unified logging to stderr and file |
51 |
- too many minor changes to document |
