27 - this release is assumed to be very stable.
28 - (maps) radically redesigned and improved tutorial.
29 - directional casting no longer immediately removes the invisible effect.
30 - magic ears now trigger when used inside the NPC dialogue.
31 - fix overflow in lighting calculations.
32 - negative glow radii can no longer cause total darkness.

39 - fix deadlock in Jeweler::improve_ring_by_plan.
40 - use Coro::SemaphoreSet instead of our own lock management

49 - (maps) completely redesigned scorn.
50 - "cast light" now works on oneself.

52 negative glow radii again (they were totally broken before).

54 - the "player objects are referenced in _GENxx globals" bug has finally
55 been fixed, by not relying on buggy perl internals when serialising.
56 - fixed a long standing bug in the anvil converters in armour shops.
57 - items shops weren't interested in don't vanish anymore, and are given
58 back to the player.
59 - attuned/repell and spell base level system reworked.
60 - rewrote skill cache (last_skill_ob) system and usage - might
61 be less erratic now.
62 - refuse to write the uuid file if the uuid is zero
63 (to avoid writing it in early crashes).
64 - pathsync the directory after saving a file for added slowdown^Wsafety.
65 - speed up emergency_save by not syncing every file separately.
66 - no longer reattach perl to every object on reload, it's slow, and no longer

90 and update mapspaces if necessary.
