39TODO: clean up skill handling in kill_object.
40TODO: make the "feed all faces" flag persistent between logins.
41TODO: mining experience
42TODO: highest cpu users: stand_in_light (object *op), get_map_flags, blocked_link, path_to_player
43TODO: follow should not be able to follow everywhere (ocean...)
44 - (maps, arch) complete revamping of the transport routes - all cities are
45 now easily reachable, at a price.
46 - (maps) the mana fountain now has a ratelimit of 30 potions per hour.
47 - (maps) added (navar) gravedigger, that buys players gravestones.
48 - (maps) added the rathouse quest for the shockwave spell in navar
49 (by Dustfinger).
50 - (maps) fixed bad floor tile in navar apartment.
51 - made (wizard) look_at show also uuids.
52 - added cf::object::find_object_uuid (::find_object already exists!).
53 - (maps) added new apartment, made by LinuxLemoner.
54 - (maps) added quest for the mining skill scroll to valleynoy.
55 - (maps) added greedy highlevel book shop to heaven town.
56 - (arch) added sounds: zombie death, book reading, inscription.
57 - (arch) made the hill giants loose more body parts.
58 - (arch, maps) added black unicorn horn, required to access mlab hell.
59 - (arch) increased the (possible) number of arrows/bolts found in shops
60 and made them a bit more expensive.
61 - (maps) add more glory hole treasure styles.
62 - (maps, arch) add "hollow" variants of cave\d tiles, and use them
63 in a select number of mlab maps.
64 - (maps) the library should be less of a death trap now.
65 - (maps) exits no longer point to auto-apply exits, most affected
66 maps now have proper doors or a similar solution.
67 - (arch) jumping skill has now physical attacktype.
68 - (maps) fixed nurnberg/reception/fire5 to match new style torches.
69 - enter_map did not normalise the map coordinates when the destination
70 space is blocked, causing badness and freezes for the player.
71 - when applying containers, server checks for the key on activate
72 and also allows players to unapply active containers they don't have
73 a key for.
74 - moved formulae, attackmess, artifacts, exp_table, materials and
75 races files to arch, where they belong (exp_table is no longer in
76 confdir but in datadir now!).
77 - jeweler and sound config files are now normal datafiles as well.
78 - quit_character was causing a runtime exception, causing it to not
79 work since 2.93.
80 - entering a map will now respect move_on and other effects,
81 except for auto-apply exits :/
82 - only talk to the items on the nearest mapspace, or, of there
83 are none, to the player, not ALL items in vicinity.
84 - do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item
85 updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power.
86 - diseases could reduce a monsters speed to MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, which
87 caused overflows causing monsters to become living deads.
88 - unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it.
89 - teach the random map generator the ability to read ".rmg" files
90 that specify which actual style map to generate, and use it for
91 the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used.
92 - support (with some limitations) multiple different skills with the
93 same subtype.
94 - fix "nekosan duplication" bug - map swap out was not atomic,
95 so nekosan could end up beign saved AND escaped to another map.
96 - show invisible no longer makes magic mouths visible.
97 - move_type changes (spells, skills etc.) now will correctly
98 take move_on/move_off into account (e.g. buttons).
99 - display (exit) or (random map) in client for those objects.
100 - removed (useless) spell damage columns from spell info and replace
101 it by effective casting level - clients > 2.10 required to display
102 properly.
103 - building of levers/doors works again for all kinds of floors.
104 - the player can now withdraw and deposit all the available money.
105 - (maps) fix the apartment shop (japan => 吾妻) and add descriptions for
106 steinwandstadt/celvear.
107 - (maps) added /goodies map (goto *idkfa) with stuff useful for testing.
108 - (arch,maps,code) rebalanced value of spellbooks greatly. it's now
109 mostly based on the spell's level in the spellbook.
110 - (maps) fix some map regions and the region tree.
111 - the server will now be more picky when parsing the regions file.
112 - improve editor support protocol slightly, provide workarounds for 2.10
113 clients.
114 - follow has been rewritten to be, hopefully, more robust.
115 - follow mode will not be aborted when the follower tries to move.
116 - tcp.ext didn't unbind in reloads.
117 - map-tags.ext didn't properly close the database on reloads.
118 - cfutil skips .-directories when scanning.
119 - build.ext prevents players from building on other player's maps.
120 - rent.ext allows the dm to enter anytime.
121 - NPC_Dialogue adds a new predefined variable, $map.
122 - new "build" event hook.
123 - get rid of archetype min/max values except max_x (which should go, too).
124 - added fix_generated_item and cf::object::generate to XS interface.
125 - no longer use uppercase identifiers for saving anywhere, but support
126 them on loading, for old playerfiles and maps.
127 - removed is_legal_2ways_exit - this is apparently dead code, and
128 would be handled differently nowadays anyway.
129 - random map .meta were not being expired at all.
130 - replace move_ob/move_object functiony by the equivalent move method.
131 - update to automake 1.10.
132 - invitation to maps with unagressive and friendly monsters doesn't
133 require level 4 anymore.
134 - do not let update_stats muck with the chosen_skill anymore.
135 - monsters now rotate through all skills (in chosen_skill).
136 - fix lots of path-related buffer overflows in the random map generator.
137 - detect/sense curse/magic will no longer work on items that don't
138 need identify.
139 - added detect mineral vein spell.
140 - support "wall overlays" in the random map generator - not very generic,
141 used by minable veins.
142 - (maps) relocated jeweler town to another directoy.
143 - (arch) implement mining pickaxes and mining skill.
144 - (arch) add missing stonebig_club archetype from cfextended.
145 - jeweler skill doesn't diminish input values anymore.
146 - generate most constants for perl automatically.
147 - properly check for weapon name prefix ("Ragnarok's sword").
148 - when player dies, restore his food to at least 200.
149 - support multiple inheritance for arch sources (inherit a,b,c).
150 - switch to storable-n-format for facedata, for better interoperability.
151 - implement generic "ranged" item framework (pickaxe, fishing rod).
152 - the singing skill actually respects the direction now.
153 - oratory and singing now require a direction.
154 - use_skill now requires that you can actually apply the skill tool.
155 - do not invoke perl on every user command anymore by providing
156 a command and an unknown_command event.
157 - move mark, run, run_stop, fire and fire_stop commands back from
158 perl to C++, for speed reasons (basically undo patchset 1304).
159 - add a client_destroy event, so we don't have to hook the
160 attachable destroy event (which is called much more often).
161 - removed (unused) FLOOR object type.
162 - fix errornous change_abil messages for rods (and other types).
163 - remove include/commands.h and server/c_new.C, and refactor

167 to sending one fx per item - helps mostly at connect and
168 with floorbox updates.
169 - implemented ext::player_env::play_music_once $who->contr, "km/...".
170 - the random map generator now supports selecting difficult for
171 more style categories than just monsters (all except fountains
172 apparently).
173 - object serialiser no longer creates empty "owner" references.
174 - make sure failed castings take some time, too, to avoid being
175 smitten by your god.
176 - many more failmsgs and help texts.
177 - support log suspension/resumption, e.g. for defragmenting.
178 - stop thrown objects when their speed goes too low.
179 - log the number of unique logins seen every minute in a compact

181 - do not send delitem for players.
182 - support static scalar data members properly in genacc now.
183 - implement "simple" freelist management for objects.
184 - recycle object counts now - to support longer uptimes.
185 - got rid of the dreaded write_parameters_to_string (666 chars omitted)
186 function (and yes, 666 is exact!).
187 - random map generator results should now be fully repeatable.
188 - fixed possible crash bug in build code.
189 - rename find_marked_object to ->mark and speed up.
190 - player movers properly destroy themselves when used up, instead
191 of leaking.
192 - do not show msg for unidentified objects that need identification.

219 - (maps) fix travel to valdor and back.
220 - do no longer by default eval map cod ein safe compartments
221 (this can be re-enabled using the safe_eval config option).
222 - (maps) fix an apparent crash bug caused by broken generstors
223 in lorak.
224 - fix data corruption issues caused by recursive calls to
225 unordered_mapwalk - now every caller must provide its own
226 buffer.
227 - (maps) improve tindervale maps slightly.
228 - (arch) considerably decrease slag ex price.
229 - (arch) fix filth archetype.
230 - extension dependency resolve was completely broken.

234 - do not expect decltype() to be available in gcc 4.4.
235 - extended the safe perl environment by loops.
236 - (arch) fix "armless cook" facings.
237 - the "experience table" resource item did not have a proper
238 hash associated with it, so updates could not be detected.
239 - fixed poison traps in doors.
240 - player->killer_name did not properly flag the name as unicode.
241 - aggressively mark many more methods as utf8 or octet-expecting,
242 and provide a non-destructive SvPVutf8 variant.
243 - do not allow dragon players to change their title via the settings.
244 - ratelimited jeweler skill nugget conversion.
245 - under high load, the server stopped swapping out to make
246 the server more responsive, but making it impossible to reduce
247 the load by... swapping out. slot queuing will now always make
248 some progress.
249 - improve the quality of the load-avg calculation.
250 - (maps) fixed quest npc in jeweler dungeon quest.
251 - don't fail to write the runtime file if the temporary already exists.
252 - ipo.ext no longer uses (synchronous) CFDB, stores mail directly at
253 player now.
254 - rewrote hiscore code from scratch to use async I/O, store uuid and
255 timestamp and use a tab in the client to increase awareness.
256 - npc dialog setflag/setsatte now check for defined'ness, so
257 setflag 0 is possible.
258 - make install now deletes old extensions, to ease upgrades in the

276 - (maps) add gorokh_final mapset from crossfire.
277 - (maps) block most vault-type mlab locations, open up
278 imperial converters for anybody to use.
279 - (maps, arch) replace all permanent stat potions by random
280 variants.
281 - (maps) spread gorokh demon styles more evenly over 1..100.
282 - TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a
283 real player object on player changes.
284 - diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed
285 to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing
286 much grief.
287 - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken.
288 - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit
289 of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other
290 things, this gets rid of all the abs (speed) calls.
291 - reduce map file save files by using abridged keywords aliases.
292 - shop specialisation calculation was totally broken.
293 - nrof/itemcount/volume limits when dropping to the floor are
294 now enforced.
295 - fix magic mapping, which only worked for inate spell casting.
296 - godgiven items will now be explicitly described as such.
297 - (arch) dded a quiver of bolts.
298 - materialnames would change "randomly" on every load, only
299 set the material when the materialname was not set before.
300 - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead
301 of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution,
302 but still.
303 - reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding
304 the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple
305 repeat-cache for speed_left.
306 - always delay stats update for players on insert/remove till
307 next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take.
308 - add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs.
309 - pet monster level was not displayed correctly in "showpets index".
310 - clean up floating point conversions and many similar nitpicks.
311 - fix hanuk altar.
312 - overhaul material system to be much faster, and having less bugs, but
313 still having a lot of cruft :/.
314 - add marble shop floor.
315 - move gcc specifics to new file include/compiler.h.
316 - unrecognised cfpod directives could cause undefined behaviour.
317 - added boes' marble shop to steinwandstadt.

319 - optimise mapspace updates.
320 - cache volume/items per mapspace.
321 - use fabs, min and max consistently (surprisingly for a code size
322 decrease).
323 - fixed a small uncleanlieness in item converters, which might
324 have led to weird item multiplications.

326 - fixed crash bug in learn_spell command.
327 - enhanced output of the mapinfo command.
328 - remove all traces of FLAG_NO_FIX_PLAYER.
329 - avoid sv_derived_from calls (lots of hash lookups) when converting
330 from perl to c++.
331 - implemented least_significand_bit and for_all_bits_sparse_32 utilities
332 and use it in some "inner" loops.
333 - rename flags to attachable_flags to avoid confusion :=).
334 - fixed jeweler experience output to not be floating point.
335 - added lock/unlock commands, thanks for the patch go to Shawn Robinson!
336 - (arch, maps) introduce inactive_shop_floor and fix some shops with it.
337 - try to prefetch memory inside process_objects, which can give
338 enourmous speed gains.
339 - make some small optimisation to the process_objects loop.
340 - move facedata chksum calculation into cfutil, make server more flexible
341 handling different chksum lengths.
342 - check for hash collisions in cfutil.
343 - reduce face checksum size from 6 to 4 bytes.
344 - don't crash when a map uses empty sound/sound_destroy/face.

346 - fixed genkeywords dependency.
347 - do not clear "randomitems" slot for world underlays.
348 - use "sl" as short-hand for speed_left in save-files, just to make them
349 smaller.
350 - in general, don't crash on value-less resource file lines
351 anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer.
352 - code cleanup in move_symptom.
353 - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()).
354
3552.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009
356 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
357 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
358 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
359 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
360 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
361 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations
362 and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing
363 good in mind for free software.
364 - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL.
365 - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files.
366 - implement viewpoint (which is like observe, but only for the map,
367 not stats etc.).
368 - replace magic mapping overlay by a flying bird exposing area
369 on the worldmap (ext/magic_mapping.ext).
