11 - bugfix: custom skill settings were not saved by the server.
12 - bugfix: remove did not actually remove items from the inventory, leaving
13 ghost items.
14 - bugfix: properly update items identified on the ground.
15 - bugfix: use localtime_r in the logger thread.
16 - bugfix: player starvation will now give the correct kill reason.
17 - bugfix: archetype reloads could crash the server.
18 - make the killer a real object pointer instead of a string.
19 - dropping items a shop is not interested in won't sell them anymore.
20 - bugfix: the mailscrolls are now correctly handed out even when the destination
21 player is not logged in.
22 - rods and horns with a too low maximum charge allow now at least one discharge.
23 - bugfix: make list_logins non-blocking (glaring oversight). this caused the lag at
24 server startup.
25 - take advantage of new aio_close and aio_chmod.
26 - implement archetype::get.
27
282.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008
29 - completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix
30 all "ghost" item bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
31 - completely automate the weight handling, should fix all weight
32 accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
33 - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase
34 could crash the server.
35 - fix a nontrivial number of cases of code commented similar
36 to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles
37 automatically by lower level code.
38 - replace many ad-hoc checks for client visibility by object::visible_to,
39 should result in broader applicability of functions using it.
40 - merge items with different arch pointers refering to the same arch
41 (due to archetype reloads).
42 - refactored the object remove/insert functions and most related
43 functions (decrease, split, merge_ob etc.).
44 - make it compile better on freebsd (reported by pippijn).
45 - remove GT_UPDATE_INV (no longer applicable).
46 - fix the longstanding "container stays open" bug.
47 - improved floorbox updating to be incremental and other protocol
48 optimisations.
49 - get rid of update_after_inventory_change and only do update stats
50 for weight once/tick/player at max.
51 - rewrite party commands, use party channel.
52
532.51 Sun Apr 20 21:27:37 CEST 2008
54 - properly link against libgthread as that is needed to make the slice
55 allocator thread-safe.
56 - support perls not compiled with 64 bit support (though this is not a
57 recommended configuration) (reported by Samuel Gondouin).
58 - always put godgiven items into the player inventory, never any containers.
59 - (arch)
60 - (maps, arch) the scorn go club was founded!
61 - (arch) do no longer support player abilities, they didn't work anyways.
62 - (arch) the alchemy spell is now of the alchemy spell school, which
63 became a real spell-class.
64 - (arch) the alchemist class now get an alchemy spell book for new characters.
65 - (arch) considerably strengthened spark shower and destruction.
66 - match archetypes by name, not by ptr, in treasure.C, this makes archetypes
67 finally reloadable at runtime.
68 - changed archetype loading algorithm to only require one pass and
69 use delayed resolving of references.
70 - examine command now uses the examine infobox.
71 - implement an "incremental garbage collector" for archetypes.
72 - enable slice allocator again.
73 - implement optional free memory poisoning.
74
752.5 Wed Apr 16 15:06:53 CEST 2008
76 - the two handed weapon skill can no longer be used as unarmed combat
77 skill.
78 - append [drop xxx coins] to altar/trigger_altar/identify_table/converter
79 names (also update all maps to use money instead of coins).
80 - add uuid accessors to perl.
81 - add coin names and archetype accessors to perl.
82 - fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",".
83 - change perl extensions to not use hardcoded coins and values.
84 - write uuids asynchronously (no hiccups due to uuid writes)
85 and be more parsimonous of uuid usage by the exact value out on exit.
86 - write log messages in another thread, removing another sync point.
87 - support multi-line log messages in a nicer way.
88 - be more portable w.r.t. uuids and format specifiers everywhere.
89 - fix a minor memleak in the random map generator.
90 - some parts of the random map generator are not coroutine-safe,
91 so only call it "single-threaded".
92 - major cleanup of memory management in random map generator.
93 - slight refactoring of the random map generator, faster too.
94 - solve the "slice_alloc becomes negative" mystery - no allocation bug,
95 bookkeeping bug.
96 - work around "player is on active list" problem by deactivating player
97 after loading.
98 - garbage collect shstr's more evenly and adaptively only when
99 there have in fact been allocations.
100 - fix object::insert to do as documented and insert into the env
101 if necessary.
102 - fix cf::map::unique_maps.
103 - fix nrof overflow check in can_merge_slow.
104 - fix converter code to handle >31 bit values.
105 - added support for the player_sold flag
106 - converters no longer accept unpaid items.
107 - canonicalize random map meta files for better unification.
108
1092.43 Sun Apr 6 20:35:29 CEST 2008
110 - work around a glibc bug that causes calloc to return non-zero memory
111 when mlockall has been used.
112 - pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls.
113 - use separate thread for ticker timing (and more in the future).
114 this greatly increases timing accuracy and gets rid of an enourmous
115 number of gettimeofday calls.
116 - use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency.
117 - require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API.
118
1192.42 Sat Mar 15 12:05:21 CET 2008
120 - rebalanced default experience table to be more exponential
121 and much easier up to level ~40, then moderately harder.
122 - change attuned/repelled level boni to +-8 from +-2.
123 - use SvUPGRADE to avoid exception in sv_upgrade with perl 5.10.
124 - do not exit on reload/load errors but properly cleanup.
125 - fix a 32 bit uncleanlyness in the slice debugging wrapper.
126
1272.41 Fri Jan 25 13:15:37 CET 2008
128 - get rid of YAML::Syck, it's too buggy and misparses many files
129 (this fixes the jeweler skill).
130 - back-to-back perl_reloads don't freeze the ticker anymore.
131 - convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...).
132 - move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if
133 it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as
134 proof that the palyer didn't use a savebed).
135
1362.4 Sun Jan 13 13:41:29 CET 2008
137 - work around perl bug in configure perl module version check.
138 - fix bug in golem move code that would cause a crash at tiling borders.

140 - fix a bug in animate_weapon, causing a crash.
141 - no longer exit when a coroutine throws an exception.
142 - fix a potential double free bug (nicely exploited by g++ 4.2).
143 - fix the "<player> is nuts" message.
144 - fix an exception at logout due to the json_coder being gone.
145 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
146 - when players don't apply a savebed correctly but stand above one,
147 do not move or kill them.
148 - implement client-side settings page in playerbook (0.9963+ required).
149 - implement generic framework for server-side resource files.
150 - implement resource file update event.
151 - hook experience table update into the framework.
152 - move jeweler.yaml to resources (arch/).
153 - switch from Crossfire to Deliantra perl module.
154 - implement json2json arch filter.
155 - implement widget protocol version 2, support for ui templates.
156 - mapinfo is now handled fully asynchronously.
157 - ext/irc: also log irc messages.
158 - ext/schmorplog: write user stat files asynchronously.
159
1602.32 Sun Dec 2 18:11:01 CET 2007
161 - limited the number of items that can be picked up and dropped
162 as temporary measurement against bad performance or dropping things
163 (this lead to long freezes and triggered the watchdog).
164 - improved the performance of the drop command a bit.
165 - switch from Event to EV for higher performance, easier usage,
166 less bugs...
167 - updated to release version of the gnu affero license.

173 crashes.
174 - fix a problem where facedata wasn't initialised to zero properly,
175 potentially causing crashes.

180 - fixed an important bug that caused passwords to be forgotten.
181 - implement *tag destinations for goto, slaying etc. and use it
182 in some of the maps.
183 - bigworldised many maps (islands as in pupland and aldwulf),
184 which is now trivial to do.
185 - removed all traces of the old (and never working) plug-in interface
186 (70kb code less on amd64).

206 - exactly fill tcp segments, if possible.
207 - output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically
208 (and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring
209 low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.).
210 - implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled
211 in the server side). this will allow future expansion without
212 having to upgrade clients.
213 - implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position
214 tracking.
215 - new and more efficient extcmd (server still supports old extcmd
216 protocol).

218 calcluation that could be easily exploited by users.
219 - rebalanced diseases to spread more naturally/evenly.
220 - completely asynchronous map loading even for tiled maps.
221 - replace simple messaging protocol with channels carrying metadata
222 (similar to message types, but more directed at the user).
223 - reduce command processing latency by a whopping 120ms by
224 reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly
225 reduces lag by 120ms.
226 - actually send spell faces to the client.
227 - implement player genders.
228 - unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset,
229 otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out
230 was for too long.

232 - greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_.
233 - archetypes are now subclasses of objects.
234 - rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic
235 (and likely match the actual intention).

237 italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc.
238 - implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints.
239 - implemented (long) book framework, added some books from the cf wiki.

241 protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information.
4 - implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps. 242 - implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps.
