24 - fix a longstanding bug that teared multipart monsters
25 at map boundaries apart.
26 - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when
27 he/she makes noise.
28 - fix being able to see through walls a bit.
29 - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant
30 of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
31 shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
32 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
33 other restrictions of the old code, supporitng further optimisations.
34 - udpate los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
35 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
36 - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps.
37 - (arch) new torch graphics.
38 - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider.
39 - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect
40 the guards from being killed by players.
41 - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore.
42 - add more hints, fix some messages.
43 - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them.
44 - make light additive even within players.
45 - darken xrays effect a bit.
46 - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing
47 objects, not perfect yet.
48 - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow
49 ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset.
50 - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
51 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
52 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
53 of dumbly just clearing los once.
54 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
55 and has a smaller runtime variance.
56 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
57 making them actually useful.
58 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
59 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it for los for a 20% speedup.
60 - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used
61 by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
62 when sending map changes.
63 - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well
64 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
65 - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers.
66
672.73 Thu Dec 18 20:56:31 CET 2008
68 - this release is assumed to be very stable.

80 - fix deadlock in Jeweler::improve_ring_by_plan.

82 (which was probably broken, too).
83 - support negative glow radii during daytime, too.
84 - use circular, not rectangular, viewing area.
85 - use minimum viewing distance of 2 in outdoor maps.
86 - negative glow is stronger than viewing area or lamps.

102 be less erratic now.
