|
|
97 | 2.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008 |
|
|
98 | - completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix |
|
|
99 | all "ghost" item bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :) |
|
|
100 | - completely automate the weight handling, should fix all weight |
|
|
101 | accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :) |
|
|
102 | - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase |
|
|
103 | could crash the server. |
|
|
104 | - fix a nontrivial number of cases of code commented similar |
|
|
105 | to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles |
|
|
106 | automatically by lower level code. |
|
|
107 | - replace many ad-hoc checks for client visibility by object::visible_to, |
|
|
108 | should result in broader applicability of functions using it. |
|
|
109 | - merge items with different arch pointers refering to the same arch |
|
|
110 | (due to archetype reloads). |
|
|
111 | - refactored the object remove/insert functions and most related |
|
|
112 | functions (decrease, split, merge_ob etc.). |
|
|
113 | - make it compile better on freebsd (reported by pippijn). |
|
|
114 | - remove GT_UPDATE_INV (no longer applicable). |
|
|
115 | - fix the longstanding "container stays open" bug. |
|
|
116 | - improved floorbox updating to be incremental and other protocol |
|
|
117 | optimisations. |

|
|
121 | |
|
|
122 | 2.51 Sun Apr 20 21:27:37 CEST 2008 |

|
123 | - properly link against libgthread as that is needed to make the slice |
|
|
124 | allocator thread-safe. |
|
|
125 | - support perls not compiled with 64 bit support (though this is not a |
|
|
126 | recommended configuration) (reported by Samuel Gondouin). |
|
|
127 | - always put godgiven items into the player inventory, never any containers. |
|
|
128 | - (arch) |

|
|
134 | - (arch) considerably strengthened spark shower and destruction. |

|
|
138 | use delayed resolving of references. |

|
|
149 | - add uuid accessors to perl. |
|
|
150 | - add coin names and archetype accessors to perl. |
|
|
151 | - fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",". |
|
|
152 | - change perl extensions to not use hardcoded coins and values. |
|
|

155 | - write log messages in another thread, removing another sync point. |
|
|
156 | - support multi-line log messages in a nicer way. |
|
|
157 | - be more portable w.r.t. uuids and format specifiers everywhere. |
|
|
158 | - fix a minor memleak in the random map generator. |
|
|
159 | - some parts of the random map generator are not coroutine-safe, |
|
|
160 | so only call it "single-threaded". |
|
|
161 | - major cleanup of memory management in random map generator. |
|
|
162 | - slight refactoring of the random map generator, faster too. |
|
|
163 | - solve the "slice_alloc becomes negative" mystery - no allocation bug, |

|
|
180 | when mlockall has been used. |
|
|
181 | - pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls. |
|
|
182 | - use separate thread for ticker timing (and more in the future). |
|
|
183 | this greatly increases timing accuracy and gets rid of an enourmous |
|
|
184 | number of gettimeofday calls. |
|
|
185 | - use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency. |
|
|
186 | - require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API. |

196 | 2.41 Fri Jan 25 13:15:37 CET 2008 |
|
|
197 | - get rid of YAML::Syck, it's too buggy and misparses many files |

|
198 | (this fixes the jeweler skill). |
|
|
199 | - back-to-back perl_reloads don't freeze the ticker anymore. |
|
|
200 | - convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...). |
|
|
201 | - move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if |
|
|
202 | it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as |
|
|
203 | proof that the palyer didn't use a savebed). |

204 | |
|
|
205 | 2.4 Sun Jan 13 13:41:29 CET 2008 |

213 | - fix an exception at logout due to the json_coder being gone. |
|
|
214 | - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API. |
|
|
215 | - when players don't apply a savebed correctly but stand above one, |
|
|
216 | do not move or kill them. |
|
|
217 | - implement client-side settings page in playerbook (0.9963+ required). |
|
|
218 | - implement generic framework for server-side resource files. |

|
|
230 | - limited the number of items that can be picked up and dropped |
|
|
231 | as temporary measurement against bad performance or dropping things |
|
|
232 | (this lead to long freezes and triggered the watchdog). |
|
|
233 | - improved the performance of the drop command a bit. |
|
|
234 | - switch from Event to EV for higher performance, easier usage, |
|
|
235 | less bugs... |
|
|
236 | - updated to release version of the gnu affero license. |
|
|
237 | |

|
|
246 | crashes. |
|
|
247 | |
|
|
248 | 2.3 Sat Oct 27 11:22:38 CEST 2007 |
|
|
249 | - fixed an important bug that caused passwords to be forgotten. |

|
|
251 | in some of the maps. |
|

|
|
253 | which is now trivial to do. |
|
|
254 | - removed all traces of the old (and never working) plug-in interface |
|

|
|
268 | - implement server-side framework for generic resources. |
|
|
269 | - use resource framework for server-provided ambient |
|
|
270 | music. |
|
|
271 | - save object owners (players only atm). |
|
|
272 | - replace limited sound api with server-provided sound effects. |

|
274 | - improve fxix protocol to include types. |
|
|
275 | - exactly fill tcp segments, if possible. |
|
|
276 | - output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically |
|
|
277 | (and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring |
|
|
278 | low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.). |
|
|
279 | - implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled |
|
|
280 | in the server side). this will allow future expansion without |
|
|
281 | having to upgrade clients. |
|
|
282 | - implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position |
|
|
283 | tracking. |
|

284 | - new and more efficient extcmd (server still supports old extcmd |
|
|
285 | protocol). |
|
|
286 | - fixed lots of underflow/overflow bugs in diseases and general stats |
|
|
287 | calcluation that could be easily exploited by users. |

291 | (similar to message types, but more directed at the user). |
|
|
292 | - reduce command processing latency by a whopping 120ms by |
|
|
293 | reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly |
|
|
294 | reduces lag by 120ms. |
|
|
295 | - actually send spell faces to the client. |
|
|
296 | - implement player genders. |
|
|
297 | - unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset, |
|
|
298 | otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out |
|
|
299 | was for too long. |
|
|
300 | - fast socket-dead detection (kick player after 8 seconds without ack). |
|
|
301 | - greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_. |
|
|
302 | - archetypes are now subclasses of objects. |
|
|
303 | - rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic |
|
|
304 | (and likely match the actual intention). |
|
|
305 | - implement "crossfire pod" format for messages, with working bold, |
|
|
306 | italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc. |
|
|
307 | - implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints. |
|
|
308 | - implemented (long) book framework, added some books from the cf wiki. |

|
|
310 | protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information. |
|
|
311 | - implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps. |
|
|
312 | - replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff |
|
|
313 | better than the newbie house. |
| 4 | - fix the magicmap colours. |
314 | - fix the magicmap colours. |
| 5 | - optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
315 | - optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
| 6 | - decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
316 | - decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
| 7 | - implement observe command. |
