|
|
7 | |
|
|
8 | - require Coro 4.73 which contains an important performance-bugfix. |
|
|
9 | - use anyevent to manage listen ports (this enables IPv6 support). |

10 | - server supports ipv6 client connections now. |
|
|
11 | - use newly-available Coro::AnyEvent. |
|
|
12 | - get rid of the AnyEvent::AIO watcher, start the event thread earlier |

|
|
16 | - avoid newmap commands when crossing tiled map boundaries. this speeds up |
|
|

|
|
31 | instead of being fully random. |

|
|
33 | |
|
|

|
|
36 | stay in sync with the 0.9971 client update which also reverses ordering. |
|
|
37 | - bugfix: the jumping skill now gives experience for jumping |
|
|
38 | and for attacking monsters. it also takes about one second to do a jump. |

|
100 | 2.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008 |
|
|
101 | - completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix |
|
|
102 | all "ghost" item bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :) |

|
103 | - completely automate the weight handling, should fix all weight |
|
|
104 | accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :) |
|
|
105 | - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase |
|
|
106 | could crash the server. |
|
|
107 | - fix a nontrivial number of cases of code commented similar |
|
|
108 | to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles |
|
|
109 | automatically by lower level code. |
|
|
110 | - replace many ad-hoc checks for client visibility by object::visible_to, |
|
|
111 | should result in broader applicability of functions using it. |
|
|
112 | - merge items with different arch pointers refering to the same arch |
|
|
113 | (due to archetype reloads). |
|
|

|
|
115 | functions (decrease, split, merge_ob etc.). |
|

|
|
120 | optimisations. |

|
|
127 | allocator thread-safe. |

|
|
129 | recommended configuration) (reported by Samuel Gondouin). |

|
|
165 | - slight refactoring of the random map generator, faster too. |
