+2.56  Wed Jun  4 10:50:40 CEST 2008
+	- require Coro 4.73 which contains an important performance-bugfix.
+	- use anyevent to manage listen ports (this enables IPv6 support).
+        - server supports ipv6 client connections now.
+        - use newly-available Coro::AnyEvent.
+        - get rid of the AnyEvent::AIO watcher, start the event thread earlier

+
+2.55  Sat May 24 19:52:52 CEST 2008
+	- avoid newmap commands when crossing tiled map boundaries. this speeds up
+          processing considerably (especially in the client) and reduces data transfers
+          (saves roughly 1kb each crossing in typical configs). works even with gcfclient.
+        - (arch) fix typo in ixalovh treasurelist causing empty_archetypes to appear.
+	- (map) fixed npc dialogue in pup_land/s_f/special.
+        - bugfix: fix a crash when a player casts a swarm spell and then logs out
+          (swarm spells now stay in the player's inventory).
+	- bugfix: when unapplying skills also remove them from the range/combat slots.
+        - bugfix: do not merge items whose archetype name merges, use the
+          archetype *archname* (chairs of different facings were merged).
+        - bugfix: fix a potential crash issue in find_object_name (not used
+          normally).
+        - bugfix: locked doors cnanot be bashed down by magical means
+          (destruction, magic missile etc.).
+        - swarm spells without a direction now use various spiral patterns
+          instead of being fully random.
+	- update AnyEvent API to 3.4 and above.
+
+2.54  Thu May  8 22:01:22 CEST 2008
+	- change floorbox item ordering to enable more efficient protocol and to
           stay in sync with the 0.9971 client update which also reverses ordering.
+        - bugfix: the jumping skill now gives experience for jumping
+          and for attacking monsters. it also takes about one second to do a jump.
 	- bugfix: players couldn't starve in 2.53 :(
-        - (maps) fixed the death certificate system in nimbus
         - bugfix: correctly send the client a del_spell when a spell gets removed.
-        - bugfix: spell effects like word fo recall are removed when dieing.
+        - bugfix: spell effects like word of recall are removed on death.
+        - bugfix: fix a crash when objects with treasure on top (ground...)
+          were created outside a map.
+        - bugfix: couldn't apply inventory items when levitating, but ground items
+          (fixed by reversing the logic).
+        - bugfix: fixed a mismatched '"' in the debugging description of objects
+        - bugfix: the random map generator no longer leaks key objects.
+        - bugfix: support random maps >127x127.
+        - (maps) fixed the death certificate system in nimbus.
+        - (maps) rebalance onefang, build a road to onefang, temporarily closed zorn.
+        - (arch) the material 'wood' was undefined, it's now a burnable material.
+        - (arch) give ball lightning a real name.
+        - (arch) fixed material of bones (was 'wood', is now 'bone')
+        - support cfpod in ex replies (client item tooltips).
+        - unapply item in range slow when readying a spell.
+        - bugfix: account for rounding errors in weight updates.
         - remove synchronous mkdir in chargen_race_done.
         - fix per-race starting maps.
+        - check hiscore on suicide and quit as well.
