3TODO: picking up the torches in nibmus seemingly works, but after 3TODO: emergency swap mode is not working

5TODO: dragons should not be able to change their title via the settings tab in playerbook 5TODO: xs-warn doesn't end up in server log.

12 - make sure the map is loaded when using a town portal return.

182.56 Wed Jun 4 10:50:40 CEST 2008
19 - require Coro 4.73 which contains an important performance-bugfix.
20 - use anyevent to manage listen ports (this enables IPv6 support).
21 - server supports ipv6 client connections now.
22 - use newly-available Coro::AnyEvent.

24 to let it handle AIO requests.
25
262.55 Sat May 24 19:52:52 CEST 2008
27 - avoid newmap commands when crossing tiled map boundaries. this speeds up
28 processing considerably (especially in the client) and reduces data transfers
29 (saves roughly 1kb each crossing in typical configs). works even with gcfclient.
30 - (arch) fix typo in ixalovh treasurelist causing empty_archetypes to appear.
31 - (map) fixed npc dialogue in pup_land/s_f/special.
32 - bugfix: fix a crash when a player casts a swarm spell and then logs out
33 (swarm spells now stay in the player's inventory).
34 - bugfix: when unapplying skills also remove them from the range/combat slots.
35 - bugfix: do not merge items whose archetype name merges, use the
36 archetype *archname* (chairs of different facings were merged).
37 - bugfix: fix a potential crash issue in find_object_name (not used
38 normally).
39 - bugfix: locked doors cnanot be bashed down by magical means
40 (destruction, magic missile etc.).
41 - swarm spells without a direction now use various spiral patterns
42 instead of being fully random.
43 - update AnyEvent API to 3.4 and above.
44
452.54 Thu May 8 22:01:22 CEST 2008
46 - change floorbox item ordering to enable more efficient protocol and to
47 stay in sync with the 0.9971 client update which also reverses ordering.
48 - bugfix: the jumping skill now gives experience for jumping
49 and for attacking monsters. it also takes about one second to do a jump.
50 - bugfix: players couldn't starve in 2.53 :(
51 - bugfix: correctly send the client a del_spell when a spell gets removed.
52 - bugfix: spell effects like word of recall are removed on death.
53 - bugfix: fix a crash when objects with treasure on top (ground...)
54 were created outside a map.
55 - bugfix: couldn't apply inventory items when levitating, but ground items
56 (fixed by reversing the logic).
57 - bugfix: fixed a mismatched '"' in the debugging description of objects
58 - bugfix: the random map generator no longer leaks key objects.
59 - bugfix: support random maps >127x127.
60 - (maps) fixed the death certificate system in nimbus.
61 - (maps) rebalance onefang, build a road to onefang, temporarily closed zorn.
62 - (arch) the material 'wood' was undefined, it's now a burnable material.
63 - (arch) give ball lightning a real name.
64 - (arch) fixed material of bones (was 'wood', is now 'bone')
65 - support cfpod in ex replies (client item tooltips).
66 - unapply item in range slow when readying a spell.
67 - bugfix: account for rounding errors in weight updates.
68 - remove synchronous mkdir in chargen_race_done.
69 - fix per-race starting maps.
70 - check hiscore on suicide and quit as well.
71 - tell players when they are starving.
72 - get rid of costly object_from_name conversion for altar effects.
73 - fix map difficulty calculation for generators.
74 - slightly more intelligent handling of "is_animated" flag.
75 - support no_drop map header flag (before it was only available internally).
76 - make random-map-generated keys crumble after one hour, use more unique slaying.
77
782.53 Sun May 4 17:32:48 CEST 2008

86 - bugfix: the mailscrolls are now correctly handed out even when the destination
87 player is not logged in.

110
1112.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008
112 - completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix
113 all "ghost" item bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
114 - completely automate the weight handling, should fix all weight
115 accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
116 - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase
117 could crash the server.
118 - fix a nontrivial number of cases of code commented similar
119 to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles
120 automatically by lower level code.
121 - replace many ad-hoc checks for client visibility by object::visible_to,
122 should result in broader applicability of functions using it.
123 - merge items with different arch pointers refering to the same arch
124 (due to archetype reloads).
125 - refactored the object remove/insert functions and most related
126 functions (decrease, split, merge_ob etc.).
127 - make it compile better on freebsd (reported by pippijn).
128 - remove GT_UPDATE_INV (no longer applicable).
129 - fix the longstanding "container stays open" bug.
130 - improved floorbox updating to be incremental and other protocol

135
1362.51 Sun Apr 20 21:27:37 CEST 2008
137 - properly link against libgthread as that is needed to make the slice
138 allocator thread-safe.
139 - support perls not compiled with 64 bit support (though this is not a
140 recommended configuration) (reported by Samuel Gondouin).
141 - always put godgiven items into the player inventory, never any containers.
142 - (arch)
143 - (maps, arch) the scorn go club was founded!
144 - (arch) do no longer support player abilities, they didn't work anyways.

147 - (arch) the alchemist class now get an alchemy spell book for new characters.
148 - (arch) considerably strengthened spark shower and destruction.
149 - match archetypes by name, not by ptr, in treasure.C, this makes archetypes
150 finally reloadable at runtime.
151 - changed archetype loading algorithm to only require one pass and
152 use delayed resolving of references.
153 - examine command now uses the examine infobox.
154 - implement an "incremental garbage collector" for archetypes.
155 - enable slice allocator again.
156 - implement optional free memory poisoning.
157
1582.5 Wed Apr 16 15:06:53 CEST 2008
159 - the two handed weapon skill can no longer be used as unarmed combat
160 skill.

163 - add uuid accessors to perl.
164 - add coin names and archetype accessors to perl.
165 - fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",".
166 - change perl extensions to not use hardcoded coins and values.
167 - write uuids asynchronously (no hiccups due to uuid writes)
168 and be more parsimonous of uuid usage by the exact value out on exit.
169 - write log messages in another thread, removing another sync point.
170 - support multi-line log messages in a nicer way.
171 - be more portable w.r.t. uuids and format specifiers everywhere.
172 - fix a minor memleak in the random map generator.
173 - some parts of the random map generator are not coroutine-safe,
174 so only call it "single-threaded".
175 - major cleanup of memory management in random map generator.
176 - slight refactoring of the random map generator, faster too.
177 - solve the "slice_alloc becomes negative" mystery - no allocation bug,
178 bookkeeping bug.
179 - work around "player is on active list" problem by deactivating player
180 after loading.
181 - garbage collect shstr's more evenly and adaptively only when

184 if necessary.
185 - fix cf::map::unique_maps.
186 - fix nrof overflow check in can_merge_slow.
187 - fix converter code to handle >31 bit values.
188 - added support for the player_sold flag

194 when mlockall has been used.
195 - pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls.

198 number of gettimeofday calls.
199 - use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency.
200 - require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API.
