26 - fix a longstanding bug that teared multipart monsters
27 at map boundaries apart.
28 - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when
29 he/she makes noise.
30 - fix being able to see through walls a bit.
31 - improve look at output.
32 - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant
33 of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
34 shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
35 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
36 other restrictions of the old code, supporitng further optimisations.
37 - udpate los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
38 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
39 - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise:
40 implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player
41 when he/she makes noise.
42 - implement a primitive smell system that monsters can use to track
43 players.
44 - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps.
45 - (arch) new torch graphics.
46 - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider.
47 - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect
48 the guards from being killed by players.
49 - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore.
50 - add more hints, fix some messages.
51 - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them.
52 - make light additive even within players.
53 - darken xrays effect a bit.
54 - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing
55 objects, not perfect yet.
56 - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow
57 ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset.
58 - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
59 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
60 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
61 of dumbly just clearing los once.
62 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
63 and has a smaller runtime variance.
64 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
65 making them actually useful.
66 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
67 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
68 speedup, as well as in many other places.
69 - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used
70 by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
71 when sending map changes.
72 - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well
73 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
74 - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers.
75 - correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to
76 avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code.
77 - fix volume calculations.
78 - fix cfpod parsing when multiple verbatim blocks were separated by
79 newlines.
80 - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3.
81 - remove old pickup modes.
82 - remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working
83 anyways).
84 - fix a crash when an npc applied a sign.
85

94 only maximally-lit ones.
95 - class selection has been reworked completely and their documentation corrected.
96 - swashbucklers got the oratory skill now.

104 - use minimum viewing distance of 2 in outdoor maps.
105 - negative glow is stronger than viewing area or lamps.

120 - rewrote skill cache (last_skill_ob) system and usage - might
121 be less erratic now.

123 (to avoid writing it in early crashes).
124 - pathsync the directory after saving a file for added slowdown^Wsafety.
125 - speed up emergency_save by not syncing every file separately.
126 - no longer reattach perl to every object on reload, it's slow, and no longer
127 necessary since we don't nuke stashes anymore.

129 better error reporting.

147 - fix a small memleak that would eat one pointer on the perl stack for
148 every completed aio operation.
149 - perl mapspace acessor methods now normalise (handle tiled maps)
150 and update mapspaces if necessary.
