32.2 3TODO: emergency swap mode is not working
4TODO: xs-warn doesn't end up in server log.
5TODO: maybe move gsay to the main chat channel?

312.56 Wed Jun 4 10:50:40 CEST 2008
32 - require Coro 4.73 which contains an important performance-bugfix.

38
392.55 Sat May 24 19:52:52 CEST 2008
40 - avoid newmap commands when crossing tiled map boundaries. this speeds up
41 processing considerably (especially in the client) and reduces data transfers

46 (swarm spells now stay in the player's inventory).
47 - bugfix: when unapplying skills also remove them from the range/combat slots.
48 - bugfix: do not merge items whose archetype name merges, use the
49 archetype *archname* (chairs of different facings were merged).

51 normally).
52 - bugfix: locked doors cnanot be bashed down by magical means
53 (destruction, magic missile etc.).
54 - swarm spells without a direction now use various spiral patterns
55 instead of being fully random.
56 - update AnyEvent API to 3.4 and above.
57
582.54 Thu May 8 22:01:22 CEST 2008

60 stay in sync with the 0.9971 client update which also reverses ordering.

72 - bugfix: support random maps >127x127.
73 - (maps) fixed the death certificate system in nimbus.
74 - (maps) rebalance onefang, build a road to onefang, temporarily closed zorn.
75 - (arch) the material 'wood' was undefined, it's now a burnable material.
76 - (arch) give ball lightning a real name.

80 - bugfix: account for rounding errors in weight updates.
81 - remove synchronous mkdir in chargen_race_done.
82 - fix per-race starting maps.
83 - check hiscore on suicide and quit as well.
84 - tell players when they are starving.

90
912.53 Sun May 4 17:32:48 CEST 2008

123
1242.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008
125 - completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix

127 - completely automate the weight handling, should fix all weight
128 accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
129 - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase
130 could crash the server.
131 - fix a nontrivial number of cases of code commented similar
132 to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles
133 automatically by lower level code.
134 - replace many ad-hoc checks for client visibility by object::visible_to,
135 should result in broader applicability of functions using it.

151 allocator thread-safe.

153 recommended configuration) (reported by Samuel Gondouin).
154 - always put godgiven items into the player inventory, never any containers.
155 - (arch)
156 - (maps, arch) the scorn go club was founded!

177 - add coin names and archetype accessors to perl.
178 - fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",".
179 - change perl extensions to not use hardcoded coins and values.

183 - support multi-line log messages in a nicer way.
184 - be more portable w.r.t. uuids and format specifiers everywhere.
185 - fix a minor memleak in the random map generator.

188 - major cleanup of memory management in random map generator.
189 - slight refactoring of the random map generator, faster too.

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

211 number of gettimeofday calls.
212 - use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency.
213 - require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API.
214
2152.42 Sat Mar 15 12:05:21 CET 2008

226 - back-to-back perl_reloads don't freeze the ticker anymore.
227 - convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...).
228 - move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if
229 it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as
230 proof that the palyer didn't use a savebed).

257 - limited the number of items that can be picked up and dropped
258 as temporary measurement against bad performance or dropping things
259 (this lead to long freezes and triggered the watchdog).
