10 - bugfix: fixed a mismatched '"' in the debugging description of objects
11 - (arch) fixed material of bones (was 'wood', is now 'bone')
12 - bugfix: the material 'wood' was undefined, it's now a burnable material

19 - bugfix: fix a crash when objects with treasure on top (ground...)
20 were created outside a map.
21 - bugfix: couldn't apply inventory items when levitating, but ground items
22 (fixed by reversing the logic).

67
682.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008
69 - completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix
70 all "ghost" item bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
71 - completely automate the weight handling, should fix all weight
72 accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
73 - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase
74 could crash the server.
75 - fix a nontrivial number of cases of code commented similar
76 to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles
77 automatically by lower level code.
78 - replace many ad-hoc checks for client visibility by object::visible_to,
79 should result in broader applicability of functions using it.
80 - merge items with different arch pointers refering to the same arch
81 (due to archetype reloads).

92
932.51 Sun Apr 20 21:27:37 CEST 2008
94 - properly link against libgthread as that is needed to make the slice
95 allocator thread-safe.
96 - support perls not compiled with 64 bit support (though this is not a
97 recommended configuration) (reported by Samuel Gondouin).
98 - always put godgiven items into the player inventory, never any containers.
99 - (arch)
100 - (maps, arch) the scorn go club was founded!
101 - (arch) do no longer support player abilities, they didn't work anyways.

122 - fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",".
123 - change perl extensions to not use hardcoded coins and values.

126 - write log messages in another thread, removing another sync point.
127 - support multi-line log messages in a nicer way.
128 - be more portable w.r.t. uuids and format specifiers everywhere.
129 - fix a minor memleak in the random map generator.
130 - some parts of the random map generator are not coroutine-safe,
131 so only call it "single-threaded".
132 - major cleanup of memory management in random map generator.
133 - slight refactoring of the random map generator, faster too.

151 when mlockall has been used.
152 - pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls.
153 - use separate thread for ticker timing (and more in the future).

155 number of gettimeofday calls.
156 - use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency.
157 - require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API.
158
1592.42 Sat Mar 15 12:05:21 CET 2008
160 - rebalanced default experience table to be more exponential
161 and much easier up to level ~40, then moderately harder.

169 (this fixes the jeweler skill).
170 - back-to-back perl_reloads don't freeze the ticker anymore.
171 - convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...).
172 - move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if
173 it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as
174 proof that the palyer didn't use a savebed).

2002.32 Sun Dec 2 18:11:01 CET 2007
201 - limited the number of items that can be picked up and dropped
202 as temporary measurement against bad performance or dropping things
203 (this lead to long freezes and triggered the watchdog).
204 - improved the performance of the drop command a bit.

249 low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.).
250 - implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled
251 in the server side). this will allow future expansion without
252 having to upgrade clients.

259 - rebalanced diseases to spread more naturally/evenly.
260 - completely asynchronous map loading even for tiled maps.
261 - replace simple messaging protocol with channels carrying metadata
262 (similar to message types, but more directed at the user).
