+	- fix a disastrously "memleak" where temporray memory allocations
+          would grow out of bounds.
+        - server now writes a pidfile and makes sure it's alter ego is killed.
+	- fixed a double-escaping bug in the pod-parser.
+        - rewrote the cfpod parser in C++.
+	- hintmode moved to C++, players need to re-set their hintmode if
+          they dislike "show".
+        - fix RIP inscription.
+        - correctly support gender in emotes.
+        - correctly support gender in the death messages.
+        - correctly generate death messages for players only when they really die,
+          with increased information.
+        - fix a bug in the dynbuf code that could potentially lead to crashes
+          and data corruption (but apparently was never triggered).
+        - close the $ENV{LOCKUTIL_LOCK_FD} fd if in the env, for lockutil.
+        - make sure Compress::LZF acquires the storable lock, might fix some
+          data corruption bug.
+        - tweak coredumping/monitoring a bit.
+        - do not crash in the loader when an inventory object could not be loaded
+          (from a corrupted file).
+        - add FLAG_DEBUG for internal debugging.
+        - add NDI_VERBATIM flag to send_msg.
+        - add perl backtraces to logBacktrace-initiated backtraces.
+
+2.7  Sun Sep  7 16:32:03 CEST 2008
+	- require perl 5.10.
+	- make nrof signed, so that code that checks for underflow actually works.
 	- swap player and observed count's on the map when observing.
-        - optimise away P_PLAYER, make mapspace->player O(1).
         - add (mostly untested) mapspace perl class and accessors.
+        - re-"calibrate" value/weight autopickup to be silver/kg >= pickup*100.
+        - fix a crash in cast_bless (restoration et al.) when no target
+          could be found.
+        - pits now have a configurable "random spread" range and default
+          to a radius of two now.
+        - rewrite pay_player_arch.
+        - use a more stable perl_reload implementation.
+        - do not use Symbol::delete_package (causes crashes after perl-reload),
+          use our own, safer, clear_package instead.
+        - when asynchronously dumping core, close all file handles to allow
+          the server to restart concurrently.
+        - improve the cfpod parser to generate proper xml from proper cfpod
+          sequences, without double-encoding. it should be faster, too.
+        - the above fixes wrong display of help tetx and many other issues.
+        - use lzf and frag packets for large messages for clients supporting them
+          (0.9976+), use it for long books and other messages.
+        - eradicate listen command and corresponding code.
+        - eradicate logs command.
+        - let the client log into the server log, used for crash backtraces.
+        - fixed rods/wands/etc. with randomitem spells on maps, but broke
+          old style spell objects with the spell magic bullet.
+        - (arch) fixed skill less rods in the archetypes
