+	- removed all command line parsing, only env variables are supported
+          anymore.
+        - region-specific monsters will now once more be on the worldmap.
+	- fix a disastrous "memleak" where temporary memory allocations
+          would grow out of bounds.
+        - server now writes a pidfile and makes sure its 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.
+	- bump login name length from 18 to 20 char max.
+        - 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.
+        - completely redid server initialisation to hopefully avoid rare races.
+        - do not crash in the loader when an inventory object could not be loaded
+          (from a corrupted file).
+        - redid skills command to send output to proper channel.
+        - object->map is no longer refcounting.
+        - add FLAG_DEBUG for internal debugging.
+        - add NDI_VERBATIM flag to send_msg.
+        - add perl backtraces to logBacktrace-initiated backtraces.
+        - player->exists is no longer a sync_job.
+        - split login.ext's player scheduler into
+          it's own player-scheduler.ext extension.
