75 - (maps) add more glory hole treasure styles.
76 - do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item
77 updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power.
78 - diseases could reduce a monsters speed to MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, which
79 caused overflows causing monsters to become living deads.
80 - unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it.
81 - teach the random map generator the ability to read ".rmg" files
82 that specify which actual style map to generate, and use it for
83 the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used.
84 - show invisible no longer makes magic mouths visible.
85 - move_type changes (spells, skills etc.) now will correctly
86 take move_on/move_off into account (e.g. buttons).
87 - display (exit) or (random map) in client for those objects.
88 - removed (useless) spell damage columns from spell info and replace
89 it by effective casting level - clients > 2.10 required to display

107 - no longer use uppercase identifiers for saving anywhere, but support
108 them on loading, for old playerfiles and maps.
109 - removed is_legal_2ways_exit - this is apparently dead code, and
110 would be handled differently nowadays anyway.
111 - random map .meta were not being expired at all.
112 - replace move_ob/move_object functiony by the equivalent move method.
113 - update to automake 1.10.

128 - switch to storable-n-format for facedata, for better interoperability.
129 - implement generic "ranged" item framework (pickaxe, fishing rod).

132 - use_skill now requires that you can actually apply the skill tool.
133 - do not invoke perl on every user command anymore by providing
134 a comamnd and an unknown_command event.
135 - move mark, run, run_stop, fire and fire_stop commands back from
136 perl to C++, for speed reasons (basically undo patchset 1304).
137 - add a client_destroy event, so we don't have to hook the
138 attachable destroy event (which is called much more often).
139 - removed (unused) FLOOR object type.
140 - fix errornous change_abil messages for rods (and other types).
141 - remove include/commands.h and server/c_new.C, and refactor

156 - stop thrown objects when their speed goes too low.
157 - log the number of unique logins seen every minute in a compact
158 format (for statistics).
159 - do not send delitem for players.
160 - support static scalar data members properly in genacc now.
161 - implement "simple" freelist management for objects.

169 - (maps) fix travel to valdor and back.
170 - do no longer by default eval map cod ein safe compartments
171 (this can be re-enabled using the safe_eval config option).
172 - (maps) fix an apparent crash bug caused by broken generstors
173 in lorak.
174 - fix data corruption issues caused by recursive calls to
175 unordered_mapwalk - now every caller must provide its own
176 buffer.
177 - (maps) improve tindervale maps slightly.
178 - (arch) considerably decrease slag ex price.
179 - (arch) fix filth archetype.
180 - extension dependency resolve was completely broken.

182 now acts on the head only.
183 - do not try to connect to an irc server unless explicitly configured.
184 - do not expect decltype() to be available in gcc 4.4.
185 - extended the safe perl environment by loops.
186 - (arch) fix "armless cook" facings.
187 - the "experience table" resource item did not have a proper
188 hash associated with it, so updates could not be detected.
189 - fixed poison traps in doors.
190 - player->killer_name did not properly flag the name as unicode.
191 - aggressively mark many more methods as utf8 or octet-expecting,
192 and provide a non-destructive SvPVutf8 variant.
193 - do not allow dragon players to change their title via the settings.
194 - ratelimited jeweler skill nugget conversion.
195 - under high load, the server stopped swapping out to make
196 the server more responsive, but making it impossible to reduce
197 the load by... swapping out. slot queuing will now always make
198 some progress.
199 - improve the quality of the load-avg calculation.
200 - (maps) fixed quest npc in jeweler dungeon quest.
201 - don't fail to write the runtime file if the temporary already exists.
202 - ipo.ext no longer uses (synchronous) CFDB, stores mail directly at
203 player now.
204 - rewrote hiscore code from scratch to use async I/O, store uuid and
205 timestamp and use a tab in the client to increase awareness.
206 - npc dialog setflag/setsatte now check for defined'ness, so
207 setflag 0 is possible.
208 - make install now deletes old extensions, to ease upgrades in the
209 deliantra vm.
210
2112.92 Thu Dec 24 04:51:56 CET 2009
212 - the destruction spell could/would corrupt server memory quite often.
213 - logging in only fixed the combat slot when the palyer was loaded from
214 disk, not when it already was in memory.
215 - cede in wait_for_tick* when the tivck is inhibited hopefully
216 avoiding livelock during high-load emergency saves.
217 - logging in did not properly unapply all skills.
218 - (maps) make the invite quest marking much more obvious.

226 - (maps) add gorokh_final mapset from crossfire.
227 - (maps) block most vault-type mlab locations, open up
228 imperial converters for anybody to use.
229 - (maps, arch) replace all permanent stat potions by random
230 variants.
231 - (maps) spread gorokh demon styles more evenly over 1..100.
232 - TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a
233 real player object on player changes.
234 - diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed
235 to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing
236 much grief.
237 - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken.
238 - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit
239 of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other
240 things, this gets rid of all the abs (speed) calls.
241 - reduce map file save files by using abridged keywords aliases.
242 - shop specialisation calculation was totally broken.
243 - nrof/itemcount/volume limits when dropping to the floor are
244 now enforced.
245 - fix magic mapping, which only worked for inate spell casting.
246 - godgiven items will now be explicitly described as such.
247 - (arch) dded a quiver of bolts.
248 - materialnames would change "randomly" on every load, only
249 set the material when the materialname was not set before.
250 - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead
251 of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution,
252 but still.
253 - reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding
254 the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple
255 repeat-cache for speed_left.
256 - always delay stats update for players on insert/remove till
257 next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take.
258 - add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs.
259 - pet monster level was not displayed correctly in "showpets index".
260 - clean up floating point conversions and many similar nitpicks.
261 - fix hanuk altar.
262 - overhaul material system to be much faster, and having less bugs, but
263 still having a lot of cruft :/.

269 - optimise mapspace updates.
270 - cache volume/items per mapspace.
271 - use fabs, min and max consistently (surprisingly for a code size
272 decrease).
273 - fixed a small uncleanlieness in item converters, which might
274 have led to weird item multiplications.

276 - fixed crash bug in learn_spell command.
277 - enhanced output of the mapinfo command.
278 - remove all traces of FLAG_NO_FIX_PLAYER.
279 - avoid sv_derived_from calls (lots of hash lookups) when converting
280 from perl to c++.
281 - implemented least_significand_bit and for_all_bits_sparse_32 utilities
282 and use it in some "inner" loops.
283 - rename flags to attachable_flags to avoid confusion :=).
284 - fixed jeweler experience output to not be floating point.
285 - added lock/unlock commands, thanks for the patch go to Shawn Robinson!
286 - (arch, maps) introduce inactive_shop_floor and fix some shops with it.
287 - try to prefetch memory inside process_objects, which can give
288 enourmous speed gains.
289 - make some small optimisation to the process_objects loop.
290 - move facedata chksum calculation into cfutil, make server more flexible
291 handling different chksum lengths.
292 - check for hash collisions in cfutil.
293 - reduce face checksum size from 6 to 4 bytes.
294 - don't crash when a map uses empty sound/sound_destroy/face.

296 - fixed genkeywords dependency.
297 - do not clear "randomitems" slot for world underlays.
298 - use "sl" as short-hand for speed_left in save-files, just to make them
299 smaller.

301 anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer.
302 - code cleanup in move_symptom.
303 - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()).
304
3052.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009
306 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
307 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
308 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
309 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
310 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
311 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations
312 and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing
313 good in mind for free software.
314 - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL.
315 - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files.
316 - implement viewpoint (which is like observe, but only for the map,
317 not stats etc.).
318 - replace magic mapping overlay by a flying bird exposing area
319 on the worldmap (ext/magic_mapping.ext).
320 - @find in npc dialog was useless as the vairbale wasn't accessible.

322 - (maps) add lostwages and lorak (valdor/varsia) from cfextended.
323 - (maps, server) add lostwages and celvear apartments to rent system.
324 - (maps) closed guild houses, this is not scalable, ask your friendly
325 dm instead.
326 - (maps) add town portal to celvear.
327 - (maps, arch) add troll canyon, pygmy forest, elven moon and temple of justice
328 mapsets from crossfire, together with associated archetypes.
329 - (maps) add extended region descriptions for some regions from crossfire.
330 - (maps) define a new whalingoutpost region.
331 - (maps, arch) add all changes to mlab between 2006-08-01 and 2009-10-28,
332 and most archetypes that go with them (without stoning and swallow effects),
333 casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing.
334 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
335 and santo dominion.
336 - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes
337 to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch".
338 - doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field.
