2Version numbers sort like decimal numbers.

3TODO: picking up the torches in nimbus seemingly works, but after 42.7 Sun Sep 7 16:32:03 CEST 2008
4 a while (used up?) they seem to be gone from the inv but the client doesn't know about that. 5 - require perl 5.10.
5TODO: dragons should not be able to change their title via the settings tab in playerbook 6 - make nrof signed, so that code that checks for underflow actually works.
7 - swap player and observed count's on the map when observing.
8 - add (mostly untested) mapspace perl class and accessors.
9 - re-"calibrate" value/weight autopickup to be silver/kg >= pickup*100.
10 - fix a crash in cast_bless (restoration et al.) when no target
11 could be found.
12 - pits now have a configurable "random spread" range and default
13 to a radius of two now.
14 - rewrite pay_player_arch.
15 - use a more stable perl_reload implementation.
16 - do not use Symbol::delete_package (causes crashes after perl-reload),
17 use our own, safer, clear_package instead.
18 - when asynchronously dumping core, close all file handles to allow
19 the server to restart concurrently.
20 - improve the cfpod parser to generate proper xml from proper cfpod
21 sequences, without double-encoding. it should be faster, too.
22 - the above fixes wrong display of help tetx and many other issues.
23 - use lzf and frag packets for large messages for clients supporting them
24 (0.9976+), use it for long books and other messages.
25 - eradicate listen command and corresponding code.
26 - eradicate logs command.
27 - let the client log into the server log, used for crash backtraces.
28 - fixed rods/wands/etc. with randomitem spells on maps, but broke
29 old style spell objects with the spell magic bullet.
30 - (arch) fixed skill less rods in the archetypes
6 31

89 archetype *archname* (chairs of different facings were merged).

95 instead of being fully random.
96 - update AnyEvent API to 3.4 and above.
97

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

163
1642.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008
165 - completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix

169 - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase
170 could crash the server.

172 to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles
