-Crossfire TRT Server, Maps and Archetypes ChangeLog
+Crossfire TRT Server, Maps and Archetypes ChangeLog.
 
-2.1
+2.2
+	- relicense under the gnu affero license.
+	- implement server-side framework for generic resources.
+        - use resource framework for server-provided ambient
+          music.
+        - replace limited sound api with server-provided sound effects.
+        - new sc (sound control) protocol command.
+        - improve fxix protocol to include types.
+        - exactly fill tcp segments, if possible.
+        - output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically
+          (and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring
+          low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.).
+        - implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled
+          in the server side). this will allow future expansion without
+          having to upgrade clients.
+        - implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position
+          tracking.
+        - new and more efficient extcmd (server still supports old extcmd
+          protocol).
+        - replace simple messaging protocol with channels carrying metadata
+          (similar to message types, but more directed at the user).
+        - reduce command processing latency by a whopping 120ms by
+          reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly
+          reduces lag by 120ms.
+        - actually send spell faces to the client.
+	- implement player genders.
+        - unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset,
+          otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out
+          was for too long.
+        - fast socket-dead detection (kick player after 8 seconds without ack).
+        - greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_.
+        - archetypes are now subclasses of objects.
+	- rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic
+          (and likely match the actual intention).
+        - implement "crossfire pod" format for messages, with working bold,
+          italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc.
+        - implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints.
+        - implemented (long) book framework, added some books from the cf wiki.
+        - implement generic message framework that uses xml, utf8 for the client
+          protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information.
+	- implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps.
+        - replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff
+          better than the newbie house.
+        - fix the magicmap colours.
+        - optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks.
+        - decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead.
+        - implement observe command.
+        - major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord
+          calls with a simple comparison.
+        - fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the
+          map refresh did not update the mapspace.
+        - support custom keys for regions and maps, regions are now
+          refcount-managed.
+        - allow worldmap overlays anywhere in the 000..999 range.
+        - new system to acquire time slices for background jobs, to reduce
+          jitter.
+        - implement new observe command.
+        - dependency tracking for perl extensions.
+        - new slag-ex extension for cleaning cauldrons.
+        - server clamps some stats now to avoid over/underflow.
+        - fix invoke result processing.
+        - there are even less i/o syncpoints in the server now.
+	- many more bugfixes and minor optimisations.
+
+2.1  Sun May 27 04:21:29 CEST 2007
+	- optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be
+          skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions).
 	- complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal
           to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible
-          to the town and back, anybody can use it.
+          to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes
+          one of the remaining syncpoints in the server).
 	- complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system:
           there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged
           attacks.

         - implement new msg command for in-game messages with meta
           information (using xml).
         - enforce utf-8 for all text messages.
+	- added micropather (not used yet).
         - many, many bugfixes.

 	- per player maps are now marked in the map
 	- maps are saved completely differently now,
           and much more often.
