17 - fix a disastrous "memleak" where temporary memory allocations
18 would grow out of bounds.
19 - server now writes a pidfile and makes sure its alter ego is killed.
20 - fixed a double-escaping bug in the pod-parser.

32 - close the $ENV{LOCKUTIL_LOCK_FD} fd if in the env, for lockutil.
33 - make sure Compress::LZF acquires the storable lock, might fix some
34 data corruption bug.
35 - tweak coredumping/monitoring a bit.
36 - completely redid server initialisation to hopefully avoid rare races.

46 it's own player-scheduler.ext extension.
47
482.7 Sun Sep 7 16:32:03 CEST 2008
49 - require perl 5.10.
50 - make nrof signed, so that code that checks for underflow actually works.
51 - swap player and observed count's on the map when observing.
52 - add (mostly untested) mapspace perl class and accessors.
53 - re-"calibrate" value/weight autopickup to be silver/kg >= pickup*100.
54 - fix a crash in cast_bless (restoration et al.) when no target

57 to a radius of two now.
58 - rewrite pay_player_arch.
59 - use a more stable perl_reload implementation.
60 - do not use Symbol::delete_package (causes crashes after perl-reload),
61 use our own, safer, clear_package instead.
62 - when asynchronously dumping core, close all file handles to allow
63 the server to restart concurrently.
64 - improve the cfpod parser to generate proper xml from proper cfpod
65 sequences, without double-encoding. it should be faster, too.
66 - the above fixes wrong display of help tetx and many other issues.
67 - use lzf and frag packets for large messages for clients supporting them
68 (0.9976+), use it for long books and other messages.
69 - eradicate listen command and corresponding code.
70 - eradicate logs command.
71 - let the client log into the server log, used for crash backtraces.
72 - fixed rods/wands/etc. with randomitem spells on maps, but broke

212 accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
213 - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase
214 could crash the server.

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

238 - always put godgiven items into the player inventory, never any containers.
239 - (maps, arch) the scorn go club was founded!

261 - fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",".
262 - change perl extensions to not use hardcoded coins and values.

267 - be more portable w.r.t. uuids and format specifiers everywhere.
268 - fix a minor memleak in the random map generator.

290 when mlockall has been used.
291 - pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls.

295 - use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency.
296 - require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API.
297

310 - convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...).
311 - move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if
312 it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as
