14 - (maps, arch) complete revamping of the transport routes - all cities are
15 now easily reachable, at a price.
16 - (maps) the mana fountain now has a ratelimit of 30 potions per hour.
17 - (maps) added (navar) gravedigger, that buys players gravestones.
18 - (maps) added the rathouse quest for the shockwave spell in navar
19 (by Dustfinger).
20 - (maps) fixed bad floor tile in navar apartment.
21 - made (wizard) look_at show also uuids.
22 - added cf::object::find_object_uuid (::find_object already exists!).
23 - (maps) added new apartment, made by LinuxLemoner.
24 - (maps) added quest for the mining skill scroll to valleynoy.
25 - (maps) added greedy highlevel book shop to heaven town.
26 - (arch) added sounds: zombie death, book reading, inscription.
27 - (arch) made the hill giants loose more body parts.
28 - (arch, maps) added black unicorn horn, required to access mlab hell.
29 - (arch) increased the (possible) number of arrows/bolts found in shops
30 and made them a bit more expensive.
31 - (maps) add more glory hole treasure styles.
32 - (maps, arch) add "hollow" variants of cave\d tiles, and use them
33 in a select number of mlab maps.
34 - (maps) the library should be less of a death trap now.
35 - (maps) exits no longer point to auto-apply exits, most affected
36 maps now have proper doors or a similar solution.
37 - (arch) jumping skill has now physical attacktype.
38 - (maps) fixed nurnberg/reception/fire5 to match new style torches.
39 - enter_map did not normalise the map coordinates when the destination
40 space is blocked, causing badness and freezes for the player.
41 - when applying containers, server checks for the key on activate
42 and also allows players to unapply active containers they don't have
43 a key for.
44 - moved formulae, attackmess, artifacts, exp_table, materials and
45 races files to arch, where they belong (exp_table is no longer in
46 confdir but in datadir now!).
47 - jeweler and sound config files are now normal datafiles as well.
48 - quit_character was causing a runtime exception, causing it to not
49 work since 2.93.
50 - entering a map will now respect move_on and other effects,
51 except for auto-apply exits :/
52 - only talk to the items on the nearest mapspace, or, of there
53 are none, to the player, not ALL items in vicinity.
54 - do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item
55 updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power.
56 - diseases could reduce a monsters speed to MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, which
57 caused overflows causing monsters to become living deads.
58 - unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it.
59 - teach the random map generator the ability to read ".rmg" files
60 that specify which actual style map to generate, and use it for
61 the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used.
62 - support (with some limitations) multiple different skills with the
63 same subtype.
64 - fix "nekosan duplication" bug - map swap out was not atomic,
65 so nekosan could end up beign saved AND escaped to another map.
66 - show invisible no longer makes magic mouths visible.
67 - move_type changes (spells, skills etc.) now will correctly
68 take move_on/move_off into account (e.g. buttons).
69 - display (exit) or (random map) in client for those objects.
70 - removed (useless) spell damage columns from spell info and replace
71 it by effective casting level - clients > 2.10 required to display
72 properly.
73 - building of levers/doors works again for all kinds of floors.
74 - the player can now withdraw and deposit all the available money.
75 - (maps) fix the apartment shop (japan => 吾妻) and add descriptions for
76 steinwandstadt/celvear.
77 - (maps) added /goodies map (goto *idkfa) with stuff useful for testing.
78 - (arch,maps,code) rebalanced value of spellbooks greatly. it's now
79 mostly based on the spell's level in the spellbook.

84 clients.
85 - follow has been rewritten to be, hopefully, more robust.
86 - follow mode will not be aborted when the follower tries to move.
87 - tcp.ext didn't unbind in reloads.

91 - rent.ext allows the dm to enter anytime.
92 - NPC_Dialogue adds a new predefined variable, $map.
93 - new "build" event hook.
94 - get rid of archetype min/max values except max_x (which should go, too).
95 - added fix_generated_item and cf::object::generate to XS interface.
96 - no longer use uppercase identifiers for saving anywhere, but support
97 them on loading, for old playerfiles and maps.

99 would be handled differently nowadays anyway.
100 - random map .meta were not being expired at all.
101 - replace move_ob/move_object functiony by the equivalent move method.

114 - (arch) implement mining pickaxes and mining skill.
115 - (arch) add missing stonebig_club archetype from cfextended.
116 - jeweler skill doesn't diminish input values anymore.
117 - jeweler skill is harder to level now, but in exchange item power

119 - jeweler skill adds the makers name (currently not visible) to the
120 generated ring/amulet.
121 - generate most constants for perl automatically.
122 - properly check for weapon name prefix ("Ragnarok's sword").

145 - the random map generator now supports selecting difficult for
146 more style categories than just monsters (all except fountains

213 - (maps) fix an apparent crash bug caused by broken generstors
214 in lorak.
215 - fix data corruption issues caused by recursive calls to
216 unordered_mapwalk - now every caller must provide its own
217 buffer.
218 - (maps) improve tindervale maps slightly.
219 - (arch) considerably decrease slag ex price.
220 - (arch) fix filth archetype.
221 - extension dependency resolve was completely broken.

225 - do not expect decltype() to be available in gcc 4.4.
226 - extended the safe perl environment by loops.
227 - (arch) fix "armless cook" facings.
228 - the "experience table" resource item did not have a proper

241 - (maps) fixed quest npc in jeweler dungeon quest.
242 - don't fail to write the runtime file if the temporary already exists.
243 - ipo.ext no longer uses (synchronous) CFDB, stores mail directly at

246 timestamp and use a tab in the client to increase awareness.
247 - npc dialog setflag/setsatte now check for defined'ness, so
248 setflag 0 is possible.

273 - TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a
274 real player object on player changes.
275 - diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed
276 to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing
277 much grief.
278 - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken.
279 - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit
280 of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other

282 - reduce map file save files by using abridged keywords aliases.
283 - shop specialisation calculation was totally broken.

289 - materialnames would change "randomly" on every load, only
290 set the material when the materialname was not set before.
291 - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead
292 of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution,
293 but still.
294 - reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding
295 the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple
296 repeat-cache for speed_left.

298 next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take.
299 - add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs.

326 - added lock/unlock commands, thanks for the patch go to Shawn Robinson!
327 - (arch, maps) introduce inactive_shop_floor and fix some shops with it.
328 - try to prefetch memory inside process_objects, which can give
329 enourmous speed gains.

331 - move facedata chksum calculation into cfutil, make server more flexible
332 handling different chksum lengths.

342 anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer.
343 - code cleanup in move_symptom.
344 - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()).
345
3462.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009
347 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
348 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
349 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
350 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
351 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
352 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations
353 and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing
354 good in mind for free software.
355 - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL.
356 - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files.
357 - implement viewpoint (which is like observe, but only for the map,
358 not stats etc.).

368 - (maps, arch) add troll canyon, pygmy forest, elven moon and temple of justice
369 mapsets from crossfire, together with associated archetypes.
370 - (maps) add extended region descriptions for some regions from crossfire.
371 - (maps) define a new whalingoutpost region.
372 - (maps, arch) add all changes to mlab between 2006-08-01 and 2009-10-28,
373 and most archetypes that go with them (without stoning and swallow effects),
374 casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing.
375 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
376 and santo dominion.
377 - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes
378 to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch".
379 - doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field.
380 - properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away.

383 - support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions.
384 - skip /styles and /editor directories in cf::map::static_maps.
385 - implement ->send_big_packet and use it in ext_msg (among other things, this
386 fixes long answers from npc dialogue).
387 - connected magic mouths no longer spill to Log-1, but use the examine tab.
388 - (arch) change marker archetypes to not remove "marker" forces anymore
389 and to not add a "put your code here" force needlessly.
390 - (arch) fix or improve many plurals.
391 - markers do no longer add a force if the slaying field is unset.
392 - sped up search-items implementation, but it's still horrible.
393 - (maps) bigchests are now properly non-unique, per_player and no_reset.
394 - editor_folder can now be used to override whatever cfutil sets, and was
395 used to reogianise the illogical arch tree a bit.
396 - (maps) import most map names from crossfire.
397 - nuke image_sums/image_info subcommands from the protocol.
398 - fly_high movement gives better los, ignoring blocksview.
399 - the addexp command should now honour skill names with spaces.

422 corrupted if the length was >255.
423 - support sub-matches in () inside match expressions, not just conditions.
424 - got rid of motd/rules/news code in C++ part, move motd to it's own tab

456 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where

462 is a wizard (wizlook).

504 - fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery'
505 to explain the skill a bit more.
