13 - improve the look of generated books.
14 - make slag no_drop so it can't be dropped from the cauldron.

17 corrupted if the length was >255.
18 - support sub-matches in () inside match expressions, not just conditions.
19 - got rid of motd/rules/news code in C++ part, move motd to it's own tab
20 and perl.
21 - implemented new "match" type that combines both check_inv and pedestal
22 functionality (and more) inside the same object using the match expressions.
23 - create simpler match expression compiles in many common cases.
24 - reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member.
25 - removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage
26 of the new dynbuf::splice function (which gave an unexpected net win
27 in code size...).
28 - the server will no longer complain (and subtly fail) when an object
29 being removed from a map causes another object to get removed.

13TODO: look into monster widths again? 372.81 Mon Oct 12 20:00:18 CEST 2009
14TODO: cats light witrh JP_5 put light into caster. 38 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,

16TODO: destry_inv() should destroy, drop_inv_to_ground method? 40 - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags
17TODO: coro/anyevent/ioaio releasen 41 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where
42 and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this
43 allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to
44 walk on.
45 - fix an exploit where inscription/marking runes could execute arbitrary code.
46 - examining an object now dumps the serialised object form when the user
47 is a wizard (wizlook).
48 - altars no longer accept unpaid items.
49 - party spells didn't work all that well.
50 - added complex object matching framework (cf::match), and make altars
51 and pedestals use it.
52 - identified skill-tools show what skill they grant.

55 - improve effectiveness of special foods created by woodsman skill,
56 adding more variety to the different mushrooms.

84 that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :)

102 - earth wall health bar is now correct.
103

135 /elmex/mana_fountain.
136 - store arrow->slaying in custom_name, to get rid of the spellarg slot.
137 - reduce size of casting_time, move_status, attack_movement,
138 last_heal and last_sp slots, squeezing some more space out of struct

199 making its null value a compiletime constant.

251 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
252 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
253 of dumbly just clearing los once.
254 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
255 and has a smaller runtime variance.

257 making them actually useful.

259 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
260 speedup, as well as in many other places.
