19 in lorak.
20 - (maps) improve tindervale maps slightly.
21 - (arch) considerably decrease slag ex price.

48 - (maps) add gorokh_final mapset from crossfire.
49 - (maps) block most vault-type mlab locations, open up
50 imperial converters for anybody to use.
51 - (maps, arch) replace all permanent stat potions by random
52 variants.
53 - (maps) spread gorokh demon styles more evenly over 1..100.
54 - TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a
55 real player object on player changes.
56 - diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed
57 to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing
58 much grief.
59 - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken.
60 - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit
61 of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other
62 things, this gets rid of all the abs (speed) calls.
63 - reduce map file save files by using abridged keywords aliases.
64 - shop specialisation calculation was totally broken.
65 - nrof/itemcount/volume limits when dropping to the floor are
66 now enforced.
67 - fix magic mapping, which only worked for inate spell casting.
68 - godgiven items will now be explicitly described as such.
69 - (arch) dded a quiver of bolts.
70 - materialnames would change "randomly" on every load, only
71 set the material when the materialname was not set before.
72 - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead
73 of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution,
74 but still.
75 - reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding
76 the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple
77 repeat-cache for speed_left.
78 - always delay stats update for players on insert/remove till
79 next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take.
80 - add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs.
81 - pet monster level was not displayed correctly in "showpets index".
82 - clean up floating point conversions and many similar nitpicks.
83 - fix hanuk altar.
84 - overhaul material system to be much faster, and having less bugs, but
85 still having a lot of cruft :/.
86 - add marble shop floor.
87 - move gcc specifics to new file include/compiler.h.
88 - unrecognised cfpod directives could cause undefined behaviour.
89 - added boes' marble shop to steinwandstadt.
90 - pad mapspace to power-of two size for speed/codesize/cache gains.
91 - optimise mapspace updates.
92 - cache volume/items per mapspace.
93 - use fabs, min and max consistently (surprisingly for a code size
94 decrease).
95 - fixed a small uncleanlieness in item converters, which might
96 have led to weird item multiplications.
97 - store hash value in shstr, not used by anything, but doesn't use much memory.
98 - fixed crash bug in learn_spell command.
99 - remove all traces of FLAG_NO_FIX_PLAYER.
100 - avoid sv_derived_from calls (lots of hash lookups) when converting
101 from perl to c++.
102 - implemented least_significand_bit and for_all_bits_sparse_32 utilities
103 and use it in some "inner" loops.
104 - rename flags to attachable_flags to avoid confusion :=).
105 - fixed jeweler experience output to not be floating point.
106 - added lock/unlock commands, thanks for the patch go to Shawn Robinson!
107 - (arch, maps) introduce inactive_shop_floor and fix some shops with it.
108 - try to prefetch memory inside process_objects, which can give
109 enourmous speed gains.
110 - make some small optimisation to the process_objects loop.
111 - move facedata chksum calculation into cfutil, make server more flexible
112 handling different chksum lengths.
113 - check for hash collisions in cfutil.
114 - reduce face checksum size from 6 to 4 bytes.
115 - don't crash when a map uses empty sound/sound_destroy/face.
116 - removed weather-specific attributes.
117 - fixed genkeywords dependency.
118 - do not clear "randomitems" slot for world underlays.
119 - use "sl" as short-hand for speed_left in save-files, just to make them
120 smaller.
121 - in general, don't crash on value-less resource file lines
122 anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer.
123 - code cleanup in move_symptom.
124 - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()).
125
1262.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009
127 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
128 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
129 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
130 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
131 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
132 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations
133 and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing
134 good in mind for free software.
135 - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL.
136 - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files.
137 - implement viewpoint (which is like observe, but only for the map,
138 not stats etc.).
139 - replace magic mapping overlay by a flying bird exposing area
140 on the worldmap (ext/magic_mapping.ext).
141 - @find in npc dialog was useless as the vairbale wasn't accessible.

148 - (maps, arch) add troll canyon, pygmy forest, elven moon and temple of justice
149 mapsets from crossfire, together with associated archetypes.

151 - (maps) define a new whalingoutpost region.
152 - (maps, arch) add all changes to mlab between 2006-08-01 and 2009-10-28,
153 and most archetypes that go with them (without stoning and swallow effects),
154 casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing.
155 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
156 and santo dominion.
157 - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes
158 to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch".
159 - doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field.
160 - properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away.
161 - map-tags did not properly close it's database tables or wait
162 for a quiescent state, causing memory corruption on reload.
163 - support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions.
164 - skip /styles and /editor directories in cf::map::static_maps.
165 - implement ->send_big_packet and use it in ext_msg (among other things, this
166 fixes long answers from npc dialogue).
167 - connected magic mouths no longer spill to Log-1, but use the examine tab.
168 - (arch) change marker archetypes to not remove "marker" forces anymore
169 and to not add a "put your code here" force needlessly.
170 - (arch) fix or improve many plurals.
171 - markers do no longer add a force if the slaying field is unset.
172 - sped up search-items implementation, but it's still horrible.
173 - (maps) bigchests are now properly non-unique, per_player and no_reset.
174 - editor_folder can now be used to override whatever cfutil sets, and was
175 used to reogianise the illogical arch tree a bit.
176 - (maps) import most map names from crossfire.
177 - nuke image_sums/image_info subcommands from the protocol.
178 - fly_high movement gives better los, ignoring blocksview.
179 - the addexp command should now honour skill names with spaces.
180 - (arch) add nuke from cfextended to avoid a crash.
181 - (arch) added many more buildable marble floors.

208 - create simpler match expression compiles in many common cases.
209 - reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member.
210 - removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage
211 of the new dynbuf::splice function (which gave an unexpected net win

231
2322.81 Mon Oct 12 20:00:18 CEST 2009
233 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,
234 but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators).
235 - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags
236 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where
237 and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this
238 allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to
239 walk on.
240 - fix an exploit where inscription/marking runes could execute arbitrary code.

242 is a wizard (wizlook).

261 or a monster, so it does not have to be specified anymore.
262 - fix a bug where recasting an ability changing spell could shorten
263 its remaining duration.
264 - fix pedestal and floor building with builder.

276
2772.80 Tue Sep 15 20:22:31 CEST 2009
278 - fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation
279 that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :)
280 - split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix
281 all callers to use either one or the other, as appropriate. This
282 fixes the (rather fragile) light spell, maybe others.
283 - fixed an overflow and exploit in the bank/payment code.
284 - fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery'
285 to explain the skill a bit more.

298
2992.79 Tue Jul 28 00:56:36 CEST 2009

330 /elmex/mana_fountain.
331 - store arrow->slaying in custom_name, to get rid of the spellarg slot.
332 - reduce size of casting_time, move_status, attack_movement,

341 effects (w.r.t. put_more) per mapspace, to give the server a chance
342 to survive a hundred deathsheads.

392 whether the right cauldron is used.
393 - considerably optimise shared string implementation by
394 making its null value a compiletime constant.
395 - use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places,
396 as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently,
397 for lots of code size savings.
398 - monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when
399 they are sleeping: generators now check for the sleeping flag.
400 - tell gcc not to excessively inline some perl interface functions.

414 - improve look at output.
415 - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant
416 of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
417 shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
418 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
419 other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations.
420 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
421 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
422 - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise:
423 implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player
424 when he/she makes noise.

458 when sending map changes.

460 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
