8TODO: random destination transport may bring you tot nürnberg errornously, likely stoneville 8TODO: random stuff should not be in compat.C
9TODO: reasy_skill find traps does nto unapply the range slot item (bow) 9 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
10TODO: schmorp-neko-san force has sped zero but is on active lsit sometimes? 10 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
11TODO: worldmaps still get loaded on startup before the gridmap is ready 11 close up the source code of the server within his company.
12 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
13 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
14 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations
15 and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing
16 good in mind for your free software.
17 - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL.

22 on the worldmap (ext/magic_mapping.ext).
23 - (maps) add lostwages and lorak (valdor/varsia) from cfextended.

35 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
36 and santo dominion.
37 - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes
38 to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch".
39 - properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away.
40 - map-tags did not properly close it's database tables or wait
41 for a quiescent state, causing memory corruption on reload.
42 - support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions.

83 - reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member.
84 - removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage

1062.81 Mon Oct 12 20:00:18 CEST 2009
107 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,
108 but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators).
109 - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags
110 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where
111 and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this
112 allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to
113 walk on.
114 - fix an exploit where inscription/marking runes could execute arbitrary code.

116 is a wizard (wizlook).

133 - (maps) put the trapdoor above the floor in sisters/necro_ruins1.
134 - force the initial face when loading an object that is time-animated
135 or a monster, so it does not have to be specified anymore.
136 - fix a bug where recasting an ability changing spell could shorten
137 its remaining duration.
138 - fix pedestal and floor building with builder.
139 - fix RUNATT attack mode, which was broken before (used e.g. by mice).

1512.80 Tue Sep 15 20:22:31 CEST 2009
152 - fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation
153 that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :)
154 - split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix
155 all callers to use either one or the other, as appropriate. This
156 fixes the (rather fragile) light spell, maybe others.
157 - fixed an overflow and exploit in the bank/payment code.
158 - fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery'
159 to explain the skill a bit more.

171 - earth wall health bar is now correct.
172

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

213 didn't work.

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

266 whether the right cauldron is used.
267 - considerably optimise shared string implementation by
268 making its null value a compiletime constant.

270 as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently,

293 other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations.
294 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when

320 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
321 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
322 of dumbly just clearing los once.

326 making them actually useful.

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

334 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
