+        - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when
+          he/she makes noise.
+	- fix being able to see through walls a bit.
+        - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant
+          of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
+          shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
+        - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
+          other restrictions of the old code, supporitng further optimisations.
+        - udpate los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
+          removed (e.g. for summon fog).
+        - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps.
+        - (arch) new torch graphics.
+        - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider.
+        - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect
+          the guards from being killed by players.
+        - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore.
+        - add more hints, fix some messages.
+        - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them.
+        - make light additive even within players.
+        - darken xrays effect a bit.
+        - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing
+          objects, not perfect yet.
+        - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow
+          ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset.
+        - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
+          tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
+        - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
+          of dumbly just clearing los once.
+        - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
+          and has a smaller runtime variance.
+        - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
+          making them actually useful.
+        - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
+        - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it for los for a 20% speedup.
+        - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used
+          by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
+          when sending map changes.
+        - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well
+          as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.

 	- magic ears now trigger when used inside the NPC dialogue.
 	- fix overflow in lighting calculations.
         - negative glow radii can no longer cause total darkness.

 	- fix deadlock in Jeweler::improve_ring_by_plan.
         - use Coro::SemaphoreSet instead of our own lock management
           (which was probably broken, too).
+        - support negative glow radii during daytime, too.
+        - use circular, not rectangular, viewing area.
+        - use minimum viewing distance of 2 in outdoor maps.
+        - negative glow is stronger than viewing area or lamps.
