23TODO: rewrite highscore code 69 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,
24TODO: saying open to the old man in tutorial makes the sign(?) say "@match..." 70 but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators).
71 - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags
72 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where

78 is a wizard (wizlook).

1132.80 Tue Sep 15 20:22:31 CEST 2009
114 - fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation
115 that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :)
116 - split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix

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

134

291 speedup, as well as in many other places.
