+2.74 Mon Dec 29 15:23:38 CET 2008
+	- fix a longstanding bug that teared multipart monsters
+          at map boundaries apart.
+        - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when
+          he/she makes noise.
 	- fix being able to see through walls a bit.
+        - improve look at output.
         - 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).
+        - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise:
+          implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player
+          when he/she makes noise.
+        - implement a primitive smell system that monsters can use to track
+          players.
+        - 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 in LOS for a 20%
+          speedup, as well as in many other places.
+        - 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.
+        - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers.
+        - correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to
+          avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code.
+        - fix volume calculations.
+        - fix cfpod parsing when multiple verbatim blocks were separated by
+          newlines.
+        - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3.
+        - remove old pickup modes.
+        - remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working
+          anyways).
+        - fix a crash when an npc applied a sign.
