27 of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
28 shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
29 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
30 other restrictions of the old code, supporitng further optimisations.
31 - udpate los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
32 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
33 - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps.
34 - (arch) new torch graphics.
35 - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider.

56 - use circular, not rectangular, viewing area.
57 - use minimum viewing distance of 2 in outdoor maps.
58 - negative glow is stronger than viewing area or lamps.

62 - (maps) completely redesigned scorn.
63 - "cast light" now works on oneself.

65 negative glow radii again (they were totally broken before).
66 - the "worldmaps sometimes are black" bug is finally fixed.

68 been fixed, by not relying on buggy perl internals when serialising.
69 - fixed a long standing bug in the anvil converters in armour shops.

77 - pathsync the directory after saving a file for added slowdown^Wsafety.

79 - no longer reattach perl to every object on reload, it's slow, and no longer

103 and update mapspaces if necessary.
104

2152.55 Sat May 24 19:52:52 CEST 2008
216 - avoid newmap commands when crossing tiled map boundaries. this speeds up

3002.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008
301 - completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix
302 all "ghost" item bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
303 - completely automate the weight handling, should fix all weight
304 accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
305 - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase
306 could crash the server.

308 to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles

330 - always put godgiven items into the player inventory, never any containers.
331 - (maps, arch) the scorn go club was founded!

353 - fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",".

382 when mlockall has been used.
383 - pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls.

386 number of gettimeofday calls.
387 - use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency.
388 - require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API.
389

402 - convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...).
403 - move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if
404 it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as
405 proof that the palyer didn't use a savebed).
406

432 - limited the number of items that can be picked up and dropped
433 as temporary measurement against bad performance or dropping things
434 (this lead to long freezes and triggered the watchdog).
435 - improved the performance of the drop command a bit.
