24 - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when
25 he/she makes noise.
26 - fix being able to see through walls a bit.
27 - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant
28 of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
29 shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
30 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
31 other restrictions of the old code, supporitng further optimisations.
32 - udpate los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
33 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
34 - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps.
35 - (arch) new torch graphics.
36 - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider.
37 - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect
38 the guards from being killed by players.
39 - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore.
40 - add more hints, fix some messages.
41 - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them.
42 - make light additive even within players.
43 - darken xrays effect a bit.
44 - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing
45 objects, not perfect yet.
46 - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow
47 ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset.
48 - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
49 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
50 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
51 of dumbly just clearing los once.
52 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
53 and has a smaller runtime variance.
54 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
55 making them actually useful.
56 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
57 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it for los for a 20% speedup.
58 - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used
59 by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
60 when sending map changes.
61 - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well
62 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
63
642.73 Thu Dec 18 20:56:31 CET 2008
65 - this release is assumed to be very stable.
66 - (maps) radically redesigned and improved tutorial.

72 only maximally-lit ones.

74 - swashbucklers got the oratory skill now.
75 - jump skill was fixed to adhere to all the flags a mapspace has got.

77 - fix deadlock in Jeweler::improve_ring_by_plan.
78 - use Coro::SemaphoreSet instead of our own lock management
79 (which was probably broken, too).
80 - support negative glow radii during daytime, too.
81 - use circular, not rectangular, viewing area.
82 - use minimum viewing distance of 2 in outdoor maps.
83 - negative glow is stronger than viewing area or lamps.
84 - (arch) new darkness spell face.

128 and update mapspaces if necessary.

330 - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase
331 could crash the server.
