23
24 - make monster smell logic dependent on their wisdom stat.
25 - put the detah reason into a separate tab.
26 - introduce shstr_tmp for fast temporary shstr passing.
27 - replace one-at-a-time hash by faster than smaller FNV-1a hash
28 when hashing strings.
29 - considerably optimise shared string implementation by
30 making its null value a compiletime constant.
31 - use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places,
32 as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently,
33 for lots of code size savings.
34 - monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when
35 they are sleeping: generators now check for the sleeping flag.
36
372.74 Mon Dec 29 15:23:38 CET 2008
38 - fix a longstanding bug that teared multipart monsters
39 at map boundaries apart.
40 - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when
41 he/she makes noise.
42 - fix being able to see through walls a bit.
43 - improve look at output.
44 - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant
45 of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
46 shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
47 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
48 other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations.
49 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
50 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
51 - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise:
52 implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player
53 when he/she makes noise.
54 - implement a primitive smell system that monsters can use to track
55 players.
56 - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps.
57 - (arch) new torch graphics.
58 - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider.
59 - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect
60 the guards from being killed by players.
61 - (maps) lots of tweaks in and around scorn.
62 - (maps) use special non-blocksview jungle, mountain and
63 darkforest freely on the worldmap, to get gradual sight obstacles
64 instead of total blackout in those areas.
65 - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore.
66 - add more hints, fix some messages.
67 - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them.
68 - make light additive even within players.
69 - darken xrays effect a bit.
70 - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing
71 objects, not perfect yet.
72 - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow
73 ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset.
74 - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
75 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
76 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
77 of dumbly just clearing los once.
78 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
79 and has a smaller runtime variance.
80 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
81 making them actually useful.
82 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
83 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
84 speedup, as well as in many other places.
85 - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used
86 by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
87 when sending map changes.
88 - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well
89 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
90 - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers.
91 - correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to
92 avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code.
93 - fix volume calculations.
94 - fix cfpod parsing when multiple verbatim blocks were separated by
95 newlines.
96 - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3.
97 - remove old pickup modes.
98 - remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working
99 anyways).
100 - fix a crash when an npc applied a sign.
101

110 only maximally-lit ones.

117 (which was probably broken, too).
118 - support negative glow radii during daytime, too.
119 - use circular, not rectangular, viewing area.
120 - use minimum viewing distance of 2 in outdoor maps.
121 - negative glow is stronger than viewing area or lamps.

137 be less erratic now.

139 (to avoid writing it in early crashes).
140 - pathsync the directory after saving a file for added slowdown^Wsafety.

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

163 - fix a small memleak that would eat one pointer on the perl stack for
164 every completed aio operation.
