23
24 - fix a bug in the nimbus extension that allowed players to cheat.
25 - make monster smell logic dependent on their wisdom stat.
26 - put the detah reason into a separate tab.
27 - introduce shstr_tmp for fast temporary shstr passing.
28 - replace one-at-a-time hash by faster than smaller FNV-1a hash
29 when hashing strings.
30 - considerably optimise shared string implementation by
31 making its null value a compiletime constant.
32 - use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places,
33 as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently,
34 for lots of code size savings.
35 - monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when
36 they are sleeping: generators now check for the sleeping flag.
37 - tell gcc not to excessively inline some perl interface functions.
38
392.74 Mon Dec 29 15:23:38 CET 2008
40 - fix a longstanding bug that teared multipart monsters
41 at map boundaries apart.
42 - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when
43 he/she makes noise.
44 - fix being able to see through walls a bit.
45 - improve look at output.
46 - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant
47 of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
48 shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
49 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
50 other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations.
51 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
52 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
53 - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise:
54 implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player
55 when he/she makes noise.
56 - implement a primitive smell system that monsters can use to track
57 players.
58 - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps.
59 - (arch) new torch graphics.
60 - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider.
61 - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect
62 the guards from being killed by players.
63 - (maps) lots of tweaks in and around scorn.
64 - (maps) use special non-blocksview jungle, mountain and
65 darkforest freely on the worldmap, to get gradual sight obstacles
66 instead of total blackout in those areas.
67 - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore.
68 - add more hints, fix some messages.
69 - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them.
70 - make light additive even within players.
71 - darken xrays effect a bit.
72 - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing
73 objects, not perfect yet.
74 - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow
75 ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset.
76 - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
77 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
78 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
79 of dumbly just clearing los once.
80 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
81 and has a smaller runtime variance.
82 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
83 making them actually useful.
84 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
85 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
86 speedup, as well as in many other places.
87 - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used
88 by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
89 when sending map changes.
90 - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well
91 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
92 - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers.
93 - correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to
94 avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code.
95 - fix volume calculations.
96 - fix cfpod parsing when multiple verbatim blocks were separated by
97 newlines.
98 - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3.
99 - remove old pickup modes.
100 - remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working
101 anyways).
102 - fix a crash when an npc applied a sign.
103

110 - negative glow radii can no longer cause total darkness.
111 - allow lookat on spaces where we only barely see, as opposed to
112 only maximally-lit ones.

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

139 be less erratic now.

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

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