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 - sanatized alchemy-like skills and cauldrons to check earlier
31 whether the right cauldron is used.
32 - considerably optimise shared string implementation by
33 making its null value a compiletime constant.
34 - use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places,
35 as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently,
36 for lots of code size savings.
37 - monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when
38 they are sleeping: generators now check for the sleeping flag.
39 - tell gcc not to excessively inline some perl interface functions.
40 - remove marking rune length limit.
41 - fix formatting of cfpod when a verbatim block was following
42 a single newline.
43 - move resistances, statistics and showpets command output into tabs.
44
452.74 Mon Dec 29 15:23:38 CET 2008
46 - fix a longstanding bug that teared multipart monsters
47 at map boundaries apart.
48 - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when
49 he/she makes noise.
50 - fix being able to see through walls a bit.
51 - improve look at output.
52 - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant
53 of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
54 shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
55 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
56 other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations.
57 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
58 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
59 - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise:
60 implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player
61 when he/she makes noise.
62 - implement a primitive smell system that monsters can use to track
63 players.
64 - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps.
65 - (arch) new torch graphics.
66 - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider.
67 - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect
68 the guards from being killed by players.
69 - (maps) lots of tweaks in and around scorn.
70 - (maps) use special non-blocksview jungle, mountain and
71 darkforest freely on the worldmap, to get gradual sight obstacles
72 instead of total blackout in those areas.
73 - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore.
74 - add more hints, fix some messages.
75 - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them.
76 - make light additive even within players.
77 - darken xrays effect a bit.
78 - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing
79 objects, not perfect yet.
80 - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow
81 ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset.
82 - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
83 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
84 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
85 of dumbly just clearing los once.
86 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
87 and has a smaller runtime variance.
88 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
89 making them actually useful.
90 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
91 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
92 speedup, as well as in many other places.
93 - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used
94 by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
95 when sending map changes.
96 - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well
97 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
98 - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers.
99 - correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to
100 avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code.
101 - fix volume calculations.
102 - fix cfpod parsing when multiple verbatim blocks were separated by
103 newlines.
104 - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3.
105 - remove old pickup modes.
106 - remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working
107 anyways).
108 - fix a crash when an npc applied a sign.
109

118 only maximally-lit ones.

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

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