23 - (arch) fix quiver of Holding Bolts.
24 - applying unpaid items will now examine them.
25 - add "What" column to body command, showing items in that slot.
26 - redesigned and rebalanced lamps and torches.
27 - add "..." to item names that have been shortened.

312.75 Fri Jan 9 16:13:30 CET 2009
32 - rebalanced lighting w.r.t. outdoor, darkness and see_in_dark.
33 - fix a bug in the nimbus extension that allowed players to cheat.
34 - make monster smell logic dependent on their wisdom stat.
35 - put the death reason into a separate tab.
36 - converted "connected" slot to string, cleanly got rid of some ugly
37 hacks such as the path_attuned hack.
38 - introduce shstr_tmp for fast temporary shstr passing.
39 - replace one-at-a-time hash by faster than smaller FNV-1a hash
40 when hashing strings.
41 - sanitized alchemy-like skills and cauldrons to check earlier
42 whether the right cauldron is used.
43 - considerably optimise shared string implementation by
44 making its null value a compiletime constant.
45 - use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places,
46 as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently,
47 for lots of code size savings.
48 - monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when
49 they are sleeping: generators now check for the sleeping flag.
50 - tell gcc not to excessively inline some perl interface functions.
51 - remove marking rune length limit.

57
582.74 Mon Dec 29 15:23:38 CET 2008
59 - fix a longstanding bug that teared multipart monsters
60 at map boundaries apart.
61 - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when
62 he/she makes noise.
63 - fix being able to see through walls a bit.
64 - improve look at output.
65 - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant
66 of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
67 shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
68 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
69 other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations.
70 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
71 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
72 - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise:
73 implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player
74 when he/she makes noise.
75 - implement a primitive smell system that monsters can use to track
76 players.
77 - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps.
78 - (arch) new torch graphics.
79 - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider.
80 - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect
81 the guards from being killed by players.
82 - (maps) lots of tweaks in and around scorn.
83 - (maps) use special non-blocksview jungle, mountain and
84 darkforest freely on the worldmap, to get gradual sight obstacles
85 instead of total blackout in those areas.
86 - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore.
87 - add more hints, fix some messages.
88 - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them.
89 - make light additive even within players.
90 - darken xrays effect a bit.
91 - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing
92 objects, not perfect yet.
93 - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow
94 ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset.
95 - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
96 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
97 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
98 of dumbly just clearing los once.
99 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
100 and has a smaller runtime variance.
101 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
102 making them actually useful.
103 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
104 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
105 speedup, as well as in many other places.
106 - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used
107 by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
108 when sending map changes.
109 - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well
110 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
111 - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers.
112 - correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to
113 avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code.
114 - fix volume calculations.
115 - fix cfpod parsing when multiple verbatim blocks were separated by
116 newlines.
117 - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3.
118 - remove old pickup modes.
119 - remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working
120 anyways).
121 - fix a crash when an npc applied a sign.
122

157 - rewrote skill cache (last_skill_ob) system and usage - might
158 be less erratic now.

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