142.75 Fri Jan 9 16:13:30 CET 2009
15 - rebalanced lighting w.r.t. outdoor, darkness and see_in_dark.
16 - fix a bug in the nimbus extension that allowed players to cheat.
17 - make monster smell logic dependent on their wisdom stat.
18 - put the death reason into a separate tab.
19 - converted "connected" slot to string, cleanly got rid of some ugly
20 hacks such as the path_attuned hack.
21 - introduce shstr_tmp for fast temporary shstr passing.
22 - replace one-at-a-time hash by faster than smaller FNV-1a hash
23 when hashing strings.
24 - sanitized alchemy-like skills and cauldrons to check earlier
25 whether the right cauldron is used.
26 - considerably optimise shared string implementation by
27 making its null value a compiletime constant.
28 - use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places,
29 as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently,
30 for lots of code size savings.
31 - monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when
32 they are sleeping: generators now check for the sleeping flag.
33 - tell gcc not to excessively inline some perl interface functions.
34 - remove marking rune length limit.
35 - fix formatting of cfpod when a verbatim block was following
36 a single newline.

8 40
9 - added auto_apply event and extension for shop tiles 412.74 Mon Dec 29 15:23:38 CET 2008
42 - fix a longstanding bug that teared multipart monsters
43 at map boundaries apart.
44 - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when
45 he/she makes noise.
46 - fix being able to see through walls a bit.
47 - improve look at output.
48 - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant
49 of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
50 shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
51 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
52 other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations.
53 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
54 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
55 - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise:
56 implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player
57 when he/she makes noise.
58 - implement a primitive smell system that monsters can use to track
59 players.
60 - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps.
61 - (arch) new torch graphics.
62 - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider.
63 - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect
64 the guards from being killed by players.
65 - (maps) lots of tweaks in and around scorn.
66 - (maps) use special non-blocksview jungle, mountain and
67 darkforest freely on the worldmap, to get gradual sight obstacles
68 instead of total blackout in those areas.
69 - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore.
70 - add more hints, fix some messages.
71 - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them.
72 - make light additive even within players.
73 - darken xrays effect a bit.
74 - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing
75 objects, not perfect yet.
76 - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow
77 ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset.
78 - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
79 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
80 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
81 of dumbly just clearing los once.
82 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
83 and has a smaller runtime variance.
84 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
85 making them actually useful.
86 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
87 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
88 speedup, as well as in many other places.
89 - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used
90 by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
91 when sending map changes.
92 - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well
93 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
94 - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers.

96 avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code.
97 - fix volume calculations.

99 newlines.
100 - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3.
101 - remove old pickup modes.
