58 - (arch, maps) added black unicorn horn, required to access mlab hell.
59 - (arch) increased the (possible) number of arrows/bolts found in shops
60 and made them a bit more expensive.
61 - (maps) add more glory hole treasure styles.
62 - (maps, arch) add "hollow" variants of cave\d tiles, and use them
63 in a select number of mlab maps.
64 - (maps) the library should be less of a death trap now.
65 - (maps) exits no longer point to auto-apply exits, most affected
66 maps now have proper doors or a similar solution.
67 - (arch) jumping skill has now physical attacktype.
68 - (maps) fixed nurnberg/reception/fire5 to match new style torches.
69 - enter_map did not normalise the map coordinates when the destination
70 space is blocked, causing badness and freezes for the player.
71 - when applying containers, server checks for the key on activate
72 and also allows players to unapply active containers they don't have
73 a key for.
74 - moved formulae, attackmess, artifacts, exp_table, materials and
75 races files to arch, where they belong (exp_table is no longer in
76 confdir but in datadir now!).
77 - jeweler and sound config files are now normal datafiles as well.
78 - quit_character was causing a runtime exception, causing it to not
79 work since 2.93.
80 - entering a map will now respect move_on and other effects,
81 except for auto-apply exits :/
82 - only talk to the items on the nearest mapspace, or, of there
83 are none, to the player, not ALL items in vicinity.
84 - do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item
85 updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power.
86 - diseases could reduce a monsters speed to MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, which
87 caused overflows causing monsters to become living deads.
88 - unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it.
89 - teach the random map generator the ability to read ".rmg" files
90 that specify which actual style map to generate, and use it for
91 the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used.
92 - support (with some limitations) multiple different skills with the
93 same subtype.
94 - fix "nekosan duplication" bug - map swap out was not atomic,
95 so nekosan could end up beign saved AND escaped to another map.
96 - show invisible no longer makes magic mouths visible.
97 - move_type changes (spells, skills etc.) now will correctly
98 take move_on/move_off into account (e.g. buttons).
99 - display (exit) or (random map) in client for those objects.
100 - removed (useless) spell damage columns from spell info and replace
101 it by effective casting level - clients > 2.10 required to display
102 properly.
103 - building of levers/doors works again for all kinds of floors.
104 - the player can now withdraw and deposit all the available money.
105 - (maps) fix the apartment shop (japan => 吾妻) and add descriptions for
106 steinwandstadt/celvear.
107 - (maps) added /goodies map (goto *idkfa) with stuff useful for testing.
108 - (arch,maps,code) rebalanced value of spellbooks greatly. it's now
109 mostly based on the spell's level in the spellbook.
110 - the music scheduler did not properly send new music on region
111 changes.
112 - (maps) fix some map regions and the region tree.
113 - the server will now be more picky when parsing the regions file.
114 - do not rely on chosen_skill in calc_alch_danger.
115 - improve editor support protocol slightly, provide workarounds for 2.10
116 clients.

121 - cfutil skips .-directories when scanning.
122 - build.ext prevents players from building on other player's maps.
123 - rent.ext allows the dm to enter anytime.

128 - no longer use uppercase identifiers for saving anywhere, but support
129 them on loading, for old playerfiles and maps.
130 - removed is_legal_2ways_exit - this is apparently dead code, and
131 would be handled differently nowadays anyway.

133 - replace move_ob/move_object functiony by the equivalent move method.
134 - update to automake 1.10.

140 - detect/sense curse/magic will no longer work on items that don't
141 need identify.
142 - added detect mineral vein spell.

146 - (arch) implement mining pickaxes and mining skill.
147 - (arch) add missing stonebig_club archetype from cfextended.

175 with floorbox updates.
176 - implemented ext::player_env::play_music_once $who->contr, "km/...".
177 - the random map generator now supports selecting difficult for
178 more style categories than just monsters (all except fountains

248 - (maps) fix travel to valdor and back.
249 - do no longer by default eval map cod ein safe compartments
250 (this can be re-enabled using the safe_eval config option).
251 - (maps) fix an apparent crash bug caused by broken generstors
252 in lorak.
253 - fix data corruption issues caused by recursive calls to
254 unordered_mapwalk - now every caller must provide its own
255 buffer.
256 - (maps) improve tindervale maps slightly.
257 - (arch) considerably decrease slag ex price.
258 - (arch) fix filth archetype.
259 - extension dependency resolve was completely broken.

284 timestamp and use a tab in the client to increase awareness.
285 - npc dialog setflag/setsatte now check for defined'ness, so
286 setflag 0 is possible.

309 variants.
310 - (maps) spread gorokh demon styles more evenly over 1..100.
311 - TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a
312 real player object on player changes.
313 - diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed
314 to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing
315 much grief.
316 - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken.
317 - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit
318 of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other
319 things, this gets rid of all the abs (speed) calls.
320 - reduce map file save files by using abridged keywords aliases.
321 - shop specialisation calculation was totally broken.

328 set the material when the materialname was not set before.
329 - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead
330 of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution,
331 but still.
332 - reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding
333 the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple
334 repeat-cache for speed_left.
335 - always delay stats update for players on insert/remove till
336 next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take.
337 - add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs.
338 - pet monster level was not displayed correctly in "showpets index".
339 - clean up floating point conversions and many similar nitpicks.

348 - optimise mapspace updates.
349 - cache volume/items per mapspace.
350 - use fabs, min and max consistently (surprisingly for a code size
351 decrease).

364 - added lock/unlock commands, thanks for the patch go to Shawn Robinson!
365 - (arch, maps) introduce inactive_shop_floor and fix some shops with it.
366 - try to prefetch memory inside process_objects, which can give
367 enourmous speed gains.

369 - move facedata chksum calculation into cfutil, make server more flexible
370 handling different chksum lengths.

380 anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer.
381 - code cleanup in move_symptom.
382 - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()).

3842.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009
385 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
386 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
387 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
388 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make

494 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where
