159 other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations.
160 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
161 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
162 - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise:

186 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
187 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
188 of dumbly just clearing los once.
189 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
190 and has a smaller runtime variance.
191 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
192 making them actually useful.
193 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
194 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
195 speedup, as well as in many other places.

197 by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
198 when sending map changes.

200 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.

473
4742.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008
475 - completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix
476 all "ghost" item bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
477 - completely automate the weight handling, should fix all weight
478 accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
479 - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase

504 - always put godgiven items into the player inventory, never any containers.
505 - (maps, arch) the scorn go club was founded!

527 - fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",".

561 - use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency.
562 - require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API.

576 - convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...).
577 - move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if
578 it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as
579 proof that the player didn't use a savebed).
