212.92 Thu Dec 24 04:51:56 CET 2009
22 - the destruction spell could/would corrupt server memory quite often.
23 - logging in only fixed the combat slot when the palyer was loaded from
24 disk, not when it already was in memory.
25 - cede in wait_for_tick* when the tivck is inhibited hopefully
26 avoiding livelock during high-load emergency saves.
27 - logging in did not properly unapply all skills.
28 - (maps) make the invite quest marking much more obvious.
29 - (arch) fix warrior archetype names.
30 - map prefetching never prefetch upwards.
31 - wizpass no longer makes you non-blocking.

34
352.91 Mon Nov 30 10:18:09 CET 2009
36 - (maps) add gorokh_final mapset from crossfire.
37 - (maps) block most vault-type mlab locations, open up
38 imperial converters for anybody to use.
39 - (maps, arch) replace all permanent stat potions by random
40 variants.
41 - (maps) spread gorokh demon styles more evenly over 1..100.
42 - TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a
43 real player object on player changes.
44 - diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed
45 to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing
46 much grief.
47 - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken.
48 - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit
49 of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other
50 things, this gets rid of all the abs (speed) calls.
51 - reduce map file save files by using abridged keywords aliases.
52 - shop specialisation calculation was totally broken.
53 - nrof/itemcount/volume limits when dropping to the floor are
54 now enforced.
55 - fix magic mapping, which only worked for inate spell casting.
56 - godgiven items will now be explicitly described as such.
57 - (arch) dded a quiver of bolts.
58 - materialnames would change "randomly" on every load, only
59 set the material when the materialname was not set before.
60 - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead
61 of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution,
62 but still.
63 - reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding
64 the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple
65 repeat-cache for speed_left.
66 - always delay stats update for players on insert/remove till
67 next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take.
68 - add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs.
69 - pet monster level was not displayed correctly in "showpets index".
70 - clean up floating point conversions and many similar nitpicks.
71 - fix hanuk altar.
72 - overhaul material system to be much faster, and having less bugs, but
73 still having a lot of cruft :/.
74 - add marble shop floor.
75 - move gcc specifics to new file include/compiler.h.
76 - unrecognised cfpod directives could cause undefined behaviour.
77 - added boes' marble shop to steinwandstadt.
78 - pad mapspace to power-of two size for speed/codesize/cache gains.
79 - optimise mapspace updates.
80 - cache volume/items per mapspace.
81 - use fabs, min and max consistently (surprisingly for a code size
82 decrease).
83 - fixed a small uncleanlieness in item converters, which might
84 have led to weird item multiplications.
85 - store hash value in shstr, not used by anything, but doesn't use much memory.
86 - fixed crash bug in learn_spell command.
87 - remove all traces of FLAG_NO_FIX_PLAYER.
88 - avoid sv_derived_from calls (lots of hash lookups) when converting
89 from perl to c++.
90 - implemented least_significand_bit and for_all_bits_sparse_32 utilities
91 and use it in some "inner" loops.
92 - rename flags to attachable_flags to avoid confusion :=).
93 - fixed jeweler experience output to not be floating point.
94 - added lock/unlock commands, thanks for the patch go to Shawn Robinson!
95 - (arch, maps) introduce inactive_shop_floor and fix some shops with it.
96 - try to prefetch memory inside process_objects, which can give
97 enourmous speed gains.
98 - make some small optimisation to the process_objects loop.
99 - move facedata chksum calculation into cfutil, make server more flexible
100 handling different chksum lengths.
101 - check for hash collisions in cfutil.
102 - reduce face checksum size from 6 to 4 bytes.
103 - don't crash when a map uses empty sound/sound_destroy/face.
104 - removed weather-specific attributes.
105 - fixed genkeywords dependency.
106 - do not clear "randomitems" slot for world underlays.
107 - use "sl" as short-hand for speed_left in save-files, just to make them
108 smaller.
109 - in general, don't crash on value-less resource file lines
110 anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer.
111 - code cleanup in move_symptom.
112 - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()).
113
1142.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009
115 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
116 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
117 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
118 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
119 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
120 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations
121 and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing
122 good in mind for free software.
123 - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL.
124 - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files.
125 - implement viewpoint (which is like observe, but only for the map,
126 not stats etc.).
127 - replace magic mapping overlay by a flying bird exposing area
128 on the worldmap (ext/magic_mapping.ext).
129 - @find in npc dialog was useless as the vairbale wasn't accessible.

132 - (maps, server) add lostwages and celvear apartments to rent system.
133 - (maps) closed guild houses, this is not scalable, ask your friendly
134 dm instead.
135 - (maps) add town portal to celvear.
136 - (maps, arch) add troll canyon, pygmy forest, elven moon and temple of justice
137 mapsets from crossfire, together with associated archetypes.
138 - (maps) add extended region descriptions for some regions from crossfire.
139 - (maps) define a new whalingoutpost region.
140 - (maps, arch) add all changes to mlab between 2006-08-01 and 2009-10-28,
141 and most archetypes that go with them (without stoning and swallow effects),
142 casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing.
143 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
144 and santo dominion.
145 - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes
146 to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch".
147 - doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field.
148 - properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away.
149 - map-tags did not properly close it's database tables or wait
150 for a quiescent state, causing memory corruption on reload.
151 - support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions.
152 - skip /styles and /editor directories in cf::map::static_maps.
153 - implement ->send_big_packet and use it in ext_msg (among other things, this
154 fixes long answers from npc dialogue).
155 - connected magic mouths no longer spill to Log-1, but use the examine tab.
156 - (arch) change marker archetypes to not remove "marker" forces anymore
157 and to not add a "put your code here" force needlessly.
158 - (arch) fix or improve many plurals.
159 - markers do no longer add a force if the slaying field is unset.
160 - sped up search-items implementation, but it's still horrible.
161 - (maps) bigchests are now properly non-unique, per_player and no_reset.
162 - editor_folder can now be used to override whatever cfutil sets, and was
163 used to reogianise the illogical arch tree a bit.
164 - (maps) import most map names from crossfire.
165 - nuke image_sums/image_info subcommands from the protocol.
166 - fly_high movement gives better los, ignoring blocksview.
167 - the addexp command should now honour skill names with spaces.
168 - (arch) add nuke from cfextended to avoid a crash.
169 - (arch) added many more buildable marble floors.
170 - major namespace cleanup: save 45kb by making functions static
171 that were unnecessarily global.
172
1732.82 Sat Oct 24 03:50:17 CEST 2009

190 corrupted if the length was >255.
191 - support sub-matches in () inside match expressions, not just conditions.
192 - got rid of motd/rules/news code in C++ part, move motd to it's own tab
193 and perl.
194 - implemented new "match" type that combines both check_inv and pedestal

196 - create simpler match expression compiles in many common cases.
197 - reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member.
198 - removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage
199 of the new dynbuf::splice function (which gave an unexpected net win
200 in code size...).
201 - the server will no longer complain (and subtly fail) when an object
202 being removed from a map causes another object to get removed.

219
2202.81 Mon Oct 12 20:00:18 CEST 2009
221 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,
222 but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators).
223 - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags
224 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where
225 and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this
226 allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to
227 walk on.
228 - fix an exploit where inscription/marking runes could execute arbitrary code.
229 - examining an object now dumps the serialised object form when the user
230 is a wizard (wizlook).

241 - do not talk about the hintmode so much - die-hards are expected to find
242 the hintmode setting on the settings page.
243 - IPO no longer lies about prices; prices tweaked.
244 - clarified that all deliantra-specific parts are under the Affero GPL.
245 - enable the object loader to also dump archetypes.
246 - (maps) fix guild teleporters to Pupland Terminal.
247 - (maps) put the trapdoor above the floor in sisters/necro_ruins1.
248 - force the initial face when loading an object that is time-animated
249 or a monster, so it does not have to be specified anymore.
250 - fix a bug where recasting an ability changing spell could shorten
251 its remaining duration.
252 - fix pedestal and floor building with builder.
253 - fix RUNATT attack mode, which was broken before (used e.g. by mice).
254 - fix a broken bow-related speed optimisation by using splay - speed
255 up splay operations as well.
256 - use NDI_CLEAR for the body command, and make it use observe.

263 - switch to YAML::XS from YAML.
264
2652.80 Tue Sep 15 20:22:31 CEST 2009
266 - fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation
267 that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :)
268 - split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix
269 all callers to use either one or the other, as appropriate. This
270 fixes the (rather fragile) light spell, maybe others.
271 - fixed an overflow and exploit in the bank/payment code.
272 - fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery'
273 to explain the skill a bit more.
274 - removed a buggy check for zero attacktype. So that we might find
275 the real bugs in the archs/maps/objects.
276 - Fixed enabling torches with lighters.
277 - (maps) Added Heaven Town region.
278 - (arch+maps) Fixed & normalized warriors on map
279 /quests/peterm/CTower/Barracks.

281 - (arch) The clawing skill didn't have the physical attacktype.
282 - (maps) make the greenway accessible again - this bug was introduced
283 a long time ago, and similar cases are still to be found in the maps.
284 - make the socket_timeout configurable in the code (but not yet for users).
285 - earth wall health bar is now correct.
