33 50
51TODO: cspm spell arg
34 52
35TODO: autopickup in shop 53 - (maps) remove random worbench under house in darcap, fix exit and add random
36TODO: quit charcetr doesn't nuke in-memory per-player maps 54 reading to dragonslib map, modify zealots house in mlab/tavern.map to remove
37TODO: ./maps/aldwulf/alch_lab/hut_1.map charm luggae will kill, and make you gain any/climbing(?) exp 55 illegal mlab access (ephraim).
38TODO: farmwife doesn't react to guuh's head? 56 - (maps) make some containers unstackable that erroneously stackable.
39TODO: shop mats should use the nesrest other shopmat, always. 57 - detect stackable containers at load time and make each stack a single item
58 (reported by Saiapatsu).
59 - refactored the anim frames/facing macros/methods to range check and avoid
60 crashes due to corrupted face numbers (e.g. in T_MATCH).
61 - fix possible animation update bug in hole animations.
62 - fix gate closing not updating the animation bug.
63 - do not allow runes to be cast into inaccessible areas (reported by Saiapatsu).
64 - last remaining BUG (that showed up in the logs for the last years) has
65 been fixed: monsters would snatch arrows/thrown_objs out of the air without
66 stopping them, causing BUG: arrow had no map. Fixed by marking shot arrows,
67 bolts and thrown objects as NO_PICK temporarily.
68 - since binutils/gcc/etc. conspired to break static archives, converted the server
69 binary build into non-recursive Makefiles without static archives. hell, automake
70 is certainly not ready for non-recursive makes, what a hack :()
71 - use c++11 headers in preference to tr1 ones.
72 - fix odr violation: struct point.
73 - make the code warnigns-clean, for some definition of warnings.
74 - port to g++ 6.
75 - implement keep_suffix meta for cfutil, so files keep their extension.
76 - built-in webserver uses improved content-type detection and uses charset utf-8
77 by default.
78 - do proper etag caching for resources in http server.
79 - fix webserver 304 response, which contained entity-headers, confusing squid.
80 - potentially fix a bug where ob->contr is non-null while ob->contr->ob is null,
81 causing a segfault.
82 - change DIRX/DIRY macros to take a diretcion as argument, and use them instead of
83 directly referencing freearr_[xy], as the latter is used alot more often then
84 DIRX/DIRY, and this allows us to change freearr_[xy].
85 - tentative port to C++ 17.
86 - fix a potential bug with packet << (const char *)0.
87 - add COPYING.Other.
88 - include libecb and decore compiler.h and other places in preference to it.
89 - include ska's flat_hash_map and use it instead of unordered_map/set.
90 - use c++11 variadic templates in include/callback.h, get rid of callback.pl.
40 91

103 some items. also, no longer uncurses spells or other invisibles.
104 - (arch) remove curse and identify now treta the marked tiem first.
105 - creators no longer identify objects that shouldn't be identified

113 scrolls mergeable.
114 - redo all build material faces from scratch.

128 - applying a glowing crystal now gives status messages.
129 - fix a memleak in the random map generator.
130 - rework the random map parameter passign a bit to be extendable.
131 - (random maps) use a nonrecursive algorithm to generate mazes,
132 also, improve the quality of the mazes (no longer will the edges
133 almost always form a passage) and add two new types - "rooms"
134 and "braided".
135 - implement --unique option to reset command.
136 - (random maps) add new "cave" layout, which is much more ...
137 cave-like.
138 - (random maps) new layout style "castle" that generates straighish,
139 rogue-ish maps.

144 ground up.
145 - fix bug in tausworthe rng initialisation.
146 - switched to the faster and hopefully better quality gfsr{24,55} random

174 - (arch) added potion of fortitude to resist fear for the jeweler skill.
175 - (arch, maps) move worldmap gridmap data to arch/res/ and implement
176 a generic table/matrix/palette converter to cfutil.
177 - avoid crash in describe_item when a power crystal has maxsp=0 (as used,
178 apparently, in the brewery map).
179 - do not endlessly loop when an optional extension cannot be loaded.
180 - remove limits of 000..999 from worldmap coordinates, support negative
181 coordinates and introduce z-layers - deliantra is now 3d, in yet another
182 sense.
183 - move "the worldmap" to ext/map-world-classic.ext and make ext/map-world.ext
184 handle generic "world map areas".
185 - dropped micrpather again - we'll do our own implementation when we need it.
186 - added is_quad flag.
187 - (arch) added quad archetypes.
188 - made the pickaxe mining tool remove quad walls and floors.

192 - maps no longer get activated when loading, only when a palyer is "near" them.
193 - maps can now be swapped (not loaded), active and inactive, other states
194 have been removed, and the map "intelligently" changes between active/inactive.
195 - new variable $cf::SERVER_TICK, also rename pticks in C++ to server_tick.
196 - remove legacy fly_on/off, flying, walk_on/off and no_pass attributes.
197 - server now enforces width/height matches between tiled maps.
198 - fix some off-by-one bugs that presumably created empty rectangles
199 for unordered map walks - which should not cause any real issues.
200 - increase face hashlen to 5 octets from 4, to avoid a collision.
201 - fix output-rate limiting - min/max now use the first argument for the type,
202 as all other similar macros - might cause other breakage...
203 - cfutil no longer creates split tiles multiple times due to a
204 off-by-one bug in comparing mtimes.
205 - cfutil now supports type: prefix to derive faces from other faces, which
206 is used for all build materials currently.
207 - require imagemagick >= 6.6.
208 - fixed possible crash due to broken initialisation order of shstr and
209 freed_map, thanks go to Jonathan Neuschäfer for spotting this!
210 - fix the brace command.
211 - implement refcnt_buf.
212 - avoid std::string to store facedata, use refcnt_buf instead, for a 20kb
213 codesize decrease. wow.
214 - removed version 1 ext/exti command support.
215 - store meta information in faceinfo->meta unless prepended or empty.
216 - new extension, ota_update, for online updates of the game client.
217 - implement a simpler config value system for extensions that allows
218 config updates without a reload.
219 - fix a segfault in reload_perl due to perl 5.12's gv management changes.
220 - make pick_lock work over map boundaries, and fix a crash while we are
221 at it.
222 - make nekosan more disease-resistant.
223 - new event "infect".
224 - setup protocol packet now supports JSONOBJECT syntax.
225 - implement simple web server, currently to serve facedata for the html5
226 client.
227 - sort faces by name in the server to improve caching locality in clients.
228 - actually prune face checksums (exp_table's checksum was too long).
229 - add skill_info and spell_paths resources to enable caching the info
230 and removing another command.
231 - send completion info to the client.
232 - assume all clients support the deliantra protocol extensions and allow
233 fxix/extcmd and other protocol "extensions" before setup.
234 - implement flash-policy-file server on server socket, to allow flash clients
235 to connect.
236 - implement exti doclet request to request documentation,
237 currently for commands only.
238 - created nickmon extension to monitor nicks.
239 - ix now keeps a copy of the face data while sending, in case the
240 face changes.
241 - do not allocate memory for empty refcnt_bufs.
242 - when faces change, invalidate all clients, not just clients with matching
243 faceset, as faceset only applies to tile resources.
244 - remove dependency on Time::HiRes.
245 - move face data to disk, and load it on each and every access. this saves
246 250mb ram on load, and 130mb ram in general, and only reduces the http
247 server hot cache throughput for faces from ~24000 to ~18000 requests/s
248 on my system. this should make it possible to add a lot more media files
249 in the future, and reduces the memory footprint by the server from 180mb
250 to 60mb ram.
251 - create food/missile will now fail when the mapspace limits are exceeded.
252 - pod processing could deadlock because the child process might try
253 to get a lock.
254 - removed support for ncom packets.
255 - remove drawinfo packets from the server (use msg instead).
256 - skill objects now have their documentation in the msg slot.
257 - no longer allow prefix match when matchign spells, spells names must
258 now be written fully.
259 - avoid a deadlock when the incloader is called to load an in-memory
260 file in a child process.
261 - implement spellmon v2 protocol - no spell message.
262 - remove ability to cats/invoke seplls by "count".
263 - the "may" mechanism now supports uuids ina ddition to nicknames.
264 - implement dm/dmhide in terms of the "may" mechanism, so dm
265 players must now be configured by adding may_command_dm: ["uuid..."]
266 to the config.
267 - remove nowiz command.
268 - change dm hiding - hidden status is no longer respected by spells etc.,
269 it only affects information commands. use observe instead.
270 - automatically send fx for all changed faces, not just for visible tiles.
271 - fix g++-4.7/c++ incompatibilities in noise.h, and work around similar
272 problems in blitz++.
273 - catch sigfpe in the same way as sigsegv.
274

286 - (maps) added quest for the mining skill scroll to valleynoy.
287 - (maps) added greedy highlevel book shop to heaven town.
288 - (arch) added sounds: zombie death, book reading, inscription.

290 - (arch, maps) added black unicorn horn, required to access mlab hell.
291 - (arch) increased the (possible) number of arrows/bolts found in shops
292 and made them a bit more expensive.
293 - (maps) add more glory hole treasure styles.
294 - (maps, arch) add "hollow" variants of cave\d tiles, and use them
295 in a select number of mlab maps.
296 - (maps) the library should be less of a death trap now.
297 - (maps) exits no longer point to auto-apply exits, most affected
298 maps now have proper doors or a similar solution.
299 - (arch) jumping skill has now physical attacktype.
300 - (maps) fixed nurnberg/reception/fire5 to match new style torches.
301 - enter_map did not normalise the map coordinates when the destination
302 space is blocked, causing badness and freezes for the player.

304 and also allows players to unapply active containers they don't have
305 a key for.

310 - quit_character was causing a runtime exception, causing it to not
311 work since 2.93.
312 - entering a map will now respect move_on and other effects,
313 except for auto-apply exits :/
314 - only talk to the items on the nearest mapspace, or, of there
315 are none, to the player, not ALL items in vicinity.
316 - do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item
317 updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power.
318 - diseases could reduce a monsters speed to MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, which
319 caused overflows causing monsters to become living deads.
320 - unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it.
321 - teach the random map generator the ability to read ".rmg" files

323 the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used.
324 - support (with some limitations) multiple different skills with the

621 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
