8 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,
9 but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators).
10 - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags
11 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where
12 and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this
13 allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to
14 walk on.
15 - fix an exploit where inscription/marking runes could execute arbitrary code.
16 - examining an object now dumps the serialised object form when the user
17 is a wizard (wizlook).
18 - altars no longer accept unpaid items.
19 - party spells didn't work all that well.
20 - added complex object matching framework (cf::match), and make altars
21 and pedestals use it.
22 - identified skill-tools show what skill they grant.
23 - display the duration of change_ability spells when examining them
24 (missing: protection spells, but they are a hack...).
25 - improve effectiveness of special foods created by woodsman skill,
26 adding more variety to the different mushrooms.
27 - fix a minor cfpod formatting bug.
28 - do not talk about the hintmode so much - die-hards are expected to find
29 the hintmode setting on the settings page.
30 - IPO no longer lies about prices; prices tweaked.
31 - clarified that all deliantra-specific parts are under the Affero GPL.
32 - enable the object loader to also dump archetypes.
33 - (maps) fix guild teleporters to Pupland Terminal.
34 - (maps) put the trapdoor above the floor in sisters/necro_ruins1.
35 - force the initial face when loading an object that is time-animated
36 or a monster, so it does not have to be specified anymore.
37 - fix a bug where recasting an ability changing spell could shorten
38 its remaining duration.
39 - fix pedestal and floor building with builder.
40 - fix RUNATT attack mode, which was broken before (used e.g. by mice).
41 - fix a broken bow-related speed optimisation by using splay - speed
42 up splay operations as well.
43 - use NDI_CLEAR for the body command, and make it use observe.
44 - implement introspection data for C++ classes (%REFLECT).
45 - (arch) add name_pl fields and documentation for building materials.
46 - (maps) random fountains no longer generate permanent stat increases.
47 - fix transmutation alchemy.
48 - speed up many frequently-invoked C->perl callbacks.
49 - added complex object matching framework, to be used in altars and the like.
50 - switch to YAML::XS from YAML.

169 making its null value a compiletime constant.

171 as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently,

195 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when

221 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
222 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
223 of dumbly just clearing los once.
224 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
225 and has a smaller runtime variance.
226 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
227 making them actually useful.
228 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
229 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
230 speedup, as well as in many other places.

235 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
