10TODO: schmorp-neko-san force has sped zero but is on active lsit sometimes? 10TODO: make containers accept match expressions
11TODO: worldmaps still get loaded on startup before the gridmap is ready 11 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
12 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
13 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
14 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
15 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
16 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations
17 and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing
18 good in mind for free software.
19 - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL.
20 - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files.
21 - implement viewpoint (which is like observe, but only for the map,
22 not stats etc.).
23 - replace magic mapping overlay by a flying bird exposing area
24 on the worldmap (ext/magic_mapping.ext).
25 - @find in npc dialog was useless as the vairbale wasn't accessible.
26 - @find results in npc dialogue is now stored in $find.

28 - (maps, server) add lostwages and celvear apartments to rent system.

33 mapsets from crossfire, together with associated archetypes.

35 - (maps) define a new whalingoutpost region.
36 - (maps, arch) add all changes to mlab between 2006-08-01 and 2009-10-28,
37 and most archetypes that go with them (without stoning and swallow effects),
38 casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing.
39 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
40 and santo dominion.
41 - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes
42 to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch".
43 - doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field.
44 - properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away.
45 - map-tags did not properly close it's database tables or wait
46 for a quiescent state, causing memory corruption on reload.
47 - support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions.
48 - skip /styles and /editor directories in cf::map::static_maps.
49 - implement ->send_big_packet and use it in ext_msg (among other things, this
50 fixes long answers from npc dialogue).
51 - connected magic mouths no longer spill to Log-1, but use the examine tab.
52 - (arch) change marker archetypes to not remove "marker" forces anymore
53 and to not add a "put your code here" force needlessly.
54 - (arch) fix or improve many plurals.
55 - markers do no longer add a force if the slaying field is unset.
56 - sped up search-items implementation, but it's still horrible.
57 - (maps) bigchests are now properly non-unique, per_player and no_reset.
58 - editor_folder can now be used to override whatever cfutil sets, and was
59 used to reogianise the illogical arch tree a bit.
60 - (maps) import most map names from crossfire.
61 - nuke image_sums/image_info subcommands from the protocol.
62 - fly_high movement gives better los, ignoring blocksview.
63 - the addexp command should now honour skill names with spaces.
64 - (arch) add nuke from cfextended to avoid a crash.

22TODO: health bars for earthwalls seem to start at 100% end die at 50% 116 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,
117 but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators).
118 - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags
119 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where
120 and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this
121 allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to
122 walk on.

125 is a wizard (wizlook).

134 adding more variety to the different mushrooms.

1602.80 Tue Sep 15 20:22:31 CEST 2009
161 - fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation
162 that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :)
163 - split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix

167 - fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery'
168 to explain the skill a bit more.

181
