5TODO: it is possible to inventory-lock items on the floor, and *spomehow* possible to drop them. 6 - (maps, arch) complete revamping of the transport routes - all cities are
6TODO: think about naking the rhyzian amulet useful - makes little sense in deliantra? 7 now easily reachable, at a price.

11 (by Dustfinger).
12 - (maps) fixed bad floor tile in navar apartment.
13 - made (wizard) look_at show also uuids.
14 - added cf::object::find_object_uuid (::find_object already exists!).
15 - (maps) added new apartment, made by LinuxLemoner.
16 - (maps) added quest for the mining skill scroll to valleynoy.
17 - (maps) added greedy highlevel book shop to heaven town.
18 - (arch) added sounds: zombie death, book reading, inscription.
19 - (arch) made the hill giants loose more body parts.
20 - (arch, maps) added black unicorn horn, required to access mlab hell.
21 - (arch) increased the (possible) number of arrows/bolts found in shops
22 and made them a bit more expensive.
23 - (maps) add more glory hole treasure styles.
24 - (maps, arch) add "hollow" variants of cave\d tiles, and use them
25 in a select number of mlab maps.
26 - (maps) the library should be less of a death trap now.
27 - (maps) exits no longer point to auto-apply exits, most affected
28 maps now have proper doors or a similar solution.
29 - (arch) jumping skill has now physical attacktype.
30 - (maps) fixed nurnberg/reception/fire5 to match new style torches.
31 - enter_map did not normalise the map coordinates when the destination
32 space is blocked, causing badness and freezes for the player.
33 - when applying containers, server checks for the key on activate
34 and also allows players to unapply active containers they don't have
35 a key for.
36 - moved formulae, attackmess, artifacts, exp_table, materials and
37 races files to arch, where they belong (exp_table is no longer in
38 confdir but in datadir now!).
39 - jeweler and sound config files are now normal datafiles as well.
40 - quit_character was causing a runtime exception, causing it to not
41 work since 2.93.
42 - entering a map will now respect move_on and other effects,
43 except for auto-apply exits :/
44 - only talk to the items on the nearest mapspace, or, of there
45 are none, to the player, not ALL items in vicinity.
46 - do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item
47 updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power.

49 caused overflows causing monsters to become living deads.
50 - unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it.
51 - teach the random map generator the ability to read ".rmg" files
52 that specify which actual style map to generate, and use it for
53 the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used.
54 - support (with some limitations) multiple different skills with the
55 same subtype.
56 - fix "nekosan duplication" bug - map swap out was not atomic,
57 so nekosan could end up beign saved AND escaped to another map.
58 - show invisible no longer makes magic mouths visible.
59 - move_type changes (spells, skills etc.) now will correctly
60 take move_on/move_off into account (e.g. buttons).
61 - display (exit) or (random map) in client for those objects.
62 - removed (useless) spell damage columns from spell info and replace
63 it by effective casting level - clients > 2.10 required to display

67 - (maps) fix the apartment shop (japan => 吾妻) and add descriptions for
68 steinwandstadt/celvear.
69 - (maps) added /goodies map (goto *idkfa) with stuff useful for testing.
70 - (arch,maps,code) rebalanced value of spellbooks greatly. it's now
71 mostly based on the spell's level in the spellbook.

73 changes.
74 - (maps) fix some map regions and the region tree.
75 - the server will now be more picky when parsing the regions file.

90 - no longer use uppercase identifiers for saving anywhere, but support
91 them on loading, for old playerfiles and maps.
