53
54 - (maps) remove random worbench under house in darcap, fix exit and add random
55 reading to dragonslib map, modify zealots house in mlab/tavern.map to remove
56 illegal mlab access (ephraim).
57 - (maps) make some containers unstackable that erroneously stackable.
58 - detect stackable containers at load time and make each stack a single item
59 (reported by Saiapatsu).
60 - do not allow runes to be cast into inaccessible areas (reported by Saiapatsu).
61 - last remaining BUG (that showed up in the logs for the last years) has
62 been fixed: monsters would snatch arrows/thrown_objs out of the air without
63 stopping them, causing BUG: arrow had no map. Fixed by marking shot arrows,
64 bolts and thrown objects as NO_PICK temporarily.
65 - since binutils/gcc/etc. conspired to break static archives, converted the server
66 binary build into non-recursive Makefiles without static archives. hell, automake
67 is certainly not ready for non-recursive makes, what a hack :()
68 - use c++11 headers in preference to tr1 ones.
69 - fix odr violation: struct point.
70 - make the code warnigns-clean, for some definition of warnings.
71 - port to g++ 6.
72 - implement keep_suffix meta for cfutil, so files keep their extension.
73 - built-in webserver uses improved content-type detection and uses charset utf-8
74 by default.
75 - do proper etag caching for resources in http server.
76 - fix webserver 304 response, which contained entity-headers, confusing squid.
77 - potentially fix a bug where ob->contr is non-null while ob->contr->ob is null,
78 causing a segfault.
79 - change DIRX/DIRY macros to take a diretcion as argument, and use them instead of
80 directly referencing freearr_[xy], as the latter is used alot more often then
81 DIRX/DIRY, and this allows us to change freearr_[xy].
82 - tentative port to C++ 17.
83 - fix a potential bug with packet << (const char *)0.
84
853.1 Wed Nov 16 23:17:11 CET 2016
86 - convert to blitz++ 0.10 and later (also requiring c++ 11).

92 - (arch) fixed an error in the Gnarg scale mail artifact.
93 - it was possible to unapply or half-unapply cursed items in many
94 cases, which confused players and also player state. fixed.
95 - (arch) remove curse now works more liek idnetify in that it uncurses
96 some items. also, no longer uncurses spells or other invisibles.
97 - (arch) remove curse and identify now treta the marked tiem first.
98 - creators no longer identify objects that shouldn't be identified
99 (such as money, which won't stack afterwards).

106 scrolls mergeable.
107 - redo all build material faces from scratch.
108 - dropall without arguments now drops all containers.
109 - use blitz++ for vector maths (new dependency).
110 - only match archetype names in artifact allowed names.

112 - altars with match expressions did not work properly.
113 - use last_sp not cursed/damned flags in remove_curse/damnation spells.
114 - god enemy race check fixed ("god detests your race").
115 - gods erroneously allowed any kind of worshipping race, even
116 ones they hate.
117 - use same default config in code as on gameserver.deliantra.net.

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

137 ground up.
138 - fix bug in tausworthe rng initialisation.
139 - switched to the faster and hopefully better quality gfsr{24,55} random
140 number generator, the same algorithm that freeciv apparently uses.

142 memory and imho looks nicer.
143 - (arch) fix samhlaidh archetype.
144 - fix the "archname" match special function.
145 - add kensler ("better gradient noise") functins, as well as fBm
146 and other fractal algorithms.

156 match expressions.
157 - don't cause an error if a monster tries to cast magic mapping.
158 - sometimes a special exit wasn't placed when it should have been.

162 - add perlxsi.c to cleanfiles.
163 - (arch) made speed potions easier for now.
164 - the server didn't properly initialise all client skill slots,
165 no known impact.

167 - (arch) added potion of fortitude to resist fear for the jeweler skill.
168 - (arch, maps) move worldmap gridmap data to arch/res/ and implement
169 a generic table/matrix/palette converter to cfutil.
170 - avoid crash in describe_item when a power crystal has maxsp=0 (as used,
171 apparently, in the brewery map).
172 - do not endlessly loop when an optional extension cannot be loaded.
173 - remove limits of 000..999 from worldmap coordinates, support negative
174 coordinates and introduce z-layers - deliantra is now 3d, in yet another
175 sense.
176 - move "the worldmap" to ext/map-world-classic.ext and make ext/map-world.ext
177 handle generic "world map areas".
178 - dropped micrpather again - we'll do our own implementation when we need it.
179 - added is_quad flag.
180 - (arch) added quad archetypes.
181 - made the pickaxe mining tool remove quad walls and floors.
182 - move key_values into their own class, simplifiying lots of code and
183 making it possible to use kv pairs easily for maps and other objects as well.
184 - get rid of get_archetype, finally.
185 - maps no longer get activated when loading, only when a palyer is "near" them.
186 - maps can now be swapped (not loaded), active and inactive, other states
187 have been removed, and the map "intelligently" changes between active/inactive.
188 - new variable $cf::SERVER_TICK, also rename pticks in C++ to server_tick.
189 - remove legacy fly_on/off, flying, walk_on/off and no_pass attributes.
190 - server now enforces width/height matches between tiled maps.
191 - fix some off-by-one bugs that presumably created empty rectangles
192 for unordered map walks - which should not cause any real issues.
193 - increase face hashlen to 5 octets from 4, to avoid a collision.
194 - fix output-rate limiting - min/max now use the first argument for the type,
195 as all other similar macros - might cause other breakage...
196 - cfutil no longer creates split tiles multiple times due to a
197 off-by-one bug in comparing mtimes.
198 - cfutil now supports type: prefix to derive faces from other faces, which
199 is used for all build materials currently.
200 - require imagemagick >= 6.6.
201 - fixed possible crash due to broken initialisation order of shstr and
202 freed_map, thanks go to Jonathan Neuschäfer for spotting this!
203 - fix the brace command.
204 - implement refcnt_buf.
205 - avoid std::string to store facedata, use refcnt_buf instead, for a 20kb
206 codesize decrease. wow.
207 - removed version 1 ext/exti command support.
208 - store meta information in faceinfo->meta unless prepended or empty.
209 - new extension, ota_update, for online updates of the game client.
210 - implement a simpler config value system for extensions that allows
211 config updates without a reload.
212 - fix a segfault in reload_perl due to perl 5.12's gv management changes.
213 - make pick_lock work over map boundaries, and fix a crash while we are
214 at it.
215 - make nekosan more disease-resistant.
216 - new event "infect".
217 - setup protocol packet now supports JSONOBJECT syntax.
218 - implement simple web server, currently to serve facedata for the html5
219 client.
220 - sort faces by name in the server to improve caching locality in clients.
221 - actually prune face checksums (exp_table's checksum was too long).
222 - add skill_info and spell_paths resources to enable caching the info
223 and removing another command.
224 - send completion info to the client.
225 - assume all clients support the deliantra protocol extensions and allow
226 fxix/extcmd and other protocol "extensions" before setup.
227 - implement flash-policy-file server on server socket, to allow flash clients
228 to connect.
229 - implement exti doclet request to request documentation,
230 currently for commands only.
231 - created nickmon extension to monitor nicks.
232 - ix now keeps a copy of the face data while sending, in case the
233 face changes.
234 - do not allocate memory for empty refcnt_bufs.
235 - when faces change, invalidate all clients, not just clients with matching
236 faceset, as faceset only applies to tile resources.
237 - remove dependency on Time::HiRes.
238 - move face data to disk, and load it on each and every access. this saves
239 250mb ram on load, and 130mb ram in general, and only reduces the http
240 server hot cache throughput for faces from ~24000 to ~18000 requests/s
241 on my system. this should make it possible to add a lot more media files
242 in the future, and reduces the memory footprint by the server from 180mb
243 to 60mb ram.
244 - create food/missile will now fail when the mapspace limits are exceeded.
245 - pod processing could deadlock because the child process might try
246 to get a lock.
247 - removed support for ncom packets.
248 - remove drawinfo packets from the server (use msg instead).
249 - skill objects now have their documentation in the msg slot.
250 - no longer allow prefix match when matchign spells, spells names must
251 now be written fully.
252 - avoid a deadlock when the incloader is called to load an in-memory
253 file in a child process.
254 - implement spellmon v2 protocol - no spell message.
255 - remove ability to cats/invoke seplls by "count".
256 - the "may" mechanism now supports uuids ina ddition to nicknames.
257 - implement dm/dmhide in terms of the "may" mechanism, so dm
258 players must now be configured by adding may_command_dm: ["uuid..."]
259 to the config.
260 - remove nowiz command.
261 - change dm hiding - hidden status is no longer respected by spells etc.,
262 it only affects information commands. use observe instead.
263 - automatically send fx for all changed faces, not just for visible tiles.
264 - fix g++-4.7/c++ incompatibilities in noise.h, and work around similar
265 problems in blitz++.
266 - catch sigfpe in the same way as sigsegv.
267

277 - added cf::object::find_object_uuid (::find_object already exists!).
278 - (maps) added new apartment, made by LinuxLemoner.
279 - (maps) added quest for the mining skill scroll to valleynoy.
280 - (maps) added greedy highlevel book shop to heaven town.
281 - (arch) added sounds: zombie death, book reading, inscription.
282 - (arch) made the hill giants loose more body parts.
283 - (arch, maps) added black unicorn horn, required to access mlab hell.
284 - (arch) increased the (possible) number of arrows/bolts found in shops
285 and made them a bit more expensive.
286 - (maps) add more glory hole treasure styles.
287 - (maps, arch) add "hollow" variants of cave\d tiles, and use them
288 in a select number of mlab maps.
289 - (maps) the library should be less of a death trap now.
290 - (maps) exits no longer point to auto-apply exits, most affected
291 maps now have proper doors or a similar solution.
292 - (arch) jumping skill has now physical attacktype.
293 - (maps) fixed nurnberg/reception/fire5 to match new style torches.
294 - enter_map did not normalise the map coordinates when the destination
295 space is blocked, causing badness and freezes for the player.

297 and also allows players to unapply active containers they don't have
298 a key for.
299 - moved formulae, attackmess, artifacts, exp_table, materials and
300 races files to arch, where they belong (exp_table is no longer in
301 confdir but in datadir now!).
302 - jeweler and sound config files are now normal datafiles as well.
303 - quit_character was causing a runtime exception, causing it to not
304 work since 2.93.
305 - entering a map will now respect move_on and other effects,
306 except for auto-apply exits :/
307 - only talk to the items on the nearest mapspace, or, of there
308 are none, to the player, not ALL items in vicinity.
309 - do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item
310 updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power.
311 - diseases could reduce a monsters speed to MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, which
312 caused overflows causing monsters to become living deads.
313 - unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it.
314 - teach the random map generator the ability to read ".rmg" files
315 that specify which actual style map to generate, and use it for
316 the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used.
317 - support (with some limitations) multiple different skills with the
318 same subtype.

320 so nekosan could end up beign saved AND escaped to another map.
321 - show invisible no longer makes magic mouths visible.
322 - move_type changes (spells, skills etc.) now will correctly
323 take move_on/move_off into account (e.g. buttons).
324 - display (exit) or (random map) in client for those objects.

347 - build.ext prevents players from building on other player's maps.
348 - rent.ext allows the dm to enter anytime.
349 - NPC_Dialogue adds a new predefined variable, $map.
350 - new "build" event hook.
351 - get rid of archetype min/max values except max_x (which should go, too).
352 - added fix_generated_item and cf::object::generate to XS interface.
353 - no longer use uppercase identifiers for saving anywhere, but support
354 them on loading, for old playerfiles and maps.
355 - removed is_legal_2ways_exit - this is apparently dead code, and
356 would be handled differently nowadays anyway.

358 - replace move_ob/move_object functiony by the equivalent move method.
359 - update to automake 1.10.

364 - fix lots of path-related buffer overflows in the random map generator.
365 - detect/sense curse/magic will no longer work on items that don't
366 need identify.
367 - added detect mineral vein spell.
368 - support "wall overlays" in the random map generator - not very generic,
369 used by minable veins.
370 - (maps) relocated jeweler town to another directoy.
371 - (arch) implement mining pickaxes and mining skill.
372 - (arch) add missing stonebig_club archetype from cfextended.
373 - jeweler skill doesn't diminish input values anymore.
374 - jeweler skill is harder to level now, but in exchange item power
375 of the output is only 1/5th (instead of 1/3rd) of ring level.
376 - jeweler skill adds the makers name (currently not visible) to the
377 generated ring/amulet.
378 - generate most constants for perl automatically.
379 - properly check for weapon name prefix ("Ragnarok's sword").
380 - when player dies, restore his food to at least 200.
381 - support multiple inheritance for arch sources (inherit a,b,c).
382 - switch to storable-n-format for facedata, for better interoperability.
383 - implement generic "ranged" item framework (pickaxe, fishing rod).
384 - the singing skill actually respects the direction now.

389 - move mark, run, run_stop, fire and fire_stop commands back from
390 perl to C++, for speed reasons (basically undo patchset 1304).
391 - add a client_destroy event, so we don't have to hook the
392 attachable destroy event (which is called much more often).
393 - removed (unused) FLOOR object type.
394 - fix erroneous change_abil messages for rods (and other types).
395 - remove include/commands.h and server/c_new.C, and refactor

397 - save and restore combat/ranged/current slot for players.
398 - the server now batches item's face/fx commands, as opposed
399 to sending one fx per item - helps mostly at connect and
400 with floorbox updates.
401 - implemented ext::player_env::play_music_once $who->contr, "km/...".
402 - the random map generator now supports selecting difficult for
403 more style categories than just monsters (all except fountains
404 apparently).
405 - object serialiser no longer creates empty "owner" references.
406 - make sure failed castings take some time, too, to avoid being
407 smitten by your god.
408 - many more failmsgs and help texts.
