6TODO: 2008-07-13 00:41:27.8762 BUG: process_events(): removed object is on active list: {cnt:8720978,uuid:<1.37c8d364d>,name:"bomb",flags:[2,11],type:102} 6 - do no longer by default eval map cod ein safe compartments
7TODO: inscription cannot be readied. 7 (this can be re-enabled using the safe_eval config option).
8TODO: random destination transport may bring you tot nürnberg errornously, likely stoneville 8 - (maps) fix an apparent crash bug caused by broken generstors
9TODO: reasy_skill find traps does nto unapply the range slot item (bow) 9 in lorak.
10TODO: schmorp-neko-san force has sped zero but is on active lsit sometimes? 10 - fix data corruption issues caused by recursive calls to
11TODO: worldmaps still get loaded on startup before the gridmap is ready 11 unordered_mapwalk - now every caller must provide its own
12 buffer.
13 - (maps) improve tindervale maps slightly.
14 - (arch) considerably decrease slag ex price.
15 - (arch) fix filth archetype.
16 - extension dependency resolve was completely broken.

18 now acts on the head only.
19 - do not try to connect to an irc server unless explicitly configured.
20 - do not expect decltype() to be available in gcc 4.4.
21 - extended the safe perl environment by loops.
22 - (arch) fix "armless cook" facings.
23 - the "experience table" resource item did not have a proper
24 hash associated with it, so updates could not be detected.

35 - improve the quality of the load-avg calculation.
36 - (maps) fixed quest npc in jeweler dungeon quest.
37 - don't fail to write the runtime file if the temporary already exists.

62 - (maps) add gorokh_final mapset from crossfire.
63 - (maps) block most vault-type mlab locations, open up
64 imperial converters for anybody to use.
65 - (maps, arch) replace all permanent stat potions by random
66 variants.
67 - (maps) spread gorokh demon styles more evenly over 1..100.
68 - TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a
69 real player object on player changes.
70 - diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed
71 to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing
72 much grief.
73 - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken.
74 - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit
75 of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other
76 things, this gets rid of all the abs (speed) calls.
77 - reduce map file save files by using abridged keywords aliases.
78 - shop specialisation calculation was totally broken.
79 - nrof/itemcount/volume limits when dropping to the floor are
80 now enforced.
81 - fix magic mapping, which only worked for inate spell casting.
82 - godgiven items will now be explicitly described as such.
83 - (arch) dded a quiver of bolts.
84 - materialnames would change "randomly" on every load, only
85 set the material when the materialname was not set before.
86 - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead
87 of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution,
88 but still.
89 - reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding
90 the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple
91 repeat-cache for speed_left.
92 - always delay stats update for players on insert/remove till
93 next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take.
94 - add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs.
95 - pet monster level was not displayed correctly in "showpets index".
96 - clean up floating point conversions and many similar nitpicks.
97 - fix hanuk altar.
98 - overhaul material system to be much faster, and having less bugs, but
99 still having a lot of cruft :/.
100 - add marble shop floor.
101 - move gcc specifics to new file include/compiler.h.
102 - unrecognised cfpod directives could cause undefined behaviour.
103 - added boes' marble shop to steinwandstadt.
104 - pad mapspace to power-of two size for speed/codesize/cache gains.
105 - optimise mapspace updates.
106 - cache volume/items per mapspace.
107 - use fabs, min and max consistently (surprisingly for a code size
108 decrease).
109 - fixed a small uncleanlieness in item converters, which might
110 have led to weird item multiplications.
111 - store hash value in shstr, not used by anything, but doesn't use much memory.
112 - fixed crash bug in learn_spell command.
113 - remove all traces of FLAG_NO_FIX_PLAYER.

115 from perl to c++.
116 - implemented least_significand_bit and for_all_bits_sparse_32 utilities
117 and use it in some "inner" loops.
118 - rename flags to attachable_flags to avoid confusion :=).
119 - fixed jeweler experience output to not be floating point.
120 - added lock/unlock commands, thanks for the patch go to Shawn Robinson!
121 - (arch, maps) introduce inactive_shop_floor and fix some shops with it.
122 - try to prefetch memory inside process_objects, which can give
123 enourmous speed gains.
124 - make some small optimisation to the process_objects loop.
125 - move facedata chksum calculation into cfutil, make server more flexible
126 handling different chksum lengths.
127 - check for hash collisions in cfutil.
128 - reduce face checksum size from 6 to 4 bytes.
129 - don't crash when a map uses empty sound/sound_destroy/face.
130 - removed weather-specific attributes.
131 - fixed genkeywords dependency.
132 - do not clear "randomitems" slot for world underlays.
133 - use "sl" as short-hand for speed_left in save-files, just to make them
134 smaller.
135 - in general, don't crash on value-less resource file lines
136 anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer.
137 - code cleanup in move_symptom.
138 - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()).
139
1402.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009
141 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
142 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
143 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
144 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
145 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
146 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations
147 and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing
148 good in mind for free software.
149 - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL.
150 - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files.
151 - implement viewpoint (which is like observe, but only for the map,
152 not stats etc.).
153 - replace magic mapping overlay by a flying bird exposing area
154 on the worldmap (ext/magic_mapping.ext).
155 - @find in npc dialog was useless as the vairbale wasn't accessible.

162 - (maps, arch) add troll canyon, pygmy forest, elven moon and temple of justice
163 mapsets from crossfire, together with associated archetypes.
164 - (maps) add extended region descriptions for some regions from crossfire.
165 - (maps) define a new whalingoutpost region.
166 - (maps, arch) add all changes to mlab between 2006-08-01 and 2009-10-28,
167 and most archetypes that go with them (without stoning and swallow effects),
168 casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing.
169 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
170 and santo dominion.
171 - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes
172 to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch".
173 - doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field.
174 - properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away.
175 - map-tags did not properly close it's database tables or wait
176 for a quiescent state, causing memory corruption on reload.
177 - support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions.
178 - skip /styles and /editor directories in cf::map::static_maps.
179 - implement ->send_big_packet and use it in ext_msg (among other things, this
180 fixes long answers from npc dialogue).
181 - connected magic mouths no longer spill to Log-1, but use the examine tab.
182 - (arch) change marker archetypes to not remove "marker" forces anymore
183 and to not add a "put your code here" force needlessly.
184 - (arch) fix or improve many plurals.
185 - markers do no longer add a force if the slaying field is unset.
186 - sped up search-items implementation, but it's still horrible.
187 - (maps) bigchests are now properly non-unique, per_player and no_reset.
188 - editor_folder can now be used to override whatever cfutil sets, and was
189 used to reogianise the illogical arch tree a bit.
190 - (maps) import most map names from crossfire.
191 - nuke image_sums/image_info subcommands from the protocol.
192 - fly_high movement gives better los, ignoring blocksview.
193 - the addexp command should now honour skill names with spaces.
194 - (arch) add nuke from cfextended to avoid a crash.
195 - (arch) added many more buildable marble floors.
196 - major namespace cleanup: save 45kb by making functions static
197 that were unnecessarily global.

217 - support sub-matches in () inside match expressions, not just conditions.
218 - got rid of motd/rules/news code in C++ part, move motd to it's own tab

222 - create simpler match expression compiles in many common cases.
223 - reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member.
224 - removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage
225 of the new dynbuf::splice function (which gave an unexpected net win
226 in code size...).
227 - the server will no longer complain (and subtly fail) when an object
228 being removed from a map causes another object to get removed.

245
2462.81 Mon Oct 12 20:00:18 CEST 2009
247 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,
248 but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators).
249 - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags
250 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where
251 and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this
252 allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to
253 walk on.
254 - fix an exploit where inscription/marking runes could execute arbitrary code.
255 - examining an object now dumps the serialised object form when the user
256 is a wizard (wizlook).

290
2912.80 Tue Sep 15 20:22:31 CEST 2009
292 - fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation
293 that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :)
294 - split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix
295 all callers to use either one or the other, as appropriate. This
296 fixes the (rather fragile) light spell, maybe others.
297 - fixed an overflow and exploit in the bank/payment code.
298 - fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery'
299 to explain the skill a bit more.

344 /elmex/mana_fountain.
345 - store arrow->slaying in custom_name, to get rid of the spellarg slot.
346 - reduce size of casting_time, move_status, attack_movement,
347 last_heal and last_sp slots, squeezing some more space out of struct

355 effects (w.r.t. put_more) per mapspace, to give the server a chance
356 to survive a hundred deathsheads.

429 - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant
430 of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary
431 shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code.
432 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
433 other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations.
434 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when
435 removed (e.g. for summon fog).
436 - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise:
437 implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player
438 when he/she makes noise.
439 - implement a primitive smell system that monsters can use to track
440 players.
441 - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps.
442 - (arch) new torch graphics.
443 - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider.
444 - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect
445 the guards from being killed by players.
446 - (maps) lots of tweaks in and around scorn.
447 - (maps) use special non-blocksview jungle, mountain and
448 darkforest freely on the worldmap, to get gradual sight obstacles
449 instead of total blackout in those areas.
450 - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore.
451 - add more hints, fix some messages.
452 - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them.
453 - make light additive even within players.
454 - darken xrays effect a bit.
455 - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing
456 objects, not perfect yet.
457 - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow
458 ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset.
459 - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
460 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
461 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
462 of dumbly just clearing los once.
463 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
464 and has a smaller runtime variance.
465 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
466 making them actually useful.
467 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
468 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
469 speedup, as well as in many other places.
470 - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used
471 by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
472 when sending map changes.
473 - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well
474 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
475 - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers.
476 - correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to
477 avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code.
478 - fix volume calculations.
479 - fix cfpod parsing when multiple verbatim blocks were separated by
480 newlines.
481 - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3.
482 - remove old pickup modes.
483 - remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working
484 anyways).
485 - fix a crash when an npc applied a sign.

504 - use circular, not rectangular, viewing area.
505 - use minimum viewing distance of 2 in outdoor maps.
506 - negative glow is stronger than viewing area or lamps.
507 - (arch) new darkness spell face.
