16 - attuned/repell and spell base level system reworked.
17 - rewrote skill cache (last_skill_ob) system and usage - might
18 be less erratic now.
19 - refuse to write the uuid file if the uuid is zero
20 (to avoid writing it in early crashes).

27 - fix a disastrous "memleak" where temporary memory allocations
28 would grow out of bounds.
29 - server now writes a pidfile and makes sure its alter ego is killed.
30 - fixed a double-escaping bug in the pod-parser.

41 and data corruption (but apparently was never triggered).
42 - close the $ENV{LOCKUTIL_LOCK_FD} fd if in the env, for lockutil.
43 - make sure Compress::LZF acquires the storable lock, might fix some
44 data corruption bug.
45 - tweak coredumping/monitoring a bit.
46 - completely redid server initialisation to hopefully avoid rare races.

50 - object->map is no longer refcounting.
51 - add FLAG_DEBUG for internal debugging.
52 - add NDI_VERBATIM flag to send_msg.
53 - add perl backtraces to logBacktrace-initiated backtraces.
54 - player->exists is no longer a sync_job.

56 it's own player-scheduler.ext extension.
57
582.7 Sun Sep 7 16:32:03 CEST 2008
59 - require perl 5.10.
60 - make nrof signed, so that code that checks for underflow actually works.
61 - swap player and observed count's on the map when observing.
62 - add (mostly untested) mapspace perl class and accessors.
63 - re-"calibrate" value/weight autopickup to be silver/kg >= pickup*100.
64 - fix a crash in cast_bless (restoration et al.) when no target
65 could be found.
66 - pits now have a configurable "random spread" range and default
67 to a radius of two now.
68 - rewrite pay_player_arch.
69 - use a more stable perl_reload implementation.

71 use our own, safer, clear_package instead.
72 - when asynchronously dumping core, close all file handles to allow
73 the server to restart concurrently.
74 - improve the cfpod parser to generate proper xml from proper cfpod
75 sequences, without double-encoding. it should be faster, too.
76 - the above fixes wrong display of help tetx and many other issues.
77 - use lzf and frag packets for large messages for clients supporting them
78 (0.9976+), use it for long books and other messages.
79 - eradicate listen command and corresponding code.
80 - eradicate logs command.
81 - let the client log into the server log, used for crash backtraces.

1332.55 Sat May 24 19:52:52 CEST 2008
134 - avoid newmap commands when crossing tiled map boundaries. this speeds up

222 accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :)
223 - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase
224 could crash the server.
225 - fix a nontrivial number of cases of code commented similar
226 to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles

248 - always put godgiven items into the player inventory, never any containers.
249 - (maps, arch) the scorn go club was founded!

265 - the two handed weapon skill can no longer be used as unarmed combat
266 skill.

270 - add coin names and archetype accessors to perl.
271 - fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",".
272 - change perl extensions to not use hardcoded coins and values.

277 - be more portable w.r.t. uuids and format specifiers everywhere.
278 - fix a minor memleak in the random map generator.

281 - major cleanup of memory management in random map generator.
282 - slight refactoring of the random map generator, faster too.

300 when mlockall has been used.
301 - pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls.

304 number of gettimeofday calls.
305 - use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency.
306 - require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API.
307
3082.42 Sat Mar 15 12:05:21 CET 2008

320 - convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...).
321 - move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if
322 it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as
323 proof that the palyer didn't use a savebed).
