59 - (maps, arch) add "hollow" variants of cave\d tiles, and use them
60 in a select number of mlab maps.
61 - (maps) the library should be less of a death trap now.
62 - (maps) exits no longer point to auto-apply exits, most affected
63 maps now have proper doors or a similar solution.
64 - (arch) jumping skill has now physical attacktype.
65 - (maps) fixed nurnberg/reception/fire5 to match new style torches.
66 - enter_map did not normalise the map coordinates when the destination

68 - when applying containers, server checks for the key on activate
69 and also allows players to unapply active containers they don't have
70 a key for.
71 - moved formulae, attackmess, artifacts, exp_table, materials and
72 races files to arch, where they belong (exp_table is no longer in
73 confdir but in datadir now!).

75 - quit_character was causing a runtime exception, causing it to not
76 work since 2.93.
77 - entering a map will now respect move_on and other effects,
78 except for auto-apply exits :/
79 - only talk to the items on the nearest mapspace, or, of there
80 are none, to the player, not ALL items in vicinity.
81 - do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item
82 updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power.
83 - diseases could reduce a monsters speed to MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, which
84 caused overflows causing monsters to become living deads.
85 - unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it.
86 - teach the random map generator the ability to read ".rmg" files
87 that specify which actual style map to generate, and use it for
88 the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used.
89 - support (with some limitations) multiple different skills with the
90 same subtype.
91 - fix "nekosan duplication" bug - map swap out was not atomic,
92 so nekosan could end up beign saved AND escaped to another map.
93 - show invisible no longer makes magic mouths visible.
94 - move_type changes (spells, skills etc.) now will correctly
95 take move_on/move_off into account (e.g. buttons).
96 - display (exit) or (random map) in client for those objects.
97 - removed (useless) spell damage columns from spell info and replace
98 it by effective casting level - clients > 2.10 required to display

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

108 changes.
109 - (maps) fix some map regions and the region tree.
110 - the server will now be more picky when parsing the regions file.

125 - no longer use uppercase identifiers for saving anywhere, but support
126 them on loading, for old playerfiles and maps.
127 - removed is_legal_2ways_exit - this is apparently dead code, and
128 would be handled differently nowadays anyway.

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

137 - detect/sense curse/magic will no longer work on items that don't
138 need identify.
139 - added detect mineral vein spell.

248 - (maps) fix an apparent crash bug caused by broken generstors
249 in lorak.
250 - fix data corruption issues caused by recursive calls to
251 unordered_mapwalk - now every caller must provide its own
252 buffer.
253 - (maps) improve tindervale maps slightly.
254 - (arch) considerably decrease slag ex price.
255 - (arch) fix filth archetype.
256 - extension dependency resolve was completely broken.

261 - extended the safe perl environment by loops.
262 - (arch) fix "armless cook" facings.

281 timestamp and use a tab in the client to increase awareness.
282 - npc dialog setflag/setsatte now check for defined'ness, so
283 setflag 0 is possible.

304 imperial converters for anybody to use.
305 - (maps, arch) replace all permanent stat potions by random

308 - TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a
309 real player object on player changes.
310 - diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed
311 to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing
312 much grief.
313 - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken.
314 - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit
315 of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other
316 things, this gets rid of all the abs (speed) calls.
317 - reduce map file save files by using abridged keywords aliases.
318 - shop specialisation calculation was totally broken.

324 - materialnames would change "randomly" on every load, only
325 set the material when the materialname was not set before.
326 - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead
327 of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution,
328 but still.
329 - reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding
330 the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple
331 repeat-cache for speed_left.
332 - always delay stats update for players on insert/remove till
333 next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take.
334 - add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs.

345 - optimise mapspace updates.
346 - cache volume/items per mapspace.
347 - use fabs, min and max consistently (surprisingly for a code size
348 decrease).

361 - added lock/unlock commands, thanks for the patch go to Shawn Robinson!
362 - (arch, maps) introduce inactive_shop_floor and fix some shops with it.
363 - try to prefetch memory inside process_objects, which can give
364 enourmous speed gains.

366 - move facedata chksum calculation into cfutil, make server more flexible
367 handling different chksum lengths.
368 - check for hash collisions in cfutil.
369 - reduce face checksum size from 6 to 4 bytes.

377 anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer.
378 - code cleanup in move_symptom.
379 - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()).
380
3812.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009
382 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
383 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
384 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
385 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
386 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
387 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations
388 and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing
389 good in mind for free software.
390 - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL.
391 - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files.
392 - implement viewpoint (which is like observe, but only for the map,
393 not stats etc.).
394 - replace magic mapping overlay by a flying bird exposing area
395 on the worldmap (ext/magic_mapping.ext).
396 - @find in npc dialog was useless as the vairbale wasn't accessible.
397 - @find results in npc dialogue is now stored in $find.

399 - (maps, server) add lostwages and celvear apartments to rent system.
400 - (maps) closed guild houses, this is not scalable, ask your friendly
401 dm instead.
402 - (maps) add town portal to celvear.
403 - (maps, arch) add troll canyon, pygmy forest, elven moon and temple of justice
404 mapsets from crossfire, together with associated archetypes.
405 - (maps) add extended region descriptions for some regions from crossfire.
406 - (maps) define a new whalingoutpost region.
407 - (maps, arch) add all changes to mlab between 2006-08-01 and 2009-10-28,
408 and most archetypes that go with them (without stoning and swallow effects),
409 casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing.
410 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
411 and santo dominion.
412 - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes
413 to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch".
414 - doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field.
415 - properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away.
416 - map-tags did not properly close it's database tables or wait
417 for a quiescent state, causing memory corruption on reload.
418 - support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions.
419 - skip /styles and /editor directories in cf::map::static_maps.
