55 - rework the random map parameter passign a bit to be extendable.

103 coordinates and introduce z-layers - deliantra is now 3d, in yet another
104 sense.
105 - move "the worldmap" to ext/map-world-classic.ext and make ext/map-world.ext
106 handle generic "world map areas".
107 - dropped micrpather again - we'll do our own implementation when we need it.
108 - added is_quad flag.
109 - (arch) added quad archetypes.
110 - made the pickaxe mining tool remove quad walls and floors.
111 - move key_values into their own class, simplifiying lots of code and
112 making it possible to use kv pairs easily for maps and other objects as well.

130 - (maps) added quest for the mining skill scroll to valleynoy.
131 - (maps) added greedy highlevel book shop to heaven town.
132 - (arch) added sounds: zombie death, book reading, inscription.

138 - (maps, arch) add "hollow" variants of cave\d tiles, and use them
139 in a select number of mlab maps.
140 - (maps) the library should be less of a death trap now.
141 - (maps) exits no longer point to auto-apply exits, most affected
142 maps now have proper doors or a similar solution.
143 - (arch) jumping skill has now physical attacktype.
144 - (maps) fixed nurnberg/reception/fire5 to match new style torches.
145 - enter_map did not normalise the map coordinates when the destination
146 space is blocked, causing badness and freezes for the player.

148 and also allows players to unapply active containers they don't have
149 a key for.
150 - moved formulae, attackmess, artifacts, exp_table, materials and
151 races files to arch, where they belong (exp_table is no longer in
152 confdir but in datadir now!).

154 - quit_character was causing a runtime exception, causing it to not
155 work since 2.93.

157 except for auto-apply exits :/
158 - only talk to the items on the nearest mapspace, or, of there
159 are none, to the player, not ALL items in vicinity.
160 - do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item
161 updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power.

164 - unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it.

166 that specify which actual style map to generate, and use it for
167 the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used.
168 - support (with some limitations) multiple different skills with the
169 same subtype.

171 so nekosan could end up beign saved AND escaped to another map.
172 - show invisible no longer makes magic mouths visible.

174 take move_on/move_off into account (e.g. buttons).
175 - display (exit) or (random map) in client for those objects.

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

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

216 - detect/sense curse/magic will no longer work on items that don't
217 need identify.
218 - added detect mineral vein spell.

228 generated ring/amulet.

253 - the random map generator now supports selecting difficult for
254 more style categories than just monsters (all except fountains

333 - (arch) considerably decrease slag ex price.
334 - (arch) fix filth archetype.

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

387 - TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a
388 real player object on player changes.
389 - diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed
390 to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing
391 much grief.
392 - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken.
393 - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit
394 of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other

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

461 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
462 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
463 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
464 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
465 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
466 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations

486 - (maps, arch) add all changes to mlab between 2006-08-01 and 2009-10-28,
487 and most archetypes that go with them (without stoning and swallow effects),
488 casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing.
489 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
490 and santo dominion.
491 - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes

507 - (maps) bigchests are now properly non-unique, per_player and no_reset.
508 - editor_folder can now be used to override whatever cfutil sets, and was
509 used to reogianise the illogical arch tree a bit.
510 - (maps) import most map names from crossfire.
511 - nuke image_sums/image_info subcommands from the protocol.
512 - fly_high movement gives better los, ignoring blocksview.

543 - reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member.
544 - removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage

547 - the server will no longer complain (and subtly fail) when an object
548 being removed from a map causes another object to get removed.

567 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,
568 but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators).
569 - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags
570 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where
571 and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this
572 allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to
573 walk on.

612 - fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation
613 that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :)
614 - split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix
615 all callers to use either one or the other, as appropriate. This
616 fixes the (rather fragile) light spell, maybe others.

618 - fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery'

789 speedup, as well as in many other places.
