41
42 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,

46
472.80 Tue Sep 15 20:22:31 CEST 2009
48 - fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation
49 that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :)
50 - split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix
51 all callers to use either one or the other, as appropriate. This
52 fixes the (rather fragile) light spell, maybe others.
53 - fixed an overflow and exploit in the bank/payment code.
54 - fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery'
55 to explain the skill a bit more.

57 the real bugs in the archs/maps/objects.
58 - Fixed enabling torches with lighters.
59 - (maps) Added Heaven Town region.
60 - (arch+maps) Fixed & normalized warriors on map
61 /quests/peterm/CTower/Barracks.
62 - fix the light spell (and possibly diseases and other lights).
63 - (arch) The clawing skill didn't have the physical attacktype.
64 - (maps) make the greenway accessible again - this bug was introduced
65 a long time ago, and similar cases are still to be found in the maps.
66 - make the socket_timeout configurable in the code (but not yet for users).
67 - earth wall health bar is now correct.
68
692.79 Tue Jul 28 00:56:36 CEST 2009

71 freeze with IO::AIO anymore due this change.

73 - allow a spell argument for dimension door.
74 - move shop item listing and some otherstuff into the info tab.

79 (by Job Vranish).
80 - added a few party spells (by Job Vranish).
81 - use a common message dynbuf.

99 - (arch+maps) added rate limited converter and adjusted
100 /elmex/mana_fountain.
101 - store arrow->slaying in custom_name, to get rid of the spellarg slot.
102 - reduce size of casting_time, move_status, attack_movement,
103 last_heal and last_sp slots, squeezing some more space out of struct
104 object, also declare expmul as constant 1.0, as it isn't used
105 anywhere.
106

108 - fixed bug in alchemy, where finding the right object for enhancements
109 didn't work.

162 whether the right cauldron is used.
163 - considerably optimise shared string implementation by
164 making its null value a compiletime constant.
165 - use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places,
166 as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently,
167 for lots of code size savings.

190 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when

216 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
217 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
218 of dumbly just clearing los once.
219 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
220 and has a smaller runtime variance.

222 making them actually useful.

224 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
225 speedup, as well as in many other places.

230 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
