69 - applying a glowing crystal now gives status messages.
70 - fix a memleak in the random map generator.
71 - rework the random map parameter passign a bit to be extendable.
72 - (random maps) use a nonrecursive algorithm to generate mazes,
73 also, improve the quality of the mazes (no longer will the edges
74 almost always form a passage) and add two new types - "rooms"
75 and "braided".
76 - (random maps) add new "cave" layout, which is much more ...
77 cave-like.
78 - (random maps) new layout style "castle" that generates straighish,
79 rogue-ish maps.

93 and other fractal algorithms.

116 a generic table/matrix/palette converter to cfutil.
117 - do not endlessly loop when an optional extension cannot be loaded.
118 - remove limits of 000..999 from worldmap coordinates, support negative
119 coordinates and introduce z-layers - deliantra is now 3d, in yet another
120 sense.
121 - move "the worldmap" to ext/map-world-classic.ext and make ext/map-world.ext
122 handle generic "world map areas".
123 - dropped micrpather again - we'll do our own implementation when we need it.
124 - added is_quad flag.
125 - (arch) added quad archetypes.
126 - made the pickaxe mining tool remove quad walls and floors.
127 - move key_values into their own class, simplifiying lots of code and

129 - get rid of get_archetype, finally.
130 - maps no longer get activated when loading, only when a palyer is "near" them.
131 - maps can now be swapped (not loaded), active and inactive, other states
132 have been removed, and the map "intelligently" changes between active/inactive.
133 - new variable $cf::SERVER_TICK, also rename pticks in C++ to server_tick.
134 - remove legacy fly_on/off, flying, walk_on/off and no_pass attributes.
135 - server now enforces width/height matches between tiled maps.
136 - fix some off-by-one bugs that presumably created empty rectangles
137 for unordered map walks - which should not cause any real issues.
138 - increase face hashlen to 5 octets from 4, to avoid a collision.
139 - fix output-rate limiting - min/max now use the first argument for the type,
140 as all other similar macros - might cause other breakage...
141 - cfutil no longer creates split tiles multiple times due to a
142 off-by-one bug in comparing mtimes.
143 - cfutil now supports type: prefix to derive faces from other faces, which
144 is used for all build materials currently.
145 - require imagemagick >= 6.6.
146 - fixed possible crash due to broken initialisation order of shstr and
147 freed_map, thanks go to Jonathan Neuschäfer for spotting this!
148 - fix the brace command.
149 - implement refcnt_buf.
150 - avoid std::string to store facedata, use refcnt_buf instead, for a 20kb
151 codesize decrease. wow.
152 - removed version 1 ext/exti command support.
153 - store meta information in faceinfo->meta unless prepended or empty.
154 - new extension, ota_update, for online updates of the game client.
155 - implement a simpler config value system for extensions that allows
156 config updates without a reload.
157 - fix a segfault in reload_perl due to perl 5.12's gv management changes.
158 - make pick_lock work over map boundaries, and fix a crash while we are
159 at it.
160 - make nekosan more disease-resistant.
161 - new event "infect".
162 - setup protocol packet now supports JSONOBJECT syntax.
163 - implement simple web server, currently to serve facedata for the html5
164 client.
165 - sort faces by name in the server to improve caching locality in clients.
166 - actually prune face checksums (exp_table's checksum was too long).
167 - add skill_info and spell_paths resources to enable caching the info
168 and removing another command.
169 - send completion info to the client.
170 - assume all clients support the deliantra protocol extensions and allow
171 fxix/extcmd and other protocol "extensions" before setup.
172 - implement flash-policy-file server on server socket, to allow flash clients
173 to connect.
174 - implement exti doclet request to request documentation,
175 currently for commands only.
176 - created nickmon extension to monitor nicks.
177 - ix now keeps a copy of the face data while sending, in case the
178 face changes.
179 - do not allocate memory for empty refcnt_bufs.
180 - when faces change, invalidate all clients, not just clients with matching
181 faceset, as faceset only applies to tile resources.
182 - remove dependency on Time::HiRes.
183 - move face data to disk, and load it on each and every access. this saves
184 250mb ram on load, and 130mb ram in general, and only reduces the http
185 server hot cache throughput for faces from ~24000 to ~18000 requests/s
186 on my system. this should make it possible to add a lot more media files
187 in the future, and reduces the memory footprint by the server from 180mb
188 to 60mb ram.
189 - create food/missile will now fail when the mapspace limits are exceeded.
190 - pod processing could deadlock because the child process might try
191 to get a lock.
192 - removed support for ncom packets.
193 - remove drawinfo packets from the server (use msg instead).
194 - skill objects now have their documentation in the msg slot.

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

213 and made them a bit more expensive.
214 - (maps) add more glory hole treasure styles.
215 - (maps, arch) add "hollow" variants of cave\d tiles, and use them
216 in a select number of mlab maps.
217 - (maps) the library should be less of a death trap now.
218 - (maps) exits no longer point to auto-apply exits, most affected
219 maps now have proper doors or a similar solution.

221 - (maps) fixed nurnberg/reception/fire5 to match new style torches.
222 - enter_map did not normalise the map coordinates when the destination
223 space is blocked, causing badness and freezes for the player.

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

231 - quit_character was causing a runtime exception, causing it to not
232 work since 2.93.
233 - entering a map will now respect move_on and other effects,
234 except for auto-apply exits :/
235 - only talk to the items on the nearest mapspace, or, of there
236 are none, to the player, not ALL items in vicinity.
237 - do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item
238 updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power.
239 - diseases could reduce a monsters speed to MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, which
240 caused overflows causing monsters to become living deads.
241 - unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it.
242 - teach the random map generator the ability to read ".rmg" files
243 that specify which actual style map to generate, and use it for
244 the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used.
245 - support (with some limitations) multiple different skills with the
246 same subtype.

248 so nekosan could end up beign saved AND escaped to another map.
249 - show invisible no longer makes magic mouths visible.
250 - move_type changes (spells, skills etc.) now will correctly
251 take move_on/move_off into account (e.g. buttons).

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

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

292 - fix lots of path-related buffer overflows in the random map generator.
293 - detect/sense curse/magic will no longer work on items that don't
294 need identify.
295 - added detect mineral vein spell.
296 - support "wall overlays" in the random map generator - not very generic,
297 used by minable veins.
298 - (maps) relocated jeweler town to another directoy.
299 - (arch) implement mining pickaxes and mining skill.
300 - (arch) add missing stonebig_club archetype from cfextended.
301 - jeweler skill doesn't diminish input values anymore.
302 - jeweler skill is harder to level now, but in exchange item power
303 of the output is only 1/5th (instead of 1/3rd) of ring level.
304 - jeweler skill adds the makers name (currently not visible) to the
305 generated ring/amulet.

316 a command and an unknown_command event.
317 - move mark, run, run_stop, fire and fire_stop commands back from
318 perl to C++, for speed reasons (basically undo patchset 1304).
319 - add a client_destroy event, so we don't have to hook the
320 attachable destroy event (which is called much more often).
321 - removed (unused) FLOOR object type.

325 - save and restore combat/ranged/current slot for players.
326 - the server now batches item's face/fx commands, as opposed
327 to sending one fx per item - helps mostly at connect and
328 with floorbox updates.
329 - implemented ext::player_env::play_music_once $who->contr, "km/...".
330 - the random map generator now supports selecting difficult for
331 more style categories than just monsters (all except fountains
332 apparently).
333 - object serialiser no longer creates empty "owner" references.
334 - make sure failed castings take some time, too, to avoid being
335 smitten by your god.
336 - many more failmsgs and help texts.

349 - rename find_marked_object to ->mark and speed up.
350 - player movers properly destroy themselves when used up, instead
351 of leaking.

410 - (arch) considerably decrease slag ex price.
411 - (arch) fix filth archetype.

416 - do not expect decltype() to be available in gcc 4.4.
417 - extended the safe perl environment by loops.
418 - (arch) fix "armless cook" facings.

486 the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple

566 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
567 and santo dominion.

585 - editor_folder can now be used to override whatever cfutil sets, and was
586 used to reogianise the illogical arch tree a bit.
587 - (maps) import most map names from crossfire.
