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.

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.
195 - no longer allow prefix match when matchign spells, spells names must
196 now be written fully.
197 - avoid a deadlock when the incloader is called to load an in-memory
198 file in a child process.
199 - implement spellmon v2 protocol - no spell message.
200 - remove ability to cats/invoke seplls by "count".
201 - the "may" mechanism now supports uuids ina ddition to nicknames.
202 - implement dm/dmhide in terms of the "may" mechanism, so dm
203 players must now be configured by adding may_command_dm: ["uuid..."]
204 to the config.
205 - remove nowiz command.
206 - change dm hiding - hidden statis is no longer respected by spells etc.,
207 it only affects information commands. use observe instead.

228 - (maps, arch) add "hollow" variants of cave\d tiles, and use them
229 in a select number of mlab maps.
230 - (maps) the library should be less of a death trap now.

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

238 and also allows players to unapply active containers they don't have
239 a key for.

244 - quit_character was causing a runtime exception, causing it to not
245 work since 2.93.

248 - only talk to the items on the nearest mapspace, or, of there
249 are none, to the player, not ALL items in vicinity.
250 - do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item
251 updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power.
252 - diseases could reduce a monsters speed to MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, which
253 caused overflows causing monsters to become living deads.
254 - unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it.
255 - teach the random map generator the ability to read ".rmg" files
256 that specify which actual style map to generate, and use it for
257 the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used.
258 - support (with some limitations) multiple different skills with the
259 same subtype.

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

297 would be handled differently nowadays anyway.
298 - random map .meta were not being expired at all.
299 - replace move_ob/move_object functiony by the equivalent move method.
300 - update to automake 1.10.

306 - detect/sense curse/magic will no longer work on items that don't
307 need identify.
308 - added detect mineral vein spell.
309 - support "wall overlays" in the random map generator - not very generic,
310 used by minable veins.
311 - (maps) relocated jeweler town to another directoy.
312 - (arch) implement mining pickaxes and mining skill.
313 - (arch) add missing stonebig_club archetype from cfextended.
314 - jeweler skill doesn't diminish input values anymore.
315 - jeweler skill is harder to level now, but in exchange item power
316 of the output is only 1/5th (instead of 1/3rd) of ring level.
317 - jeweler skill adds the makers name (currently not visible) to the
318 generated ring/amulet.

340 to sending one fx per item - helps mostly at connect and
341 with floorbox updates.
342 - implemented ext::player_env::play_music_once $who->contr, "km/...".
343 - the random map generator now supports selecting difficult for
344 more style categories than just monsters (all except fountains
345 apparently).
346 - object serialiser no longer creates empty "owner" references.

414 - (maps) fix travel to valdor and back.
415 - do no longer by default eval map cod ein safe compartments
416 (this can be re-enabled using the safe_eval config option).
417 - (maps) fix an apparent crash bug caused by broken generstors
418 in lorak.

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

481 much grief.
482 - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken.
483 - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit

494 set the material when the materialname was not set before.
495 - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead
496 of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution,
497 but still.

499 the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple
500 repeat-cache for speed_left.

502 next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take.

533 enourmous speed gains.
534 - make some small optimisation to the process_objects loop.
535 - move facedata chksum calculation into cfutil, make server more flexible
536 handling different chksum lengths.
537 - check for hash collisions in cfutil.
538 - reduce face checksum size from 6 to 4 bytes.

546 anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer.
547 - code cleanup in move_symptom.
548 - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()).
549

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