2 | |
| 3 | 2.2 |
3 | TODO: picking up the torches in nimbus seemingly works, but after |
|
|
4 | a while (used up?) they seem to be gone from the inv but the client doesn't know about that. |
|
|
5 | TODO: dragons should not be able to change their title via the settings tab in playerbook |
|
|
6 | |
|
|
7 | - properly link against libgthread as that is needed to make the slice |
|
|
8 | allocator thread-safe. |
|
|
9 | - support perls not compiled with 64 bit support (though this is not a |
|
|
10 | recommended configuration) (reported by Samuel Gondouin). |
|
|
11 | - match archetypes by name, not by ptr, in treasure.C, this makes archetypes |
|
|
12 | finally reloadable at runtime. |
|
|
13 | - always put godgiven items into the player inventory, never any containers. |
|
|
14 | - changed archetype loading algorithm to only require one pass and |
|
|
15 | use delayed resolving of references. |
|
|
16 | - implement an "incremental garbage collector" for archetypes. |
|
|
17 | - (maps, arch) the scorn go club was founded! |
|
|
18 | - (arch) do no longer support player abilities, they didn't work anyways. |
|
|
19 | - (arch) the alchemy spell is now of the alchemy spell school. |
|
|
20 | - enable slice allocator again. |
|
|
21 | - implement optional free memory poisoning. |
|
|
22 | |
|
|
23 | 2.5 Wed Apr 16 15:06:53 CEST 2008 |
|
|
24 | - the two handed weapon skill can no longer be used as unarmed combat |
|
|
25 | skill. |
|
|
26 | - append [drop xxx coins] to altar/trigger_altar/identify_table/converter |
|
|
27 | names (also update all maps to use money instead of coins). |
|
|
28 | - add uuid accessors to perl. |
|
|
29 | - add coin names and archetype accessors to perl. |
|
|
30 | - fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",". |
|
|
31 | - change perl extensions to not use hardcoded coins and values. |
|
|
32 | - write uuids asynchronously (no hiccups due to uuid writes) |
|
|
33 | and be more parsimonous of uuid usage by the exact value out on exit. |
|
|
34 | - write log messages in another thread, removing another sync point. |
|
|
35 | - support multi-line log messages in a nicer way. |
|
|
36 | - be more portable w.r.t. uuids and format specifiers everywhere. |
|
|
37 | - fix a minor memleak in the random map generator. |
|
|
38 | - some parts of the random map generator are not coroutine-safe, |
|
|
39 | so only call it "single-threaded". |
|
|
40 | - major cleanup of memory management in random map generator. |
|
|
41 | - slight refactoring of the random map generator, faster too. |
|
|
42 | - solve the "slice_alloc becomes negative" mystery - no allocation bug, |
|
|
43 | bookkeeping bug. |
|
|
44 | - work around "player is on active list" problem by deactivating player |
|
|
45 | after loading. |
|
|
46 | - garbage collect shstr's more evenly and adaptively only when |
|
|
47 | there have in fact been allocations. |
|
|
48 | - fix object::insert to do as documented and insert into the env |
|
|
49 | if necessary. |
|
|
50 | - fix cf::map::unique_maps. |
|
|
51 | - fix nrof overflow check in can_merge_slow. |
|
|
52 | - fix converter code to handle >31 bit values. |
|
|
53 | - added support for the player_sold flag |
|
|
54 | - converters no longer accept unpaid items. |
|
|
55 | - canonicalize random map meta files for better unification. |
|
|
56 | |
|
|
57 | 2.43 Sun Apr 6 20:35:29 CEST 2008 |
|
|
58 | - work around a glibc bug that causes calloc to return non-zero memory |
|
|
59 | when mlockall has been used. |
|
|
60 | - pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls. |
|
|
61 | - use separate thread for ticker timing (and more in the future). |
|
|
62 | this greatly increases timing accuracy and gets rid of an enourmous |
|
|
63 | number of gettimeofday calls. |
|
|
64 | - use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency. |
|
|
65 | - require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API. |
|
|
66 | |
|
|
67 | 2.42 Sat Mar 15 12:05:21 CET 2008 |
|
|
68 | - rebalanced default experience table to be more exponential |
|
|
69 | and much easier up to level ~40, then moderately harder. |
|
|
70 | - change attuned/repelled level boni to +-8 from +-2. |
|
|
71 | - use SvUPGRADE to avoid exception in sv_upgrade with perl 5.10. |
|
|
72 | - do not exit on reload/load errors but properly cleanup. |
|
|
73 | - fix a 32 bit uncleanlyness in the slice debugging wrapper. |
|
|
74 | |
|
|
75 | 2.41 Fri Jan 25 13:15:37 CET 2008 |
|
|
76 | - get rid of YAML::Syck, it's too buggy and misparses many files |
|
|
77 | (this fixes the jeweler skill). |
|
|
78 | - back-to-back perl_reloads don't freeze the ticker anymore. |
|
|
79 | - convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...). |
|
|
80 | - move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if |
|
|
81 | it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as |
|
|
82 | proof that the palyer didn't use a savebed). |
|
|
83 | |
|
|
84 | 2.4 Sun Jan 13 13:41:29 CET 2008 |
|
|
85 | - work around perl bug in configure perl module version check. |
|
|
86 | - fix bug in golem move code that would cause a crash at tiling borders. |
|
|
87 | - fix a freeze bug when looking for an arrow in the inventory. |
|
|
88 | - fix a bug in animate_weapon, causing a crash. |
|
|
89 | - no longer exit when a coroutine throws an exception. |
|
|
90 | - fix a potential double free bug (nicely exploited by g++ 4.2). |
|
|
91 | - fix the "<player> is nuts" message. |
|
|
92 | - fix an exception at logout due to the json_coder being gone. |
|
|
93 | - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API. |
|
|
94 | - when players don't apply a savebed correctly but stand above one, |
|
|
95 | do not move or kill them. |
|
|
96 | - implement client-side settings page in playerbook (0.9963+ required). |
|
|
97 | - implement generic framework for server-side resource files. |
|
|
98 | - implement resource file update event. |
|
|
99 | - hook experience table update into the framework. |
|
|
100 | - move jeweler.yaml to resources (arch/). |
|
|
101 | - switch from Crossfire to Deliantra perl module. |
|
|
102 | - implement json2json arch filter. |
|
|
103 | - implement widget protocol version 2, support for ui templates. |
|
|
104 | - mapinfo is now handled fully asynchronously. |
|
|
105 | - ext/irc: also log irc messages. |
|
|
106 | - ext/schmorplog: write user stat files asynchronously. |
|
|
107 | |
|
|
108 | 2.32 Sun Dec 2 18:11:01 CET 2007 |
|
|
109 | - limited the number of items that can be picked up and dropped |
|
|
110 | as temporary measurement against bad performance or dropping things |
|
|
111 | (this lead to long freezes and triggered the watchdog). |
|
|
112 | - improved the performance of the drop command a bit. |
|
|
113 | - switch from Event to EV for higher performance, easier usage, |
|
|
114 | less bugs... |
|
|
115 | - updated to release version of the gnu affero license. |
|
|
116 | |
|
|
117 | 2.31 Sun Nov 11 17:26:28 CET 2007 |
|
|
118 | - more thoroughly rename the binaries, contact addresses. |
|
|
119 | - update the copyrights. |
|
|
120 | - avoid backtraces due to old spells on some maps, sometimes causing |
|
|
121 | crashes. |
|
|
122 | - fix a problem where facedata wasn't initialised to zero properly, |
|
|
123 | potentially causing crashes. |
|
|
124 | - assign weapons on user load time, not login-time, avoiding |
|
|
125 | crashes. |
|
|
126 | |
|
|
127 | 2.3 Sat Oct 27 11:22:38 CEST 2007 |
|
|
128 | - fixed an important bug that caused passwords to be forgotten. |
|
|
129 | - implement *tag destinations for goto, slaying etc. and use it |
|
|
130 | in some of the maps. |
|
|
131 | - bigworldised many maps (islands as in pupland and aldwulf), |
|
|
132 | which is now trivial to do. |
|
|
133 | - removed all traces of the old (and never working) plug-in interface |
|
|
134 | (70kb code less on amd64). |
|
|
135 | - improve/tune scheduling priorities. |
|
|
136 | - fix some freezing bugs. |
|
|
137 | - fix a memory corruption problem in dynbuf.printf. |
|
|
138 | - use channels for chat and many informational commands. |
|
|
139 | - improved the tutorial. |
|
|
140 | - create missile is now fixed. |

|
|
142 | - jumping skill now works as advertised. |
|

143 | |
|
|
144 | 2.2 Tue Sep 11 15:41:24 CEST 2007 |
|
|

|
146 | - new inscription skill, can only inscribe INSCRIBABLE items. |
|
|
147 | - implement server-side framework for generic resources. |
|
|
148 | - use resource framework for server-provided ambient |
|
|
149 | music. |
|
|
150 | - save object owners (players only atm). |
|
|
151 | - replace limited sound api with server-provided sound effects. |
|
|
152 | - new sc (sound control) protocol command. |
|
|
153 | - improve fxix protocol to include types. |
|
|
154 | - exactly fill tcp segments, if possible. |
|
|
155 | - output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically |
|
|
156 | (and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring |
|
|
157 | low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.). |
|
|
158 | - implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled |
|
|
159 | in the server side). this will allow future expansion without |
|
|
160 | having to upgrade clients. |
|
|
161 | - implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position |
|
|
162 | tracking. |
|
|
163 | - new and more efficient extcmd (server still supports old extcmd |
|
|
164 | protocol). |
|
|
165 | - fixed lots of underflow/overflow bugs in diseases and general stats |
|
|
166 | calcluation that could be easily exploited by users. |
|
|
167 | - rebalanced diseases to spread more naturally/evenly. |
|
|
168 | - completely asynchronous map loading even for tiled maps. |
|
|
169 | - replace simple messaging protocol with channels carrying metadata |
|
|
170 | (similar to message types, but more directed at the user). |
|
|
171 | - reduce command processing latency by a whopping 120ms by |
|
|
172 | reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly |
|
|
173 | reduces lag by 120ms. |
|
|
174 | - actually send spell faces to the client. |
|
|
175 | - implement player genders. |
|
|
176 | - unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset, |
|
|
177 | otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out |
|
|
178 | was for too long. |
|
|
179 | - fast socket-dead detection (kick player after 8 seconds without ack). |
|
|
180 | - greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_. |
|
|
181 | - archetypes are now subclasses of objects. |
|
|
182 | - rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic |
|
|
183 | (and likely match the actual intention). |
|
|
184 | - implement "crossfire pod" format for messages, with working bold, |
|
|
185 | italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc. |
|
|
186 | - implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints. |
|
|
187 | - implemented (long) book framework, added some books from the cf wiki. |
|
|
188 | - implement generic message framework that uses xml, utf8 for the client |
|
|
189 | protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information. |
|
|
190 | - implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps. |
|
|
191 | - replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff |
|
|
192 | better than the newbie house. |
| 4 | - fix the magicmap colours. |
193 | - fix the magicmap colours. |
|
|
194 | - optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
|
|
195 | - decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
|
|
196 | - implement observe command. |
|
|
197 | - major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord |
|
|
198 | calls with a simple comparison. |
|
|
199 | - fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the |
|
|
200 | map refresh did not update the mapspace. |
|
|
201 | - support custom keys for regions and maps, regions are now |
|
|
202 | refcount-managed. |
|
|
203 | - allow worldmap overlays anywhere in the 000..999 range. |
|
|
204 | - new system to acquire time slices for background jobs, to reduce |
|
|
205 | jitter. |
|
|
206 | - semi-persistent object-referencing framework (currently only players |
|
|
207 | supported). |
|
|
208 | - dependency tracking for perl extensions. |
|
|
209 | - new slag-ex extension for cleaning cauldrons. |
|
|
210 | - fix invoke result processing. |
|
|
211 | - there are even less i/o syncpoints in the server now. |
|
|
212 | - added map-tags extension that scans all maps for object tags |
|
|
213 | and records them in the database (not used yet). |
|
|
214 | - metaserver 2 support. |
| 5 | - many bugfixes and minor optimisations. |
215 | - many more bugfixes and minor optimisations. |
