+TODO: picking up the torches in nimbus seemingly works, but after
       a while (used up?) they seem to be gone from the inv but the client doesn't know about that.
 TODO: dragons should not be able to change their title via the settings tab in playerbook
 
+	- properly link against libgthread as that is needed to make the slice
+          allocator thread-safe.
+	- support perls not compiled with 64 bit support (though this is not a
+          recommended configuration) (reported by Samuel Gondouin).
+        - match archetypes by name, not by ptr, in treasure.C, this makes archetypes
+          finally reloadable at runtime.
+        - always put godgiven items into the player inventory, never any containers.
+        - changed archetype loading algorithm to only require one pass and
+          use delayed resolving of references.
+        - implement an "incremental garbage collector" for archetypes.
+        - (maps, arch) the scorn go club was founded!
+        - (arch) do no longer support player abilities, they didn't work anyways.
+        - (arch) the alchemy spell is now of the alchemy spell school.
+        - enable slice allocator again.
+        - implement optional free memory poisoning.
+
+2.5  Wed Apr 16 15:06:53 CEST 2008
+	- the two handed weapon skill can no longer be used as unarmed combat
+          skill.
+	- append [drop xxx coins] to altar/trigger_altar/identify_table/converter
+          names (also update all maps to use money instead of coins).
+        - add uuid accessors to perl.
+        - add coin names and archetype accessors to perl.
+        - fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",".
+        - change perl extensions to not use hardcoded coins and values.
+        - write uuids asynchronously (no hiccups due to uuid writes)
+          and be more parsimonous of uuid usage by the exact value out on exit.
+        - write log messages in another thread, removing another sync point.
+        - support multi-line log messages in a nicer way.
+        - be more portable w.r.t. uuids and format specifiers everywhere.
+        - fix a minor memleak in the random map generator.
+        - some parts of the random map generator are not coroutine-safe,
+          so only call it "single-threaded".
+        - major cleanup of memory management in random map generator.
+        - slight refactoring of the random map generator, faster too.
+        - solve the "slice_alloc becomes negative" mystery - no allocation bug,
+          bookkeeping bug.
+        - work around "player is on active list" problem by deactivating player
+          after loading.
+        - garbage collect shstr's more evenly and adaptively only when
+          there have in fact been allocations.
+        - fix object::insert to do as documented and insert into the env
+          if necessary.
+        - fix cf::map::unique_maps.
+        - fix nrof overflow check in can_merge_slow.
+        - fix converter code to handle >31 bit values.
+        - added support for the player_sold flag
+        - converters no longer accept unpaid items.
+        - canonicalize random map meta files for better unification.
+
+2.43 Sun Apr  6 20:35:29 CEST 2008
+        - work around a glibc bug that causes calloc to return non-zero memory
+          when mlockall has been used.
+	- pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls.
+        - use separate thread for ticker timing (and more in the future).
+          this greatly increases timing accuracy and gets rid of an enourmous
+          number of gettimeofday calls.
+        - use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency.
+        - require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API.
+
+2.42 Sat Mar 15 12:05:21 CET 2008
+	- rebalanced default experience table to be more exponential
+          and much easier up to level ~40, then moderately harder.
         - change attuned/repelled level boni to +-8 from +-2.
 	- use SvUPGRADE to avoid exception in sv_upgrade with perl 5.10.
 	- do not exit on reload/load errors but properly cleanup.
-	- fix a 32 bit uncleanlieness in the slice debugging wrapper.
+	- fix a 32 bit uncleanlyness in the slice debugging wrapper.
 
 2.41 Fri Jan 25 13:15:37 CET 2008
 	- get rid of YAML::Syck, it's too buggy and misparses many files
