Crossfire TRT Server, Maps and Archetypes ChangeLog

2.1
	- complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system:
          there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged
          attacks.
        - introduce the concept of a current weapon (either a ranged
          or a combat weapon/skill/tool) and switch between them as
          needed.
        - rewrite bow code so bows get more useful: apply damage,
          attacktype and other stats to the arrows and treat
          bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill
          so its damage increases with level.
        - rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now
          works as documented and there are no unnatural speed boosts.
        - implement a utility - cfutil - that simplifies arch and map
          installation, replacing the old collect scripts and
          simplying deployment by scaling and cutting faces as required.
        - simplify the map protocol extensively by taking advantage
          of missing bigfaces, speeding up map generation immensely.
        - implement inherit keyword allowing archetypes to inherit from
          other archetypes.
        - rationalise archetype, region and treasurelist file format
          into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously.
        - make the worldmap, facedata (smoothing, faces, magicmap)
          reloadable at runtime.
	- implement 64x64 faceset support.
        - implement fxixsx protocol that saves
          a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets
          and allows images > packetsize, incremental and background
          transfers.
        - implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works
          on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis.
        - the server can now rate-limit image uploads to not exceed
          a certain (client-configurable) speed while guarenteeing full
          freedom of movement.
        - implement new ex command to request item descriptions.
        - implement new msg command for in-game messages with meta
          information (using xml).
        - enforce utf-8 for all text messages.
        - many, many bugfixes.

2.0  Tue Mar  6 15:22:53 CET 2007
	- make coroapi accessible to cf+.
	- moved map handling logic completely to perl
	- per player maps are now marked in the map
	- maps are saved completely differently now,
          and much more often.
	- rewrote map header parser and writer
	- maps and players are now (in the average case) loaded
          and saved completely asynchronously, I/O contention will no
          longer freeze the server.
	- players and maps can be loaded anytime, without the player
          being logged in.
	- automatically generate method interfaces for perl from headers
	- unbundled freezethaw
	- mostly rewrote common/map.C
	- completely rewrite server/swap.C
	- introduced "runtime", the CCT clock (corrected crossfire time) :)
	- introduced new keyword for map files: file_format_version (integer, server version: 0)
	- better message for apply failures due to applymode
	- removed most all of the weather code
	- unified logging to stderr and file
	- too many minor changes to document
