| 28 |
2.56 Wed Jun 4 10:50:40 CEST 2008 |
| 29 |
- require Coro 4.73 which contains an important performance-bugfix. |
| 30 |

| 31 |
- server supports ipv6 client connections now. |
| 32 |
- use newly-available Coro::AnyEvent. |
| 33 |

| 35 |
|
| 36 |
2.55 Sat May 24 19:52:52 CEST 2008 |
| 37 |
- avoid newmap commands when crossing tiled map boundaries. this speeds up |
| 38 |
processing considerably (especially in the client) and reduces data transfers |
| 39 |
(saves roughly 1kb each crossing in typical configs). works even with gcfclient. |
| 40 |
- (arch) fix typo in ixalovh treasurelist causing empty_archetypes to appear. |
| 41 |
- (map) fixed npc dialogue in pup_land/s_f/special. |

| 43 |
(swarm spells now stay in the player's inventory). |
| 44 |
- bugfix: when unapplying skills also remove them from the range/combat slots. |
| 45 |
- bugfix: do not merge items whose archetype name merges, use the |
| 46 |
archetype *archname* (chairs of different facings were merged). |
| 47 |
- bugfix: fix a potential crash issue in find_object_name (not used |
| 48 |
normally). |
| 49 |
- bugfix: locked doors cnanot be bashed down by magical means |
| 50 |
(destruction, magic missile etc.). |
| 51 |
- swarm spells without a direction now use various spiral patterns |
| 52 |
instead of being fully random. |
| 53 |
- update AnyEvent API to 3.4 and above. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
2.54 Thu May 8 22:01:22 CEST 2008 |

| 57 |
stay in sync with the 0.9971 client update which also reverses ordering. |
| 58 |
- bugfix: the jumping skill now gives experience for jumping |
| 59 |
and for attacking monsters. it also takes about one second to do a jump. |
| 60 |
- bugfix: players couldn't starve in 2.53 :( |
| 61 |

| 66 |
(fixed by reversing the logic). |
| 67 |
- bugfix: fixed a mismatched '"' in the debugging description of objects |
| 68 |
- bugfix: the random map generator no longer leaks key objects. |
| 69 |
- bugfix: support random maps >127x127. |
| 70 |

| 74 |
- (arch) fixed material of bones (was 'wood', is now 'bone') |
| 75 |
- support cfpod in ex replies (client item tooltips). |
| 76 |
- unapply item in range slow when readying a spell. |
| 77 |

|
| 121 |
2.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008 |
| 122 |
- completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix |
| 123 |
all "ghost" item bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :) |
| 124 |
- completely automate the weight handling, should fix all weight |
| 125 |
accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :) |
| 126 |
- reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase |
| 127 |
could crash the server. |
| 128 |

| 129 |
to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles |
| 130 |
automatically by lower level code. |
| 131 |
- replace many ad-hoc checks for client visibility by object::visible_to, |
| 132 |
should result in broader applicability of functions using it. |
| 133 |
- merge items with different arch pointers refering to the same arch |
| 134 |
(due to archetype reloads). |
| 135 |
- refactored the object remove/insert functions and most related |
| 136 |
functions (decrease, split, merge_ob etc.). |

| 138 |
- remove GT_UPDATE_INV (no longer applicable). |
| 139 |

| 145 |
|
| 146 |
2.51 Sun Apr 20 21:27:37 CEST 2008 |

| 162 |
use delayed resolving of references. |
| 163 |

2.5 Wed Apr 16 15:06:53 CEST 2008 |
| 169 |

| 170 |
skill. |

| 182 |
- fix a minor memleak in the random map generator. |
| 183 |

- major cleanup of memory management in random map generator. |
| 186 |
- slight refactoring of the random map generator, faster too. |
| 187 |
- solve the "slice_alloc becomes negative" mystery - no allocation bug, |
| 188 |
bookkeeping bug. |
| 189 |
- work around "player is on active list" problem by deactivating player |
| 190 |

when mlockall has been used. |
| 205 |
- pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls. |
| 206 |
- use separate thread for ticker timing (and more in the future). |
| 207 |
this greatly increases timing accuracy and gets rid of an enourmous |
| 208 |
number of gettimeofday calls. |
| 209 |
- use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency. |
| 210 |
- require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API. |

|
| 220 |
2.41 Fri Jan 25 13:15:37 CET 2008 |
| 221 |
- get rid of YAML::Syck, it's too buggy and misparses many files |
| 222 |
(this fixes the jeweler skill). |
| 223 |
- back-to-back perl_reloads don't freeze the ticker anymore. |
| 224 |
- convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...). |
| 225 |
- move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if |
| 226 |
it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as |
| 227 |
proof that the palyer didn't use a savebed). |
| 228 |
|
| 229 |
2.4 Sun Jan 13 13:41:29 CET 2008 |

| 240 |
do not move or kill them. |
| 241 |
- implement client-side settings page in playerbook (0.9963+ required). |
| 242 |

| 243 |
- implement resource file update event. |
| 244 |

| 254 |
- limited the number of items that can be picked up and dropped |
| 255 |
as temporary measurement against bad performance or dropping things |
| 256 |
(this lead to long freezes and triggered the watchdog). |

- improved the performance of the drop command a bit. |
| 258 |
- switch from Event to EV for higher performance, easier usage, |
| 259 |
less bugs... |
| 260 |

| 261 |
|
| 262 |
2.31 Sun Nov 11 17:26:28 CET 2007 |
| 263 |
- more thoroughly rename the binaries, contact addresses. |
| 264 |
- update the copyrights. |
| 265 |
- avoid backtraces due to old spells on some maps, sometimes causing |
| 266 |
crashes. |
| 267 |
- fix a problem where facedata wasn't initialised to zero properly, |
| 268 |
potentially causing crashes. |
| 269 |
- assign weapons on user load time, not login-time, avoiding |
| 270 |
crashes. |
| 271 |
|

- implement *tag destinations for goto, slaying etc. and use it |
| 275 |
in some of the maps. |

| 277 |
which is now trivial to do. |
| 278 |

| 292 |
- implement server-side framework for generic resources. |
| 293 |
- use resource framework for server-provided ambient |
| 294 |
music. |
| 295 |
- save object owners (players only atm). |
| 296 |
- replace limited sound api with server-provided sound effects. |
| 297 |
- new sc (sound control) protocol command. |
| 298 |
- improve fxix protocol to include types. |
| 299 |
- exactly fill tcp segments, if possible. |
| 300 |
- output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically |
| 301 |
(and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring |
| 302 |
low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.). |
| 303 |
- implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled |
| 304 |
in the server side). this will allow future expansion without |
| 305 |
having to upgrade clients. |
| 306 |
- implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position |
| 307 |
tracking. |
| 308 |
- new and more efficient extcmd (server still supports old extcmd |
| 309 |
protocol). |
| 310 |
- fixed lots of underflow/overflow bugs in diseases and general stats |
| 311 |
calcluation that could be easily exploited by users. |
| 312 |
- rebalanced diseases to spread more naturally/evenly. |
| 313 |
- completely asynchronous map loading even for tiled maps. |
| 314 |
- replace simple messaging protocol with channels carrying metadata |
| 315 |
(similar to message types, but more directed at the user). |
| 316 |
- reduce command processing latency by a whopping 120ms by |
| 317 |
reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly |
| 318 |
reduces lag by 120ms. |
| 319 |
- actually send spell faces to the client. |
| 320 |
- implement player genders. |
| 321 |
- unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset, |
| 322 |
otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out |
| 323 |
was for too long. |
| 324 |
- fast socket-dead detection (kick player after 8 seconds without ack). |
| 325 |
- greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_. |
| 326 |
- archetypes are now subclasses of objects. |
| 327 |
- rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic |
| 328 |
(and likely match the actual intention). |
| 329 |
- implement "crossfire pod" format for messages, with working bold, |
| 330 |
italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc. |
| 331 |
- implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints. |
| 332 |
- implemented (long) book framework, added some books from the cf wiki. |
| 333 |
- implement generic message framework that uses xml, utf8 for the client |
| 334 |
protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information. |
| 335 |
- implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps. |
| 336 |
- replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff |
| 337 |
better than the newbie house. |
| 338 |
- fix the magicmap colours. |
| 339 |
- optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
| 340 |
- decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
| 341 |
- implement observe command. |
| 342 |
- major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord |
| 343 |
calls with a simple comparison. |
| 344 |
- fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the |
| 345 |
map refresh did not update the mapspace. |
| 346 |
- support custom keys for regions and maps, regions are now |
| 347 |
refcount-managed. |
| 348 |
- allow worldmap overlays anywhere in the 000..999 range. |
| 349 |
- new system to acquire time slices for background jobs, to reduce |
| 350 |
jitter. |
| 351 |
- semi-persistent object-referencing framework (currently only players |
| 352 |
supported). |
| 353 |
- dependency tracking for perl extensions. |
| 354 |
- new slag-ex extension for cleaning cauldrons. |
| 355 |
- fix invoke result processing. |
| 356 |
- there are even less i/o syncpoints in the server now. |
| 357 |
- added map-tags extension that scans all maps for object tags |
| 358 |
and records them in the database (not used yet). |
| 359 |
- metaserver 2 support. |
| 360 |
- many more bugfixes and minor optimisations. |
| 361 |

- optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be |
| 364 |
skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions). |
| 365 |
- complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal |
| 366 |
to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible |
| 367 |
to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes |
| 368 |
one of the remaining syncpoints in the server). |
| 369 |
- complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: |
| 370 |
there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged |
| 371 |
attacks. |
| 372 |
- introduce the concept of a current weapon (either a ranged |
| 373 |
or a combat weapon/skill/tool) and switch between them as |
| 374 |
needed. |
| 375 |
- rewrite bow code so bows get more useful: apply damage, |
| 376 |
attacktype and other stats to the arrows and treat |
| 377 |
bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill |
| 378 |
so its damage increases with level. |
| 379 |
- rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now |
| 380 |
works as documented and there are no unnatural speed boosts. |
| 381 |
- implement a utility - cfutil - that simplifies arch and map |
| 382 |
installation, replacing the old collect scripts and |
| 383 |
simplying deployment by scaling and cutting faces as required. |
| 384 |
- simplify the map protocol extensively by taking advantage |
| 385 |
of missing bigfaces, speeding up map generation immensely. |
| 386 |
- implement inherit keyword allowing archetypes to inherit from |
| 387 |
other archetypes. |
| 388 |
- rationalise archetype, region and treasurelist file format |
| 389 |
into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously. |
| 390 |
- make the worldmap, facedata (smoothing, faces, magicmap) |
| 391 |
reloadable at runtime. |
| 392 |
- implement 64x64 faceset support. |
| 393 |
- implement fxixsx protocol that saves |
| 394 |
a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets |
| 395 |
and allows images > packetsize, incremental and background |
| 396 |
transfers. |
| 397 |
- implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works |
| 398 |
on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis. |
| 399 |
- the server can now rate-limit image uploads to not exceed |
| 400 |
a certain (client-configurable) speed while guarenteeing full |
| 401 |
freedom of movement. |
| 402 |
- implement new ex command to request item descriptions. |
| 403 |
- implement new msg command for in-game messages with meta |
| 404 |
information (using xml). |
| 405 |
- enforce utf-8 for all text messages. |
| 406 |
- added micropather (not used yet). |
| 407 |
- many, many bugfixes. |
| 408 |

| 409 |
2.0 Tue Mar 6 15:22:53 CET 2007 |
| 410 |
- make coroapi accessible to cf+. |
| 411 |
- moved map handling logic completely to perl |
| 412 |
- per player maps are now marked in the map |
| 413 |
- maps are saved completely differently now, |
| 414 |
and much more often. |
| 415 |
- rewrote map header parser and writer, to be much faster. |
| 416 |
- maps and players are now (in the average case) loaded |
| 417 |
and saved completely asynchronously, I/O contention will no |
| 418 |
longer freeze the server. |
| 419 |
- players and maps can be loaded anytime, without the player |
| 420 |
being logged in. |
| 421 |
- automatically generate method interfaces for perl from headers |
| 422 |
- unbundled freezethaw |
| 423 |
- mostly rewrote common/map.C |
| 424 |
- completely rewrite server/swap.C |
| 425 |
- introduced "runtime", the CCT clock (corrected crossfire time) :) |
| 426 |
- introduced new keyword for map files: file_format_version (integer, server version: 0) |
| 427 |
- better message for apply failures due to applymode |
| 428 |
- removed most all of the weather code |
| 429 |
- unified logging to stderr and file |
| 430 |
- too many minor changes to document |
