- set map before parsing an object, add_button_link requires this
  completely bogus idiotic design bug.
- document speed hack by elmex :)

hell on earth, rewrote the container code
- it really was a mess before
- open/close events should now be very reliable.
- make container an object_ptr, just to be on the safe side
  (the old code is known to crash, the new code should be reliable, but...).
- its also smaller, much smaller/clearer in sourcecode size and a bit
  smaller in text segment size.

also disable big worldmap again: is this still causing memleaks?

more materialcode changes in preparation for... oh my god this is material framework is broken

replace amny strcpy by checked assign's

- implement per-space regions

- avoid negative event priorities like the plague. they are actually
  worse because they introduce random memory corruption and endless
  loops and worse, if worse exists.
- aggressively swap out maps when #actives exceeds threshold
- sweep and cede after server tick
- increase player command handling priorities, just in case.
- fix a bug in mortal checking, this was the reason for the
  enourmous memory leaks in map-world.ext
- mark c++-side watchers as non-reentrant

- rename Animations => animation
- rename New_Face => facetile
- add but do not implement some generic loader framework classes

minor stuff

implement new flag_no_save to avoid saving

- disabled stuff that might cause instabilities at the cost of certain
  (controlled) additional memory usage.
- minor changes to improve the stability,

""

- new untested set_flag_inv method to change a flag on all inv objects
- do ot satop running when switching maps
- fixed speed_left assymentry in handle_newcs_player
- do not immediately handle running commands when calling handle_command,
  as it could have deactivated the object.

different interface design for c++/perl map handling, some random map framework

*** empty log message ***

preliminary snapshot check-in, DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
See the Changes file for details

- added maptile->insert and object->insert_at methods that might
  make code using it clearer.
- replaced some insert_ob_in_map calls.

formatting

- implement (mostly untested) array member support for genacc
- make some arrays and other members available to perl
- redefined meaning of NUM_FLAGS (really meaning number of flags now,
  as the code assumed anyway).
- moved afk flag to client, where it belongs (make sno sense to save it,
  is also true for wiz &c).
- updated extensions to reflect all that (Jewler.pm should be tested w.r.t.
  resistances)

remove object_pod/object_keep hacks

fixed the building bug that broke walls after building. a hacky method
for flags copying was used and is now replaced with the proper one.

- reduce map memory consumption by reserving space for only the 3 existing layers
- factorise out some functions into mapspace and object

goofing around in vain, trying to find a generalisation for esrv*item

ooification

I goofed.

started simplifying network code

further cleanups and oofication

- more ooficiation
- removed now superfluous remove calls

- implement and modernize op->insert and op->remove
- simplify find_hth_skill to always use first found
- change change_skill to move recently used skills to top of inventory

added uuid accessors for perl.

more now invalid tag_t uses replaced by refcounting. reduced codesize quite a bit.

add mapcell flags support and define #0 to be has_dialogue

replace was_destroyed by much simpler and less expensive ->destroyed,
which is valid, as objetc pointers are now reliable.

presuppose iso c++0x

aggressively use refcounted pointers for object references - seems to fix all random stomping. also reduced size of object further from originally 656 to 624 bytes

- improve assign to prepend "..."
- make more use of assign
- implement op->debug_desc() and make some more use of it

*** empty log message ***

- temporarily disabled shstr garbage collection
- use sint64 instead of uint64 in shop code
- implement fully recursive item iterator for object
- add some utility functions

indent

remaining bugfixes

fix a few ugly pod-constructs on non-pod objects, and a few newly introduced bugs

archt => archetype

major map loading speedups

string scanning (e.g. for patch) is not implemented ATM but should be easy
to add with an alternative constructor for object_thawer.

Rewrote flex scanner to be simpler, faster and more modularised.

Initial speedup: 16%

(ah well)

THIS CODE WILL NOT COMPILE
use the STABLE tag instead.

- major changes in object lifetime and memory management
- replaced manual refcounting by shstr class
- removed quest system
- many optimisations
- major changes

*** empty log message ***

- added ready/unready/can_apply events and their passive versions
- removed support for event_*-fields in maps
- removed support for current_weapon_script
- removed timers
- removed say/shout/Tell and related commands

fixes, objects on maps get instantiated properly

intermediate check-in, per-object events work

converted more events, broken per-object events (needs map support), lots of fixes
