 Finally, after much testing, the die-on-log-out code has been enabled.
 Now, if you disconnect without using a savebed and the map resets and you were
 logged out for too long, you will die. Always use a savebed. On the brighter side,
 the server now supports per-area and per-map background music. Already two hours
 of music are available. For this to work you currently need the CVS version of CFPlus,
 but a general release of CFPlus is to be expected soon.

 Moved Crossfire TRT to a mix of GPL version 3 and Affero
 license. Together with the new sourcecode command, this will avoid the
 danger of Companies or People locking up improvements behind a server.
 As minor changes, the server now supports hint messages and a new
 hintmode command, as well as much better message formatting capabilities.

 The nexus after character creation has been nuked
 and replaced by a tutorial map which was posted on the crossfire
 mailing list long ago (with some changes). Town portal scrolls are
 now available in shops and elsewhere. A non-visible change was
 a rework of the archetype code (keep an eye on weird behaviour and drop
 us a mail if you find anything :-).

+=head2 2007-05-29
 The server maimnboard died and has been replaced. The root
 disk also died and has not been replaced and for various reasons we
 have a shortage of disks in the server now, which leads to crossfire
 freezing sometimes due to I/O starvation on the machine (which is
 doing heavy stuff). This will be rectified ince the replacement disks
 have been installed and crossfire has, once more, its own disk.

+=head2 2007-05-22
 Due to an accident, the main server files have been
 copied to the backup server, overwriting player files, nuking
 most progress in the last day. We are deeply sorry and will
 tar and feather the culprit :(
-=head1 2007-05-20
+=head2 2007-05-20
 Town portal has been changed into a real town portal -
 casting it creates a portal to the nearest town that anybody can
 use, transfering him/her to the nearest town, and back. Town
 portals will last at least 20 minutes.

+=head2 2007-05-13
 Large changes to the range slot, weapon logic and
 attack speed logic have been made. You now have a range slot
 for ranged attacks (shift-direction) and a combat slot for
 direct attacks (run, walk). rotateshoottype togggles between
 the two. Bows are now treated as full weapons, so attacktype,
 damage bonuses and other attributes are applied to your
 arrows now, making bows much more useful.

+=head2 2007-05-11
 A relatively portable GNU/Linux x86 (and amd64) binary
 release of the client has been made. It only relies on glibc-2.3
 and the X libraries.

+=head2 2007-04-17
 The windows binary for CFPlus was wrongly linked against
 msvcr80.dll. This and a few other bugs have been fixed and the
 windows version should work quite fine again.
-=head1 2007-04-16
+=head2 2007-04-16
 Lots of updates: the server now enables facecaching with
 gcfclient remotely; weird monster and trap behaviour (e.g. bloodwell)
 has been fixed; shop inventories sign work again; sanctuary and
 counterwall now no longer remove floortiles and last not least
 archetypes and treasurelists can now be dynamically reloaded without
 freeezing or restarting the server (and of course a lot of other minor
 stuff has been fixed). Enjoy!

 The playershop problem has been identified and fixed as
 a bug in JSON::XS. Also, the new highly-detailed 64x64 faceset
 is now officially online. The CVS version of CFPlus supports the
 64x64 graphics, as well as the new bandwidth-conservative smoothing
 protocol.

 The server harddisk developed problems. Crossfire was
 moved to another disk. Everything could be salvaged except the users

 The sky2 driver that seems to have caused all the recent crashes
 has been replaced by the sk98lin driver which might improve stability.

 The bad news is that the server was down for almost 10 hours
 due to a kernel crash. But the good news is that the very likely cause
 has been identified: the gigabit network card. We will change the
 hardware config to use a different card within the coming days.
-=head1 2007-03-15
+=head2 2007-03-15
 <b>The protocol has changed.</b> The new protocol is still compatible
 with crossfire clients, but image caching is now mandatory. The reason for this change
 was the upcoming introduction of the 64x64 faceset, as well as getting around bugs
 and stupidities in cf/gcfclient/2's image handling. Make sure you have image caching enabled
 (you need to reconnect after changing it).
-=head1 2007-03-06
+=head2 2007-03-06
 Lots of work has been done on the instability issues.

 <b>The main server crashed with a hardware
 problem. Crossfire was moved to the backup server without any
 problems. Unfortunately, when the main server came back some
 helpful soul started the backup process again, which in turn backed
 up the (outdated) playerfiles from the main server to the backup
 server running crossfire. This had the effect of replacing all
 player data with the version just before the crash, so up to ~20
 hours of gameplay might be lost.</b>
-=head1 2007-02-03
+=head2 2007-02-03
 <b>A rather serious bug in Debian GNU/Linux caused serious
 filesystem corruption on the server, which we are still in the process
 of repairing. The player data will be restored to the last 15-minute backup
 at 01:28 UTC, which hopefully was before the corruption. If you experience
 any data loss, please contact the dms at crossfire@schmorp.de.</b>

 The landbridge to the continent south to the navar
 continent has been removed an replaced by a ship from navar (it's the
 ship to 'Valleynoy').  The jeweler skill has also been completed a
 bit more and a quest is being build (but not completed yet) on the
 continent south to the navar continent to guide players through the
 new jeweler skill.

+=head2 2007-01-29
 A number of balancing changes have been applied: charm
 and other mood change spells only affect visible spaces now (unlike
 oratory and singing). Scorn is high-security area now, and parts of
 scorn near the central marketplace do no longer allow pets either.
 There also was an attempt to fix the face breakage which was introduced
 some weeks ago. If you still have broken faces you should contact the DMs
 or better send a mail to <tt>crossfire@schmorp.de</tt>.

 The server had a half-catastrohpic hardware fault (a faulty disk
 that stopped working some time ago now took the complete system down), but
 the server could be restarted with no loss of data.

 It was discovered that the lone town apartments for some
 players seem not to work correctly. Either they are reset when they enter or
 items seem to vanish from it when leaving it. If you have this problem please
 contact the administrators at <tt>crossfire@schmorp.de</tt>. The maps can be
 recovered from a backup when the problem is fixed (which might take some days).

 any stats while that upgrade please contact us at <tt>crossfire@schmorp.de</tt>.
-=head1 2007-01-03
+=head2 2007-01-03
 This evenings restart introduces some bugfixes, along 2 map bugs
 and wrongly set treasurelists running into exits was fixed (which teleported
 the player sometimes to the center of scorn). Summoned monsters don't drop
 stuff anymore now. Smoothing has been fixed. Artifacts have correct faces again
 now.
-=head1 2007-01-02
+=head2 2007-01-02
 The big rewrite is mostly finished and the server got a major upgrade.
 Unfortunately the savebeds had to be reset, that means that you won't wake up
 in your savebeds but in the center of scorn. Please re-apply your favorite bed
 to reality.
 The main change was a complete rewrite of the map handling in the server.
 Maps are now loaded and handled by Perl and are loaded asynchronous now,
 the player will be placed on a link map (named '{link}') while waiting for the
 new map to load. Real per-player maps are also possible now.
-=head1 2006-12-25
+=head2 2006-12-25
 There is a big internal rewrite in work. The server is currently
 unstable and might show strange behaviour at the moment. <b>Please be patient
 and report problems or feedback to <tt>crossfire@schmorp.de</tt></b>.
-=head1 2006-12-22
+=head2 2006-12-22
 There has been a bug in the building system (player
 buildable maps) which will remain until the server has been restarted
 (which will be announced here). The bug made buildable walls
 unbuildable after builing next to them. If you have a unremovable wall
 in your apartment please notify the DMs about them to get them fixed.
-=head1 2006-12-18
+=head2 2006-12-18
 The network code has been rewritten from the ground up. The new code
 handles network I/O asynchronously and can handle multiple user commands per tick.
 As a side effect, the server will not allow you to queue more than five seconds worth
 of commands, meanign you can never freeze yourself for longer than five seconds by
 issuing too many commands in a row. Also, random maps will now be correctly saved
 and restored on server restarts, making restarts just a matter of having to log-in again.
-=head1 2006-12-14
+=head2 2006-12-14
 The random weapons have been removed from chests and replaced by
 wealth (like gems and money). Together with the weapon shop updates it makes
 weapon shops way more useful/interesting.
 There also have been added blood puddles to some low level
 and the <a href="http://cfmaps.schmorp.de/world-overlay/">overlay maps</a>.
 Last not least, the login should be much faster now.
 Non (user)visible changes have been: code cleanup, bugfixes and rewrites done by schmorp.
 And we are on <a href="http://www.happypenguin.org/show?CFPlus%20-%20Crossfire%2B%20MORPG%20Client">The Linux Game Tome</a> now!
-=head1 2006-12-12
+=head2 2006-12-12
 Updates shops in scorn, port joseph, stoneville, santo dominion,
 navar, wolfsburg and azumaundo to have a higher difficulty, also, implemented
 better weapons to be sold in shops, according to their difficulty. This should
 offer players more choice.
-=head1 2006-12-06
+=head2 2006-12-06
 Simplify finding a hand-to-hand skill on attacks by using the most
 recently used skill, allowing users to select their preferred hth skill easily.
 Also, learning spells is now possible with lower literacy skill than before,
 for high level skills (before that change it was virtually impossible to learn
 high level spells).
-=head1 2006-12-03
+=head2 2006-12-03
 We increased the required level of Meteor Swarm to 60 because
 we agreed that level 12 is way too low for a spell as powerful as that.
 We are planning on lifting the levels for other spells as well. This will
 be reported on the website. Also, the new flesh pickup mode is available
 and a crash bug has been workarounded.

 <b>And another CFPlus bugfix release look on the <a href="client.html">download page</a>!</b>

+=head2 2006-11-20
 Due to schmorp'S foolishness, we encountered an unplanned
 one-hour downtime today. Doh.  Also, the random ride to Nurnberg was
 not working, trapping players in dragon hangars.  Fixed, thanks to
 Nioreh who reported it.
-=head1 2006-11-19
+=head2 2006-11-19
 A serious exploit in the trade shop has been fixed today, where the sellers
 account were increased even if the buyer wasn't able to pay for the item. Also, recent logins
 was fixed, as it didn't show players with a fractional log-out time. Party say's are now
 shown in green instead of in white and are unique messages.
-=head1 2006-11-08
+=head2 2006-11-08
 A new client version has been released. This mostly
 fixes a long-standing off-by one but for the map view, resulting
 in misdirected clicks and some monster ghosting. Also, the test
 server now allows the commands <b>wizlook</b>, <b>reset</b> and
 <b>teleport</b> (in addition to wizcast, wizpass and goto) for all
 players, which should greatly help to test maps.
-=head1 2006-11-04
+=head2 2006-11-04
 We repaired the <a href="recent.html">recent login page</a>!
 And on the upper right the count of online players is displayed.

 Preview of test server now ready. It runs as cftest.schmorp.de, port 24 (cftest.schmorp.de:24) and allows
 the use of goto, wizcast and wizpass for all users (more to come). Maps can be freely <a href="/upload">uploaded</a>.
 The test server has the same users and maps as the normal user, and will be reset every 3 hours.

 The apartment rent has now been enabled for all known apartments. The
 one-time entrance fee for new apartments has been lowered considerably. Please
 note that stopping to rent an apartment will not currently clear its contents it, but
 will do so in the near future, so do not rely on it. And another <b>client release</b>, look
 on the <a href="client.html">download page</a>!
-=head1 2006-09-18
+=head2 2006-09-18
 The new apartment shop (and renting system) is now in place
 for the scorn apartment only. You will not be able to enter until you
 go to The Apartment shop in scorn and rent the "skorn" apartment.
 Your existing map stays as you are, no items will be lost. If you are puzzled somehow, look at the
 chatlog in the <a href="faq.html">FAQ</a>, which might answer some of your questions.
-=head1 2006-09-15

 We replaced the RAM and HDD today. Hardware failures are hopefully
 a story of the past now.
-=head1 2006-09-10
+=head2 2006-09-10
 After lots of frustrating crashes and playtesting we identified the
 remaining corruption-causing code that wasn't following C++ rules and fixed it.
 So far, the new server seeems stable. As an added benefit, the command documentation
 for the CFPlus client is now available as server helpfiles (help command) in text
 format, too, and will be automatically updated on changes.
-=head1 2006-09-09
+=head2 2006-09-09
 Yesterday the server kernel froze, we had to reboot the server (which
 was inaccessible to us for a time). We will likely replace some components
 that could have caused the crash within the next week.
-=head1 2006-09-08
+=head2 2006-09-08
 Major Upgrade: the load/save functionality has been rewritten from scratch:
 maps load about twice as fast, with some degenerated maps (hi, Saladon) loading
 five times faster than with the old code, pushing map loading time below the tick time,
 eliminating freezes due to map loads. String handling has been rewritten from scratch and
 are now automaticlaly extracted from the CF+ manual. Among lots of other changes...
 While there should be no big user-visible changes, we do expect some bugs to have
 crept in due to the massive changes (the source diff is about 3MB in size), so watch
 out for any weird behaviour.

 The work on the worldmap will take a while, expect more terraforming in the
 next days. If you want to take a look at the current stage of the new world take a look

-=head1 2006-09-02
+=head2 2006-09-02
 The worldmap has been redone, and is in active development. The new worldmap is hopefully going
 to be more nice to travel and explore. We also restarted the server due a bug
 in the save code, <b>if you lost a lot of experience points due a login please tell the DMs!</b>.
 And the jeweler skill has been activated for testing! The experience gained in the skill is not added to the total
 experience. Look at the <a href="documentation.html">documentation</a> for jeweler_skill,
 there are no recipes yet, they will follow the next days.
-=head1 2006-09-01
+=head2 2006-09-01
 The CFPlus documentation along with the new jeweler skill (<b>the new skill isn't yet online, it will still take a few
 days until it's user ready</b>) documentation has
 been prepared for the website, look at the <a href="documentation.html">documentation</a>

 We had to take the bug tracker offline, as someone spammed it too much
 and we are too busy to maintain it and remove all the spam. Please send bugreports to
 crossfire@schmorp.de! Changes in the server code: connections can now be handled
 from Perl (means: you can trigger them and capture events for triggered connections).
 a container, it just moves everything thats above it. You can control it like the old ones:
 apply them and then just move. Also most shops, also the tradeshop, in Scorn got a 'safe ground'
 upgrade, which should prevent the usage of destructive stuff in them.
 - Everything is online on the next server restart.
-=head1 2006-08-28
+=head2 2006-08-28
 Big change in the code:
 The extension/plugin API was completly rewritten and offers now a complete new dimension
 of scripting! But <b>due a bug in the shop code it wasn't possible to sell stuff to shops
 in the night from 27. to 28., it's fixed again, we are sorry for the breakage!</b>
 <br />
 <b>If you find other bugs, please report them via mail or to the bugtracker! This will
 ensure that we find and fix the bugs as soon as possible in our limited time!</b>
 <b>If anyone misses sales from one of his items please contact the DM.</b>

 The server main disk had massive filesystem corruption, so the
 server crashed and was down this evening. It took a few hours to fix it and now
 it's back up again.  As we have a backup for all the critical files
 (like your player files) it wasn't fatal. Aside from that you maybe want to take
 a look at the last <a href="screenshots.html">screenshot</a>, which shows healthbars
 in crossfire. The server also has Perl in his core now, which makes it's integration easier.

 Uploaded some <a href="documentation.html">documentation</a> and implemented
 player trade shops, where player can sell items to other players for a price choosen
 by the seller. The items will stay in the trade shop for ever. This change has to
 wait until the next server restart.
 The <b>next CFPlus beta release is out!</b>: Inscription and renaming shortcuts have been
 added to the Inventory. The interface got line frames to be more eye pleasing.
 On top of that the documentation browser has been greatly improved and the documentation
 improved also a bit. And other minor stuff has been implemented and fixed.

 The heaven town has been uploaded together with the final part of the
 heaven quest. On top of that the difficulty calculations for maps were adjusted together
 with the generation of scrolls, rods, wands and staffs, which are now more close to the level
 difficulty. The post office code has been rewritten in Perl and got extended by some nice
 features like live notification of arrived mails and mail notification for received
 packages.

 Fixed logout and shutdown code: The server should now properly save both
 all players and all maps on shutdown, making a restart much less of a problem, as
 players will be able to continue playing where they left.

 Added many new commands to the dialog system. Added a test
 of whats possible to the scorn harbour area (shady gambler). Implemented

 Added a plug-in that asynchronously pre-fetches adjacent maps from disk
 whenever a player enters a map. This make ist highly probable that maps entered by the
 player are already in memory and comes at almost no cost (they are loaded into the
 OS disk cache only). As a net effect, most short freezes due to map loading should
 be gone.

 Rewrote shop pricing considerably: Bargaining has no effect on reckoning anymore,
 but a much greater effect on prices. Charisma 30 no longer has an artificial penalty.
 Shop pricing now changes prices from 2% (perfect, not achievable) to 100% difference.
 The prices have a more dynamic adjustments than the old * 4 factor. <b>Summary:</b> cheap
 things got cheaper, expensive things got more expensive, and everything became much less random
 than before. Also reduced the costs of healing and mana potions to an affordable price.

 Fixed a bug that sent the server into a tight loop, not responding
 anymore. This could happen if the player the disarm skill activated multiple
 traps which for reasons unknown were moved below the player, triggering each other
 continuously. Traps now longer move below the player but stay where they are.

 Greatly reduced experience for playerkills. Disable friendly fire logic
 in the arena, so you do not have to be hostile anymore just to visit the arena.

 Greatly reduced availability of skill scrolls and (to a lesser extent)
 enchantment scrolls, to enhance class-based gameplay. Also reduced amount of generators
 in raffle.

 Stealing now never yields more exp than the monster has and also
 reduces monster experience.

 After yet another crash (and fix of it) we restarted the server
 with some minor changes (ghosts drop ectoplasm more often). And the bank script
 has been added to the last maps.

 Added Linux-specific fast timeout code that kicks players
 out when the client doesn't ack data after 20 seconds. This
 makes it possible to quickly re-login after a "catastrophic" even such
 as losing your internet conenction. Also player-stealing between hostile players
 and the bank in lonetown was upgraded with new converters.
 Some undo-bugs were fixed in GCE (the editor) along with a context menu for
 adding stuff to the inventory to monsters on the map (not yet aviable as binary, but
 stay tuned or use the CVS).

 Extended the scorn bank with a small quest.

 (Update) Extended the bank in scorn and fixed the
 remaining bugs in the bank script (the missing inventory update and
 the ability to withdraw the whole balance).

 added information page about the <a href="client.html">new client</a>.
