*        6 FIXMEs remaining in plugins/.
*      152 TODOs remaining in plugins/.


* [FEATURE] Added "--launchd" commandline flag.  This overrides the --background/--daemon and --world-directory flags,
since launchd-aware processes shouldn't daemonize themselves and should set the working directory in the plist file.

* [FEATURE] Completed code for projectile weapons.

* [INTERNAL] Updated standard_library_display_accesses() so that it only displays non-zero access counts.  This slightly
reduces the verbosity of the output.

* [SELFTEST] Completed basic/reloading/firing self-tests for projectile weapons.

* [FEATURE] Move test objects/areas/skills to the Testing module.

* [FEATURE] Update debug attachment and test C plugin thing to generate to the Modules/Testing/Plugins directory.

* [FEATURE] Add --map-world option to server that generates a dot (ie Graphviz) format file for visualizing the world.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) Restore command didn't clear the recuperation flags.
	=> now done as part of the 'hitpoints' restore command.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil)

	I somehow got into a loop where the output to the player was:
		"You slip into a coma!"
	
	It would not stop so I closed the terminal window and received the following:
	
	src/base_object.c             ,  115, DEBUG   :  
	(do_display_event_queue) Neil3 (20): Event queue after insertion:

	=> Should be fixed...

* [FEATURE] Finished ammunition and ammobox objects.

* [FEATURE] Split selftests into correctness tests and stress tests.  Added '--stresstest' commandline option.

*        9 FIXMEs remaining in plugins/.
*      157 TODOs remaining in plugins/.

* [INTERNAL] Added support routines for Housing plugin to mud_manager and plugin_api modules.

* [INTERNAL] Removed unused preferences.

* [ADMIN] Server now checks for files that trigger a restart ("slashmudx.restart") and shutdown ("slashmudx.shutdown") -
it deletes any it finds at startup.  This feature could then be used by a Cocoa administration application.

* [FEATURE] Added 'encumbrance', which is a negative effect on speed from carrying too many items.  There's also an
additional line in the 'score' command output.

* [FEATURE] Added finer-grained hunger, thirst, intoxication reporting in living_do_score().

* [FEATURE] Added idea from AR: food, fluid and intoxication requires time to digest before affecting the player.

* [FEATURE] Removed hunting animals; they should eventually be rewritten as plugins.

* [FEATURE] Stolen items are flagged in the Agent's inventory display.

* [INTERNAL] Added dispose routine for events that allocated their own memory.

* [INTERNAL] Objects now have a uuid string instead of a raw uuid.

* [INTERNAL] Things that 'belong' to a creature are tagged with the owner's uuid string so stolen items can be detected.

* [INTERNAL] Moved some constants (max food/fluid/intoxication seconds) into the preferences module.

* [INTERNAL] Added a 'defeated' living state for handling recuperation.  Players who try to avoid the recuperation time
by quitting are now prevented from doing so.

* [SELFTEST] Added selftest for thing owner UUIDs.

* [SELFTEST] Fixed the selftests for food and drink.

* [SELFTEST] Added selftest that sends a kPluginSelfTest event to plugins.  They can do whatever they like and return 0
(failure) or 1 (success) as a boolean response to the event.  Plugins that don't understand the event are considered to
have passed.

didn't have a teleport in/out message of its own.

* [BUGFIX] Living objects weren't initializing, saving or reading class-level.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) When player neil555 types "look" with neil in the room, the messages displayed is goofy. The tokens
%class-adj human-%class-noun are not being expanded.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil)  It appears when the second of two players login (both deposited into the same room).  Both players
get the room long description. See below.

* [ 92900  218089 2307242] Build 2560.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* [BUGFIX] (Neil)

	After I teach player a skill, the "skills" command does not correctly list the skill learned.
	
	Situation:
	[19] (n_bandage in zone default)
	BandageBox Test Room.
	BandageBox Test Room.
	There is one exit: [West]
	  [23] A box of bandages [20].
	  [20] Shandra the Healer is here, teaching the arts of medicine.
	>>
	Ok> teach bandage

* [BUGFIX] (Neil)

	2. When player neil unwields the Orcreaver, player neil555 gets the following message.
	You unwields your Orcreaver.
	
	3. When player neil wields the talkingsword, player neil555 gets the following message.
	You wields your talkingsword.

* [ 92883  218051 2306659] Build 2551.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) When a new player starts at room dropzone the message says "look sign" but the command "look sign"
does not work.
	=> Should be 'examine sign', since the look command only deals with directions.
	=> Changed the area file.
	
* [FEATURE] Implement smapi_can_train_skill().

* [ 92823  217933 2305325] Build 2543.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	- slashmudx-1.0-preview-4.dmg (11.7 MiB)
		MD5 (slashmudx-1.0-preview-4.dmg) = 8269f6d4ab51da41d5a6f5ee7bd9da17

* [FEATURE] Further porting of classes from Mac OS 9 version.

* [ 91715  214860 2273617] Build 2478.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* [BUGFIX] (Neil)

	It appears that the server is not init'ing skills correctly.  I get a  
	lot of the following and do not see anything obviously wrong with the  
	skill files.
	
	The first warning happens when starting to init the 2nd skill in the  
	standard_skills file.
	
	=> Rewrote skill setup code.
	=> Fixed bug in generalspell.
	=> Fixed bug in kg_array:verify_array().
	=> Fixed bug in kg_array_list:kg_array_list_iterate().
	
* [ 91600  214520 2270651] Build 2471.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) Userfields still do not appear to survive "quit" command.
	=> userfields weren't being loaded, fixed.
	
* [ 91607  214532 2270758] Build 2460.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) Long description lines were reversed.
	=> Replaced the long description set with a list.

* [ 91587  214476 2270222] Build 2456.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* [BUGFIX] It does not appear that userfields are saving when a player quits.
	=> fixed, players weren't saving userfields.

* [ 91588  214470 2270019] Build 2447.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* [BUGFIX] The self-test doesn't complete:

	gdb ./slashmudx.debug
	run --memdebug --selftest

seems to be a problem in the quad hash table for doors.  Traced to a bug in kg_strlcpy() (I believe the implementation
from this was taken from BSD code - perhaps they can assume that memory is already zeroed).

* [BUGFIX] QuestMaster sends a custom event that is the address of a null pointer.
	=> Added custom QuestEvent that can be used for communication between the QuestMaster and QuestAttachment.

* [BUGFIX] 'slashmudx.debug --check-world' doesn't exit after checking the world files.

* [BUGFIX] currencies that do not have a denomination with a value of 1 will now fail to load.  This prevents problems
later on when trying to give change.

* [BUGFIX] Crash when Control-C at login prompt (Intel)

		The result of hitting control c at the login name request prompt:
		
		***** slashmudx 1.0.0 preview (build 1879)
		***** Running on Darwin 8.9.1
		
		
		Local time and date is 17:20:10 on Thursday, 29 March 2007.
		This server has been up for 11 seconds.
		
		Visitors: Enter 'guest' as your character name and press RETURN when asked for a password.
		Enter the name of a new or existing character:
		
		<- enter control c here
		
		get the following
		
		Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
		Reason: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at address: 0x00000000
		0x0008bbda in spirit_find_player (spirit=0x11cbfb0, line=0xe6c20 "") at src/spirit.c:479
		479 length = strlen(token);

	=> Fixed crash, but server may appear unresponsive when special Telnet sequences (e.g. INTR, sent by Ctrl-C) are
entered because the client is expecting a response that the server will never send.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) When I entered a room with the fireswamp plugin my hitpoints went to 0 and I did not die (regular
player).
	=> logic was setting hitpoints to 'hitpoints - hitpoints * damage * damagePercent / 100' instead of 'hitpoints -
damage * damagePercent / 100'

* [BUGFIX] Server crash when destroying a terminal window after putting in a player name but before entering a password.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) Server ran for about 20 minutes with essentially no activity and all plugins installed.  Both players
logged in at server start and then no activity.  I am assuming the fault was triggered by one of my wondering monsters.

	=> Corrected room event queue.

* [BUGFIX] Creatures aren't dying from plugin events like the virus (hitpoints stay at 0).

* [BUGFIX] When I issue "shutdown 10" from agent and the I get the following:

	src/armageddon_object.c:63: failed assertion `uArmageddon == NULL'

* [BUGFIX] Potions weren't responding to commands.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) Newbie can not wear the newbie armour. Evidently default min and max alignment are not being set
correctly when the object is created.  As both are set to zero when the object does not specify an alignment
restriction.
	=> thing_object.c now correctly initialises the min/max requirement fields.

* [BUGFIX] Potion saving:
	You quaff a potion of (null).
	=> feature wasn't complete, added rest of the save code.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) Fake event in event queue.  To recreate:
	
	1. Login as a new character
	2. Move w, n, w.
	3. Get/wield/wear leather and bronze
	4. Move n, w, n
	5. attempt to kill chick
	6. die
	7. catch virus in haven central room.
	The first time this hit me I caught the virus right away. The second time (logs below) I had to go back and catch
the virus. It appears the virus required to hit this.
	Hit assert.
	=> corrected event queue code.

* [BUGFIX] Virus attachment was returning an invalid string in the event's string response.

* [BUGFIX] 'score' command caused a crash when multiple attachments added a line.

* [BUGFIX] List of races doesn't display correctly when creating a new character:

	Please select a race for your character, or press RETURN for more information:
	>> 
	Ok> 
	
	Ok> 

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) Sleep doesn't restore hitpoints and spellpoints.
	=> food and/or drink was required.  Now the server.conf setting 'healing-requires-food true/false' (default false)
toggles this behaviour.

* [BUGFIX] When a body part dropped below full health, the living's light count was decremented.
	=> Only decrement the light count if the body part provides light.
	=> This also fixes the problem with no deaths during single combat selftest or group combat selftest.

* [BUGFIX] The living_change_hsp() routine was applying the spellpoint change to both hitpoints and spellpoints.

* [BUGFIX] The maximum fluid/food/intoxication second values were set too low.

* [BUGFIX] Eliza was trying to use the iterate callback routine on an iterator list (doesn't support it).

* [BUGFIX] Eliza and janitor had failures during the kPluginNotePointers event.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) Wearing multiple instances of an armour seems to work.
	=> Armours that had an empty location set or alternate location set could be worn when they shouldn't have been.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) Wielding multiple instances of a weapon seems to work.
	=> Weapons that had an empty location set or alternate location set could be wielded when they shouldn't have been.

* [BUGFIX] Some ObjectLibrary armours/weapons had 'wielded true' or 'worn true' in their base definitions.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) newbie area 'eat potato' fails.
	=> food and drink aren't complete yet (no code to implement commands).
	=> works now.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil)
	After the last round of changes I can't seem to pick up anything in  
	the newbie area with a new character.
	
	Ok>
	The Newbie Training Area.
	There are several exits: [North, east]
		 A sign is posted here.
		 A magical leprechaun potato.
	get potato
	[ECHO] get potato
	Command: get
	Object name: potato
	Object ordinal: 1
	Subject name: (null)
	Subject ordinal: 0
	The potato is too much for you to carry.
	
	
	The Newbie Training Area.
	There are several exits: [North, east]
		 A bronze shortsword lies here.
		 A set of leather armour lies here.
	get shortsword
	[ECHO] get shortsword
	Command: get
	Object name: shortsword
	Object ordinal: 1
	Subject name: (null)
	Subject ordinal: 0
	The bronze shortsword is too much for you to carry.
	
	=> fixed problem with comparison between signed and unsigned ints.

* [BUGFIX] Inventory command didn't correctly display how much additional weight the player could carry.
	=> fixed.

* [BUGFIX] Dead players retain viruses.
	=> VirusAttachment now responds to kPluginAttachmentCreatureDied event by removing itself.
	=> added kPluginAttachmentCreatureDied to VirusAttachment's register_events routine.
	=> Don't want to do this, rolled back previous changes to VirusAttachment.  Players retain viruses because they are
restored to their last saved state, which (of course) includes the virus.  If this weren't the case, players could
simply save and quit, then rejoin to get rid of a virus.
	=> Added a special kPluginAttachmentPlayerDied event that attachments can use to remove themselves on death.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) Server assert when Agent logs out:

	=> Can't reproduce. Logging in then out works fine with the 'koryn' agent and the 'neil' agent.
	=> Eventually able to reproduce.  Appears to be a problem with the mCurrentLanguage field, which has been cleaned up
and fixed.

* [BUGFIX] Portals didn't unregister themselves with the portal manager when finished.

* [BUGFIX] Server asserts when a room resets.  The room is still in the room manager's list of active rooms.
	=> when a room resets it now removes itself from the room manager's list of active rooms.

* [BUGFIX] The amount of weight a creature could carry was multiplied by an extra factor of 1000 :)

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) assert when room n_fountain is loaded.
	Started testing torch and waterskin.  Created items in the various  
	files, then started server and it immediately asserts when logging  
	in.  Repeatable.
	=> Attachment has registered for plugin updates but doesn't have events in its event queue.
	=> Don't automatically register attachments for updates in base_add_attachment() - they need to explicitly call
smapi_register_for_updates().

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) the "inventory" command does not seem to give the same results as the "eq" command.
	=> (Koryn) This is an old bug report, it may have been fixed but needs checking.
	=> (Koryn) Can't reproduce, seems to work fine.

* [BUGFIX] (Koryn) Plugin updates seem to be sent every tick - this should be throttled.
	=> Done - by default plugin updates are sent every 10 ticks.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) light count verify fails when a plugin living moves into a room:

	=> Rewrote light calculation code.
	=> Added attachment and plugin light count to light calculations.
	=> rewrote body_get_light_count() to be more efficient.  Has a 'cached light value valid' indicator that is cleared:
		- when first loaded.
		- when light-providing part is damaged.
		- when light-providing part is restored to full health.

* [BUGFIX] Room short descriptions weren't working.

* [BUGFIX] (Neil) The autodestruct attachment plugin does not appear to be getting either plugin kPluginAttachmentUpdate
or kPluginUpdate events.
	The test room is "n_ad" in my area.  You will find 2 amulets with autodestruct attachments.

	=> Plugins receive kPluginAttachmentUpdate when they are 'piggybacking' on the update event from another object
(i.e. a living).  When they are attached to an object that doesn't normally receive updates (e.g. an amulet in this
case), they need to use the kPluginUpdate event AND ensure that they call smapi_register_for_updates() on their host. 
Some server changes were needed to get this working (because previously only objects that were ThingPtrs or subclasses
could be registered for updates), but those have been done.

* [BUGFIX] (Koryn) Autodestruct attachments weren't receiving kPluginAttachmentPostInitialise events.
	=> These events were never sent - should be using kPluginPostInitialise instead.
	=> Removed kPluginAttachmentPostInitialise from the server.

* [BUGFIX] (Koryn) kPluginPostInitialise events didn't have kParameterHost set correctly.
	=> Fixed.

* [BUGFIX] (Koryn) attachment_finish_loading() was calling base_add_attachment() and base_post_initialise(), which both
sent a kPluginPostInitialise event.
	=> Fixed.

* [BUGFIX] (Koryn) autodestruct attachment wasn't parsing lines correctly.
	=> Fixed.

* [FEATURE] Armageddon now issues a shutdown message immediately.

* [FEATURE] The 'alias' and 'apparent-alias' lines can now contain multiple space-separated words.

* [FEATURE] First cut of container objects.

* [FEATURE] Things, Armours and Weapons now retrieve default messages from the preferences for breaking, using,
disusing.

* [FEATURE] First cut of code to merge Coins when they are added to a living's purse.

* [FEATURE] Food and drink save code.

* [FEATURE] Add basic food, fluid, intoxication display to score.

* [FEATURE] First cut of drink code.

* [FEATURE] First cut of food code.

* [FEATURE] Attachments can now determine whether they persist after a player dies by receiving the
kPluginAttachmentPlayerDied event.

* [FEATURE] container_finish_loading() now calls the thing_finish_loading() routine.

* [FEATURE] thing_get_weight() now returns the base_data.mWeightGrams field.

* [FEATURE] container_get_weight() now correctly implemented.

* [FEATURE] Server now correctly refuses to negotiate any TELNET options, meaning that both sides should assume RFC 854
Network Virtual Terminal behaviour, including line-at-a-time mode (which the server requires).

* [FEATURE] Detect clients sending single characters at a time and send them a warning about their client's behaviour.

* [FEATURE] Finished implementing code for skill_state.

* [FEATURE] Finished parsing code for skills.

* [FEATURE] Finished porting code for skills.

* [FEATURE] Finished porting userfields.

* [FEATURE] Added world string for singular and plural weight units (e.g. kilogram, kilograms).

* [FEATURE] Added server string for the admin email address.

* [FEATURE] Add amount of additional weight that can be carried to the 'score' and 'inventory' commands.  Stick to
integers.

* [FEATURE] Ported all group routines apart from SplitGold() / group_split_money().

* [FEATURE] Added body part description to wielded weapons and worn armours in 'inventory' command.

* [FEATURE] Added smapi_set_update_event_interval() so plugins can set the frequency of their update events.

* [FEATURE] Made information that is only displayed to Agents more obvious (yellow on black).

* [INTERNAL] Replaced DEBUG_LIGHT_COUNT with a server setting.  The intention is that eventually there will be an Admin
command that can be used to turn this off and on.

* [INTERNAL] Added setters for preferences.

* [INTERNAL] Remove smapi_set_hitpoints() in favour of smapi_change_hitpoints(), which correctly processes hitpoint
changes using virtual_change_hitpoints().

* [INTERNAL] Remove smapi_set_spellpoints() in favour of smapi_change_spellpoints(), which correctly processes
spellpoint changes using virtual_change_spellpoints().

* [INTERNAL] Added base_get_event_name() which returns the object's name and object id as a string in the format
"standardname (10)", or "capname (10)" if the object has no standardname.

* [INTERNAL] Refactored base_parse_line() and room_parse_line() to remove duplicate code.

* [INTERNAL] Added two new settings:
	- kSettingTicksPerRealSecond, which determines the target number of server ticks during each real world second;
	- kSettingTicksPerGameSecond, which determines the number of server ticks before the game second increments;

* [LOGGING] Add game event logging for players logging in and logging off the server.

* [LOGGING] Room loading:
	- room loaded into memory from area files.
	- room resets.
	- room added to current area repository.
	- room flushed from current area repository.
	- room loaded from current area repository.

* [SELFTEST] Passed: ensure '--memdebug --selftest' runs if QuestMaster plugin IS included.

* [SELFTEST] Added basic test for containers.

* [SELFTEST] Added basic test for coin merging.

* [SELFTEST] Added tests for getting ammoboxes, armours, containers, drink, food and weapons.

* [SELFTEST] Added tests for wearing and removing armours.

* [SELFTEST] Added tests for wielding and unwielding weapons.

* [SELFTEST] Aliases
	- multiple (space-separated) aliases should all be recognized.

* [SELFTEST] Purses should correctly collapse coins of the same denomination.

* [SELFTEST] Coin merging in rooms.

* [SELFTEST] DrinkPtr selftest
	- create monster.
	- add drink to monster.
	- force monster to do 'drink %name'.
	- check that the monster is no longer holding the drink.
	- check that the monster has a bottle object.
	- check that the monster's properties have increased by the drink's fluid/hp/sp/tox values.

* [SELFTEST] FoodPtr selftest
	- create monster.
	- add food to monster.
	- force monster to do 'eat %name'.
	- check that the monster is no longer holding the food.
	- check that the monster's properties have increased by the food's food/fluid/hp/sp/tox values.

* [SELFTEST] For wearing multiple armours:
	- create monster.
	- add two copies of an armour to monster.
	- force monster to wear all.
	- check that the monster has only worn one instance of the armour.

* [SELFTEST] For wielding multiple weapons:

	- add two copies of an weapon to monster.
	- force monster to wield all.
	- check that the monster has only wielded one instance of the weapon.

* [SELFTEST] Added tests for portals transporting monsters.

* [SELFTEST] Added container tests:
	- weight factor.
	- item limit.
	- weight limit.

* [SELFTEST] Portals with another portal as the destination.
	- put two portals in unconnected rooms with each as the target of the other.
	- force a monster to enter the portal and ensure it ends up in the other room.

* [SELFTEST] Corpse decaying:
	- create a corpse.
	- check that it correctly corpse.
	- check that it vanishes when expected.

* [SELFTEST] Statue decaying:
	- create a statue.
	- check that it correctly deteriorates.
	- check that it vanishes when expected.

* [SELFTEST] Userfields:
	- adding.
	- removing.
	- retrieving as int values.

* [SELFTEST] Added tests for titles.

* [TEST] Passed: logging in as 'koryn.backup' to make sure backup files are filtered correctly.

* [ADMIN] Added game event log in 'Logs/game_eventsXXX.log'.

* [BUILD] Create Universal binaries (or separate Intel/PowerPC builds).  Instructions have been added to the INSTALL
document.

* [BUILD] Set up infrastructure to compile production version against libgc.
	=> Added code to libkoryn to call GC_MALLOC() instead of malloc() if USE_LIBGC_MALLOC is defined and it isn't a
debug build.
	=> Added '--enable-libgc' option to the slashmudx configure script, which adds libgc to the link line.

* [BUILD] Set up separate checks for CXX flags in 'configure.ac' so that DEBUG_CXXFLAGS doesn't end up compiling with
-O2.

* [ 91586  214467 2269953] Build 2446.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: memory debugging checks were being called regardless of the '--memdebug' flag.

* Bug fix: removed extraneous memory debugging from drink_object.c.

* Bug fix: removed extraneous memory debugging from standard_library.c.

* [ 85421  199017 2093475] Build 1879.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Use kg_memory_note_ptrs_iterate() in Shop plugin's pi_note_ptrs().

* Added kPluginNotePointers support to C++ plugins.

* Server plugin code will assert if plugin hasn't registered to receive kPluginNotePointers event (to catch omissions).

* Add -O0 to DEBUG_FLAGS autoconf variable in configure script.

* Remove -pedantic from compiler flags (cannot work with dlsym() and gcc 4.0).

* Remove -fstack-check from Darwin 8.3 (OS X 10.4.3) compiler flags (doesn't work either).

* Fix almost all gcc 4.0.x warnings in Darwin 8.3 compile.

* [ 85413  199004 2093443] Build 1870.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Added support for kPluginNotePointers event to the server.

* Added smapi_malloc() and smapi_free() routines to the Plugin API for memory allocation/disposal.

* Use AC_HELP_STRING() macro in the configure script to align the output from 'configure --help'.

* Remove KG_MEMORY_DEBUG and DEBUG_VERSION from the Makefile.am files.

* Fix the server's Makefile.am so it doesn't try and 'touch' files that don't (yet) exist.

* [ 85421  198912 2091211] Build 1850.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* [libkoryn] Folded memory debugging into the debug version to speed up build times.  The debug version can now have
memory debugging activated by calling kg_memory_debug_enable() rather than linking against a special memdebug build.

* Folded memory debugging into the debug version to speed up build times.
	=> modified Makefile.am files to remove the memdebug targets.
	=> modified server commandline processing to activate memory debugging if '--memdebug' is a commandline argument.

* Memory leak: light count debugging wasn't counting the light log file.

* [ 85395  199429 2092822] Build 1813.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: testing for an attachment by loading it and then disposing it with smapi_finished() caused an assert to
trigger because the attachment had no host.
	=> modified the disposal routine so that it doesn't attempt to remove an attachment from its host if it has no host.

* Bug fix: QuestMaster didn't check for NULL token/remainder from an event before using them.

* Memory leaks: added code to time_manager.c that notes the names of days, months, years.

* Memory leaks: added plugin event, kPluginNotePointers, for noting allocated pointers.  Plugins should respond to this
by calling smapi_note_ptr() on any pointers stashed in the instance data that were allocated with KG_XALLOCATE() or
smapi_get_string().

* [libkoryn] fixed memory leak in kg_logging, added kg_log_note_ptrs() routine.

* [libkoryn] added string handling utility routines to kg_string (kg_get_string, kg_replace_string and
kg_release_string).

* [ 85394  199445 2094214] Build 1773.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug: 'unlock east' (or west) doesn't work for Agents from "easternroom".  Unlocking should always work for Agents - or
maybe there should be a 'ghost east' command for Agents?  That sounds more appealing :)
	=> these commands work fine.

* Bug fix: if a new player connection was aborted, the server would attempt to create a statue for the player.  This
caused asserts to trigger, because the player didn't have a race yet. (Neil)
	=> player_create_statue() checks to see that the player has completed the name/password/race selection process
before creating a statue.

* Bug fix: 'remove' with no arguments caused a crash.

* [ 85339  198470 2089247] Build 1751.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Remove slashmudx.pid file on termination.

* Ensure all plugins register events and remove smapi_want_event() and supporting code. (Done for plugins, still need to
remove server code..Neil 3/21/05)

* Implemented first cut at Agent's 'ghost' command.  Needs to be tested.

* Bug fix: 'slashmudx.debug --crash-report' was failing if a plugin tried to access the world time (testcpluginthing
did).

* Bug fix: an assert could fire in base_install_plugin() when loading a plugin twice; now it ignores the second loading
and logs the event.

* Bug fix: inventory command for Agents now lists the object IDs in yellow. (Koryn)

* Bug fix: default server exit messages weren't used in player_enter_room() and player_exit_room():

	Father Augustine Janitor Path (null) to the east.

* Bug fix: torch plugin would incorrectly assert if it encountered the line 'torch-lit false' when already unlit or
'torch-lit true' when already lit.

* Bug: shape command doesn't work. (Koryn)
	=> works fine:
		Ok> shape colonel
		[ECHO] shape colonel
		Command: shape
		Object name: colonel
		Object ordinal: 1
		Subject name: (null)
		Subject ordinal: 0
		Orc colonel is in excellent shape.

* Added implementation to the class.c file.

* [ 85327  198423 2088911] Build 1744.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Modified libkoryn's kg_directory_iterator module to support a directory filter.  Added a CVS directory filter to the
utility_procedures module, and modified invocations of kg_iterate_directory so that CVS directories are filtered out. 
This means the server should be able to run from a direct checkout of the 'auxiliary' CVS module.

* Installed slashmudx binaries to /usr/local/bin and checked that they work correctly from there when the current
working directory contains the world files etc. (Koryn)

* More unused variable compiler warning fixes.

* Modified build infrastructure.  Assuming the server's configure.ac file is in a directory called 'slashmudx':
	- server binaries are no longer copied to the 'slashmudx/bin' directory.
	- plugin binaries are copied to 'slashmudx/plugins/bin' instead of 'slashmudx/bin/plugins'.  A useful configuration
is to have 'slashmudx/plugins/bin' be a symbolic link to the 'auxiliary/plugins' directory.

The recommended way to build and run the server is:

	$ cd slashmudx
	$ ./configure
	$ make
	$ sudo make install

which will make the server and plugins, then install the server binaries in /usr/local/bin.  If 'plugins/bin' is a
symbolic link as described above, the server can now be run directly from the 'auxiliary' directory:

	$ slashmudx.debug

or

	$ gdb /usr/local/bin/slashmudx.debug

* [ 85081  196696 2080367] Build 1710.

* Changed '#if DEBUG_VERSION' to '#ifndef NDEBUG' in the server.

* Check for platform using sysctl() if available instead of using autoconf CANONICAL_HOST, so the platform reported is
the runtime platform not the configure-time platform.

* Modified libkoryn to use automake and libtool.

* Moved src/slashmud_config.h to src/config.h.

* Updated to autoconf 2.59.

* Removed compatibility_layer.h include from files that didn't require it.

* Moved all POSIX and C Standard Library headers to "slashmud_includes.h", where they are included only if the
corresponding autoconf HAVE_FOOBAR_H conditional is true.

* Fixed many warning messages about unused variables.

* [ 85053  196603 2079509] Build 1700.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: incorrectly attempting to remove an attachment from an object's contents when disposed (attachment live in a
separate list, not the contents). (Neil)

* [ 85281  196515 2084503] Build 1674.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: Plugin update routines weren't being called for rooms. (Neil)

* [ 85248  196425 2083561] Build 1672.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: smapi_remove_money_with_change() hadn't been tested.

* [ 85248  196419 2083517] Build 1670.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: living_object.c's remove_money_small() routine wasn't removing coins whose number went to 0 from the living's
purse, causing an infinite loop attempting to remove money.

* Bug fix: living_object.c's money routines had an off-by-one error ('<' instead of '<=').

* Bug fix: remove_money_small() needed to iterate over the currency denominations in descending order, but didn't
(causing strange results when removing money).

* Changed variables shared between threads in networking module to 'volatile'.

* Keyrings now display "Your keyring is empty." when they are empty (instead of "Your keyring contains the following
keys:" with nothing following).

* Added plugin API money routine that automatically provides change: smapi_remove_money_with_change().

* Fixed a bunch of compiler warnings.

* Implemented food_parse_line() and drink_parse_line().

* thing_parse_line() now recognises 'cost' as a synonym for 'value'.

* [ 85249  196422 2083517] Build 1667.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: tell messages weren't being passed to plugin monsters and attachments. (Neil)

* [ 85068  195919 2078792] Build 1651.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: shop contained a double-free.  It was disposing of the name of the associated Room. (Koryn)

* Bug fix: Agent 'create' command couldn't create items after changes to the standard library module. (Koryn)

* Bug fix: Agent 'create' command didn't correctly add items to the invoker. (Koryn)

* Bug fix: 'could not drop item' message hadn't been finished. (Koryn)

* Bug fix: [kThingFlagGettable] For items created and just laying in a room it does not appear that the flag
kThingFlagGettable is being set.  In any case I can not pick them up and neither can the janitor. (Neil)
	- newly created items didn't have their Thing attributes correctly initialised.
	- base_be_picked_up() was incorrectly using base_instance_of() rather than virtual_instance_of(), and
living_can_carry() instead of virtual_can_carry().

* Modified plugin Makefile.am files so the plugins aren't installed by the 'make install' target.

* Added missing Makefile.in files for plugins.

* [ 85043  195846 2078118] Build 1640.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix [room plugin updates]: It appears that room object plugins are not being sent "update" events.  From the code
below room_update() expected plugins to get updates but base_update() did not implement it. (Neil)

* Bug fix: Wanderer plugin failed the server self-test. (Koryn)

* Bug fix: SleepSkill plugin failed the server self-test.  It initialised instance data in pi_initialise() instead of
pi_create_instance_data(). (Koryn)

* Bug fix: Mentor plugin failed the server self-test.  It failed to initialise its instance data. (Koryn)

* Bug fix: QuestMaster plugin failed the server self-test.  It attempted to dispose invalid data.  (Koryn)

* Bug fix: Mentor plugin failed the server self-test when adding an initial efficacy to the skill taught by the Mentor.
(Koryn)

* Bug fix: QuestMaster in ObjectLibrary/neil_quests attempted to load the plugin 'debug_attachment' instead of
'debugattachment'. (Koryn)

* Bug fix: Mentor plugin didn't handle the case where initial values were found for a non-existent skill. (Koryn)

* Bug fix: Gate plugin didn't correctly parse lines - test for non-NULL string used || instead of &&. (Koryn)

* Bug fix: double-free in the QuestMaster plugin; checked other plugins for the same problem, fixed BulletinBoard.
(Koryn)

* Bug fix: Mentor plugin didn't save last item in skill list. (Koryn)

* Bug fix: say/tell/shout commands don't work. (Neil)
	- added commands missing from the parser: say, tell, shout, lock, unlock, time. (Koryn)

* Updated all plugins to use automake.

* Rename C++ source files to end with ".cc" instead of ".cp".  Appears to be required for automake recognition.

* Changed 'pi_parse_line()' to 'mentor_parse_line()' in the Mentor plugin to ease debugging (can now set breakpoints!).

* Modified say, tell, and shout feedback messages for consistency.

* Merged 'category one' and 'category two' commands.

* [ 84972  195735 2076765] Build 1629.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Implemented global talk list (gTalkList) for talkative monsters.  Non-comment lines in the "Settings/talklist.txt"
file are used by talkative monsters as non-expiring comments.

* Minor fixes to remove compiler warnings.

* [ 84844  195303 2072484] Build 1588.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: living_language_catch_message() wasn't included in the living base virtuals structure.

* Bug fix: uBaseObjectCache was defined in base_object.h instead of base_object.c

* [ 84752  195047 2069821] Build 1576.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: standard_library_load_typed_object() had an error in the way it handled drinks.

* Bug fix: food and drink didn't call the thing_parse_line() routine.

* Cleaned up standard library object loading code.

* [ 84749  195033 2069618] Build 1570.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: time_manager_update() caused an assert when the season rolled over if the calendar had no seasons.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: light counts now work sufficiently well to pass the self-tests.

* Bug fix: array version of a linked list had problems with the add_last() routine (Neil).

* currency_get_money_string() was unimplemented (Neil).

* Added selftest for currencies.

* [ 84728  194994 2069547] Build 1558.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: light count was being verified before rooms were fully constructed.

src/room_overrides.c          , 1601, ERROR   : (room_verify_light_count) incorrect light count in 'nbarenasouth':
mLightCount = 0, sum of contained objects = 1
src/room_overrides.c:1603: failed assertion `sum == self->base_data.mLightCount'

* Bug fix: light count for livings didn't take into account any light-providing body parts:
	- finish_loading() adds the number of full-health light-providing body parts to the light count;
	- when a full-health light-providing body part is injured, the light count is decremented;
	- when an injured light-providing body part recovers, the light count is incremented.

* Bug fix: light count for livings wasn't being added to the room they were loaded into.

* Bug fix: potion self-test had a bug in the quaff test that only showed up in the memdebug version.

* Bug fix: potions didn't call thing_finish_loading() from potion_finish_loading().

* Bug fix: loading objects from the Object Library didn't check for duplicate names (object names must be unique within
a 'kind' of object, e.g. weapons, armours, potions).

* Bug fix: portals were being added to the Object Library in their new_portal_instance() routine (bad).  They're now
added in the finish_loading() routine.

* Bug fix: stopping the foobar_do_command() from a plugin was incomplete (Neil Tiffin).

* Bug fix: infinite loop in player_teleport_{in|out}_room() (Neil Tiffin).

* Added 'stats' Agent command to view some in-game statistics (currently the BasePtr contained weight caching stats).

* Temporarily disabled the verify_light_count() methods.

* [ 84474  194298 2062375] Build 1527.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Added light counter to the room object.

* Added room_has_light().

* Removed virtual_has_light() from base virtual methods and replaced with virtual_get_light_count().

* Added base_get_current_room(), which returns the current room containing the object (which is not necessarily the
environment).

* Added virtual_get_light_count(), which returns 1/0 (according as the object provides light itself) plus the sum of the
_light_count() calls on all contained objects.  Base case is a leaf object which returns 1 (provides light) or 0
(doesn't).

* Added room_sunrise() and room_sunset() methods which are called by the time manager as appropriate and
increment/decrement the room's light count.

* Added virtual verify_light_count() method.

* Audited uses of kg_strtobool() to avoid NULL string arguments.

* Split weight into intrinsic weight and contained weight fields.

* Modified 'Torch' plugin to use smapi_increment_light() and smapi_decrement_count().

* Added a test for the 'get' command to the --selftest option.

* Added support for resources (coal, iron, wood, silver, gold, gems, jewels) to rooms.

* [ 84415  194185 2062087] Build 1480.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: 'get' command dereferenced a null pointer when used with the name of a non-existent item. (skips)

* [ 83894  192856 2049552] Build 1452.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: race isn't shown in the score display.
	- fixed display so that the first line is displayed correctly.

* Bug fix: living_get_short_description() was returning early.

* Bug fix: strings in general (and title templates in particular) weren't being correctly parsed in the preferences
module.

* Bug fix: alive-time isn't shown in the score display.
	- revised age code for living objects and ensured it was correct in the score display.

* More work on the title module.

* [ 83894  192854 2049560] Build 1448.

* SECOND PREVIEW RELEASE.

* Tagged CVS as PREVIEW_2_0.

	- slashmudx-preview-2.dmg.gz (10.5MB, MD5 = f55ffe82b19c07fb47431896d60e2f65)
	- slashmudx-preview-2-lite.dmg.gz (3.1MB, MD5 = 48b6044985542a3f50bae54b00d2fa8f)

* Bug fix: logging in using a player with an empty password caused an assert to fire.

* Cosmetic adjustments to the death screen.

* Adjustments to status lines displayed during combat.

* Changed virtual function hashes to use do_checksum() in the utility_procedures module instead of calling kg_adler32()
directly.  This will enable kg_adler32() to be swapped for a less compute intensive checksum (e.g. XOR) at a single
location.

* Added a simple XOR based checksum to be used in the build version of the server.

* Tested adding -pipe option to gcc arguments:

	$ ccache -C && make clean && time make

		real    4m55.907s
		user    2m22.720s
		sys     0m45.790s
	
without -pipe:
	$ ccache -C && make clean && time make

		real    5m39.622s
		user    2m7.110s
		sys     0m42.070s

* Started on support for titles in the score and short description displays.

* Added memory debugging to kg_array and kg_int array modules.

* Added feedback to the gender and race-selection phases for new characters.

* [ 83752  192498 2046213] Build 1426.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: FreeBSD doesn't appear to have truncf().  Replaced with trunc().

* Bug fix: hpstyle and setgender commands caused a crash when called with no arguments (skips):
	- fixed hpstyle to display options when called with no argument.
	- removed setgender.  It really should be an option for when a player first logs in.

* Bug fix: alive-time is sometimes duplicated in the score display:
* Bug fix: creature targeting isn't shown in the score display:
	- the alive-time buffer was wrongly being displayed twice.

* Bug fix: start_room might not be successfully located when a player dies.

* Bug fix: zones weren't correctly handling flags, including "light true".

* Added gender selection phase to creating a new player.

* Cosmetic fixes to examining other creatures.

* [ 83624  192042 2042020] Build 1406.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: entries in the general log that contained unnecessary blank lines (skips).

* Bug fix: by default, the server started with logging disabled (skips).

* Bug fix: disabled talk list.

* Bug fix: when a player died, an assert fired if the race had no restart room.

* [ 83604  191922 2041184] Build 1395.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: the move command was displayed as 'unknown command' when echoed back to players.

* Bug fix: the note_ptrs() routines weren't noting memory from the time_manager module.

* Bug fix: base_examination() was still treating the attachments list as an iterator list.

* Bug fix: group combat selftest wasn't working correctly with a multiplier greater than 1.

* The build version of the server no longer echoes commands back to players.

* There's now a 'movement' command that toggles the movement feedback string on and off.

* Turned 'nasty' mode for memory debugging subsystem off by default since there are still valid allocations that need to
be tracked down.

* Added an undocumented '--nasty' command-line option that turns on the nasty mode for the memory debugging subsystem.

* [ 83552  191797 2040187] Build 1387.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: attachments weren't setting their environment to NULL before detaching.

* Bug fix: attachment list was being disposed twice when a base_object removed all attachments in finished() routine.

* Bug fix: the group combat selftest failed to notify monsters when their target had been killed and disposed of.

* Bug fix: the single combat selftest now has a 30 second timeout for each bout.  If the timer expires, the bout is
declared a draw.

* Bug fix: the group combat selftest now has a 120 second timeout.  If the timer expires without a death, all remaining
monsters are joint winners.

* Bug fix: the memory debugging routine that cleared the referenced flag didn't update the header checksum.

* Bug fix: LivingObjects were being added to the updateable list (e.g. sneezer) when an attachment wanted to be
registered for updates.  The [un]register_for_updates() routines are now virtual, with the LivingPtr implementation of
these routines doing nothing.  The [un]register_for_plugin_updates() routines are also virtual, with the LivingPtr
implementation of these routines adding plugin_update events to the event queue but not adding the object to the
updateable list.

* Renamed 'virus' to 'virusattachment' in the ObjectLibrary/standard_attachments file.

* Added 'luck' stat.

* Added a --crash-report command-line option that logs CVS headers, plugin information, and version numbers ready for
emailing.

* Added standard_library_display_accesses() routine to standard_library module.

* Added an attachment-loading test to the selftest module.

* The combat selftests now ensure all monsters are in a visible state.

* Cleaned up logging module to use LogPtrs instead of a mix of FILE*s and LogPtrs.

* Added --loglevel command-line option to set the logging level.

* Selftest comparison (with single combat test off) in default configuration:

memdebug:

* Bug fix: rooms and zones weren't setting their height, which was causing problems when characters with non-zero height
attempted to move around a room with zero height (skips@sourceforge.net).

* Bug fix: standard_object_processor.c contained "begin-attachment " instead of "begin-attachment"
(skips@sourceforge.net).

* Bug fix: rooms weren't responding to the same number of flags that zones were.

* Fixed inconsistency between zone and ammunition logging of unknown lines.

* Server now exits if it could not bind() or listen() on the network socket.

* [  82706  189445 2016889] Build 1291.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Updated kg_logging so that LogPtr objects automatically rollover and create gzipped backups when they hit a limiting
size.

* Converted slashmud logging module to use kg_logging instead of reimplementing features.

* [  82694  189413 2016585] Build 1288.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Added caching of most recent time string conversion and CalendarState creation to time_manager module.  Appears to
provide 10-20% improvement.

	if seconds == last_seconds && hash == last_hash && string == last_string
		return last_string

* Implemented self-test for potions that checks opening, sipping, tasting and quaffing.

* Implemented potion sip loading (was missing for some reason).

* Added new plugin event: kPluginQueryInfo.  The desired response is a ListPtr containing strings allocated by
smapi_get_string() describing the name, version, build (memdebug, debug or build), authors and other human-readable
information about the plugin.

* [  82743  189372 2017074] Build 1277.

* Modified time_manager module to read calendar file: "Settings/calendar.conf".

* Added configurable format strings to time_manager module.

* Added calendar self-test to the --selftest command-line option.

* [  82197  188064 2002544] Build 1240.

* Bug fix: keys, portals and potions weren't returned by standard_library_load_named_object().

* Bug fix: the keyword 'worn' without a true/false value caused a crash when loading some armours.

* Bug fix: the plugin_event_set_textline() caused a memory leak.

* Bug fix: rooms weren't disposing of their mPluginData.

* Bug fix: Mentor wasn't correctly dealing to mentor-currency strings.

* Bug fix: plugin_dispose() was setting the magic number to zero before the plugin was finished sending events.

* Bug fix: zone_parse_line() was storing an automatic variable in the long description set.

* Bug fix: if a room had a 'zone non_existent_zone' line in the area file then it ended up with no zone.

* Bug fix: there was no zone called 'default' in the Zones directory.

* Bug fix: room_finished() was disposing the room's Zone.

* Bug fix: cut and paste bug in Janitor.

* Bug fix: spouter wasn't dealing with strings correctly.

* Bug fix: reading in the preferences was using an uninitialized buffer.

* Bug fix: portals and potions weren't correctly initializing their data (using sizeof(FooInstance) instead of
sizeof(FooHeader)).

* Bug fix: preferences manager wasn't correctly dealing with preference file lines.

* Bug fix: Cell plugin was using StandardTextPtrs it hadn't allocated.

* Bug fix: ammoboxes were inconsistently treated as 'ammo-box' and 'ammobox': standardised on 'ammobox'.

* Bug fix: Janitor was calling smapi_wear() and smapi_wield() with incorrect parameters.

* Bug fix: rooms weren't retaining flags set with room_set_flag().

* Fixed linker flag to stop unreferenced symbols being stripped (used to be -all-load, now -all_load).

* Fixed permission problems with log files.

* Portals now correctly install an update event.

* Added --selftest flag and rudimentary self-test code that loads all ammoboxes, armours, drinks, foods, keys, monsters,
portals, potions, rooms and weapons.

* Changed plugin loading so that slashmudx.memdebug only loads *.memdebug.so plugins, slashmudx.debug only loads
*.debug.so plugins and slashmudx only loads *.so plugins.

* Modified plugin Makefiles to have a memdebug target.

* Modified plugins to use KG_XALLOCATE() instead of kg_xallocate_ptr() so the memdebug target is correct.

* Tidied up room_finished() -- lots of duplicate code because it wasn't calling base_finished().

* Tightened up memory verification system - pointers are verified when they are noted.

* Monsters now install a default name (equal to their standard name) in finish_loading().

* Removed unnecessary monster_check_target() routine.

* Bug fix: in base_install_plugin(), the plugin instance data wasn't being extracted before the plugin event was
disposed.

* Bug fix: plugin events asserted when a non-null string was stored in the textline, token or remainder.

* Bug fix: quit command causes an EXC_BAD_ACCESS signal - the spirit should not be disposed until after the player has
been saved.
	- player saving has been moved to occur before the spirit is detached.

* Bug fix: numerous Living and Agent commands didn't check to see if the remainder argument was non-null before using
it.

* Bug fix: items stored in a player file using 'begin-armour' instead of 'include-armour' do not load correctly.
	- one of the loading routines was checking for 'include-armour' instead of 'begin-armour', after the line had
already been checked for 'begin-armour'.
	- standard_library_instantiate_object() wasn't correctly responding to both 'begin-foobar' and 'include-foobar'.

* Bug fix: purses did not display, because purse_add_to_contents() was unimplemented.

* Bug fix: recover-chance was being saved as 0, because thing_append_properties_to_save_text() was saving the
RecoverChance effect rather than the recover chance itself.

* Bug fix: rooms with no short description caused a crash when attempting to sending the short description line.

* Bug fix: all rooms were being updated every tick, not just rooms that have an event.  Added an 'active room set' to
the room manager that tracks which rooms need to have their event processing routine called.

* Bug fix: teleporting to a non-existent room caused a crash, because the room loading routine was not returning NULL.

* Added support for weight in grams.  The 'weight' keyword specifies a weight in 500 gram units, while the
'weight-grams' keyword specifies a weight in grams.

* Fixed AdvancementStone and BandageBox pi_initialise() routines.

* Miscellaneous other fixes to plugins.

* Cleaned up plugin server code so that the instance data is stored in the plugin's BasePtr, not in the PluginPtr.  This
allows the Plugin to act as a template for all instances with regard to events accepted.

	- created living_report_death() message that now does this.

* Bug fix: the shape command with the descriptive HP style didn't reset the colour to ANSI_NORMAL.

* The "Extras/connect_message" file, if it exists, is sent to the player upon login (except for those lines that begin
with '#' or '%').

* Disable weapon breakage.

* Rewrote the combat system to make it a little simpler.

* Removed the test_object_hierarchy module since it has now served its purpose.

* Cleaned up living_attack_natural_weapon() to take a BodyPartTemplatePtr for the natural weapon part rather than an
index.

* Implement line-break-point in spirit.c.

* Files: Makefile.* TODO STATUS src

* [  74478  170345 1810536] Build 798.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: removing a second updateable from the updateable manager fails to work.
	- hash key in the updateable manager hash table was the mStandardName, so objects with the same mStandardName could
not be distinguished.  Changed the updateable manager to use the ptr value as a hash key, and changed the base_hash()
routine to use object ID as the default hash scheme.

* Bug fix: examining a Thing resulted in an inappropriate "You must have certain alignment to use this ..." message.
	- the level requirements were checked against INT_MIN and INT_MAX instead of 0 and UINT_MAX.

* Bug fix: examine command does not work (as 'examine' or 'exa').
	- doesn't appear to be checking the alias field.
	- base_match_alias was broken.
	- seems to be a problem with corpses (don't respond to 'bones', 'remains' or 'corpse').
	- base_get_nth_contained_item() was incorrectly using base_foo() routines instead of virtual_foo() routines.

* Added code to turn 'examine room' into an alias for 'look'.

* Server uptime is now displayed.

* [  74963  171539 1825395] Build 770.

	- added an object disposal list to the server so that objects aren't destroyed in the event queue processing loop.

* Bug fix: cannot login again once a player has quit.
	- players weren't being removed from the table of active players.

* Thing breakage has been disabled for now.

* [  74815  171259 1822017]

* Bug fix: advance_beyond_object() had the strstr() call parameters round the wrong way.

* Bug fix: 'wield all' command ended up being a 'wear all' command.

* Bug fix: weapons incorrectly modified the kThingFlagWorn flag instead of kThingFlagWielded, meaning they did not
correctly auto-equip.

* Bug fix: damage messages were always returning the message for the least amount of damage.

* Bug fix: there was a bug in the callback routine for cleaning out references to a dead living in the mud_manager
module.

* Bug fix: mud_manager_verify_object() was unimplemented.

* Bug fix: new player races weren't displaying because none were player races.

* Bug fix: weapons don't provide a damage message when used to attack.
	- fixed living_report_weapon_damage() routines.

* Bug fix: loaded armours don't offer any protection.
	- the maximum excess was being set incorrectly in thing_finish_loading().

* Bug fix: damage messages now use the part template's description rather than the name.

* [  74151  168083 1789178]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* When loading, distinguish between begin-object and include-object.  "include-object" is for references to items in the
standard library, possible with overriding lines in the area file.  "begin-object" is for items that have been saved
completely in the area file and do not need to load from the standard library.

* monster_finish_loading() now logs a NOTICE message instead of assert'ing when a monster has no race.

* living_set_natural_stat() only checks racial stat maximums if the monster has a race (it may not while it is loading).

* Bug fix: object loading was advancing past the 'end-object' line twice instead of once, causing every second object to
be missed.

* Bug fix: 'eq', 'equip' and 'equipment' commands were missing from category_two_commands.txt.

* Added Agent 'test' commands.

* Bug fix: agent_parse_category_one_command() was not called because the player overrides overwrote the agent overrides.

* Bug fix: monsters weren't having their standard events installed.

* Bug fix: when attacking, the weapontype name was being used instead of the body part name and so the race couldn't
find the correct body part template.

* Bug fix: Agents had their update events installed with an offset rather than an absolute server tick.

* living_finish_loading now correctly initializes the healthy and injured body part sets.

* Bug fix: Damage message sets were attempting to retrieve messages from empty sets instead of returning NULL.

* Living body parts are now either healthy (100%) or injured (otherwise).  Unusable body parts have negative structure
points.

* [  74094  167869 1787198]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Minor changes relating to object loading.

* Simplified the object loading "load_within_standard_text()" and "parse_line()" routines.

and ensure commands work.

* Refactored 'quit' command code.

* [  73735  166631 1776973]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* [  70406  158316 1701732] Started work on the Plugin API.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bug fix: player_manager now correctly parses player/agent files.

* Bug fix: kg_set had an off-by-one bug when checking set item indices (they're zero-based internally but one-based

* [  69719  156363 1680522] .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	./category_two_commands.txt

* Finished porting SMLivingState.

* Cleaned up slashlex further.

* Finished porting SMCommand.

* Moved command_parse_table.[ch] to command_table.[ch].  Suspect it is completely unnecessary (used for parsing before
slashlex).

* Improved slashlex parser.  It no longer allocates memory for SlashlexObjects ({name, ordinal} combinations), using
static storage while parsing and storage in the SlashlexCommand structure when done.

* created .indent.pro file containing indent options:

	indent -l400 -bad -bap -bl -bli0 -bls -cbi0 -cli2 -cs -di1 -fc1 -i4 -npcs -nsob -psl -ts4 -ut

This requires indent-2.2.9 since the version that comes with Mac OS X is old.

* Use gperf to generate lookup functions for category one commands (those with no in-game effect):

	1) Ensure category_one_commands.txt is up-to-date.
	2) Run gperf:
	
gperf --language=ANSI-C --readonly-tables --hash-fn-name=hash_category_one_command
--lookup-fn-name=is_category_one_command --random --enum --compare-strlen --debug category_one_commands.txt 1>
category_one_commands.c 2> category_one_commands.log

	3) [Optional] run indent on the "category_one_commands.c" file.
	4) Copy contents of "category_one_commands.c" to "living_virtuals.c".

* Use gperf to generate lookup functions for category two commands (those that use the slashlex parser):

	1) Ensure category_two_commands.txt is up-to-date.
	2) Run gperf:
	
gperf -D --language=ANSI-C --readonly-tables --hash-fn-name=hash_category_two_command
--lookup-fn-name=is_category_two_command --random --enum --compare-strlen --debug category_two_commands.txt 1>
category_two_commands.c 2> category_two_commands.log

	3) [Optional] run indent on the "category_two_commands.c" file.
	4) Copy contents of "category_two_commands.c" to "living_virtuals.c".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Working on agent_command_manager and command_manager

* Refactor initialisation tasks into:
	- one-shot/hard: those performed once only at process startup (e.g. virtual tables).
	- repetitive/soft: performed on startup and restart.
	
* Refactor shutdown tasks into:
	- one-shot/hard: those performed once only at process exit.
	- repetitive/soft: performed on shutdown and restart.
	
The model is:

	PROCESS STARTUP - hard_init() - { soft_init() -RESTART/SHUTDOWN- soft_exit() }+ - hard_exit() - PROCESS EXIT

* Move get_type routines from foobar_overrides.c to foobar_object.c.

* base_finished() completed.

* Working on base_virtuals.c: up to base_update().
