Server Fixes

--Fixed baby teleportation glitch.  Now if there's no place to drop a baby, 
  they go where you are standing instead of being thrown.

--Babies born outside rift area don't count toward survival requirement for
  determining group failure.

--Fixed offspring selection code to balance male and female babies, even for
  races that have different numbers of male and female characters (before,
  redhead and black mothers had 75% boy babies, now they have 50% like they
  should).

--Added support for an Eve window of time at the beginning of an arc.  Eves can
  only spawn during that time.

--Disabling baby-survivial-age based apocalypse trigger, and replacing it with
  a no-fertile-mothers-left (inside the barrier) trigger.

--Outside the Eve window, incoming babies will be born to SOME fertile mother,
  no matter what (despite lineage bans, birth cooldowns, etc.)

--Barrier radius 354, for roughly half a million tiles (tried 1/4 million
  which was too small, and 1 million, which was too big).

--Forcing all girls to be born if we're outside Eve window and number of
  fertile mothers inside the barrier falls below a threshold (1/15 of the
  population, or 2, whichever is larger).

--Fixed so that donkeytown can spawn Eves even after the Eve window closes.

--Fixed so that suiciding as a baby counts against your own genetic fitness
  score (a bug was preventing it from counting).

--Made fitness leaderboard window a setting, and set it to 24 hours (was 48
  hours before).  This is the recent-play window for displaying names on the
  leaderboard and computing rankings.

--Global failure condition is now baby/mother ratio of 6 or higher (counting
  helpless, < 3-year babies and fertile mothers).  So no more baby overload at
  very end.
 
--Support for new +hungryWork object tag, which requires and consumes a certain
  amount of food when the object is produced.  Applying this to chopping down
  most kinds of useful trees (at least ones that are sensibly hardwood, like
  maple, poplar, and rubber).

--Server biomes random generator reseeds itself after every map wipe.  A
  different map every time, with one of 4 billion possible seeds.

--Made server wait 8 seconds after signalling apocalypse, to give clients
  plenty of time to white-out.

--Fixed so that non-cursed babies don't get born to cursed mothers after Eve
  window closes.

--Fixed so that during 2-hour eve window at start of arc, players outside
  barrier cannot have babies (so that they have to escape fresh during each
  new arc).

--You can now curse people in other families, but only if you utter the curse
  in their language.  This means that over multiple generations of
  co-existence, where subsequent generations of babies learn more and more of
  the language, you can curse that family in plain English, eventually, because
  they can understand your plain English.  But before that, you can utter the
  curse in their language directly (or join in a curse that they are carrying
  out by repeating what they said in their language.  For example, DANCH LEASIE
  STEADGED was one translation that I saw for CURSE TOBY JONES.)

--Server logs every player-caused change to map, for wondible's potential use
  in time-lapses.

--If server starts up and finds that it's map seed file has been wiped, it
  assumes this is a manually-started fresh arc, and reports the end of the
  previous arc to the arc-tracking server.

--Server map-change-log includes floors.

--Biome map gen code overhaul.  Testing new topographical placement.  Swamps
  surrounded by grass surrounded by prairie.  Snow surrounded by mountain
  surrounded by desert surrounded by jungle.  Every grassy area is a good
  settlement spot, because it's always next to a swamp.

--Disabled plane flying over rift.  People escaping early makes it impossible
  to test properly.




Version 251    2019-July-25

--Fixed weird initialization of OwnerInfo structure.

--Support for +noHighlight tag on objects (blocking mouse-over highlights,
  which look weird on the rift object).



Server Fixes

--Another work-around for the Steam bug.  Manually verify that the latest
  steam build ID is correct before building.

--Long term non-look map culling (live reclamation by nature) disabled.

--Added an impassible barrier at a adjustable square radius.

--Eve spiral resets to 0,0 when it gets too close to the barrier.

--Adjusted Eve spiral jump to 50 (from 250) and set barrier radius at 250
  (500x500 square).  The smaller spiral fits nicely in the barrier square.

--If no baby lives to age 15 for 60 straight minutes (on a server with at least
  15 active players), then an apocalypse is auto-triggered.  This means the
  barrier square is out of resources necessary for survival.





Version 248    2019-July-18

--Fixed crash in crafting hints if an object is picked up that has no 
  transitions.

--Support for adjusting ground tile edge blur at runtime in settings folder.

--Fixed rapid character flipping glitch when walking on a road with a
  wide-blocking object on it.  Fixes #352

--Fixed crash when specified emotion object ID does not exist.




Server Fixes

--Server now allows authenticated re-connect through no matter what,
  force-disconnecting the existing connection if its still seen as connected.
  This will eliminate LOGIN FAILED when trying to reconnect quickly (before the
  server has seen the connection break), BUT it will also allow someone else
  with the same login credentials (like a friend you gave your account key to)
  to login and hijack your game (and force you to disconnect).  This is an edge
  case that will almost never happen, so it's best to honor all connection 
  requests and assume they came from the legit account owner.  Fixes #345

--Fixed implementation of Bresenham's Line Algorithm to handle cases where y
  changes faster than x (vertically-oriented lines).  This fixes blocked kill
  shots and long-distance item uses from tight vertical angles.  Fixes #350

--Fixed rounding issues that could affect fitness ranking.  Fixes #351

--Fixed so that you can swap held items into full clothing containers.
  Fixes #353

--Getting fed by someone else can never break your YUM chain.  Getting fed a
  yummy food by someone else will increase your chain and give you the normal
  bonus.  Getting fed a MEH food will not affect your chain, but you won't get
  the bonus.  This means you can't grief someone's YUM chain, and through
  collaboration, you can preserve each other's YUM chains while waiting for
  more yummy foods to be available.  Fixes #354

--Fixed so that baby carried away from AM transmitter doesn't still transmit
  voice.  Fixes #355



Version 246    2019-July-5

--Fixed crash if email blank on login screen when score fetch attempted.

--Fixed suffix for 11th, 12th, and 13th rankings.  Thanks Twisted.

--Fixed client ignoring DENIED from fitness server.

--Can now swap items in a full container.  Related to #340

--Right-clicking bare ground near an object while on a horse now swaps the
  horse with that object, making it consistent with other swapping behavior.
  Related to #340

--Fixed character getting stuck in eating animation when double-clicking to
  eat.  This potentially also fixes moonwalking, but I haven't confirmed that.
  Related to #309

--Fixed so that new graves correctly replace vanished graves at same location.
  Fixes #343  Thanks Twisted.

--Added additional movement fix to Justin L's previous pull request.

--Fixed double sound playing (2x as loud, with phase interference) when putting
  on clothing that contains something.

--Added support for red ! speech balloon to accompany certain important off
  screen sounds (like murder scream).  Fixes #349




Server Fixes

--DIE babies don't affect genetic score of their ancestors (but affect
  themselves).

--Fixed bug in interleaving of requests to genetic fitness server, resulting in
  stale sequence numbers (and thus offspring not getting logged properly).

--Eves and tutorial players no longer contribute to a player's genetic score.

--Fitness server now discards old offspring records and lives that have fallen
  off the end of client's display lists anyway.

--Fixed rare case of visually changing biome.  Fixes #341  Thanks Alec Y.

--Blocked default transitions from happening at a distance, to prevent modded
  clients from using distant-use objects (like bows and arrows) to open doors
  at a distance.  Fixes #342

--Fixed objects getting stuck between decay transitions when you walk away and
  come back (before, touching the object would finally trigger the pending
  transition).  Fixes #337

--Handle a special clothing removal case more intelligently.  If left-click
  does a special clothing action (like remove sword), then it used to be
  impossible to take off the clothing (without doing the special action first),
  because right-click was reserved for removing stuff from clothing.  Now, if
  clothing slots are empty, and left-click maps to a special clothing action,
  right-click will remove the clothing.  Note that it's still impossible to
  remove clothing with full slots that also has a special bare-hand action
  (because right and left click both do something already).

--Fixed row index in lineage server.  Fixes #348



Version 245    2019-June-28

--Support for new genetic fitness score across lives, ranking, leaderboard, 
  and genetic history display inside client.




Server Fixes

--Whoops... totally forgot to update killEmotionIndex.ini server setting.
  Murder Mouth should work now.





Version 243    2019-June-21

--Better randomization (less repetative) of multi-sound sets by shuffling
  sounds, playing them in that order, and then reshuffling (instead of picking
  a different random sound each time, which can lead to lots of repeats).

--Support in editor for pasting a single sound onto the end of a sound set
  without replacing it.

--Client can now play animation sounds from a character's emote.

--8/12 display for lives remaining (suggested by Dodge).

--Finally fixed lurking wrong-grave-info bug (triggered when you swap a bone
  basket with something that's on the ground where an old grave has already
  decayed away).  Fixes #338




Server Fixes

--Fixed issues with other forced-emots (like snowball splats) interruping the
  KILL-state angry face.  Now the angry face comes back when the snowball splat
  melts.

--Admin funciton for restoring all tokens back to starting level (useful before
  servers restart).




Version 242    2019-June-19

--Client support for in-game poll feature.




Server Fixes

--Fixed a crash when a baby tries to take a sword out of a backpack they are
  wearing.




Version 240    2019-June-14

--Fixed so that lives-left text never overlaps with re-detect or custom-server-
  disable buttons on login page.  Fixed so that re-dectect button doesn't
  linger after visiting settings page triggers a re-measure of FPS.

--There are now both Retry and Re-detect buttons when FPS mismatch occurs,
  allowing you to re-measure right then and there without restarting the game.
  We don't keep re-measuring every time we return to this screen, speeding up
  player login.  We wait to fetch life token data from the server until after
  the first FPS measurement is over, to avoid networking hiccups messing up the
  measurment.  Fixes #330

--Fixed memory leak.  Fixes #322

--Fixed so that if you click on an object that is surrounded NSEW but still
  accessible, you walk there, to that object's spot, and interact with it,
  instead of just walking there.  Fixes #318

--Protocol now includes lineageEveID with lineage and grave messages so that
  client can show DISTANT RELATIVE for relatives and graves that are further
  away than the 20 generation cuttoff.  Fixes #317

--Fixed memory leak in killMessage.  Fixes #311

--New /DISCONNECT command in client for testing.

--Added support for sprites that disappear when an object is contained.
  Fixes #282



Server Fixes

--Fixed so that empty tiles that used to contain a natural object are restored
  when map is culled back to natural state.  Thanks Alec.  Fixes #332

--Reduced map database pollution with unecessary 0-values (before, we would 
  clear a tile's contained items, setting its num-contained to 0 in the db,
  every time an item was picked up from that tile, even if the item that was
  picked up contained nothing---now, we check that there are contained items
  there to clear before clearing them and inserting a 0 for num contained in
  the database).  This cuts the number of database entries in half in many
  situations (thus reducing the disk size of the database dramatically).
 
--If you disconnect and reconnect when you have 0 lives left, you are no longer
  blocked from logging in to resume your last life.

--Fixed bug where you could enter the kill-intent state against family members
  when holding the sword, and if you ever got close enough, the server would
  generate an endless flood of update messages for the failed kill action,
  overload network connections, and leading to disconnects.  Now you can't even
  enter the kill-intent state if the weapon you are holding is not applicable
  to your target.  Thanks Laccy.  Fixes #320

--Can no longer trigger a transition for warn clothing that takes it to an
  unwearable state (for example, hitting crown with hammer to turn it back into
  an ingot while you're still wearing it).  Fixes #310

--No more tutorial players in name logs.  Fixes  #333

--Fixed typo in square root of two in server code.  Fixes #325

--Fixed disappearing springs caused by map cache not being aware of grid
  placement status.  Fixes #319

--Trees and other permanent objects regrowing destroy sections of underlying
  roads in natural reclamation.  However, surface non-permanent natural objects
  (stones, iron, etc.) will re-occur on top of the road.  Fixes #334

--No language barriers on low-pop servers.  Fixes #314

--Making sure REMV action is grid adjacent.  Fixes #312 

--Monument stats include year now.  Fixes #307

--Fixed calculation of distance for fleeing/chasing animal movement.  Fixes #306

--If you quit the client to disconnect and then reconnect as a twin, it will
  now kill your old self to make room for your twin (it used to confusingly
  reconnect you to your old life, and let your partner through as a lone twin).
  Fixes #305

--Fixed cause of ghost players who just stand there but aren't really there.
  Fixes #299

--Smarter code when swapping shoes.  Swaps held shoe with non-matching shoe
  first, and if both shoes are non-matching, pays attention to which shoe you
  clicked on.  Fixes #297

--If name of Eve or baby not unique within past two hours on server, closest
  unique name chosen instead.  No more roman numeral suffixes.  Fixes #283



Version 238    2019-June-8

--Support for limited number of life tokens per player, with more tokens
  earned every hour that passes.




Server Fixes

--We now add a new Eve whenever existing families have more than 15 players
  each on average.

--Lineage server trims newlines from death cause description.

--People without last names can be cursed.  Fixes #302

--Fixed a memory leak in murderPerpEmail.

--Support for 'kill' result emots that are non-lethal and don't make you drop
  what you are holding through new no_replace tag.  Snowball splats now work
  this way.

--Stone road not culled (allong with stone walls) during map reclamation by
  nature.

--Rolled back change 7292535f9fca5333bff52f3ba9038b530ea77273, so max birth
  cooldown is 5 minutes again.

--Rolled back changes 10e9b49dca89cd9e50895a883a0e98c9ab9e0f89 and
  b33eae6c249103b32b4c0163bb5fe1e57c1d3a35, so mother's birth cooldown only
  resets if she picked up a SIDS baby, and doesn't reset if most recent baby
  died due to neglect.

--Partially rolled back change 2419cdf75a3d64d2c637851434763c84efdd7649 so that
  suicide triggers area ban like it did before, but family skip list is still
  functioning too.  Thus, suicide has a compound effect of making you skip the
  family until you run out of families AND ban yourself from that area.
  Figured leaving skip list code in place for now is fine, instead of tearing
  it out completely.

--Disabled latest Eve spring grid placement close to civ, and re-enabled old
  Eve spiral.

--New Eve spiral behavior:  If center of spiral hasn't been seen in a long
  enough time that it has likely been culled, we restart the spiral again from
  the center.  This prevents the spiral from getting endlessly bigger, and
  brings Eves closer together again periodically, as the center of the map gets
  culled.





Version 235    2019-May-29

--Fixed one cause of rubber-banding player movement in client.  No need to
  navigate all the way back to start of a new path sent by server if we're
  closer to a spot in the middle of the path.

--Fixed so that other players never slow down in their movement to match
  server timing, but still speed up if necessary.  (It's always okay for
  another player to arrive at their destination early, client-side.)



Server Fixes

--Changes to function of /DIE.  Can no longer use it to cycle through all
  families and force yourself to be an unecessary Eve.  Eve only spawns if
  there are really no available motehrs for an incoming baby.  /DIE adds this
  family to your family skip list.  If you eventually cycle through all
  families, so that you've skipped them all, and none are left, your skip list
  is cleared.

--When the server has 15 or more simultaneous players, 200 map database entries
  are examined every periodic server step (4x per second), and any entries in
  regions that have not been seen by players in 8 hours are set back to their
  natural state.  Depending on the size of the database, walking through all
  entries can take quite a while (the current bigserver2 database has 25
  million entries, so that would take 8 hours at the current rate).  Thus, the
  actual decay-back-to-nature time will be at least 8 hours, due to the time it
  takes to walk through all database entries.  Also, a group of tiles will
  potentially clear in an uneven sequence, based on their order in the
  database.  Thus, partial ruins are possible.

--Don't spawn non-cursed Eve near donkey town.

--Always reset mother's birth cool down if baby does /DIE, whether ever held
  or not.

--Mother's birth cool-down instantly resets when her most-recent baby dies of
  any cause.

--Max birth cool-down for mother is 3 minutes instead of 5 (mean 1.2 minutes
  instead of 2 minutes).

--Ancient stone walls are left standing during 8-hour-no-look map culling.




Version 234    2019-May-25

--Fixed long-standing bug when something decays in the hand of a moving player,
  causing a bad player update message to get sent, making their position revert
  on other clients.

--On SHIFT-click to kill, allow missing by up to four tiles (finding closest
  person and calling them the target) to avoid the annoying "drop your weapon
  by accident" game when you're trying to click on a moving target.

--Fixed long-standing bug that would defer mid-move player change until after
  their move completed.



Server Fixes:

--Query times listed on front page of family tree server.

--Reduced server step time to 1/10 sec max if there are active kill requests
  pending, so that even on servers with very few players, kills happen
  instantly when players cross paths.

--Added a work-around for a bug in move path validation that was causing valid
  moves to get rejected by server.  Fixed check for diagonal adjacent.



Version 231    2019-May-23

--Tiles that are drawn as non-flipped remember their non-flipped status, even
  if they change to flippable tiles later (so they don't flip back and forth
  in an unappealing way).

--Client supports new KILL message semantics.

--Fixed a glitch where other players showed doing animation when their held
  object passively changed.

--Fixed glitch on auto-click at the end of very short paths.

--Applied fixes for various movement glitches.  Thanks Justin L.

--KILL action now requires SHIFT key held.  Instruction image updated.




Server Fixes:

--Fixed bug in deletion of underlying object if grave marker has no slots.

--Increased name match limit in family tree search to 30,000, and ensuring
  performance by forcing use of name column as index in all name queries.

--Code that accepts KILL command is more liberal in case of a moving target.
  Now it's very hard to miss with the bow, assuming that the target is within
  range and you actually click on them client-side.

--Fixed so that use-on-bare-ground objects that are groundOnly can't be used on
  floors.

--Added a script to automate end-user installation of a private server on Linux.

--Fixed so that Eves don't spawn near tutorial town.

--Fixed so that VOG doesn't see language-mapped phrases.

--Fixed so that spring placement not blocked by objects to the south.

--Improved thermal model for buildings.  Now using a 13x13 heat grid instead of
  8x8, to support larger buildings.  We now detect a binary indoor/outdoor
  property for each player, based on being completely surrounded by walls,
  floors, and closed doors.  If indoors, the effect of a cold environment is
  halved, and the effect of clothing to protect from cold environments is
  doubled.

--Changed semantics of player KILL action server-side.  Instead of an
  instantaneous action based on player proximity that either succeeds or fails,
  the server remembers that the player is trying to kill that other player and
  forces an angry emote for their face.  If they ever get within range of the
  target player, the kill action is executed.  The kill state will get canceled
  if they drop their weapon, target someone else, or if their target dies of
  other causes.  Essentially, once you set a quest for blood on another player,
  if you ever cross paths with them, it will happen.  This dramatically reduces
  the effectiveness of dancing around, but doesn't undercut the advantage of
  range weapons (you can still run away from an attacker).  If two players
  attempt to kill each other simultaneously, the player that was put into the
  kill state first will succeed, if the players ever cross paths.

--Fixed missing fseek between fread and fwrite calls.  Thanks Justin L.
  Related to pull request #268

--Fixed bug in param order in call to getClosestOtherPlayer.

--If you didn't inherit a family name at birth, you get the family name of
  whoever is holding you when they name you.  Related to #227

--Standardized other-person-naming code, whether for held baby, or non-held,
  currently-nameless adult.  Baby inherits the family name of their mother at
  birth, or the family name of their namer otherwise.  Family name can differ
  from last name, depending on who named you, but your family name will
  resurface later down the line as a last name if your last name is lost. 
  Fixes #277




Version 228    2019-May-16

--Abbreviating more than 4 GREATS in grave names as 5X GREAT so that it doesn't
  go off the edge of the screen.

--Eve placed in random location at radius around spring, with home arrow
  pointing back to spring.  Client searches for initial home arrow further
  away, maybe way off screen, than before.




Server Fixes:

--Timeout to re-use previously-used Eve spring locations is 1 hour instead of 3.

--New map, with bug fix, too dense.  Restored old map spacing.

--Fixed bug in Eve grid placement that caused resorting to old spriral.
  Fixes #303

--Fixed so that trying to add food to a full backpack doesn't make you eat
  it by accident.  Fixes #304

--Support for on-worn-clothing transitions and bare-hand-on-worn-clothing
  transitions to allow sword to be added and removed from backpack in a more
  visible spot (not contained).

--Fixed rare server crash when a player connection breaks in middle of a
  multi-speech message server frame.  All speech messages from the frame
  should be sent in one message.

--Lineage server catches character name searches that match too many names, to
  avoid overly long query times.

--Map wiping script now checks ~/skipMapWipe.txt file, so certain servers can
  be flagged as never wiping.

--More dense Eve packing by instant-reusing spring sites for dead Eve lineages.

--Lineage ban now lasts 1.5 hours of living in game, or 3 hours max, even if
  not living in game (used to be 24 hours if not living in game).

--Fixed major array-bounds bug if you die and drop something in a crowded area.

--Babies can now learn other languages that are spoken around them before age 3.

--Babies inherit whatever portion of another language their mother learned
  while she was a baby.  Thus, accents disappear trans-generationally,
  assuming that each new baby is exposed to even more of the language before
  age 3.

--Upped the learning window to age 6.  Three years with mom, three years 
  wandering the village to hear others speaking.

--Fixed bug that prevented eating when clicking on clothing with no slots.

--Support for special DIE baby grave, on ground or held, that can decay faster.

--If you put a sword-backpack on a baby, they can no longer draw the sword.

--Eve grid search centered around some living person, chosen at random.
  Becasue big towns have more people, they will end up with more Eves around
  them.





Version 223    2019-May-10

--Fixed bug that was causing inherited home marker position (closest marker
  visible on screen during spawn) to get deleted.




Server Fixes:

--Manually-triggered server object survey (objects around living players).

--Handled case where ticket server check not required, and thus curse status of
  player might be unknown (birth of a baby was blocked in that case, forcing
  all players to be Eve).

--Fixed bug in unblocked path detection that was allowing arrows to shoot
  through walls on diagonals.  Thanks Tarr.

--Different Eve lines speak different languages with bi-directional filter.

--New Eve placement on natural spring grid, with auto-home-marker for Eve.

--childSameRaceLikelihood now 100%.  Races with 3 members are not forced to
  have children of the neighboring race.

--Support for deadly objects that work on other family only.




Version 221    2019-May-5

--Server now reports death-age in GRAVE_OLD message, and client now displays
  how long person has been dead on grave mouse-over.

--Temporarily disable mushroom sprite remap effect when taking photos.

--PaperThreshold slider in import editor allows better control of feathering on
  transparent sprite edges.

--New protocol for server to tell client about valley spacing.



Server Fixes:

--Daily mass disconnect issue:  rolling the servers log.txt over was using a
  copy operation, and for a 2.9 GB log file, this was stalling the server for
  20 seconds.  Switched to a move operation instead, which is instantaneous.

--Fixed a bunch of bugs in way old graves and moving graves are tracked.

--Map pull mode now deals in absolute coordinates.

--Map pull mode now prevents player starvation.

--Fixed bug in removing owners that was causing the OW message detailing
  ownership change to be sent over and over (every server frame, which can be
  hundreds of times per second) during the 5-second grace period before we
  disconnect the dead player.  This overloaded the socket buffer for clients,
  causing them to disconnect.  Fixes #286

--Support for gridPlacement objects that are spread evenly on map (ponds).

--Fixed RIDICULOUS bug in map placement algorithm (that was mis-measuring tall
  objects to the south that would block placement of short objects, effectively
  blocking placement of short objects in the two tiles to the north of any
  object that sticks up above the tile center).  Map is now much fuller than it
  used to be.




Version 219    2019-April-27

--Fixed bug that cause chat sheet to not appear if another field was focused.
  Was caused by VOG code.

--Copying an off-screen player's flip orientation when insta-dropping an 
  object.

--Copying a player's flip orientation when use-on-bare-ground with a non-
  permanent result.




Server Fixes:

--You can no longer curses someone by name after they've been dead for 5 
  minutes.

--You can only curse your own family members, not people from other lines.

--Fixed coordinate leak in initial PM message.




Version 216    2019-April-19

--Fixed long-standing bug in transition generation when both actor and target
  have uses but one of them is marked as noUse (example:  digging potatoes
  without using shovel).

--Server and client support for owned property gates, and assigning ownership
  verbally to other players by name or by YOU for nearby players.  Mouse over
  gate for name of closest owner.




Server Fixes:

--Bare-hand actions no longer reset decay time if new object decays in same
  amount of time as old object (even if they decay into different things).



Version 215    2019-April-5

--Object editor supports pasting color over all sprites in object.

--Fixed bug causing some category-based transitions to not show up in editor.

--Sprite Trim Editor no longer clears trim when subsprites saved.

--Fixed client-side bug when two graves are "in the air" simultaneously and
  swap positions on the ground, which resulted in one of the grave's info being
  lost.

--Support for mousing over old graves from people who died before your birth.




Server Fixes:

--Fixed bug that skipped heat map recomputation if number of players on server
  shrank.

--Lineage server shows tables of deep roots.

--Family name sticks with you even if your mother is nameless or doesn't name
  you.





Version 212    2019-March-29

--Fixed bug in regular-click on permanent containers mapping to REMV always,
  even if container has a bare-hand action (like horse cart).  Fixes #261

--Client provides account key hmac in lineage server URL.

--Special case of object sprite subset detection (where sub object has a single
  sprite, it is a subset even if there are rotations, flips, or translations in
  the super-object).  Example:  removing onion from plate.




Server Fixes:

--Temporarily taking public life log data offline.  Will move it to a separate 
  server when I return from GDC.

--Temporary fix server-side for client basket and horse cart bug.

--Rolled back server-side temp fix, now that client-side fix is in place.

--Animals no longer spawn outside of their target biomes (along biome
  boundaries).  No more mosquitos in desert, seals in jungle.  Fixes #260

--Lineage server now requires account key hmac along with email search to
  verify email ownership and protect privacy.  (Disabled for now until client
  update.)

--Default server setting (settings/remoteReport.ini  = 0) now avoids reporting
  to central curse, lineage, and review servers.  This one setting overrides
  all others that control reporting.  People who are running vanilla server
  code will no longer be hammering my servers with bad requests.




Version 211     2019-March-16

--Fixed overlay negative scaling check in EditorImportPage.  Thanks Chard.
  Fixes #243

--scanf calls in soundBank and spriteBank were using .txt file extensions.

--Added work-around for corrupted bin_cache files instead of crashing.

--100 Hz added to possible frame rates.

--Left or right click now works to remove specific item from permanent
  container.  Fixes #257

--Support for sounds in emot objects.




Server Fixes:

--Fixed crash when player clicks to remove default object from container.

--No babies born to vog player.  Fixes #244

--Fixed so that lastCheckedBiome is correct, in certain cases where we call
  getBaseMap for neighboring cells too.  Thanks Chard.  Fixes #245.  Fixes #246

--Fixed so that on-chunk vog players do not become visible when walking onto a
   map chunk.

--Min rebirth distance reduced from 2000 down to 200.  Eve spiral jump radius
  is currently 250, so as the eve spiral passed near established towns, that
  Eve would be blocked from giving birth to players who lived recently in the
  nearby town.  2000 was too large.  200 is large enough to prevent you from
  being in born in the same specific town over and over, even if there are
  multiple family lines in that town.

--Clothing thermal model reworked to make it more intuitive.  Before, because
  clothing held in body heat, which was added each sim step, additional
  clothing had a non-linear effect on your steady-state temperature.  Adding or
  removing one shoe could dramatically change your temperature.  Now, no body
  heat is added each sim step.  Instead, the R-value of your clothing outfit
  closes the gap between your environment's temperature and your ideal
  temperature, but only in cold environments.  A perfect set of clothing with
  an R-value of 1.0 would bring a cold environment twice as close to perfect as
  it would be without clothing.  In other words, clothing alone gets you 
  half-way to perfect now in cold environments.  This effect is additve and
  linear, so in a cold environment, each piece of clothing that you add makes
  you a little bit warmer.  Also, the clothing R value still slows your
  temperature change, but only if your environment is further from perfect than
  your current temperature.  If you move into a more perfect environment (like 
  standing by a fire), your clothing will not slow down your temperature change
  to more perfect.  But when you move to a less perfect environment, it will
  slow down your temperature change.

--Prevented relative position leaking for far-away player in initial player
  update message.  Also fixed for far-away grave messages.  Fixes #251

--Support for forbidden emot indices right in middle of list instead of just at
  end of list.




Version 206    2019-March-1

--Game client now prints version number on startup.

--Client and editor no longer fight each other over bin_cache version numbers.

--Fixed so client left/right mouse differentation for pick-up vs. modify (like
  for stacks of bowls) only kicks in if the modify transition is a true
  modification, leaving something on the ground, and not just a pick-up change.
  This, in turn, fixes picking up piglets so that they go into their held
  state.  Fixes #240

--Made walking-on-road behavior consistent if blocking object intersects.  Now
  you always stop, instead of routing around in a poorly defined way and
  changing speed.  Fixes #242

--VOG.




Server Fixes:

--Fixed server crash due to not checking player disconnected status in one spot
  before sending a message to their socket.

--Lineage limit now applies to birth location instead of family line, to deal
  with multi-family towns (or twin-Eve founded towns).  After living a
  substantial life, cannot be born within 2000 tiles of that birth location
  until enough time has been spent living in other areas.  Fixes #222

--Removed some redundant code triggered when a permanent held object is swapped
  with something on the ground.  This code was causing an extra transition step
  to happen, making a horse's lasso disappear, for example.  Fixes #233

--Fixed incorrect variable declaration location in lineage server.

--Compounded snowball splats are no longer deadly.  Fixes #235

--Container removes and swaps now skips any item that player is not old enough
  to hold (knife on top of backpack no longer blocks access to other items).
  Fixes #238

--Now you don't die until your food goes negative, making empty-hunger-bar
  behavior consistent when you starve down to 0 or nurse down to 0.  When your
  hunger bar shows 0, you still have one pip's worth of time before death.  You
  only die when it is decremented FROM 0.  This also gives you a bit of extra
  warning time, generally.  Fixes #241




Version 204    2019-February-22

--Oh jeez... gotta fopen files in binary mode on Windows.

--Old bin_cache files need to be cleared after each update.  New implementation
  that uses latest version number in file name.



Version 202    2019-February-22

--Client prints stat about fraction of total sprites loaded.

--Dramatic speed up to client load time.  Pre-loading all sprites before LOGIN
  screen shown from a single compressed cache file (used to load sprites from
  separate files as-needed at map load time).  Now map loads almost instantly.

--Same compressed cache file technique for sounds and reverbs before LOGIN.
  Now the map loads instantly, since all assets are pre-loaded.

--Hid LOADING MAP progress bar screen in client, since it's no longer needed.

--Fix so that starting to cry again does not clear yellow color from yellow
  fever on baby (emotes in general are fine when crying, becasue crying baby
  doesn't have offical mouth or eyes that facial emots can hook onto, but
  blushing can still work).  Fixes #231




Server Fixes

--Fixed crash caused by wayward deletion of new sequence number string in twin
  code.

--Fixed clothing biome boundary dancing exploit (crossing boundary between
  hot/cold biome will never make you more comfortable (closer to target middle
  temp) than you were before crossing).  Clothing still reduces thermal shock
  from crossing biome boundaries, but only if you are already closer to target
  temp than thermal shock on other side of temp meter.  So if you are close to
  perfect, wearing clothing will help a lot when you cross a biome boundary
  from cold to hot.  If you are currently freezing (and in clothes), the
  clothing won't help much when you cross into a hot biome to reduce shock.

--Body heat now only applies in cold environments, so it won't cause
  overheating when wearing clothes in hot environments (clothes slow how fast
  you heat up in the hot environment, but don't hurt you by making you even
  hotter after you acclimate).

--If client sends malformed message, we now disconnect them instead of killing
  them.  Related to #194.

--If client sends more than 200 character without sending a message terminator,
  we treat this as a malformed message (to prevent a rogue client from filling
  up the buffer on the server).

--/DIE command now works even if you're not held, and clears mother's birth
  cooldown if she ever picked up up at least once.  Fixes #194

--/DIE command now works up to age 2, to compensate for slow map load times on
  some machines.

--Donkeytown threshold (which was fixed at a current curse score of 8 before)
  now goes down as a player's total curse score rises.  Once they hit 25 total
  points, it goes down to 7.  At 55, it goes down to 6.  At 65 down to 4.  And
  75 down to 3.  Note that there are only 27 people in the game with a total
  curse score of 55 or more.  A very tiny sliver of the total player
  population.  So, we now wait for the worst players to anger fewer people
  before sending them to Donkeytown.  Fixes #204

--Age rate (secondsPerYear) is now an adjustable server setting.

--Simplified thermal shock code in a way that reduces its impact.  Now when
  crossing from a too-cool to a too-hot biome (or vice versa), you shock to the
  mirror-image position on the temperature meter.  Clothing no longer affects
  this.  After flip-flopping on the temperature meter, you then gradually go up
  (or down) towards the biome's target temperature.  This gradual change is
  slowed by clothing, as usual.  This means that crossing a biome boundary will
  never cause a sudden increase in your hunger rate.

--Lineage bans now affect all twins.  If one twin cannot be born in this line,
  then none of them can.  Fixes #221

--Snowballs in backpack no longer push body temp off the negative end of the
  scale.  Clothing heat and held-item heat now handled in a more sensible way.
  Fixes #226




Version 199     2019-February-15

--Scene editor allows copy/paste of area containing floor and people.

--Updated tutorial to explain new heat system.




Version 198     2019-February-9

--Client preparing for furture protocol change where SN message contains an
  opaque string (including a random nonce) instead of a number.

--Home markers, which are invalid after flight, are cleared.

--/NET command to display network load stats in client.

--/FPS and /NET commands now show history graphs (last 100 seconds).

--FINALLY fixed a lurking source of client network lag, caused by the way that
  message frame batches were processed (while processing messages that are part
  of a frame, no message was processed, even if the entire frame was available,
  meaning that the number of display frames spent processing a message frame
  grows relative to the number of messages in the frame.  As frame rate drops
  on slower computers, this causes a message backlog to build up, especially in
  busy areas where there are lots of things happening every message frame.  We
  now process all available messages while we're waiting for the end of a frame
  to arrive.  Thanks to jrudolf for pinpointing the cause of this issue.
  Fixes #125





Server Fixes

--Paginated lineage server log listing.

--Lineage log has index for faster display.  Better logging.

--Whoops!  New server setup script was not putting serverID in right location.

--Download page lets you change your own email.

--Min-distance-at-speed for takeoff reduced to 2 (was 4) to make take-off
  easier.

--Made take-off at end of road explicit, so that you always go all the way to
  the end in one direction before taking off.

--Basket swap in a larger container wasn't working if both baskets contained
  same number of items.  Fixes #217

--Reflector fixed to update OFFLINE status of servers every 20 seconds, even
  when report isn't being loaded (before, only report would trigger an update
  to OFFLINE status of a server).

--Nearby landing pads no longer block eachother.  Instead, when taking off, we
  search for some pad in the chosen direction that is at least 250 away in
  either x or y.

--Partially-used objects are not restored to stale parts of map.  Fixes #206

--Server must update birth location of flying player to ensure that coordinates
  remain in low range to avoid GPU rounding errors (i.e., in case where player
  flies out to tutorial at coordinate x=10M).

--Players that were out of range before flight may come in range after flight.
  Server now sends a complete server-wide PU to flying player (the same as when
  player first connects), updated with new birth location (landing location).

--Calculating distance-squared when finding closest flight landing position now
  double precision (using ints isn't going to work for distances above about
  50K.

--Better logging of maxPlacementX and flights.

--Heat overhaul:  R values stack multiplicatively, not additively.

--Heat overhaul:  Separate fixed heat map produced by underlying biome
  (biomes no longer generate or absorb heat each step).

--Heat overhaul:  Biome temperature serves as starting air heat value for each
  cell in the simulation grid.

--Heat overhaul:  Floor insulates between air and underlying biome.

--Heat overhaul:  Air itself has a small R value to slow base propagation
  per sim step.

--Heat overhaul:  Biome temperature fixed at edge of simulation grid, instead
  of having a fixed 0.00 temperature sink at edge.

--Heat overhaul:  Heat produced by clothing (not currently used) summed as a
  separate step at the end, and doesn't count as a heat source in the 
  environmental simulation grid.

--Heat overhaul:  Player clothing simulated as separate step at the end, after
  simulating environmental propagation grid.

--Problem:  if tutorial is always placed at 2x max birth location, then if
  people fly to the tutorial and have a baby there repeatedly, the tutorial
  location grows exponentially.  Saw 10M, 20M, 40M, 80M, 160M, 320M in server
  log as people continued flying to tutorial and having babies there.  It will
  quickly overflow.  Now it is max birth location +400,000, so it grows
  linearly if people fly there and have babies there.  People can "chase" the
  tutorial area 5000 times before we need to worry about overflow.

--Fixed additional int overflows in server distance functions by switching to
  double precision.  This was potentially causing distant map changes to be
  sent to a player unecessarily, eating up bandwidth.

--Heat overhaul:  Player clothing now modulates how fast player body
  temperature moves toward surrounding temperature.

--Server implementation of SN protocol change, where we have a non-repeating
  nonce based on a server-side secret, instead of a simple sequence number.
  This fixes a potential security hole where private servers can harvest
  sequence-number/hash pairs and replay them to log into the real server as
  that player.

--Heat overhaul:  replaced simulation of cellular atomata heat grid with even
  heat spreading over enclosed airspace via convection and direct radiant heat
  based on distance from each heat source in airspace.  Still using 8x8 grid to
  measure airspace, which might fall short in larger buildings, but still feels
  much more intuitive than old system.  Biome heat contribution is also added
  int from player's position as a final step, so there's no biome boundary
  blending. 

--Heat overhaul:  moving to a temperature-affecting biome that is on the
  opposite side of "perfect" from you results in an instantaneous temperature
  shock, jumping to that side of the temp meter instead of tweening there
  through perfect.  This makes biome-boundary-dancing ineffective.  This
  effect is modulated by clothing though (it reduces the shock of stepping
  into the arctic or desert).

--Heat overhaul:  changed the mechanisms of fever.  Instead of heat produced by
  a held object (same as holding a hot coal or whatever), where it would be
  modulated by clothing R value (or in the old system, contained by it), heat
  from fever is a separate quantity that gets added in after all head
  computations for player.  Thermal shock reduction, based on clothing, is
  also disabled when you have a fever (so there's no punishment for wearing
  clothes when you head to the snow to cool the fever off).





Version 195     2019-January-31

--Changed projection for drawn mouse pointer (to further fix behavior on
  ultrawidescreen).

--Tutorial draws attention to vertical doors, which are hard to see.  Tutorial
  intro explains time commitment and gives death warning.  More explanation of
  YUM and MEH.

--Editor supports baking sprites that include color-adjusted sprite layers.

--Support for long-distance flying.



Server Fixes

--Reflector changed so that server assignment is not sticky for a given email
  address.  Each new life is a random re-roll among available servers.

--Added birth location offsets to AM receiver message positions.

--Reflector fixed so that offline servers aren't counted when summing current
  active server totals.

--Reflector now picks from weighted distribution of actually-alive set of
  servers, if some of the servers in the active set are offline.  Last-ditch
  effort code added to find SOME server for the player, if the weighted picking
  fails for whatever reason.

--Optimization: Don't need to do select at all on receive if timeout 0
  (using MSG_DONTWAIT anyway).  select was found to be a hotspot with profiler.

--Optimization: Profiler found 26% of non-idle time spent recomputing heat
  maps.  We were taking another step through list of players each time new
  messages arrived, meaning that we were looping through them faster and faster
  during busy times (in one estimate, processing heat maps for 130 players
  every second).  Now we process them at a fixed max rate, regardless of
  incoming message rate, of 2 players every 0.1 seconds (20 players per second
  during active times).

--Optimization: Exposed getMapObjectRaw externally so recomputeHeatMap can use
   it to avoid wasting cycles checking for decaying objects.

--Optimization: We were checking what each player was crossing every server
  step (and server steps happen faster and faster as the inbound message rate
  increases).  Fixed to only check what a player is crossing every 0.25 seconds.

--Removed a wayward continue.

--Optimization:  Don't check curse settings every stepCurses call.

--Optimization:  Only execute certain non-reactive parts of server step loop
  once every 0.25 seconds at most, not every loop (loop can run very fast when
  a lot of messages are coming in.

--Check in server code and cron job for read-only file system.

--Recomputing heat map for 20 players per second was a little slow.  With 200
  players, that means each player only gets their heat map updated every 10
  seconds.  Upped it to 80 players per second (each player gets updated every
  2.5 seconds when there are 200 players).  Also shrunk dimensions of heat map
  from 10x10 down to 8x8 (64% of original size, thus lowering computation load).

--A bunch of places in code were calling computePartialMoveSpot without
  checking whether player is moving first.  This allows a stale move path to
  get queried when player no longer moving (example:  flight destination
  reached).




Version 193     2019-January-17

--Code for transmission of speech through speech pipe objects.




Version 190     2019-January-11

--Fixed so that client sends correct number of tokens for LOGIN with blank
  email.  Thanks Andrew K.

--Added support for global triggers (for radio transmission).




Server Fixes

--Whoops... new reflector code was still using 50/50 coin flips for spreading
  servers, causing some players to fall of the end of the list and find no
  server to connect to.  Fixes #191



Version 188     2019-January-4

--Fixed swap of baskets with different numbers of items in a larger container.
  Fixes #184

--Fixed tutorial wording to avoid confusion about Eve.  Fixes #185

--Min age for default actions (open door, rouse bear) now 3.  Fixes #186

--On reconnect, don't clear home markers unless we see a new player ID.
  Fixes #188

--/DIE command no longer blocks crafting hints for DIE when older than 2.
  Fixes #189

--Tutorial button on main menu page (appears after you beat tutorial).
  Fixes #190




Version 187     2019-January-3

--Snowball splat face emote fixed.  Forgot to commit the emotionObjects.ini
  settings file.  Fixes #177

--No more jaundice glitch on hat or apron.  Fixes #172




Server Fixes

--Improved reflector code to spread players evenly amoung active servers
  (thanks CrazyEddie).  Fixes #171

--Wounds, like animal bites, can now replace sickness (though effects of
  sickness are not eliminated until wound is fully healed).  Fixes #162

--Missing global variable in curse server.

--Fixed so that forced-drop when moving (when attacked by animal) drops
  relative to current position and not destination.  Fixes #165

--Fixed so that locks/keys don't revert to ? state when they reside in a
  container during server shutdown.  Fixes #180




Version 185     2018-December-27

--Survivable apocalypse (full map wipe while players are still alive) that
  doesn't spread to other servers.

--Eve old-age death-location respawn blocked if there are 4 or more fertile
  females on server.  That is supposed to be a solo-play mechanic.

--Whoa!  Huge bug in Eve death location for Eve respawn.  Was not actually
  using her death location, but instead the weighted average of recent
  placements on the map.  This would make her respawn in some other
  more-developed village later, which is why there was so much player
  confusion around this mechanic.

--Again, whoa!  Huge bug in temperature-based weighting for mother fertility.
  Was using abs instead of fabs in formula, resulting in all mothers having the
  same weight, regardless of temperature.

--Added yum-multiplier component to fertility weighting (having the highest yum
  multiplier on the server is equivalent in weight to having a perfect-middle
  temperature, and having both results in double weight---warm mothers who are
  eating a variety of foods will be much more likely to have babies than cold
  mono-diet mothers).

--Fixed other places in code where abs was used instead of fabs.  These were
  likely not causing bugs.

--Fixed bug in server code where apocalypse setting blocked monument triggers.





Version 183     2018-December-20

--Whoops... various headless helper apps failed to compile.  Fixed.

--Added /FPS command in client to toggle FPS display while living a life.

--Added /PING command in client for measuring round-trip latency to server.

--Support for additive blend on sprite layers (candle glow).

--When searching for a matching body part, now search top-down instead of
  bottom-up (one new character has two sets of eyes in old age, and we want to
  find the top ones).

--On inserting one object into another in editor, default to bottom layer of
  inserted object as picked layer.

--Support for head layer of emote (on top of everything, like a hat).

--Copy Child Chain in animation editor now copies entire child tree.

--Added version of child tree copy button that randomizes phases.

--More improvements to crafting hint filters.  Don't show transition matches
  that produce a precursor as an unlisted side-effect (for example, making a
  shoe leaves a needle in your hand, but this is irrelevant if you're trying to
  craft something that has a needle as a precursor).  Don't limit shown
  transition based on depth of current object.  Instead, cut off precursor
  chain search from filter target if chain passes through current object.
  This allows us to see that we need to put two pieces of cut rabbit fur
  together to make four in order to make bellows (even though four pieces is
  shallower in the crafting tree than two pieces).





Server Fixes

--AllowedEmotRange server-side to block clients from manually requesting
  jaundice emot.  Related to #170.

--Fixed bug in computing decay time for wound.

--Improved semantics of wound-and-weapon transitions in terms of how they
  affect what's left in the hand of the perpetrator (wound transition can now
  specify a held-weapon change if no other trans is present).




Version 181     2018-December-13

--noFlip object property now affects object drawing deeply, even when object is
  contained in a flipped container.

--Fixed so that face portion of emot (e.g., yellow fever face) can be drawn
  even if player doesn't currently have a sprite called Eyes (e.g., when they
  are a crying baby).  Fixes #145

--Mouse-over highlights now shown when mousing over worn clothing.  Fixes #146

--Animation editor allows fade osc of 8 hz max (was 6).

--Animation editor can now copy animation from one object to another with
  right-click even if they are not exact sprite matches, as long as the source
  object is a subset of the target object.

--Animation editor allows all osc of 8 hz max (was 6).

--Added field that allows applying speed multiplier to entire animation.

--Rideable objects can have sprites layers that are drawn behind player.

--Fixed so that objects that are drawn in separate layers are not time updated
  twice per frame.

--Fixed issue with game waiting for newly-launched web browser on Linux.




Server Fixes

--randSource for probability transitions (fishing and oil) now seeded with time
  instead of fixed seed, so that repeated short-run server testing allows me to
  get a feel for a given probability distribution.



Version 177     2018-November-30

--Better client behavior in case of real, 2-way connection break with server.
  If we haven't heard anything from server for 10+ seconds, and our action has
  been pending for 5+ seconds (bouncing), then declare connection broken.  Old
  behavior caused it to wait until receiving some kind of message from server
  before attempting PING/PONG, so it would wait forever if connection was truly
  broken.  Note that a truly, truly broken connection would eventually be
  detected in the network layer, but this can take a long time.  We still need
  to deal with 'soft breaks' in a sensible way.

--Improved a bunch of little rough edges in the tutorial.  The camera-freezing
  section is now much more clear and fool-proof.  There are multiple warnings
  about the last optional area NOT helping you to pass the tutorial (at least
  two recent Steam reviewers got stuck trying to forge an axe, thinking that
  was required).

--Finally fixed glitch that causes other player's head to be behind the object
  in the tile to the north of them (move truncation bug).
 



Server Fixes

--Server now clears any objects with names that start with @ at startup
  (hotfix for wayward pile category objects in map).

--Fixed so that items contained in baby clothing aren't lost when baby /DIEs.
  Fixes #141




Version 174     2018-November-29

--Fixed overlaps in UI of scene editor.

--Scene editor move timing now based on frame count instead of wall-clock time,
  so move timing is perfect even when running slower (like when outputting
  frames).

--SpriteTrim editor now supports freehand trim.

--Huge improvement to mouse interface:  when clicking a non-permanent object
  (that can be picked up), where a bare-hand action also applies, left/right
  buttons now differentiate.  Left to pick up, and right to execute the
  bare-hand action.  This allows single-object stacks (like tortillas, sliced
  bread, plates) to be be picked up (left click) or have the top item removed
  (right click). Fixes jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7#53

--Fixed edge case of sprite subset detection when zero layers don't match
  (fixes shaft creation sound playing when two long shafts are pulled apart).



Server Fixes

--Shrank next Eve jump to 250, down from 500.  Smaller Eve spiral, more likely
  to be interaction between villages.

--Server skips sending apocalypse check to reflector if apocalypse disabled
  locally.

--Fixed so that yellow fever doesn't heal wounds (nor does one kind of animal
  wound replace another).  Fixes #142.



Version 172     2018-November-22

--Client version checking logic fixed to handle case where server binary
  version is behind our binary version, but ahead of our data version number.

--Support for drawn (emulated) mouse pointer on ultrawide displays to overcome
  mouse coordinate skew.  Drawn cursors can also be scaled by end-user, to
  further help people in high-res or low-vision situations where the native
  SDL pointer (even the 32x32 bigPointer) is too small.  See SETTINGS screen.

--FAMILY TREE button on Menu screen that launches a browser to show your
  personal recent lives.




Server Fixes

--Reduced timeouts in reflector from 6 seconds total down to 0.25 seconds total
 (24x shorter) to reduce the likelihood of 504 gateway meltdown when one server
 stops responding.

--Don't live track decays for objects added via mapDummyRecall tracking on
  startup.  There were close to 200,000 moving animals on the map that were
  getting tracked when server1 and server2 started up.

--Skip tracking map changes during initial map cleaning.  Avoids activating
  motion on escaped horse carts (when they get cleaned as containers).

--Avoid re-adding contained and sub-contained objects if nothing has changed
  during map cleaning.

--Fixed busy wait on server when a ticket server request fails but doesn't
  close properly.

--Lineage server now supports filtering by email hash (so we can trigger
  searches by straight GET to a URL without revealing the user's email in the
  address bar).

--Diseases like Yellow Fever no longer compound to shorten death-stagger-time
  from a multi-bite.  Instead, there is no death stagger time for a disease,
  and if you recover before dying from the side effects, you always survive. 
  However, getting bitten again while sick will still extend your sickness time.




Steam Depot Hotfix

--Gave a bunch of settings files the userconfig Steam attribute.  Should fix
  the bug where some people need to redo the tutorial after every Steam update.




Version 169    2018-November-18

--Emergency hotfix.  We need to be able to update the client ahead of the
  server without version mismatch.




Version 168    2018-November-18

--Fixed bug that could result in spurious, false wild bug reports.  After
  pinging once, and getting a PONG back, we could mistakenly believe that we
  had received PONGs to future PINGs.

--Fixed glitch in radio button set (example:  twin count selection) where
  dragging could select more than one choice or no choices.

--Fixed memory leak when filtering crafting hints.

--Huge improvement to behavior of / crafting filters.  Hides all hints when
  none relevant, to avoid confusion.  Avoids showing recipes that use the
  desired object as an ingredient.  A bunch of other tweaks that just make the
  results more sensible and better.

--Hunger and tutorial chimes now obey SETTINGS sound volume slider.

--Fixed editor to handle baking of rotated non-square sprites correctly.

--Support for emots that have a face and body component.

--Emot protocol supports server setting optional emot ttl.

--Dying protocol supports optional sick flag (so blood not displayed on client).

--Highlight square a bit larger to contain top of rubber tree.




Server Fixes

--Fixed a memory leak when MOVE received while waiting for FORCE-ACK.

--Fixed a memory leak when swapping clothing.

--Fixed server crash when tutorial-twin players reconnect.

--checkIfServerRunning cronjob also makes sure server has sufficient disk
  space, and shuts it down gracefully if not.

--Caching of generated PHP from index.php for 2 minutes to reduce CPU load on
  web server.

--Hourly generation of failure report was a huge CPU hog (100% CPU for 5
  minutes straight).  No longer computing entire month (just past two days).

--Fixed server crash from held baby/adult mismatch.

--Server can read emot and food tags from wound description to trigger side
  effects of wound (an emot that goes along with it, or a modification to food
  capacity).



Version 167    2018-November-9

--Whoops... Game-breaking windows networking bug.




Version 166    2018-November-9

--Made it harder for Steam users to edit their account details by accident.




Server Fixes

--Improved robustness of networking code.  Have seen two server crashes due to
  corrupted socket handles being passed into FD_SET.  Not sure where the
  corruption is coming from, but added a check to ensure handle passed into
  FD_SET is well-formed, and bug report outputting code when it's not.  No
  longer storing socket handles on the heap, which should also help.



Version 165    2018-November-8

--Tore out the code that always shows the dotted line when held-mouse journey
  pathing.  Not satisfied with how it looks, and hopefully other solutions will
  emerge.

--Releasing mouse on held-mouse journey now makes you stop exactly where your
  character is standing upon release.

--Fixed the way other clients handle PU that is not at end of current path.
  Now correctly truncates current path so that character walks to that point.




Version 163    2018-November-7

--Holding SPACE freezes camera on the current map area.  Useful when moving
  back and forth between a small group of nearby objects (like when forging) so
  that you can click things more quickly and precisely (camera movement
  interferes with your efforts to position the mouse).

--Now showing dotted lines and X on path destination any time we're in
  held-mouse long-travel mode, even if the path is in a straight line with no
  detours.  This allows the user to predict and understand the behavior.

--Fixed issue with auto-clicking during held-mouse travel when auto-click lands
  on top of a tall object (was finding closest cell at base of tall object,
  causing path to veer off course).

--Moved biome tiles down and over by 32 pixels so that they line up with
  actual tile boundaries.

--Added special case logic that makes you stand behind a berry bush (or other
  permanent, non-blocking food source) when you walk to it from far away.  This
  makes clicking and eating multiple berries easier, becasue your character is
  closer.

--We only ignore clicks when holding speed-0 object if there's no bare-ground
  transition (fixes getting stuck with horsebitten snake).
  Fixes #117,  Fixes #102

--Support for forced creation sounds that always play, even if other
  same-trigger sounds are going to play in parallel (tipped horse cart sound
  can play at same time as biting snake sound).

--Allow baby to send JUMP messages every five seconds, instead of just once.
  Fixes #112.  Fixed baby wiggle direction when mother facing left.

--Don't use DROP message when clicking on self unless actually clicked on
  clothing.  Fixes #98

--Fixed shoes of rider appearing at (0,0) in world.
  Fixes jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7#50

--Moved some overlapping text up in transition editor.




Server Fixes

--Bring center of Eve spiral back to 0,0 whenver either x or y exceeds 100,000.
  Thus, coordinates won't keep growing boundlessly.

--Fixed an invalid read when generating death update for player who died of old
  age.

--Right-clicking an empty basket (or other non-permanent container) now picks
  it up (to make it consistent with loose right-click semantics for other
  objects).

--Right-clicking object on its potential stack-mate (e.g., stone on stone) now
  starts a new stack.  Feels like a "drop".

--Right clicking on a basket stack with a basket adds the basket to the stack
  (feels like a drop).

--Right clicking basket stack with bare hand removes basket.

--Fixed disappearing ground object when baby issues /die command.  Fixes #121

--Change to deadly on-ground object wasn't happening when riding over (example:
  snake goes into attacking posture).

--Fixed wound-healing exploit where stab wound would replace snake bite.  Now
  your first wound is the one that sticks with you and must be healed to save
  you.  Each additional wound still halves your death stagger time, though.
  Fixes #104.

--Support for groundOnly tag in object description to prevent object from being
  created on a floor.

--Fixed case where non-permanent held object (like goose) force-dropped
  (through death/wounding), where a ground transition applies.  No more stuck
  goose or piglet after a force-drop.






Version 161    2018-November-2

--New PING message that client can use to verify server is receiving messages.
  Sent before deciding whether to report a bouncing-forever bug.  At least some
  of these are spuriously caused by connections that break in one direction
  only.  It is only a true bug if we're receiving server responses to our
  messages, but the expected response to our action was not received. 
  PING/PONG lets us test this.

--Scene Editor now displays saved scene number.

--NO MATCH might be confusing.  Changed to NO FILTER MATCH.

--Limited filter string to 23 characters to avoid going off end of notepad.

--Support for new probability set cateogries, which allow transitions to
  produce a weighted set of random outcome objects.

--Fixed lack of sound played when use-on-bare-ground produces something on
  ground that shouldn't make a sound, but what's left in hand should make a
  sound (example:  tongs setting down ore should play tong creation sound).

--Multiplicative sprite layers now supported when baking object down into one
  sprite.  Only works if multiplicative layer does not overhang past edge of
  opaque areas of object.

--Was blindly using a returned internal vector while calling addTrans, which
  meant that the internal vector would become invalidated due to expansion.
  Unbelievable that this never caused a crash before now.

--Client ignores mouse clicks if you are holding a 0-speed object.  Currently,
  this is only used for fishing, while the line is in the water waiting.

--Support for objects that are side-access only.  Made ice-hold side-access so
  that fishing looks okay.




Server Fixes

--Server reports player's own id as killer id to lineage server in case of
  /die, and lineage server displays Sudden Infant Death as cause of death.

--Fixed lineage ban calcuation for /die babies and killers/victims.  Was
  living extra time in other lines by accident.

--Curse server now keeps people in Donkey Town for a fixed amount of time based
  on the total number of curse points that they've earned in their lifetime as
  a player.  First-time offenders are only kept there for 30 minutes.  The
  worst repeat offenders will eventually be kept there for five hours every
  time.

--Fixed bug in way curse token status was being updated.

--Finally fixed replacement of used objects and variable objects on server
  restart.  Server now saves a mapDummyRecall file, and uses that to restore
  the objects.  After server restart, partial stacks no longer become full,
  berry bushes no longer replentish, and locks no longer become generic locks.

--FINALLY fixed the sliding-penguin ice-hole proliferation bug.  Turns out that
  it was triggered by a biome boundary.  The penguin would find the ice hole,
  start transitioning to go into it, but then notice that it was across a biome
  bondary, and thus forbidden, but still keep the 'in ice-hole' transition.

--Fixed a bouncing-forever bug after reconnect.  If player is force-updated
  while disconnected (like set down as a baby), then when they reconnect, the
  server ignores their moves because they never sent their FORCE-ACK message.
  Fixed this by no requiring FORCE-ACK for disconnected players.




Version 160    2018-October-29

--/die command to trigger sudden infant death.  Triggered by baby player, but
  only when under 1 year old and currently held by mother.  Causes a lineage
  ban for the baby and instant reset of birth cooldown for the mother.

--Baby bones left in mother's arms after sudden infant death.

--Pre-loading of all direct-from-death grave objects to avoid partial-sprite
  pop-in.  Marked them all with fromDeath in description.

--Fixed so that when trying to reconnect, client stops using twin code (was
  already born as a twin before, so want to reconnect to that life).

--Fixed display of incorrect pattern-based transitions in transition editor.



Server Fixes

--Fixed busy-wait server-side, due to instant SocketPoll response on
  disconnected sockets, by removing them from Poll as soon as they disconnect.
  This was causing 100% CPU.

--Mother can only force-hold baby until age 1.

--Fixed server crash when player reconnects but tries to join a twin game.




Version 157    2018-October-26

--Client handles disconnection with better messaging (no longer describes it as
  death), and attempts reconnection when the user is ready.

--Instant local response to jump-out-of-arms attempt (baby wiggles a bit).
  This makes it feel much more responsive when you are perma-held by your own
  mother and click.

--Import editor now allows shift and ctrl for bigger jumps when paging through
  past imports.  Line layer accumulation is no longer the default (rarely used,
  and it was a pain to delete line layers when trying to page through).
  Instead, holding A key triggers adding a line layer, but replace is default
  when importing or paging through old imports.

--Dramatic speed up in object bank load by not counting live sound uses and
  expanding animation bank in batches of 100 instead of 1.  Result is 3.4x
  overall speed up in object bank loading, and 16x speed up for used object
  generation, and 2x speed up for variable object generation.  Was wondering
  why server startup was so much faster than client startup---it was because it
  has no animation bank, so dynamic object generation didn't require
  duplication of animation bank records.



Server Fixes

--Server now keeps disconnected players alive instead of killing them, allowing
  them to reconnect later and resume their life, assuming that they don't die
  of in-game causes first.

--Babies blocked from wiggling out of own mothers's arms until age 3.





Steam-specific updates

--Hide Post Review buttons on Steam version of client.

--Shift-Tab to go back through hints doesn't work on Steam (shows overlay).
  Z-tab instead.

--steamGateClient now waits for game to exit (fixes Steam playtime tracking).



Version 155    2018-October-19

--Scene editor now displays behind-player sprite layers correctly.

--Walls with container slots (sign walls) now drawn in front of other walls,
  so signs not covered up.  Fixes #74

--Lowered the minimum height for objects that are mouse-through-able (that
  allow hidden objects behind to be clicked).  Fixes #82

--Fixed double sound play when use-on-bare-ground produces something new in
  hand and on ground (example:  unroping calf).

--Support for displaying cursed player's excess curse score to them.

--If we have a newer data version than the official servers, assume that
  servers are in the process of updating, and display that message instead of
  a confusing version missmatch message (Steam data update is pushed out before
  the old-version Odd servers are shut down).

--useSteamUpdate setting bypasses internal updater and displays QUIT message to
  user with instructions.

--Back to 10 seconds for wild bug reports.  5 is too short (sometimes there are
  5+ second network delays).

--Whoops... fix for multiple sounds playing failed to check for case when
  target object doesn't change (exmaple: cooking over hot coals).
  Fixes #67,  Fixes #68



Server Fixes

--Default bare-hand action doesn't apply when holding something if the target
  object is a container (we want to insert item into container in that case).
  Fixes #64

--Use-on-bare-ground action automatically applies when swapping held with item
  on ground, inserting held into container, or swapping held with container.
  Bare-hand pickup-style action automatically applies when removing item from a
  container or obtaining something new as the result of a swap.  This means
  that wild piglets and goose, which are containable, but still supposed to go
  through a transition when picked up or set down, do not get stuck in their
  held state when swapped or put in a container.  Fixes #66

--Fixed so that client EMOT requests are processed (just like SAY requests)
  while a player is moving or while held as a baby.
  Fixes jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7#23 

--Held baby can now be used to open doors, trigger carts, etc.  Fixes #75

--Improved logging around FORCE ack message failure.

--Players born cursed in Donkey Town no longer get a cursed token to spend.



Version 153    2018-October-12

--FINALLY found an additional cause of the bouncing-forever bug (stale MOVE
  messages from client that arrive at server after a forced-position PU has
  been sent to the client).  Added a new FORCE ack protocol, where client
  responds to the position forced by the server, and any intervening messages
  received by the server are ignored.  This allows the client and the server
  to get back in sync position-wise.

****
NOTE:  Rolling this out will require a special update process.
    1.  Update servers to latest code, including the current 
            requireClientForceAck.ini '0' setting.
    2.  Update client.
    3.  Check in requireClientForceAck.ini '1' setting for server.
    4   Run remoteServerGitPull.sh
--SPECIAL UPDATE PROCESS COMPLETE--
****

--Scene editor allows bigger jumps when paging through scenes.

--Fixed another source of the bouncing-forever bug.  PU messages that end moves
  weren't move-specific, so several moves that criss-crossed the same point
  could all have ending PUs that end at the same spot.  With network latency,
  an earlier PU could be misinterpreted as ending a later move, thus allowing a
  post-move action to be sent to the server and ignored (because for the
  server, the later move is still in-progress).  Fixed by adding a move
  sequence number to the protocol, so we know which move a given PU is ending.

--Related messages sent by server are now grouped by a FRAME message, so that
  they can be held by client and played together.  So, for example, in cases of
  packet delay, a pick up player result will not be displayed before the
  corresponding map change client-side.  Testing with artificial variable
  packet latency was showing all kinds of weird behavior client-side, and all
  of this is fixed now.

--Added reportWildBugToUser setting, so we can disable that easily for the
  Steam release.

--Wild bug, if there are any remaining causes of it, is now caught and cleared
  (or reported) in 5 seconds (10 was a long time to bounce).

--Fixed bug that was causing double-sound play when both target and held
  changed.




Server Fixes

--The bit of code that was enabling teleporters was dealing with a very narrow
  edge case (completely surrounded by blocking objects in all eight
  directions), and it threw the item from your hand in order to free you up to
  potentially open a door.  However, this code did not help at all in larger
  rooms with full floors (you'd still get trapped, unable to open the door),
  and teleportation was an unintended consequence of this code.  Fixed by
  allowing held-objects to trigger bare-hand transitions if no other transition
  applies.  This means you can now open a door when your hands are full, which
  means that we don't need to worry about you getting trapped in a room by a
  closed door when your hands are full, which means that the code that caused
  teleporation can be removed entirely.  Sorry Tarr.  Fixes #58

--Fixed so that default use-on-bare-ground action for a permanent held object
  (example:  horse cart), when attempted on a tile that has a swappable object
  in it, only is triggered with an explicit DROP action (right-click on
  swappable object).  Last fix (so that you weren't trapped by objects that
  fell out of your tipped horse cart) was triggered even by regular-click on
  the swappable object, which resulted in you getting off the horse
  unintentionally whenever you clicked on a swappable object.  Now you have to
  right-click.

--Fixed leak of absolute birth location through invalid held origin coordinates.

--Got rid of deprecated MOVE-to-jump-out-of-arms semantics.  Now only a real
  JUMP message will cause a baby to jump out, clearing up an ambiguity with
  wayward MOVE messages while held, which caused a bouncing-forever bug.

--When a map container shrinks and contents needs to be scattered, a search is
  conducted in an infinite square spiral until an empty spot is found for each
  previously-contained item.  This new scanning code is also much more efficent
  (minimum number of map look-ups) compared to old expanding-radius code (which
  stopped after radius 2, causing remaining items to vanish).  Fixes #62

--findClosestEmptyMapSpot now uses same centralized spiral code.  Got rid of
  code that merges graves (if someone standing on an existing grave when they
  die).  Now a dead person always makes a new grave (if there is an empty spot
  in a 100-step spiral around the place where they died).




Version 151    2018-October-8

--Loading Map process used to stall if a needed file was missing.  Now it
  displays an error message to the user.  This will hopefully help with the
  behavior described in jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7#22




Server Fixes

--New constant heat-map computing code was causing high CPU.  We were
  recomputing heat maps for 10 players per steps, but a quick sample of
  server1's logs showed 30 server steps per second with an 80-player load.
  Thus, we were recomputing heat maps for 300 players per second, which is way
  too frequently.  Turned setting down to 2 players updated per step, or 30 per
  second (all 80 players updated over the course of three seconds, which is
  fine).  Also eliminated extra heat map recomputation for players that are
  receiving a player update message.

--Held baby's temp matches position of moving holding adult.

--Pattern code now applies to transitions that have only one pattern object, as
  long as it's an actor or target in the transition.  The dog/puppy decay
  patterns now work correctly.  Fixes jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7#20

--Server setting forceAllPlayersEve.ini for improved control when testing.

--Fixed bug where partially used objects would get flaged as writable
  (allowing you to leave written messages on them).

--Fixed case of being trapped while holding a permanent object (like a tipped
  horse cart) and surrounded.  Any permanent held object that has a use-on-
  bare-ground transition defined for dropping it can now be swapped with a
  non-permanent object on the ground.



Version 149    2018-October-5

--Scene editor supports emotion displays.

--Fixed so that clothing doesn't blush.

--Fixed so that clicking face never accidently puts food in pocket of clothing,
  even if clothing extends up under face.  Clicking face makes you eat (this
  interaction was potentially very frustrating before, especially when young
  and wearing an apron).

--Major improvements to the heat system.  Now the heat simulation computes the
  heat of the environment around you periodically, whether or not you are
  walking around, and your personal temperature slowly advances toward this
  environmental heat value.  No more sudden jumps in temperature.  It should
  generally feel more intuitive than it used to.

--Only past 20 recorded game files are kept by default, and rest are deleted,
  freeing up disk space (put -1 in settings/keepPastRecordings.ini to keep them
  all and override this new behavior).



Server Fixes

--Fixed glitch in long-line-position saving at server shutdown, where tutorial
  players could potentially be treated as the longest line (thus putting the
  next Eve spawn location way out by the tutorial).  Thanks Christoffer Baar.

--Fixed server crash when player joins tutorial while there are no fertile
  mothers around but young babies around.




Version 147    2018-September-28

--Moving categories up and down on a member object (to alter which category
  takes precedence) was suppored in the editor, but not being saved to disk in
  category bank.  Disabled this editor functionality for now (eventually, may
  implement saving reverse category maps, with order, in the category bank, but
   it's pretty complicated, and hasn't been needed so far.

--Moving member objects up and down in a category IS actually useful (for
  pattern categories, where order of members matter), and it's possible to save
  this to disk in current category bank file structure, so added this
  functionality to editor.

--Finally fixed the root cause of the goose-stump and bear cave bug.  NSEW
  moves used to be fixed distance (instead of variable, looking for a possible
  space to land).  This is necessary for carts and other fixed-movment things.
  However, all of those things move a single step NSEW.  So, in that case, we
  shouldn't try moving farther if our move is blocked.  However, we can make
  the goose and bear move 2 steps south, and then the code can treat them
  differently (searching for a free space for them to move to).

--More fixes for stump/cave bug.  Now any applicable transition is applied for
  an object that is stuck and can't move, but was supposed to leave something
  behind (bear-on-cave transition, or goose-on-stump transtion).  No more
  disappearing stump or cave no matter what.

--Support for new emot protocol and emotion display in client.



Server Fixes

--Fixed grave detection code so that Murder Grave is counted as a grave, so
  you can't insert things into it.

--Centralized curse-tracking server shared by all servers.  Getting cursed on
  one server means you are cursed on all servers.

--Fixed a potential crash if numContained in map set > 0, but contained ID is 0.

--Fixed so that red-head race isn't a attractor point.  Any race with less than
  four members automatically has babies in a neighboring race.  For now, until
  there are more red-heads, the red-head will not have red-headded babies.

--Old code that checked for whether you were surrouned by blocking objects
  while holding something, which threw the object from your hand to give you a
  chance to untrap yourself, did not handle permanent held objects, nor did it
  account for diagonal walking when checking for surrounded status (only NSEW).
  This is what enabled teleporters, and also a murder-weapon-dropping exploit.
  This has all been fixed.  Teleportation will still happen, but only if you
  are truly surrounded and not holding something permanent.





Version 140    2018-September-17

--Fixed bug in transition editor that was labeling produces trans as from
  pattern by mistake.

--Added second object picker to transition editor for convenience (can
  juggle more than one search).

--Patterns no longer can replace explicitly-authored transitions.



Server Fixes

--Fixed curse-note exploit (reading a written phrase aloud no longer has same
  effect as speaking it yourself directly, for naming or cursing).



Version 138    2018-September-14

--Fixed bug in pattern transition generation.  Pattern should only apply if one
  of actor or target have pattern apply (not in case where only newActor or
  newTarget have pattern apply).  Example:  last puppy taken from German
  Shepherd with Puppies makes a German Shepherd.  German Shepherd is a pattern,
  but German Shepherd with Puppies is not.  Thus, we shouldn't generate a
  [German Shepherd with Puppies] -> [Adult Dog] transition for each adult dog
  in the German Shepherd pattern (the result is a single transition to an
  adult Chihuaha, the last adult dog on the pattern list). 



Server Fixes

--Fixed a potential server crash when triplets or quadruplets start the
  tutorial together.

--Improved click UI when holding food.  Right-click on backpack swaps food
  with bottom item in backpack.  Left-click puts food into backpack. 
  Left-click self (not backpack) to consume food.  Same for other clothing
  (like apron) with container slots.  This might make eating a bit harder in
  some cases (when clothing with container slots covers most of your
  character's body).

--Curse timeout (when record discarded) increased from 48 to 96 hours.

--Curse threshold (when you are born marked) lowered to 8 points.

--Curse-marked players are now born into a distant location as an Eve or as the
  baby of another curse-marked player.  Curse-marked players are exiled
  together until they live-off their curse points.






Version 137    2018-September-8

--Fixed a new double-free bug that causes a potential crash on chat.  Thanks
  Sophie Van L.




Version 136    2018-September-7

--Fixed scene editor animation speed of people holding speedMult objects.

--Fixed handling of leading/trailing spaces when typing spoken text.  A hidden
  leading space could spoil your baby naming phrase.  Thanks Jacek T.

--Fixed a bouncing-forever bug that was caused by ambiguity of jump-out-of-arms
  MOVE message (if messages are interleaved just right, the server can
  interpret this MOVE as a real move instead of a jump-out-of-arms action).
  Added new JUMP message to eliminate this ambiguity.  Thanks Jacek T.

--Fixed a few major glitches in hold-mouse-to-keep-moving.  Thanks Jacek T.

--Bouncing forever bug catcher now asks users to send recorded game file too.

--Fixed invalid memory read when generating hint for use-on-bare-ground
  transition.

--Fixed spelling of eighth cousin.  Thanks Trick.

--Flying object on pick-up now snaps into hand when you turn to walk away
  (instead of floating behind you magically, trying to catch up with you).




Server Fixes

--Holding age restrictions now correctly apply to what you end up holding after
  healing someone (babies can no longer remove arrows from wounded people).

--Support for writing attached to objects through new map metadata database.

--Fixed a bunch of server cases that weren't calling hideIDForClient before
  sending object ID to client, which was causing a client-side crash when
  metadata IDs were not being stripped out.

--Say limit based on age only enforced when reading if you are < 10 years old.

--Fixed bug in dataBundle script that caused old scenes to be deleted every
  update.

--Server now closes server socket immediately at start of shutdown process.
  Before, it would accept connections from clients and the reflector and then
  just hang there.  Now these connections are insta-rejected if server is in
  the process of shutting down.

--Fixed so that right-clicking worn backpack swaps held with bottom item in
  pack.  Works the same when worn or on the ground now.

--Can no longer dress or swap clothing on elderly (was allowing theft of
  elderly backpacks).

--Fixed so that nextID in metaData ID space is preserved across server
  restarts.  Was overwiting existing written notes after restart.  Fixes #118.





Version 130    2018-August-17

--Fixed GUI layout spacing in scene editor.

--Fixed glitch in moving objects that consume destination object (visual
  duplication of objects) if client falls behind server moves.

--Editor support for inverting scanned sprites (for making white smoke).

--Support for certain sprite layers being drawn behind player (example:
  tracks under cart).

--Floors can have speed modifiers (roads make you move faster, for example),
  but they are only applied by client and server if entire path is on the same
  floor.

--Auto-follow rideable floors (aka roads).




Server Fixes

--Added a few more MySQL indexes to speed up front page queries in lineage
  server.  One of these queries used to take 1.2 seconds, and now takes
  0.00079350 seconds, or a 1500x speedup.  Front page of family tree browser
  now loads quickly.

--Support for skipping look-time based cleanup for profiling purposes.

--Support for skipping removed object cleanup and use dummy cleanup (to speed
  up profiling cycle).

--Profiler found that looking up container cells in map, when doing
  lookAtRegion operation, was a huge hotspot.  All we needed was a count of
  how many contained items are present.  We don't need a db lookup for that.
  Now storing these in a hash table.  This results in a 91x speedup for the 
  lookAtMapRegion call.

--We can safely assume ID=0 tiles never decay, greatly improving performcance
  of checkDecayObject, which is called a lot when people are moving around the
  map.

--Profiler found that tokenizeString, which is used to parse client messages,
  consumes a resonable amount of CPU.  Wrote optimzed version for 2x speedup.

--Switched to a 7x faster in-place tokenizeString implementation for parsing
  MOVE messages.

--Profiler found sscanf hotspot in message parsing code.  Replaced with own
  task-specific implementation for a 4x speedup. 

--Next profiler hotspot is dbLookTimePut, which is being called in every dbGet
  call, even if dbGet result is cached in RAM.  We're constantly touching the
  lookTime database.  But look times don't need to be so fine-grained.  +/- 1
  hour precision is fine.  Changed lookTime db coordinates to be x/100,y/100
  (one time for every chunk of 100x100 tiles), and changed to register new look
  times only when map chunks are fetched (registering the four corners of the
  chunk only).

--Next profiler hotspot:  RAM caching around time.db.

--Next profiler hotspot:  isMapSpotBlocking, which is called for each spot on
  each move path submitted.  RAM caching results, and clearing cache record
  when map cell changes.

--Profiler found that printf was actually using quite a bit of CPU.  Removed
  all printf statements from MOVE message processing.  This is the most common
  message type, and processing it involved the most print statements.

--Support for flushing look times on first server startup to avoid mismatch
  errors between old look time format, which was indexed as x,y, and new
  format, which is indexed as x/100, y/100.  On first startup after this
  change, we treat all map cells as not stale.

--Profiler hotspot:  getChunkMessage is checking for contained items even for
  empty map cells or cells that have no container slots.

--Profiler hotspot:  the existence of tutorial maps in biome database causes
  biome to be looked up elsewhere on map.  We can track max/min x,y locations
  where biomes exist before looking in the biome database.


--Switched over to new, custom-coded linearDB as a replacement for stackDB.
  Huge performance gains.

--Disabled nightly server map backup operation.  Map databases have gotten so
  big that this operation, which must interrupt server activity for safety, now
  takes 10 seconds on server1.  These map backups have never been needed and
  take up substantial disk space.

--LinearDB3 is in place.  Inserts are much faster.  Other operations are faster
  than any previous database engine.

--Profiler found 5M+ vector operations happening for each tutorial map insert
  (because we're checking for map changes).  Disabled map change tracking
  during tutorial map insert.  This could cause some strange behavior if an
  escaped tutorial player walks into a new player's tutorial area at the moment
  of loading, but there's going to be strange behavior there no matter what.

--Split tutorial map loading up into 5-ms steps that are interleaved with other
  server processing steps.  Server no longer stalls for 1+ second while a
  tutorial map loads into a full database.  Tutorial players may have to wait
  a tiny bit longer, but that's okay.

--Index added to name colum of lineage server lives database to make name
  searches faster.

--Lineage server now only supports name prefixes in character name searches
  (so 'Jon' matches 'Jonathan Lucky' but 'Lucky' does not match it).  Turned
  out that full wildcard searches involved a full table scan and had gotten
  intolerably slow, even after the index for names was added.

--Player cap up to 200 on all servers, preparing to roll out new lineardb3 to
  all.

--Fixed major high CPU spike issue due to uninitialized variable.
  Thanks Jincheng L.

--Fixed server crash due to a typo.

--Fixed bug in adding transitions with a move distance.

--Objects that move N/S/E/W keep moving even when out of view, permitting
  long-distance rails to function.

--Fixed potential c-standard violation in having same file fopen-ed multiple
  times in parallel during tutorial map loading.

--Fixed handling of transitions where object moves onto bare ground.

--Apply bare ground transition, if any, when object blocked from moving.

--NSEW moves never move farther than specified, even if ground object present.

--Fixed a bug in the loop over possible spots to move to (don't need i=0).

--Eve placement adjusted to bring Eves twice as close together as before.





Version 126    2018-July-18

--Trim whitespace from start and end of twin codes entered by user. 
  Hidden whitespace could cause a mismatch.

--Wow.  Twin implementation in client is totally broken, and not sending twin
  code to reflector at all.  Anyone who successfully played with twins so far
  was just lucky (both got sent to the same server by random chance).

--MENU button on rebirth choice page to return to login screen.

--Borderless mode on settings page.

--More info in fps mismatch error message.

--Custom server can now be configured on SETTINGS page.

--Fixed wayward KEEP_ALIVE message from client if player waits a while before
  pressing LOGIN button.  Fixed lots of other little connection glitches, and
  made the connection phases more clear (connecting vs waiting to be born vs
  loading map).

--Custom server status shown on connection page if set.  No more forgetting
  that it's set and wondering why you can't connect with a friend.

--Fixed bug in reopening connection after signal set to leave LivingLifePage.
  This was causing a bad socket to remain open, which could cause subsequent
  logins to fail (usually after pressing x to leave twin waiting screen).







Server Fixes

--Eve location reususe after server restart upped to 10 chances instead of 3.
  Also made it a setting that can be changed at runtime.

--Proper formatting of roman numeral suffixes in family tree browser.

--Added tracking of which names have suffix already in server to avoid
  mistakenly treating suffix like a last name.



Version 125    2018-July-13

--Added client source code version match check in platform build scripts
  (to prevent problem that happened during release of v123).

--Fixed invisible babies, bouncing forever, duplicated objects, and all sorts
  of other problems caused when a player carries a baby out of range (so that
  updates aren't received about them anymore), and then a different player
  carries the same baby back into range.  Messages about the held baby were
  being queued by the client, since the client was still waiting for the first
  player to drop the baby, but the drop happened out of range.

--Fixed so that mouse-over works correctly for moving people (you used to have
  to mouse over the next tile on their path, but now you can mouse over their
  exact position mid-move).  This also makes it much easier to kill a moving
  player that is crossing over thing on the ground.

--Added player ID parameter to KILL, BABY, and UBABY client messages to specify
  a specific player that the client clicked on (no more killing a bystander who
  was standing in the same tile as the person you actually clicked on, and no
  more grabbing the wrong baby).

--Players have always been drawn in age order (youngest in front), so now
  mouse-over works the same way.  This worked by accident most of the time,
  because most people enter the game in age order, but was broken for an Eve
  that entered later than a baby (she would capture mouse clicks of the baby
  she was standing visually behind).

--TEMP LOGIN was a confusing feature.  Added CLEAR ACCOUNT button instead.

--Twin system.  Players can share a code friends and get born as identical
  twins, triplets, or quadruplets.





Server Fixes

--Server logs curses cast and curse score changes.  These logs are backed up
  along with lifeLogs.

--Web export of curse logs along with life logs.

--Curse system saves state between runs of given server.  Thus, cursed status
  isn't reset when server restarts (no more free pass to griefers right before
  an update).




Version 123    2018-July-10

--Fixed memory leak and uninitialized variable.

--Fixed bad memory access in audio callback when shutting down.

--Fixed memory leak in update process.




Windows base update:   Version 65c    2018-July-10

--Fixed slow newline replacement code (as part of update process) that was 
  getting bogged down when processing text files with many lines.




Server Fixes

--Anyone can name a held baby, even adoptive parents.  They get the last name
  of their adoptive parent.  An unnamed person who is older than baby age can
  be named by anyone nearby, but they will never have a last name.

--If a name isn't unique as far as the curse system is concerned, a roman
  numeral suffix (II, III, IV, V, etc.) is automatically added.

--Data-only diff bundle generation script now skips scenes.  They never should
  have been included, and the tutorial map scene was BIG (26,000 lines).




Version 122    2018-July-6

--Back to updating hard-coded version number with every client update.  Not
  sure what I was thinking there.  Saw a version mismatched and found the
  wrong reason for it.




Version 121    2018-July-6

--Fixed newly introduced bug in sound volumes for positioned sound source when
  far enough away that volume equation becomes negative (was causing all kinds
  of sound glitches).

--Responds to new SD (FORCED_SHUTDOWN) message from server.

--Fixed bug that prevented body clothing from being removed.
  Thanks Midget Maker.



Server Fixes

--Added new forcedShutdown trigger for server, to cleanly shut down server,
  and send notice to connected clients, without waiting for everyone to live
  out their lives.  Need this for emergencies sometimes, and sending SIGSTP to
  the server, unlike ctrl-z, wasn't working.




Version 119    2018-July-6

--Fixed glitch when picked up and put down by an adult who still has messages
  pending (thanks Jacek T).  Also handled case where two adults are passing
  baby back and forth.  It's still a little jumpy if the baby's client has
  delay, but at least the end result is correct now.

--Fixed bug where player can still try to click on baby's old ground location
  while the baby is held by someone else.

--NONE RELEVANT if the filter matches, but no transitions are relevant, but
  NO MATCH if the filter simply doesn't match anything.

--Fixed so that you can't click on arm by accident when trying to click on
  tunic, bottom, or backpack clothing.  Arm should be unclickable if you are
  wearing clothes.

--Curse system.  Everyone starts with one curse token and zero curse points. 
  CURSE JANE SMITH curses Jane Smith, giving her one curse point, and consuming
  the sayer's curse token.  Sayer gets new curse token after two hours of play.
  One curse point removed after each hour of play.  A baby with ten or more
  curse points is born marked.  A marked person cannot be cursed further until
  they are born unmarked later.  Curse token displayed near temp meter.

--Fixed several bugs in UI paper slip animations and clearing when not
  operating at full frame rate.

--Home arrow shows tile distance if target is more than 1000 tiles away.
  Useful for judging whether distant monuments are worth the trip.




Server Fixes

--Fixed typo in computation of stagger time for player who is wounded multiple
  times.  Fixes #41.  Thanks UncleGus.

--Added YOU'RE and YOURE and I'M and IM as naming phrases, after seeing that in
  the Life of Bumpy video.

--Fixed so that grave doesn't disappear if you are standing on a cross of
  permanent objects when you die.  Server now searches in a spiral of 100
  tiles around your current location to find an empty spot for your grave.

--Max players back down to 140 from 200, so load balancing kicks in at 70
  players instead of at 100 players.

--Fixed some crashes when baby marked as held by player that is gone.

--Fixed order of naming phrases so that prefixes of other phrases come last.




Version 118    2018-June-29

--Support for masked speech output in client (useful for making gifs).

--Support for tutorial trigger on client login, and server loading a tutorial
  map out in the unused wilderness and placing player at start of the tutorial.

--Scene editor support for copy/paste of 6x6 area.  Fixed memory leak.

--New crafting hint filter system.  Say /hatchet to show only hints relevant to
  making a hatchet.  Say / by itself to clear the filter.

--Time played in other lines before returning to a line pushed up to 1.5 hours.

--People who kill, regardless of their time in a line (even less than a half
  hour) are given the full lineage ban, just like murder victims.  Killing
  counts as fully participating in a line.  This prevents grief-killers from
  suiciding before 30 minutes and coming right back.

--TEMP LOGIN button hidden along with login button when checking for FPS
  mismatch (otherwise, someone might press TEMP LOGIN upon not seeing LOGIN at
  first).

--Typo in objectBank.  Fixes #39.  Good catch UncleGus.

--Fixed so that you can never click on a held baby by clicking its last ground
  position (could kill a held baby by accident when trying to set a weapon
  down where they were standing before pick-up).





Version 115    2018-June-22

--Babies now carry their wounds with them when they are picked up, instead of
  discarding them.




Server Fixes:

--Deadly map spots (attacking animals) put on cooldown for 10 seconds after an
  attack to prevent multiple repeat attacks on the same person before they
  realize what has happened.

--Fixed glitch in generation of transitions that apply to every use dummy of
  an actor.

--Fixed glitch in biome database at position 0,0.




Version 112    2018-June-21

--Fixed category editor to let a category be picked on the parent side that is
  also a child of another category (pattern categories can be part of other
  categories now, like pink rose seeds, which are a pattern for other rose
  seeds, but also in the small trash category).

--Fixed search for limbs in objects that have no hands or feet.

--Fixed so that you can mouse-over and click on a person standing behind a tree.

--Hunger slips (and chimes) shown at 8 and 4 instead of 6 and 3 food remaining.

--Mousing over wounded self now describes the wound.

--Support for clicking on a player with a curing object to heal a wound.




Server Fixes:

--Keeping server database backups 7 days instead of 14.

--Fixed bug in setting decay ETA for newly held object.

--Rework lineage ban.  Now it kicks in after you've lived 30 minutes total in a
  given family line, and gets cleared when you've lived at least 60 minutes
  total in other family lines.  Instantly kicks in if you get murdered,
  regardless of how long you lived in that line so far.  Has very little
  impact on dying babies, because they clock so little time before dying.
  Thus, new players who die young a lot, and players who are abandonned as
  babies, are not blocked from getting reborn in the same village.

--Animal attacks now can set a wound on a player and put them into a dying
  stagger just like murder.  No more instant death (except from hunger and old
  age).

--Getting attacked again while still wounded causes remaining stagger time to
  be cut in half.

--With new healing in place, no longer need to delay hunger when wounded.





Version 110    2018-June-14

--Transition editor now includes category transitions in list of 'uses'
  transitions at the bottom of the screen (for example, looking at a leaf shows
  transitions that use a leaf and transitions for the small trash category).

--Fixed animation glitches when a moving object transitions from ground to
  moving.  Was preserving frozenRotFrameCount, and setting ground frame count
  back to 0 each time, even when we didn't need to be (when moving object had
  no rotating parts).  (Example:  blood squirting from goose neck.)

--Fixed so that d1 use dummy keeps its creation sound even if creation sound
  marked initial only.  This sound will play during reverse use (example:
  adding a burrito to an empty plate).

--Transition editor shows color-coded transitions from categories and patterns
  in both produced by and produces list.

--New yummy food multiplier system.  After eating two different foods, you get
  a yum bonus of 1 food and your yum multiplier goes up to 1.  With each unique
  food that you eat, your yum multiplier goes up by one, and this multiplier is
  added to your yum bonus.  When you finally repeat a food, your yum multiplier
  goes back to 0.  Yum bonus functions as extra food units above and beyond
  your normal food bar.  By chaining many unique foods, the yum multiplier and
  resulting yum bonuses can be very large.  Holding a food in your hand tells
  you whether it is yummy or meh.  Sorry about the word 'yum', but there really
  isn't any other short word for that concept except for nom, which is way too
  internet.  And meh?  I don't think there's any other word for that.  It's
  kinda meh, though.  And yes, Jere, you'll still get the bonus if you save
  your buttered roll for last.


 



Server Fixes:

--Added work-around for non-clean shutdown that can leave dummy objects in map
  that may be interpreted as new category objects after restart.  Category
  objects removed from map during map cleaning process.

--Added cron job for game servers that clears bug log files older than four
  days to conserve disk space.

--Death stagger time up to 40 seconds instead of 20.

--Food decrement no longer happens during death stagger.  You won't starve to
  death after being mortally wounded.

--Fixed server crash when held tattered backpack decays to nothing.





Version 107    2018-June-8

--No longer using ancestor test to determine if creation sound should play for
  objects marked with creationSoundInitialOnly.  Exclusively using sprite
  subset test.

--Was waiting 166ms for bouncing animation to start a bit before sending our
  action message.  This prevents weird insta-response on fast connections
  (where we get the grabbed item in our hand even before really moving toward
  it).  However, on slow connections, this 166ms adds to perceived latency,
  because we still need to wait for the message round trip after that.  Now we
  measure most recent round trip time and use it to decrease this bouncing
  start time before sending our action message.  If round trip is slow enough
  (>166ms), we don't need to wait at all before sending our action message to
  the server.  If round trip time is 80 ms, for example, we'd only wait/bounce
  for 86ms before sending our message.

--Added support for rotated sprites when baking in object editor.





Server Fixes:

--Fixed so that useChance applies in last transition back to parent object
  (example:  refilling last step of pond should have 1/5 chance of taking pond
  to full state, when before it had 1/1 chance, allowing for an infinite water
  exploit).  Thanks Eve, YAHG, and Rebel.

--Support for NOT dying when riding over a deadly object (like a rattlesnake)
  on a vehicle (like a horse), but support for transitions to the ridden object
  (dead horse or tipped horse cart).

--Fixed so that creation sound not played for items dropped on the ground when
  held container shrinks.

--Fixed heldTransitionSourceID after use-on-ground transitions.



Version 105   2018-June-1

--Fixed crash in transition bank pattern code.  Thanks Enforcerke and Jookia.

--Fixed spurious client BUG reports by resetting timer when we receive a
  move-done message in the middle of waiting for a move-and-do cycle to
  complete.  Thanks Sarah V.

--Fixed bouncing-forever bug caused by path truncation.  Thanks Malo T.





Version 102   2018-May-31

--Fixed scene editor to display behind floor hugging objects correctly.

--Fixed bug in client sending multiple jump-out-of-arms move messages due to
  rapid clickly by held-baby-player, resulting in the server registering false
  moves after the jump-out-of-arms, and a bouncing-forever bug as a result.
  Thanks Gabriel G.

--Fixed overlap of foot bar with gui in object editor.

--Widget for Using Sound visible for all objects in object editor.

--Fixed sound-doubling issues (dumping water into empty pond, grabbing
  second-to-last stone from stone pile).

--Fixed so that comment (after # text) is hidden from eaten food description.

--Fixed code for generic transition filling to handle case where an object has
  both regular and last use generic transition defined.





Server Fixes:

--Fixed one source of bouncing-forever bug where baby move arrives in same
  server step as parent's pick-up action.  Thanks Lynne C.




Version 100   2018-May-25

--Support for marking categories as patterns.

--Support for auto-generated transitions based on new pattern categories.
  Example:  define transition web for pink roses, and then set the pink rose
  objects as the pattern for all white and red rose objects (seeds, sprouts,
  etc.)  Wherever a transition involves at least two objects that are both part
  of a pattern of the same size, the transition is replicated for all the other
  members of that pattern.  Unlike other categories, which never appear in the
  game and are just abstract placeholders to be filled in by member objects,
  pattern categories have a real object as their parent (example:  pink rose
  seed, with children red and white rose seeds).






Version 99    2018-May-24

--Label for a grave of a known person now moves with bone pile.

--Fixed editor use chance and sim GUI elements disappearing with object picker
  cleared.

--Fixed so that non-permanent objects on ground are drawn in front of permanent
  objects.  Thus, hand cart handle sticks out in front of well.

--Fixed so that walls drawn in front of other tiles in row, improving overlaps
  for trees, carts, and other overhanging objects.

--Client detects largest message time gaps between server messages to prevent
  it from sending BUG report messages to server during true network outages.

--Fixed wayward chat sheet pop-up.  Thanks Yuyu.

--Client now informs player when BUG report sent to server, and asks them to
  email stdout.txt, if stdout.txt exists.

--Face portrait output in editor fixed to clear picked layer first (or else
  picked layer appears in every age portrait).




Server Fixes:

--Bug reports off again until better client-side differentiation in place.

--log.txt backed up and cleared every 24 hours instead of 48 to save disk space.

--Fixed bugs in lineage server triggered by playerIDs that are the same between
  servers.

--Fixed player invisibility bug.  Thanks Yuyu.

--Fixed various edge cases in random family member picking code.





Version 97    2018-May-18

--Adding missing case to used object transition generation.  Thank Fernando GBR.

--Fixed bug in the way time values were recorded in recordedGames.

--Fixed bugs in wall hugging code for floors that was screwing up multi-layer
  floors that used multiplicative blending (ancient floors).

--Undisturbed grave now marked with known person's name and relationship.






Server Fixes:

--Fixed bug in lineage server that caused death to not get logged if last words
  contained a single quote mark.

--Added Daily and Weekly long lines to family tree browser.

--Family tree view now shows most ancient ancestor at top.

--More efficient relation computation for shallow relations in deep trees.
  Cut-off of 25 generations when computing relations in deep trees (beyond
  that, people become Distant Relatives) because it was getting too slow to
  compute.

--Fixed family tree to show '1 second' instead of '1 seconds'.

--Fixed so that murdered person's last words shown correctly in family tree,
  and so that a murdered person who starves to death before dying isn't logged
  twice.

--Server now sends non-human death-source ID to lineage server (snake, etc).

--Lineage server displays a variety of death reasons.

--Lineage server tracks and displays deepest descendant generation at bottom
  of family tree display.

--Added character_dump api call to lineage server.

--Fixed lineage server behavior on IDs that don't exist.

--Turned on bug reporting again, trying to catch bouncing lag bug.

--Fixed bug in out-of-range player PO message.

--Added extra server logging about player update messages to catch bouncing
  lag bug.

--Clicking on killer's name shows their relationship to you in family tree.

--Family tree Email search now only matches exact email addresses, to thwart
  brute-force email harvesting through trial and error.  Thanks Brian R.





Version 95    2018-May-11

--Fixed some transition hints.  New transition system leaves some lastUse
  transtions in place that aren't used by server.  Client shouldn't show these
  as redundant hints.  Client was showing NOTHING as result in case where actor
  was used up and target stayed the same (adding stone to a pile).  Now shows
  same target as result instead of NOTHING.

--Added display of current slot position in object editor.

--Fixed so that arrow keys in text field do not change rotation anchor in
  animation editor.

--Editor saving face portaits throughout life for use in family tree viewer.

--Client now displays Big and Little words for siblings, and also detects twin
  status (including identical).

--Client shows A,B,C,...AA, AB,... labels for varible objects and ? label for
  base object (like for locks after restart).





Server Fixes:

--Whoops, forgot to commit/push changes to transition bank.  Bug city on live
  servers.

--Back to registering lookTime whenever non-zero map or floor values are gotten
  from database, instead of just registering lookTimes on map changes.  Only
  looking on map change was an optimization that was necessary with the old
  database engine, but hopefully the new engine can handle it.  Also, we are no
  longer tracking look times for bare ground, so that should help a lot too.
  This will prevent walls and other untouched but seen-in-the-last-24-hours
  objects from disappeariing on server restart.

--Temporarily pushed no-look cull time on server restart up to 1 week to work
  around the lookTime issue in the next restart (which will be needed to make
  the above fix to lookTimes live).  I.e., if it was added to the map in the
  last week, it will not be culled in the next server restart.

--Fixed generation of transitions with a minUseFractions (a well can only be
  built from a full stone pile, for example).

--Server filters SAY messages according to allowed character list.

--On server shutdown, variable objects (keys and locks) now revert to their
  parent form instead of being cleared.  All keys open all locks after server
  restart.  Combined with new transitions that allow door locks to be removed
  and turned back into lock blanks, this allows all doors to be re-keyed after
  a server reset, meaning that new family lines are not locked out.

--Server now adjusts all client-sent coordinates relative to player's birth
  position in world.  No more absolute coordinates.

--Fixed bug that caused some initial new-baby PLAYER_UPDATE (PU) messages to
  not be sent, causing the following lineage message for that new baby to be
  ignored by client (leading to NO RELATION for some actually-related babies).

--Added same-lineage-birth blocking for a time that is based on the size of the
  server population.  Below 10 players, there is no same-lineage blocking.
  From 11 to 50 players, it rises linearly up to the full cooldown time, which
  is currently 3 hours, and may increase in the future.

--Server now sends lineage info to lineageServer upon player death.

--Baby inherits the last-heard monument call from parent at 0.5 years old.
  Thus, trips to a monument can be trans-generational (parent can die along
  the way and baby can continue).

--Support for categories in cross-transitions (where actor ends up on ground as
  newTarget or target ends up in hand as newActor).

--Server now hides ID of locked objects from the client by replacing it with
  the parent ID for that variable object.




Version 90    2018-May-3 

--Fixed scene editor to allow replacement of shoes.

--Fixed so that empty slots don't capture mouse-over.

--Fixed stuck hint sheet from last object when you pick up an object that has
  no transitions.




Server Fixes:

--Fixed server crash when worn clothing decays down to nothing.

--Fixed server launch script to use login shell.  Core dumps for crashes.

--Fixed getRandomDeathMarker so that it's actually random and doesn't walk
  through the full object list each call (thanks TyrantNomad).

--Fixed memory leak when held contained items decay to leave an empty container.

--Fixed server crash when a held container decays to have fewer slots, but the
  container wasn't full.

--If a held object changes into something that would decay in the same time to
  the same target, the decay ETA is preserved (example:  filling backpack with
  soil does not reset decay time to tattered backpack, because both regular and
  soil-filled backpack decay to tattered in the same time).

--New sprial Eve placement algorithm.

--Fixed generation of transitions that contain two useCount objects by
  iterating through list twice to generate all possible combinations.

--Slot size and containable size now specified as a float instead of an int.
  We can have things smaller than slot size 1 now (for signs).

--Fixed generation of reverse-use transitions (fixes last stone in stone pile
  and empty berry bush regrowing).

--Fixed so that shrinking clothing container (like backpack) results in items
  falling on the ground instead of disappearing.

--Support for useChance in objects that have multiple uses.  This is the chance
  that using the object will take it to its next use state.  A tool that has 4
  uses, and 0.1 useChance, will be used 40 times on average, but a bare minimum
  of 4 times in the worst case.  This allows for tools that have 100s of uses,
  on average, without straining the underlying implementation.

--Fixed mapping of uses through target when actor experiences last use, and
  through actor when target experiences last use.

--Fixed incorrect handling of last reverse use transitions.  Fixed variable
  transitions to work with new tool use system.

--Fixed server crash when held container decays down to nothing.

--No need for constant PO messages about all out-of-range players.  Instead,
  only send POs for players that are between 32 and 64 away.

--Support for noUse flag on transitions for actor and target, indicating that
  this target shouldn't cause use count to decrement (example:  picking feather
  from pond shouldn't cause pond to drain).

--Fixed transitions where actor and target are same category so that any pair
  of objects from that category work on eachother.  Also fixed to preserve
  actor/target use chance through category transitions and generic use
  transitions.  Fixes jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7#7 

--Support for containers with locked slots (nothing can be added or removed).

--Server log.txt backup cycle two days instead of three.  Logs were too big.




Version 78    2018-April-20

--Fixed spread of appearing use sprites by rounding instead of flooring.  If
  there was only one sprite, it would appear at 7/8 uses.  Now it appears at
  4/8 uses.

--Allow creation sound to play for held item when it changes even if the
  on-ground target object changes too (example:  tool breaking when chopping
  wood).

--Fixed so that usingSound will play correctly when an on-the-ground object
  changes (example:  dumping water into goose pond).  This was broken in v66
  with the fix to sound for swapping contained items (thanks Uncle Gus).

--Fixed remap random source to seed with playerID.

--Auto-generation of variable objects triggered by $N in description, which
  generates N versions of that object and its transitions automatically.
  Example:  Key $10 generates 10 types of keys and Locked Door $10 generates
  matching doors.
 



Server Fixes:

--Fixed to handle dropping of contained objects when held container shrinks.

--Force drop when non-permanent held object decays into a permanent.

--Fixed bug in decaying, shrinking sub container.

--If numUses of actor and newTarget matches, and newActor doesn't have uses,
  then the used status of the actor is preserved in the newTarget.

--If numUses of target and newActor matches, and actor doesn't have uses, then
  the used status of the target is preserved in the newActor and decremented
  (counts as a use of the actor).

--Substitution of last-use of actor when used target produces an over-used
  newActor.

--Uses left can be decremente if actor and new actor have the same number of
  uses (example:  dumping shovel of dung uses shovel once).  Fixed some
  rounding errors in use transfer.

--Can no longer feed other people remap-trigger foods.

--Easier to kill a moving player.  Spots before and after them on their
  current path are considered as valid targets.

--New baby distribution algorithm.  Possible mothers are weighted by how close
  they are to ideal temperature instead of how full their food bars are.


  



Version 77    2018-April-17

--Added skipFPSMeasure.ini setting that can be used to disable FPS check on
  login screen.

--Fixed so that monumentCall sound is always loaded, even if monument is far
  away, so that it can play when monumentCall is triggered.  People weren't
  actually hearing it from far away.  Oops.

--Fixed speed calculation for various paper slide-in animations when target
  frame rate not 60.

--On version mismatch, a button to disable custom server is shown.

--Client now counts any later server version as a mismatch, but allows earlier
  server versions if that version matches our client data version (to allow
  client binary updates to fix bugs without restarting the servers).

--Fixed several bugs in TextArea code that could lead to crashes on Review page.

--Fixed zombie player that could be discovered radius of 32 if a player walked
  out of range and then you walked over to their last-known spot later. 




Server Fixes:

--Wound object no longer dropped if player wounded more than once.

--Fixed so that deathETA not reset if player wounded a second time, also
  blocked their death being logged twice.

--Turned off badMotherLimit.  With birth cooldown, it really isn't needed, and
  a mother can be punished by suicidal babies and become infertile.

--Fixed occurence of ~ for home directory inside quotes in various BASH scripts.

--Instead of using last Eve location before shutdown as new Eve location on
  next server startup, server remembers death location of longest lineage
  person who died during the shutdown process and uses that as the new Eve
  location on next startup.  That location is still used for the next three
  Eves post-startup, to give people three chances to get the pre-shutdown
  civilization up and running.  As a fall-back, if no shutdown death location
  has been saved, server looks for tallest, most-recenly-built monument
  location and uses that for the new Eve location.

--Added timestamp per monument step in monument logs.

--Changed monument tracking to only log monuments when second layer is built,
  and cleared old monument logs containing only one line.

--Main server backup script backs up monument logs.

--Monument reports for website.

--Fixed redundant if statement in transition bank (thanks UncleGus).

--Eves are now spread in a circle around the server-startup-Eve-origin point
  with a radius of 1000.  They won't keep random-walking further and further
  away.

--Mr. Still-Pretty-Nice-Guy.  Eating bonus 2, down from 3.

--Animals now stay in their spawning biome if moving radomly or fleeing.  Can
  still leave their biome in chase or fixed cardinal direction moves.
  Rattlesnakes stay in the desert, pengins stay in the snow.  Except for the
  rare borderlands rattlesnake or penguin who spawns off the edge.  They will
  also stay in their biome forever (a swamp penguin will always stay in the
  swamp if it spawns there).  But in general, you can travel in non-desert
  areas without much snake danger. 





Version 74    2018-April-13

--Fixed editor to allow smaller map chances.

--Fixed editor to NOT apply < 1.0 speed multiplier on ground animations, to
  match client behavior.  Thanks TyrantNomad.

--Fixed update process to NOT rewrite a lingering .bak file that failed to be
  deleted.  On Windows, we must move our EXE out of the way, but on a
  multi-part update, this results in trying to move it to the .bak file
  multiple times, with later moves failing.

--Fixed postUpdate process to remove any lingering .bak files.

--Client displays red speech for staggering murder victims before death, and
  shows bloody GUI overlay to victim.

--Fixed three bugs in copying map animation data when a new chunk arrives
  (thanks Christoffer Baar).

--Added support for sprite remapping.

--Support for monument call.




Server Fixes:

--Bug reporting back on in server.

--Apocalypse off again for now.

--Fixed various scripts to handle git tag changes.

--Fixed so that server checks apocalypsePermitted setting live, when about to
  trigger an apocalypse.

--After a family line dies out, next Eve is spawned in a random direction 2000
  tiles away.  After a server restart, the next three Eves are spawned around
  the last Eve location before restart, and then the random-2000 jumping starts
  for the fourth and subsequent Eves.

--Held baby was killed if dangerous animal walked over its last ground
  position.  Fixed.

--Fixed website stats generation.

--Bug reporting back off.  I think it may be causing a CPU vicious cycle.

--Disabled biome database to memorize proc-genned biome map.  This helped
  preserve seen map areas when a new biome was added, but it consumed gobs of
  RAM and CPU resources as players and Eve spreading explores huge areas of
  wilderness.  New biomes aren't added that often, and it's okay for them to
  shift under existing villages for now.  No longer saving look time for every
  single map cell that is seen, only for modified cells. 

--Switched to a stack implementation of a hash table database to improve
  performance on the most recent items.  Thus, performance won't degrade as
  much as more and more areas of the map are explored.

--Further improved performance of stack-based database implementation,
  especially on case of repeated misses.  Individual operations are between 3x
  and 10x faster than old kissDB engine, with 7x average speed improvement over
  a whole range of operations on test data.  StackDB also uses 6% less disk
  space for this test data, and 13,000x less RAM (plus, RAM usage is constant
  regardless of data size, where kissDB RAM usage grows over time as data
  grows).  The only place where stackDB is slightly slower is iterating through
  all database items, but this only happens when rebuilding a database to cull
  at startup, and we make up for it with the dramtically faster insertion
  performance of the stack.

--Server now makes use of high-performance STACKDB_put_new when rebuilding
  databases during the map cull after restart.  Shrank table in eve location
  database to save disk space given long email key.

--Added 20 seconds of 'stagger around' time after you are murdered.  Server
  sends clients a DY message to indicate that a player has entered this state.

--Optimization:  Valgrind profiler found 40% of CPU on a live 20-player server
  spent on computeMapBiomeIndex.  Caching this in a RAM-based hash table.

--Fixed so that if we're holding something permanent that can only be dropped
  with a use-on-bare-ground action, we drop the result of that use-on-bare-
  ground action when we die (instead of leaving permanent version of the held
  object on the ground after death).

--Support for monument logging and monument call to client.





Version 72    2018-April-5

--Server now reports its version number in its first SN number, and client
  displays error on version mismatch.

--Fixed incorrect CONNECTION LOST message in client when death reason known
  but user is clicking after death, when server socket has already been closed.
  Now clicks immediately after death are prevented client-side.

--Fixed editor bug where sound paste button not visible after recording.

--Fixed bug in clothing click detection if clothing contains rotated sprites
  that are further roted by the worn (held) animation along with custom
  rotation offsets (example:  seal skin coat).

--A lot of client BUG reports seem to be due to simple networking lag.  Maybe
  some clients really are seeing server responses that take more than 4
  seconds.  Updating BUG threshold to 10 seconds.

--Mac fullscreen mode fixed (using borderless window AND hiding menu/dock).
  Thanks Chard.

--Support in client and server for The Apocalypse, and propagation of
  apocalypse wave through all official servers via the reflector.

--Client now sends server KA keep-alive message every 15 seconds of player
  idleness to make sure a NAT or other router doesn't drop the connection if
  idle.

--Fixed so that speech isn't drawn off top of the screen for a character that
  is nearby.




Server Fixes:

--Containment can transfer from actor to target through a transition.  For
  example, adding a full cart to a horse keeps what was contained in the cart
  in the new horse-drawn cart.

--Fixed server crash (and possible client crash) caused by improper clearing of
  removed sub-contained objects (post-data-update) if entire sub-container
  needed to be cleared out (if it contained nothing by now-removed objects).
  Someone had a basket in a cart containing nothing by domestic carrot seed
  heads.

--Forgot to include lookTime.db in server backups.

--Fixed initialization of look times if lookTimes.db empty.  All map cells are
  set to have look times of NOW.  This prevents them from being cleared if the
  server restarts again in less than 24 hours.

--Fixed a memory leak in naming phrases init.

--Removed duplicates from firstNames list (thanks Chard).




Version 70    2018-March-16

--Fixed a crash when setting down a baby just as someone feeds you.

--Fixed a crash when mousing over someone as they die.




Version 69    2018-March-16

--Scene editor now has 'V' fill function for repeating objects (useful to make
  stress-test maps).

--Fixed an invisible-self-as-baby bug when baby-self set down during map load.

--Fixed another baby bouncing-forever bug (if baby's clothing state changes
  while held, this causes a PU message about the baby, which the client was
  interpreting as a baby-drop, even though the server saw the baby as still
  held).

--Some bouncing-forever bugs seem to be caused by server missing or ignoring
  one of our MOVE messages, meaning that it never tells us we arrived, so our
  next action is pending forever.  I'm still working on figuring out what's
  going wrong in the server MOVE handling code.  In the mean time, I've added
  a work-around client-side that detects >4 seconds of bouncing and jumps back
  to the last known server position.

--Client using BUG protocol to report 4-second bouncing.

--Client support for NM names message and displaying names.

--Now showing YOUR in front of relation names.

--Client and server now differentiate between baby-drop PU messages and other
  PU messages about a held baby with done_moving field (only done_moving if
  baby no longer held).

--Fixed glitches in animation when dropping a baby.  On dropping player's
  client, the doing animation would run forever.  On witnessing players'
  clients, the doing animation wouldn't be triggered.




Server Fixes:

--Fixed comma int printing in stats at top of home page.

--Added hash table RAM caching of object database.

--Eliminated repeated calls to getTrans for same id in checkDecayContained.

--Eliminated expensive calls to checkDecayContained by tracking which cells on
  map have no decaying contained items.

--Fixed map file bloat by culling map of cells that haven't been looked at in
  24 hours and re-inserting remaining cells whenever a server restarts.
  Culled cells go back to their natural, procedurally-generated state.

--Server was setting timeout when polling for socket activity even when more
  buffered messages were potentially available, allowing messages to pile up.
  Fixed so that we don't sleep at all when polling sockets if we received at
  least one client message in the last loop.

--Support for BUG protocol to allow client to report bugs and trigger log
  snapshots.

--Support for baby and family naming phrases in SAY messages, and reporting
  names to client with NM messages.

--Eve say limit never below 30 characters to allow saying long family names.

--Fixed crash on server exit caused by lookTime db being closed first.

--Fixed mistaken sending of additional PU updates for a player after death if
  what they're holding or wearing decays.




Version 68    2018-March-16

--Fixed login FPS checking to wait 0.1 seconds for things to settle after load.
  https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLife/pull/14

--Fixed so that murder weapon creation sound plays even if something is left
  in grave by murder transition.

--Fixed object bank bug that wasn't saving slotVert setting correctly.

--Fixed sound played when swapping one container with another.

--Fixed so that there's no generic pickup sound played when what you're holding
  changes as the result of a player-caused transition that results in an
  on-the-ground creation sound.

--Fixed so that isSpriteSubset doesn't consider color (damp adobe wall is
  subset of adobe wall).

--Fixed hint result to prefer showing actor or target that becomes deeper (we
  don't want to see empty bucket as the result of pooring water on a wall).

--Mousing over a person shows their relationship to you, if any.



Server Fixes:

--Fixed bad PU message sent by server, causing client crash, if player spawns
  on top of something deadly and dies immediately.  I think this only caused a
  crash in solo-player servers, but might also have screwed other stuff up in
  multi-player servers.  https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLife/issues/12

--Can no longer eat when full.  https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLife/pull/11

--Murder weapon changes:  last use transition target can specify a custom grave
  marker for murder victim (separate from what is left on ground or in grave if
  attack misses, which is specified by non-last-use transtion), and this can
  also specify a special state that the murder weapon goes into if the attack
  is successful (bloody knife on hit vs regular knife on miss).  Permanent
  objects, if held, cannot be dropped.  Thus, a murder weapon can become
  undroppable for a period of time post-murder.

--Can now swap one container with another on right click.

--Server support for LI lineage message about all players alive when you are
  born and about new babies that are born.




Version 66    2018-March-14

--Pushed address space of temporary useDummy objects up to start at value
  in nextObjectNumber.txt to deal with case of largest-ID object getting
  removed.  useDummy IDs used to be based on maxID in bank, which would shrink
  when largest-ID object is removed.

--Got pick-up sound playing correctly when a container swap happens.

--Client plays held object creation sound when heldTransitionSourceID is 0
  (for scream sound when a bloody knife is created after killing).



Server Fixes:

--Added work-around for basket-full-of-zeros bug that causes a client crash. 
  Not sure how a container could ever have 0-IDs in it.  Code is in place to
  clean this up whenever the server encounters it in the future (and not send it
  on to the client).

--Improved behavior of container swap action (right click while holding
  something).  It now swaps with the bottom-most item in the container that is
  different from what you're holding.  If all items in the container are
  identical to what you're holding, it acts like a normal container add action.

--Server sets 0 for heldTransitionSourceID as a result of killing.

--Reflector full threshold reduced from 95% to 90% to reduce chance of SERVER
  FULL errors when a player is assigned a server by the reflector.



Version 65    2018-March-13

--Fixed a crash if held baby disconnects while we're walking with it.

--Fixed a few uninitialized values found with Valgrind.

--Detecting when vsync settings have changed.

--Fixed bug causing other person to mysteriously walk long distance through
  center of chunk when they were last seen on one side of map chunk but appear
  later on other side.

--Fixed math of path length measuring for partial paths (length is
  currentPathStep + 1, not currentPathStep).

--Client handles negative, zero, or tiny move ETAs without computing negative,
  infinite, or huge move speeds.  This is the source of the map desync bugs.

--After temp login, blank fields are show to avoid confusion.

--Fixed so that our own eating sound isn't played until we hear from server
  that we actually ate.

--Update process now detects write permission errors, rolls back, and displays
  an error message.

--Game no longer pauses when minimized (clearing paused screen was annoying).

--Fullscreen borderless mode available (change with borderless.ini in
  settings folder---be careful, it's experimental).

--Fixed the baby-bouncing-forever bug, finally.




Server Fixes:

--With the server load fixes, seems safe to push population cap up to 60.

--Back down to 40.

--Server wasn't setting responsible player for container-remove action, causing
  container to appear emptied before responsible player finished walking there.

--Temporarily rolled back partial-map-chunk server load fix while I fix the
  client/server map sync bug.

--Server log.txt getting big.  Changed to make backup and rotate every 3 days.

--Saved serverOut.txt getting big, added a log rotator.

--Server now gives current mid-path possition in first playerUpdate for moving
  players instead of starting them at their start location along their paths.

--Server should never send negative values for move time remaining.

--Partial-map-chunk sending turned back on, given other fixes.

--Right-click to now puts held at top of container's stack and grabs bottom
  item.  Useful for cycling through what's in a container.





Version 64    2018-March-9

--Improved display of error message if game folder is read-only.

--Buttons no longer clicked if we drag into them (if press starts elsewhere).

--Fixed Editor pickers not to register clicks for presses that start elsewhere.

--Fixed double-sound play when use-dummy object with using sound transitions
  into something else (example:  shallow well into deep well).

--Fixed so that floor hugging code only duplicates botttom layer of neighboring
  floor (so that bear skin rug isn't duplicated oddly against a wall).

--Fixed ground tile cache to put unknown tile at 99999 instead of numbering
  them after the last known biome (when future biomes added, the old numbering
  causes collisions).

--Fixed bug in copying old chunk contained and subcontained over when a new
  map chunk is received by client.




Source Fixes:

--Fixed to flush caches after data update in live source distribution.




Server Fixes:

--Now support emails that use the + character.

--URL encoding fixed so that 0-9 and ~ are not encoded characters.

--Server update scripts now interleave updates in batches of servers, even 
  first, then odd.  This keeps half the servers online throughout most of the
  update process.

--Chasing animals now attempt exact distance to closest target instead of
  overshooting.

--Max players per server 60 instead of 200 just to be safe.  Saw some lag.

--Reflector report now shows totals at bottom.

--Improved the compile notes with more details.

--Launch is over.  No more Mr. Nice Guy.  Eating bonus dropping to 2 (was 3).

--Thermal model improved.  Heat around you is computed from scratch each time
  you stop moving, instead of building up incrementally with memory of previous
  heat maps from previous moves.  This fixes the "walking back and forth on a
  floor" heat explosion bug.  The heat map around a player was reduced from
  16x16 to 10x10, and the simulation is run for 2x more cycles.  This is
  slightly more efficient, and it also allows for more heat build-up, given
  that the heat system no longer has memory.

--Support for biomes with positive or negative heat values.

--Max players down to 40 per server until I fix lag.

--Mr. Nice Guy is back.  Eating bonus back to 3.

--Fixed so that carried-baby speech is delivered correctly after long parent
  walks.

--Implemented map chunk overlap detection.  When sending a new map chunk to the
  client, we avoid re-sending (or looking up) the tiles that overlap with the
  previous chunk that we sent that client.  This results in a 46% reduction in
  dbGet calls, a 65% performance increase for the map chunk lookup code, and a
  53% reduction in map message size, when walking back and forth on a
  container-filled test map.

--Server now skips check for heat-producing contained items around player when
  computing player's thermal map.  This was consuming substantial server
  resources.

--Reflector now uses read timeout with each server to avoid hanging
  indefinitely if a server answers but does not send data.

--Server now handles unexpected responses from ticket server (like 504 Gateway
  errors) without keeping a new connection in the loop forever.




Version 60    2018-February-28

--Fixed cannot-move-after-speaking bug on Mac by making E-click
  right-mouse-click alternative off by default (there's now a settings file).

--Replaced AppleScript System Events with Finder for MacOS find-the-folder
  work-around at first start-up (because System Events stops running on
  certain recent versions of MacOS).

--Changed Mac App bundle name to include version number as a work-around for
  failed updates on the Mac.




Server Fixes:

--Added commas to big numbers in homepage life stats.




Version 59     2018-February-27

--Fixed a crash when holding a baby and you get fed by someone else, and a few
  other situations when holding a baby.



Server Fixes:

--Nursing cost now 1 instead of (was 2 + floor(babyAge) ).

--Baby birth cost now 0 (was 10).

--Plus 2 food bonus on all food eaten (everything provides 2 more food).

--Several server settings are now reloaded each time a new player joins instead
  of only at server restart.

--Added script for cloning live settings to all servers from git repo.

--Food bonus up to 3 for now.

--Fixed a server crash when a moving object moves away just as a user action
  happens.

--Changed server update script to shut down servers one at a time so that
  people can keep playing during the update.




Version 58     2018-February-26

--Hiding email and account key after first successful login (to protect privacy
  of streamers).




Version 53     2018-February-25

--Fixed layer order changes in object editor to work with extra animations. 

--Added support for sprite layers that pop into existence during animation
  transitions.  If the fade for the layer is marked as fully hard, a visibility
  pop will happen.  Otherwise, the visibility fades like it used to.

--Import editor always shows crosshairs, even during select.

--Added control over phase of animation pauses with animation start pause time.
  Now possible to make pistons that pump one at a time, down the line.

--Fixed behavior of value sliders in editor when held mouse moves in and out of
  slider bar.

--Support for forcing number of significant figures on value sliders, and using
  extra digits for animation pause times.

--Added display of current sprite position in editor.

--Support for animations that always start at frame zero after transition,
  instead of continuing from frame where previous object, pre-transition, left
  off.

--Scene editor now displays object ID of current cell.

--Fixed bug in animation speed for moving objects.

--Fixed quit confirmation box to no longer be titled with PAUSED.

--Fixed editor so that containable containers have slot demo button visible.

--Fixed bug in hint system that was showing hints for generic one-time-use
  transtions as bare ground tranitions.



Server Fixes:

--Added transition failure log.

--Fixed server scripts that loop over remote servers with ssh in the loop
  (ssh was breaking the loop's file read operation, ssh -n fixes it).





Version 51     2018-February-8

--Added EQ to cut extreme low end and high end from recorded sound effects.

--Fixed hint system's handling of default transitions.  For example, goose pond
  now shows proper hint list, even though touching the pond with most objects
  causes the pond to temporarily transition (goose jumps in).

--Object editor shows F label when current sprite layer is flipped.

--Baking an object can now handle sprite flips properly.

--Fixed default object values when trimming a large sprite.

--Support for an extra x,y offset animation parameter per layer.

--Enabled 45-degree and zero buttons for vertical slot rotation in editor.

--Fixed with a hack so that clothing that has a held animation that includes
  rotation (which is applied when worn too) is more clickable (the click area
  used to be based on its un-rotated location, which didn't match its visual
  location).  The hack is not perfect and doesn't account for sprite parent
  relationships or x/y animation offsets, but it can be improved later if
  needed.

--Added support in editor for object layer moves that ignore parent links and
  copy/paste of difference from saved for a given layer.



Server Fixes:

--Fixed so that multi-use food sources (bites of pie) make it into food log
  properly.  Thanks Yvanhooe.




Version 48     2018-January-26

--Fixed log error message when downloading updates.

--Fixed randomization of client choice of multiple download update mirrors.

--Fixed crash in editor when loading an manipulating a transition with a
  negative actor.

--No longer playing using sound when a target object with no creation sound 
  goes through a use-dummy transition.  Still playing the using sound if the
  held tool changes with no creation sound (example:  bowl of water filled at
  pond plays only water bowl creation sound, while dumping bowl back into pond
  plays pond using sound).

--Hint for eventual outcome now shown when holding a partially-used object
  (example:  eating a pie gives you a plate eventually).  Hints for partially
  used object in general were disabled by mistake before.





Server Fixes:

--Old bad mother limit started at 2 and grew with population.  New limit 
  started at 1 and grew with pop/3.  Fixed it to start at 2.






Version 47     2018-January-22

--Auto-inherit closest on-screen home marker location when entering the world.
  Thus, babies can have a home, even though they aren't old enough to set one.

--0-y-old babies now revert to crying every time they speak.





Version 44     2018-January-19

--Sounds no longer play with slight random pitch variations.  This was causing 
  an unpleasant phaser-ish sound quality.

--Scene editor now allows automated time/age playing.

--Scene editor now allows starting and stopping of recording frames.

--Fixed baby held animation in scene editor.

--Fixed invisible baby bug.

--Fixed baby bad pathfinding bug after jumping out of arms.




Server Fixes:

--Bad mother limit now grows with population at 1/3 the old rate.

--New child-spacing algorithm based on a randomly chosen birth cooldown time
  for each mother.

--Babies born with 4 hunger bars instead of 2, but start out with only 2 full.

--Only females of fertile age can nurse babies.

--No more 1:1 food transfer from mother to baby when nursing.  Instead, there
  is a one-time pick-up cost of (baby's age + 2), and keeping baby fed is free
  after that, until baby is put back down.  Before, a nursing woman consumed
  food twice as fast while holding a baby (feeding two people with one hunger
  bar), which was too frantic.  

--No longer giving baby to most well-fed eligible woman on server.  Instead,
  picking a woman from a weighted distribution of all eligible women othe
  server based on how well-fed they are.  Thus, a hungry woman can have a baby
  sometimes.  Thanks Jared J.

--Fixed so that reverse use transition, that happen on a timer, can un-use
  object step by step instead of all the way back to parent object (example:
  berries on bush can grow back one berry at a time instead of all at once).




Version 42     2018-January-9

--Fixed game playback issue with aysnchronous file reads.

--Fixed the way that auto-generated code dependency files are handled.

--Support for floor usage sounds that override footstep sounds when an object
  is over a floor tile (wood floors can now have wooden footstep sounds that
  override default footstep sounds).

--Support for sounds that have multiple sub-sounds that are picked from at
  random whenever the sound plays.  For example, footstep variation (so
  footsteps aren't soo repetative sounding).

--Fixed so that moving animation sounds played for moving objects.

--Fixed movement glitch when holding down mouse outside a completely enclosed
  area with no path out. 

--Pasting animation sounds from person onto non-person now correctly clears
  sound age range.

--Sound reverbs no longer play in editor.  Better to hear raw sounds.

--Fixed client base move speed to compensate for new server 3.75 speed.

--Fixed bug in sound Paste All in animation editor.

--Animation editor can now copy/paste sounds from all animation types at once.

--Holding mouse to keep moving now treats mouse release as one final click.
  You walk to where you finally release the mouse.

--Fixed hold-to-move so that it works even when mouse is close to player.
  It does this by automatically extending the chosen path in the same
  direction.  This prevents a bunch of very short paths from being sent to the
  server.

--Fixed so that clicking on an unreachable object walks you as close as
  possible to it.  Before, it would result in no motion at all.

--Fixed autologin crash when email and account key not set.  Thanks tomberek.

--Editor and transition bank can now specify decays that are multiple epochs
  long.

--Fixed glitch in arm position when non-handheld object used on another object
  and no transition applies.

--Mousing over items in a container now changes tool tip text (to show you what
  item will be removed on right-click).

--Mousing over clothing, or items contained in clothing, now changes tool tip.

--Mousing over bare skin while holding edible now shows EAT tooltip.

--Fixed so that invisible-when-worn parts of clothing don't get moused-over
  when clothing is worn.

--Frame rate measuring and vsync detection/warning only happens on first run
  now, with results saved to settings folder.

--Display target frame rate and vsync mode on Settings screen, with button to
  re-detect.

--Fixed so that player death handled instantly even when game is paused.  Fixed
  so that final displayed age is age provided by server, not age updated with
  local clock (so if player dies while machine is asleep and receives death
  message later, proper death age will be displayed).  Also fixes problem with
  59-year rounding issue.  Thanks tomberek.

--Improved efficiency of message input buffers.

--Fixed broken game state on next life when player dies while pending messages
  are still in the queue.

--Added compression of all large message to protocol with new CM (compressed
  message) wrapper message type.

--Finally fixed the frozen baby after drop bug.

--Fixed bug in mid-path-step calculation when in-progress move for another
  player is almost done when we first learn about it.





Server Fixes:

--Base movement speed is now 3.75 tiles per second instead of 4 tiles per
  second to ensure that client camera moves at a whole number of pixels (8) per
  frame at 60 fps.  Modified speeds (due to age or carrying things) are also
  rounded to ensure a whole number of pixels per frame, or in the case of very
  slow speeds, a whole number of frames per pixel.
 
--Fixed so that in-progress player moves are no longer reported to client when
  a new map chunk is sent to the client.  We're reporting moves with a radius
  of 32, and our chunks have a radius of 16, so the client has already heard
  about any moves starting around the map chunk.  This fixes a glitch in other
  player movement when their move ends in a new chunk as the observing player
  moves along.

--Fixed bug in life stats processing across multiple game servers.

--Fixed so that all crontab scripts run with bash.  FoodStats update was
  broken otherwise.

--Distroying a container now causes the contents to be scattered on the ground
  around where the container used to be (they used to just disappear).
  Example:  picking up a grave with a basket to make a basket of bones no
  longer makes the contents of the grave disappear.

--Fixed map generation so that fractals are centered around 0,0 to make testing
  scale factor easier.

--Shrunk map scale by a factor of 3 and cut map scale increase factor
  associated with additional biomes in half.  Local biome areas are now
  smaller, and you have to walk less far to find a biome boundary.  This makes
  the landscape generally more interesting.

--Shrunk map density variation scale by a factor of 4.  The empty regions of
  the map are now much smaller.

--Support for sped up and frozen map transition times for testing.

--Can no longer close a vertically-oriented door on top of someone who is
  standing still in that spot.

--Fixed so that non-moving player is still killed by old age.  We check all
  ages every server step.  Age-death time is more accurate now, because server
  sleep is shortened if an age-related death is near.

--Fixed crash when newly connected player errors before first PU message is
  sent to them.

--Improved efficiency of message input buffers.

--Stress testing server revealed that fractal map algorithm was producing the
  most CPU load.  Added caching of the fractal map (with a memory cost of 768 
  KiB), reducing this load by 10x.  Now database queries are the primary load,
  as they should be.

--Fixed to close client connection if writing to their socket ever fails (for
  example, if their write buffer is full).  Before, there was undefined
  behavior client-side when partial protocol messages came through if the
  server was under heave load and its write buffers were full.

--Fixed child race selection to not wrap around.

--Reflector now seeds random generator with player's email instead of IP.

--Moved main server to separate Linode.  Reflector now handles all game servers
  as remote servers.

--Backup script now includes remote server lifeLogs and also foodLogs.




Version 40     2017-December-1

--Old object's using sound now played when a player causes an object on the
  ground to change, and the new object has no creation sound (example: digging
  up a home marker produces a skewer, which has no creation sound, so the home
  marking using sound is played).

--Fixed death marker checkbox in editor to not hide a few other checkboxes,
  simplifying the widget visibility calculation in the editor.

--Replaced finicky auto-HOME system with player-settable homeMarker objects.
  Thanks Paul V.

--hardToQuit mode now hides buttons on rebirth choice page.  autoLogin support.
  Preparing game for being show in public.




Version 39     2017-November-29

--Fixed git handling of .txt line endings on Windows.

--Fixed unix2dos conversion program behavior on Windows.

--Back to old camera movement.  It's jumpier, but doesn't let you get so
  annoyingly close to the edge of the screen.  Thanks Casey C. and Jared J.

--Replaced piano hunger sound with ukulele A-minor chord so that it stands out
  from the piano music.




Version 37     2017-November-28

--Windows can't handle pointers larger than 32x32, which caused a crash in
  bigPointer support on large displays when we tried to load a 40x40 cursor.
  Thanks Erik O.

--Fixed login error if you hit ENTER to leave the email field.  Thanks Erik O.

--Click-to-drop now highlights target square of drop.  Thanks Casey C.

--Fixed OGG player to handle mono OGG files (was only playing in L channel).

--Added an automatic HOME compass (based on area where you conducted the most
  activity).  Thanks Paul V.

--Improved camera to not move at all if player is moving around center of
  screen.  Thanks Bennett F.

--Spell check of object descriptions in editor.




Server Fixes:

--Food capacity decays down to 4 at old age instead of 2.

--Clothing speed multiplier applies when clothing is worn (but not when riding
  something else).

--Each character now has their own speed multiplier (some people can be faster
  or slower).  Thanks Mez.

--Improved bad mother detection in low-population situations.  A lone Eve now
  only needs to have two babies die before a new Eve is spawned.  The bad
  mother threashold increases from 2 up to 10 dead babies as the server
  population increases.




Version 35     2017-November-15

--Sub-containers, one-level deep (basket in a cart) now supported.

--Creation sound no longer played with an object moves.

--Fixed so that not just short human-made objects are mouse-through-able, but
  all short objects.  So if you build a wall in front of a rock, you can still
  mouse through to the rock.

--Fixed arm position when other players pick something up.

--Fixed stutter-step of other players during long, continuous movements.

--Optimized sprite drawing code with profiler to increase maximum number of 
  sprites that can be drawn per frame.

--More improvements to the way object center offsets are computed to be used
  for held positions.  Now true visible sprite width (instead of total image
  width) is used, and 90 degree rotations are accounted for.  This fixes the
  held position of the basket of bones, for example, which contains a wide
  sprite that is rotated vertically.

--Fixed pickers in editor to not need to reset results page number when some
  results potentially deleted on another editor screen.  All editor screens
  now hold their picker pages when flipping back and forth between screens.
  Pickers now automatically rewind back past empty results pages.

--Temperature arrow positions now rounded to whole pixels.

--Fixed bug in way objectHeight calculation made use of sprite anchor offsets.

--Fixed so that target fps is chosen from list of possible fps in settings file,
  even if vsync isn't enforcing that fps.

--Pathfinding fixed to prevent walking through a door in your grid square after
  it has been closed in front of you.

--Fixed to prevent click-through of short objects behind short objects 
  (example:  open door that partially overlaps nearby wall, wall should not be
  able to click through door to hit wall).

--Fixed so that camera-settle speed takes FPS into account (before, it took too
  long to settle at lower fps after the player stops moving).

--Fixed so that only one sound plays during a transition, even if something new
  is created in the player's hand and on the ground.  The ground object's
  creation sound takes priority.

--Fixed to avoid clicking on objects during continued, mouse-held-down walking.

--Fixed misclick issue when clicking on objects near the edge of the screen.

--Fixed case where continous walking mode cancelled after mousing over a clump 
  of blocking objects.

--Fixed so that held object can produce heat.  Contained and sub-contained
  objects now can produce heat as well, shielded by the r-value of their
  container.  Items contained in clothing can produce heat, shielded by
  clothing r-value.

--Support for floors.

--Support for extra animation slots (for use in trailer animations).

--Support for live animation triggers in game client (for trailer).

--Fixed other player wiggle direction on first action caused by uninitialized
  value.

--Fixed so that newly-added player doesn't get drawn until all their sprites
  are loaded.

--Eve's camp location only remembered if Eve dies of old age (for that same
  player to spawn there the next time they play Eve).  If Eve dies younger than
  that, that player will respawn in a random location in their next Eve life.
  Repeat suicide is no longer a viable solo player strategy.

--Fixed animation blending when a moving object comes to rest.

--Fixed frozen rotation frame count use in animation editor.

--Drawing grid square highlights when holding something (to show you where it 
  will be put down).

--Fixed youth body position on rideable objects.

--Fixed poor cornering and endless circling at high movement speeds.

--Fixed overshooting at very high movement speeds.  Speed multiplier of 10 is
  now useable, and 20 is borderline useable.

--Support for container slots having a parent sprite so that they move and
  rotate with that parent sprite.

--Fixed creation-sound-playing code that checks if newly created object is a
  sprite-sub-set of the source object so that it allows for global
  transpositions of the sub-sprites (example:  picking up froe from pile of
  boards should not play froe creation sound).

--Fixed display of animation for held object in animation editor.

--Added scene editor and support for test maps on server.

--Anim editor now shows test ground sprite when showing a still person with a
  held object.

--Fixed so that arrow keys have no effect on invisible cursor position when
  typing a chat message on note paper.

--Fixed glitch in pasting from clipboard on Linux.  Now uses xclip to avoid 
  X Windows event issues.

--Support for editing and submitting game reviews from inside game client.




Server fixes:

--Food log now outputs every hour regardless of whether players are eating at
  the turn of the hour.

--Server can now load a test map from a file that overrides the proc-gen map.

--New Eve placement that tracks most recent camp separately for each player.
  New solo players are placed randomly in the wilderness.  Repeat solo Eves
  are returned to their last camp.

--Food log report includes past month.

--Fixed so that Eve placement radii don't grow beyond 1024 if a player 
  continues to die young repeatedly.  They used to double until 32-bit overflow.





Version 32     2017-August-15

--Fixed assumption that time() returns 32-bit int values (see server fixes
  for details).

--On screens larger than 1920x1080, or if settings/forceBigPointer.ini set,
  double-sized mouse pointer is used.

--New death reason:  Nursing Starvation.

--New noise graphic to draw outside of known map regions during server lag.

--Now all short human-made or human-moveable objects are mouse-able when they
  are covered up by a foreground object. 

--Fixed vertical cross-over point for player feet when walking between cells
  to reduce the appearance of objects passing through their legs.

--Added foot-cross-over guide mark in object editor.

--Added edit-time computation of object pixel heights.  Using this in server 
  natural map generation to avoid placing short objects behind tall objects.

--Fixed animation editor glitches when speed mult < 1.0

--Moving animals.

--Fixed overlap issues for people moving in same cell.

--You can now feed anyone, regardless of age.

--Eating animation and eating sound played when someone is fed.

--Fixed glitches when a moving parent dies while carrying you.

--Support for using non-human-deadly objects at a distance (e.g., for hunting 
  animals).

--Fixed editor crash when testing clothing position.

--Parent/Child buttons in animation editor to make limb animation easier.

--Copy All in animation editor now makes sure destination sprites match source
  sprites during paste.
 
--Clothing now goes into its held animation instead of ground animation when 
  wearer stops moving.

--Support for demo scenery in animation editor so we can test moving object
  foot visibility behind non-blocking objects.

--Added horizontal swap buttons in transition editor.






Server fixes:

--Fixed a typo that was causing a crash.

--Fixed assumption that time() returns 32-bit int values.  In fact, the C 
  standard says nothing about the time_t type.  It is not even safe to
  subtract one time() value from another.  Completely overhauled my time
  implementation to assume nothing beyond what is specified in the C standard,
  now measuring time as a double-precision floating point number of seconds 
  from my own epoch, which fixes the year 2038 problem in a standards-compliant
  way for 285 million years into the future.
  (Note:  the year 2038 problem is only fixed on platforms where the 
   time.h time() function works beyond year 2038... for example NOT 32-bit
   Linux.  On broken platforms, there is no way to measure time beyond 2038.)

--Storing time values in database as 64-bit floats (doubles).  Added a new
  mapTime.db database to support this without doubling the rest of the
  database size (time values are stored in a separate, double-wide database).

--New baby is given to the most well-fed fertile woman on the server (still
  observing the 2-living-child-max rule and bad mother rule). 

--Giving birth now takes 10 out of mother's food supply, with a min remaining 
  food of 4.

--Nursing a baby now transfers food from the mother's store to the baby's
  store.  This adds a new death reason:  Nursing Starvation.  Picking up a
  baby always consumes at least one food, so a good baby will wait until they
  need food before asking.  Nursing is still more efficient than hand-feeding
  because the food transfer fits the baby perfectly (where as a berry has a
  tendency to over-feed, beyond the size of the baby's stomach, thus wasting 
  food).

--Fixed bug that could cause a walking player who dies to appear at their
  destination after death.

--Life stats script now works incrementally only on latest log files.

--Server life log now records parent chain length for each birth.

--Fixed bug in server life log that caused log file to be reopened repeatedly.

--Added hourly food logging support to server.

--Food stats report for website.

--Fixed server-side bug that was causing object creation sounds to sometimes
  play when they are removed from a container.




Version 30     2017-July-28

--Fixed UnixSource build process to not overwrite user's custom settings.

--Fixed socket handling to detect send errors.

--Recording window minimized status (to handle alt-tabbing in recordings).

--LOGIN message is now a fixed length regardless of email address so that
  playback of recordings works on machines with a different email.ini setting.

--Fixed hint-related crash when picking up a baby.

--Added info about what you just ate when you drank breast milk.

--Fixed editor crash when editing an empty category.

--Fixed so that measured, set frame rate is included in recording header
  (recording doesn't start until after frame rate is measured).  This ensures 
  proper playback of games recorded at non-60fps frame rates.

--Fixed two memory leaks.

--When mousing over something dropped behind another object, highlight now
  shows through the blocking object.

--Drop-behind mousability now applies to objects dropped by other players in
  your vacinity, as well as objects changed (but not dropped).  It is limited
  to objects that are less than one tile tall (to prevent annoying click-
  through on trees that are behind other trees).

--Fixed to play useDummy using target sounds (even though target changes).

--Support for reverse-use transitions (example:  putting clay back in clay pit).

--Distinction between lastUse transition for actor and target.

--Support for use-appear sprites in addition to use-vanish sprites (example:
  wear marks on axe).

--Fixed so that mouse highlighting works for objects that are three tiles
  below mouse instead of just two.

--Fixed so that music doesn't drop out for sake of hunger sounds at very end
  of old age life.  There are no audible hunger sounds to interrupt the music
  at that point.

--You can now feed/cloth the elderly (over age 55) just like you can for a
  baby (under age 5).




Server fixes:

--Fixed glitch in reported baby food capacity when baby is fed.

--Changed so that Eve radius only expanded if 10 Eves die under age 16 with no
  Eve living past 20 in the process. 

--Eve placement based on previous object placements now weights objects based
  on their depth in the tech tree.  So more advanced objects count more when
  finding a camp to put Eve into.

--Shrunk default Eve placement radius from 20 down to 2 so finding the camp is
  easier.

--Bad mother problem solved by not giving a mother more babies if they have
  already had more than 10 babies and all of them are already dead.

--Support for server-wide epoch time that can be specified in auto-decay
  transitions with an auto-decay value of -1.  Thus, the epoch time can be
  adjusted with a server setting globally instead of needing to edit all the
  transition times.

--Fixed to avoid randomizing decay time of map objects that are set by players.
  Naturally-occurring objects still have their decay times set randomly the
  first time they are seen (to avoid lock-step with identical objects in the
  same area).  Now fires burn the same duration every time, and ember-making
  isn't so time-finicky.

--Fixed so you cannot put things back into a grave.

--Fixed so that we stop polling a socket once a player dies, even though we 
  keep the socket open to allow them to receive their death message, to avoid
  poll busy-looping on a closed socket in the event of a disconnection.

--Fixed a memory leak if server is quit before connection is closed to a dead
  player.

--Server now has all players look at the map around them periodically to keep
  decaying objects in a live state (so that we keep decay cycling them).
  Before, objects with longer decays would stop transitioning on the player's
  screen while the player was statnding still.




Version 28     2017-July-21     

--Other player action animations no longer interrupt their walking if the 
  action message arrives before we see them finish their walk locally.

--Improved sprite trimming algorithm (used to tile large sprites to reduce
  pixel fill) to eliminate visible seams along tile boundaries by cross-fading
  tiles.

--Changed the way that actions of other players are handled, greatly increasing
  the smoothness of other player's motions and actions.  We now play other
  player's walking paths at our own rate and defer actions that should
  happen at the end of their walk (like picking something up) until after
  our local version of their walk has completed.  This means that the 
  truth as it exists on the server can play back with a time delay locally,
  but it will mesh up better with the walking actions we've received
  from the server (why show them pick something up if we haven't even
  shown them get there yet?  It looks weird, even if it's closer to the truth.
  This means that slightly more often, we'll go to grab an object that
  another player has already grabbed, and our client will know that it has
  been grabbed but won't show it yet because the other player isn't finished
  walking yet.  We'll be surprised when we fail to pick up the object and
  the other player gets it instead.  But this was possible before too,
  due to network latency.  Now we have an additional opportunity for it
  caused by local animation consistency latency.

--Fixed "forever flying" object pick-ups when we walk away after pick-up by
  gradually speeding the object up the longer it has been in the air, so
  it quickly catches up to us as we walk away.

--Fixed potential crash when the player holding you dies.

--Fixed circling forever at end of short paths by going directly toward final
  spot if we detect that too many steps have occurred.

--Pathmarking code now accounts for diagonal path steps.

--Support for making objects that are permanent and drawn behind player without
  blocking walking (e.g., roads).

--Fixed visual round-off errors at high coordinate values by offsetting all
  coordinates from our starting location before using them as to-draw positions
  (32 bit floats cannot represent large coordinates with enough precision).

--Map pull mode now auto-logs-in.

--Death screen now shows age and cause of death.

--Category system in editor to make abstract transitions that apply to a class
  of objects.

--Unix Source bundle now ships as a script that pulls from live source 
  repositories.

--Permanent, non-holdable objects can be food, allowing you to eat from them
  without setting down the tool in your hand.

--Eating food now stacks instead of filling you to a pre-defined per-food 
  maximum.  Eating one berry might fill you up to 4, but eating two in a row
  would fill you up to 8.

--Split ground overlay into 4 1024x1024 tiles to deal with bug in larger mipmap
  generation on some graphics cards.

--NumUses system for objects that auto-generates intermediary objects and 
  transitions.  Example:  a berry bush can have a berry picked from it 10 
  times before becoming empty, and berry sprites can disappear from it along 
  the way.  The intermediary objects are replaced with unused versions of the 
  main object at server shutdown.

--Fixed way object ancestor cycle is detected so that kindling creation sound
  plays when long shaft is chopped into kinding.

--Support for generic use transitions.  Full water bottle can become an empty
  water bottle whenever it is successfully used (no longer have to define
  that it becomes empty in each and every situation).

--Fixed bug in min priority heap implementation that was resulting in
  badly ordered priorities.

--Music fades so that hungry sound can be heard.

--Using sound for target, unchanged object played in case where our held
  object changes (example:  putting clay back into deposit, dumping water back
   in pond).





Server fixes:

--Fixed hiccup in parent animation when we're being carried long distances due
  to unneeded player updates mid-move when we reach a new map chunk.

--Fixed disappearing baby when you click on your clothes when holding a baby.
  (You now cannot remove your clothes while holding a baby.)  Thanks Josh C.

--Reflector now seeds random number generator with your IP address.  Repeat
  suicide and reconnection won't send you to different servers.

--Added sane behavior at actual edges of world instead of letting player walk
  off edge and cause a crash.





Version 27     2017-July-1

--Content update.




Version 26     2017-July-1

--Fixed server crash when baby jumps out of arms.

--Fixed bug in logging age at time of death.L

--Better logging of failed client connections.

--Piano note sound to indicate start of starvation, repeats on last hunger bar.

--Highlighting object under mouse.

--Fixed crash when pathfinding or clicking off edge of known map (in case of 
  server lag).

--Fixed a few uninitialized values found with Valgrind.

--New Eve placement method (random within radius around largest old camp).

--Clicking on empty ground cell containing a blocking object no longer counts
  as a click on that object.  Reduces surprise tree clicks.

--Dropped items that you're standing in front of are no longer clickable 
  through your body.

--Right clicking a holdable object while holding another object causes them
  to swap.  Can easily swap what you're holding with something else.

--Other player's eating sounds now play.

--After dying, upon getting reborn, whole connection process started from 
  scratch.  This insures that you will find out about a backup server if
  the main server has crashed (which may have caused your death).

--Time no longer halts during pause (server messages used to pile up during
  pause and play back all at once with wild results).

--Improved the way clothing R-values are summed, adding a weight for each body 
  part.  A hat is now more important than a shoe, and a really insulating shoe
  cannot make you overheat.

--Changed heat propagation to use eight weighted neighbor cells.

--Reduced number of heat propagation simulation cycles to slow heat changes.

--Mac build now defaults to windowed mode.

--Added code to tell Windows that we are handling our own scaling.

--Fixed game recording on Windows.

--Switched to GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP instead of gluBuild2DMipmaps on platforms
  that support it (gluBuild2DMipmaps was crashing on one particular mac).
