* Don't let threads block on output to another player thread's
socket. Such blocking violates basic design assumptions and can
cause all kinds of grief. In particular, it causes player session
flash and asynchronous telegram notification many years ago.
* Threads sleeping until a specified time could return early under
Windows. This could cause double-updates.
+ * Fix fallout damage (was broken in 4.2.19).
+ * Fix show sector s (was broken in 4.2.19).
* Fix deliver not to deliver friendly civilians into occupied
sectors.
- * Fix mil duplication in board. Broken in 4.2.14.
+ * Fix mil duplication in board (was broken in 4.2.14).
* Fix stack smash in lrange, shoot and execute. Remote holes, and
the last one doesn't even require authentication.
* Fix crash bug in emp_config parsing.
* Fix buffer overruns in turn and shutdown.
* Fix second argument of shutdown.
- * Fix show sector s. Broken in 4.2.19.
* tele and turn now abort on EOF.
* Fix display of MOTD and game down message of maximum size.
* Correctly support telnet line termination on input. Previously,
* Remove obscure login command list.
* Convert client from obsolete termcap to terminfo, and clean up
terminal handling.
- * Rename info topics so they don't just differ in case. Rename deity
- command hidden to peek because its info topic clashed with that of
- option HIDDEN.
* New fairland option -h to print usage information. Improved
command line syntax diagnostics. Exit unsuccessfully on unknown
options.
* Fix news for land unit defensive support.
* Properly mark sea mines hit by retreating ships. Unmark mines
cleared by bridges.
- * Fix diagnostics for unknown selector names in conditionals. Broken
- in 4.2.20.
+ * Fix diagnostics for unknown selector names in conditionals (was
+ broken in 4.2.20).
* Fix selector name clashes: rename ship selector mobquota to mquota,
land selector for reaction range limit from rad to rmax.
* Fix Windows services for relative file names on command line or in
- econfig. Broken in 4.2.20.
+ econfig (was broken in 4.2.20).
* econfig keys ship_grow_scale, plane_grow_scale and land_grow_scale
are now float. This gives deities finer control over maximum
efficiency gain.
* Improve syntax of read for deities.
* Code cleanups.
* Some info topic names differed only in case, which loses on
- case-insensitive file systems, and is a bad user interface even when
- it works. Change those names.
- * Thanks to Doug Wescott, sheep are finally covered properly in info.
