## [v2018.11.18] `November 18 2018`

### Added

- Added an option to prevent character renames when in a guild or a party. This is the official behavior, but disabled by default since it's unnecessary in Hercules. To enable, `char_configuration/use_aegis_rename` can be set to `true` in `char-server.conf`. (#1866, issue #1805)
- Added the script command `data_to_string()`, to return the string representation of the given data (counterpart to `getd()`). (#2304)
- Added/updated packets, encryption keys and message tables for clients up to 2018-11-14. (#2310, #2321)
- Added a configuration option for the maximum delay allowed by `@channel setopt MessageDelay` command, see `chsys/channel_opt_msg_delay` in `channels.conf`. (#2287)
- Added a configuration option for more accurate emulation of the HP display on dead characters. This setting is enabled by default, but the old, less confusing, behavior is available by setting `display_fake_hp_when_dead` to `false` in `client.conf`. (#1215, issues #889 and #840)
- Added `common/packets`, to provide a common interface to the packet DB, shared by all three servers. (#2321)
- Added proof of concept of compile time validation of packet struct definition against the packet lengths DB (currently only for `ZC_ITEM_PREVIEW`). (part of #2321)
- Added runtime client-server packet length validation in `RFIFOSKIP()` and `WFIFOSET()`. An unchecked `WFIFOSET2()` alternative is still provided, for packets that lack a db entry. (part of #2321)
- Added runtime validation for the size of `WIFOHEAD()` buffer allocations. (part of #2321)

### Changed

- Made `getunits()` stop unnecessarily iterating when the maximum specified amount of units is reached. (#2105)
- Updated the item bonus documentation, converted to the Markdown format in `doc/item_bonus.md`. (#2259)
- Improved the channel delay message to include the remaining time before a new message can be sent. (#2286)
- Removed the unused `type` argument from `getnpcid()`. All the shipped scripts have been updated. (#2289)
- Improved the `charlog` to include the stats, class, hair color and style whenever available. This affects the character selection and rename log entries, that had most fields zeroed before. (#2320)
- Updated the quest variables documentation, converted to the Markdown format in `doc/quest_variables.md`. (#2256)
- Updated the monster modes documentation, converted to the Markdown format in `doc/mob_db_mode_list.md`. (#2255)
- Documented `flag` of the `status->heal()` function through the `enum status_heal_flag`. (part of #1215)
- Added packet versions for all server types to the socket datasync validation. (part of #2321)

- Fixed the gitlab-ci builds with clang-4.0, which was removed from Debian testing/unstable. (#2323)
- Fixed an issue that caused a character leaving their guild to still receive some `#ally` messages from certain allied guilds. (#2322)
- Fixed an issue that caused a character joining a guild not to join its `#ally` channel group. (part of #2322)
- Fixed a duplicated line in the `@channel` help output. (part of #2322)
- Fixed some code that assumed a character to be already on a map and attempt to leave an invalid `#map` channel when logging in. (part of #2322)

### Removed

- Removed support for the `MINICORE` libraries, which were unused but needlessly built since the new mapcache system was implemented in #1552. (#2319)

## [v2018.02.11] `February 11 2018`
### Added
- Added/updated packets support for clients from 2017-12-13 to 2018-01-24. (part of #1957)

  - New GM commands: `@claninfo`, `@joinclan`, `@leaveclan`, `@reloadclans`, `@cvcon` and `@cvcoff`.
  - New script commands: `clan_join()`, `clan_leave()` and `clan_master()`; extended `strcharinfo()` and `getcharid()`.
  - Configuration changes: see `conf/clans.conf`, `conf/map/logs.conf`, `db/clans.conf`, `db/*/map_zone_db.conf`.
  - Note: This requires the SQL migrations `2017-06-04--15-04.sql` and `2017-06-04--15-05.sql`.
  - Note: The `npc/re/other/clans.txt` script is now loaded by default in renewal mode.
- Added several (status-icon related) constants to the script engine (through the new `constants.inc` file). (part of #1718)
- Implemented the missing HPM interfaces in the login server (account, ipban, lchrif), added the missing variables into the login interfaces. (#1963, issue #1908)
  - The `_sql` suffix has been removed from the source files in the login server.
  - Functions in `account.c` and `loginlog.c` have been prefixed with `account_` and `loginlog_` respectively.

## [v2018.01.14] `January 14 2018`
### Added
- Added support for the `AllowReproduce` flag in the skill DB. This supersedes the skill_reproduce_db. (#1943)
- Added support for the `ZC_PROGRESS_ACTOR` packet. The packet is exposed to the script engine through the `progressbar_unit()` command (available on PACKETVER 20130821 and newer). (#1929)
- Added support for the new item drop packet for the Zero clients. The packet is controlled by the `ShowDropEffect` and `DropEffectMode` item DB flags and ignored by non-Zero clients. (#1939)
- Added support for the new Map Server Change packet 0x0ac7. (part of #1948)

### Changed
- Always enabled assertions and null pointer checks. In order to disable them (very discouraged, as it may lead to security issues), it is now necessary to edit `nullpo.h`. (#1937)

### Changed
- Applied script standardization to the Old Glast Heim instance script. (#1883)
- Split packets.h into two files: packets.h and packets_shuffle.h. (part of #1923)

## [v2017.11.19+1] `November 24 2017` `PATCH 1`
### Fixed
- Suppressed assertions in the Skill DB accessors when called with `skill_id = 0` (normal attacks). (#1910, issue #1909)

## [v2017.11.19] `November 19 2017`
### Added
- Added several missing members to the login interface. (Part of #1891)
- Added support for colored character server population counter in the service selection list. Configurable through `users_count` in login-server.conf. (#1891)
- Added top-level command `miniboss_monster` to label monsters as minibosses, and to send them as such to the client. (part of #1889)
- Added support for 2017-10-25 - 2017-11-01 clients. (#1889)
- Added support to display NPCs with player classes, including equipment and styles (best with clients starting from 20170726). This extends `getunitdata()` and `setunitdata()` with support for `UDT_SEX`, `UDT_HAIRSTYLE`, `UDT_HAIRCOLOR`, `UDT_HEADBOTTOM`, `UDT_HEADMIDDLE`, `UDT_HEADTOP`, `UDT_CLOTHCOLOR`, `UDT_SHIELD`, `UDT_WEAPON`, `UDT_ROBE`, `UDT_BODY2`. (#1893)
- Added type constants for the `getiteminfo()` and `setiteminfo()` script commands. Existing third party code must be updated to use the new constants (see the pull request description and the command documentation for details). (#1902)
- Added global function `F_GetAmmoType()`, counterpart to `F_GetWeaponType()` for ammunitions. Both functions have now been updated to only check the subtype if the item type is correct (`IT_AMMO` and `IT_WEAPON` respectively). (part of #1902)
- Added support for the Skill Scale packet, available in client versions 20151223 and newer. (#1903)

### Changed
- Applied script standardization to the Octopus Cave instance script. (#1882)
- Applied script standardization to the Ghost Palace instance script. (#1879)
- Applied script standardization to the Sara's Memory instance script. (#1884)
- Extended the script command `setequipoption()` with the possibility to remove item options from an equipment piece. (#1865)
- Updated the `QTYPE_*` constants (`questinfo()`, `showevent()`) to support the new 2017 client icons. (#1894)
- Applied script standardization to the Orc's Memory instance script. (#1872)
- Applied script standardization to the Sealed Shrine instance script. (#1873)
- Extended the global function `F_GetArmorType()` to support costumes and shadow equipment. (#1836)
- Extended the script commands `has_instance()` and `has_instance2()` with suport to search instances of type `IOT_NONE`. (#1397)
- Applied script standardization and improvements to the Endless Tower instance script. (#1862)
- Cleared some confusion between skill IDs and indexes through the codebase. Rewritten Skill DB accessors in a safer, more readable way. (part of #1896)

### Deprecated
- The use of numeric type constants with `getiteminfo()` and `setiteminfo()` is deprecated. For technical reasons, no deprecation notice is displayed. (part of #1902)

### Removed
- The `MAX_SKILL` constant has been removed, in favor of the more clear `MAX_SKILL_DB`, to be used in all places that use the compacted Skill DB array. For use with the non-compacted clientside Skill IDs, the `MAX_SKILL_ID` constant is still available. (part of #1896)

### Fixed
- Fixed compilation warnings when compiling with gcc-7. (#1887)
- Fixed the display flag for monsters labeled as `boss_monster` to be that of MVP monsters instead of miniboss monsters. (part of #1889)
- Fixed a subtle error in case `skill->unit_group_newid` overflows, causing certain skill unit entries to get stuck and never get deleted correctly. This can manifest itself with some monster spawns becoming immune to certain AoE spells having the `UF_NOOVERLAP` flag (Storm Gust, Lord of Vermillion, etc). (#1896)
- Implemented MATK support in the `getiteminfo()` and `setiteminfo()`. This functionality was previously advertised as availble in the command documentation, but was not implemented. (part of #1902)
- Restored View Sprite support in the `getiteminfo()` and `setiteminfo()`. This functionality was lost with #1828. (part of #1902, issue #1895)
- Reimplemented the global function `F_GetArmorType()` to reflect the fact that  `ITEMINFO_LOC` returns a bitmask. The function now handles multi-slot headgears and other uncommon cases better. (part of #1902)
- Corrected some incorrect data types passed to the SQL `StmtBind` functions, causing query errors and data loss. Said functions will now have a runtime assertion to ensure the right data type is passed. Third party code needs to be updated to reflect this stricter requirement. (#1901, issue #1531)
- Corrected some RODEX related queries in case `MAX_SLOTS` or `MAX_ITEM_OPTIONS` are set to custom values. (part of #1901)

## [v2017.10.22+1] `October 22 2017` `PATCH 1`
### Fixed
- Fixed a wrong null pointer check in `logmes()`, which caused the command to never log and instead print debug information.

## [v2017.10.22] `October 22 2017`
### Added
- Added the script command `getmapinfo()`, which allows to obtain misc information about a map. (#1852)
- Added an option to restrict party leader changes to characters on the same map. Controlled by the setting `party_change_leader_same_map` (defaults to true). (#1812)
- Added initial support (shuffle packets, obfuscation keys) for clients 2017-09-27, 2017-10-02, 2017-10-11, 2017-10-18. (#1859)
- Added the `noautoloot` mapflag, allowing to disable the `@autoloot` functionality on a map by map basis. (#1833)

### Changed
- Extended the script command `logmes()` with an option to log to the `atcommandlog` table. (#1843)
- Updated RoDEX, with support for packetver `20170419` and newer. (#1859)
- Updated Exp-related packets and handling functions to support values larger than 2 billions (as seen in packetver `20170830` and newer). (#1859)
- Changed the diagnostic message in `skill_init_unit_layout()` to report the skill ID instead of its index. (#1854)

### Fixed
- Corrected the Kafra dialog in case a Doram without the Summoner's Basic Skill attempts to open the Storage. (#1864)
- Changed the cell stack counting algorithm to ignore invisible NPCs, improving the Dancer Quest experience as well as other cases of hidden NPCs blocking off certain cells. (#1827)
- Improved the handling of the `cardfix` value to make it more resistant to overflows, especially in renewal mode. Simplified the related renewal/pre-renewal conditional code. (#1825)
- Fixed some compilation warnings occurring in VS2017. (#1870)

### Other
- New versioning scheme and project changelogs/release notes (#1853)
