2007/03/17

	* Removed .gat from configs [Lupus]
2007/03/14

2007/02/16
	* Collapsed config settings "sg_miracle_skill_min_duration" and

	  defaults to an hour (skill.conf).

	  setting. [Skotlex]

	  produce_potion_name_input, making_arrow_name_input, holywater_name_input,
	  cdp_name_input into a single config produce_item_name_input which uses
	  bitmasks to determine what it affects. See battle/item.conf for details.
	* Updated arrow_decrement to have 3 possible values: Disabled, Enabled, and
	  Enabled + Autoguess (gives arrow consumption as appropiate to
	  plagiarized/acquired skills). eA previously had a hardcoded '2' setting,
	  now it's 1 by default as it should be. [Skotlex]
2007/01/28

	  homunculus multiple times. Defaults to no.

2007/01/12
	* Updated the information about ip rules and DDoS protection in 
	  packet_athena.conf and commented out the line "allow: all" so 
	  connections are rejected when a DDoS is detected. [FlavioJS]
2007/01/08

2006/12/20
	* Fixed the meaning of stdout_with_ansisequence and changed the default 
	  value to no. [FlavioJS]
2006/12/18
	* Added hom_setting to specify which homunculus 'quirks' are in effect. The
	  default activates all of them, if you set them to 0 then homuncs will not
	  be treated in any special matter, pretty much like standard mobs. if I
	  missed any 'quirky' homunc behaviour from it, report it so it can be added
	  to the list (This setting was added to pet.conf).
	* flooritem_lifetime now accepts a much higher max value (previously it was
	  65k when the default was 60k)
	* Removed monster_ai 0x80 since it's now handled by hom_setting.
2006/12/12
	* Added monster_ai&0x400 to use the previous 'smart' criteria that prevents
	  mobs from fighting each another, since now they are all natural enemies
	  of each another. [Skotlex]
2006/11/29
	* Added Rachel Santuary to nomemo mapflags [Playtester]
2006/11/22
	* Added import/script_conf.txt to keep OnPCxxxxxEven settings [Lupus]
	* Modified slaves_inherit_speed (monster.conf): 0 never. 1 - when the
	  master can move. 2 - when the master can't move. 3 - always (default)
	* Also modified slaves_inherit_mode: 0 don't change mode. 1 slaves are
	  always aggressive. 2 slaves are always passive. 3 they copy the
	  agro/passive mode from their master. Defaults to 2.
2006/11/20
	* Added monster_ai&0x200 (monster.conf). When set, mob skill delays are
	  shared. That is, if the mob has several lines with the same skill, when the
	  skill is used, the delay will be set to all of them, not just the one entry
	  used. [Skotlex]
2006/11/07
	* Added nosave mapflag for Guild Dungeons [KarLaeda]
	* New Setting "stdout_with_ansisequence"
	  (login_athena/char_athena/map_athena) allows you to specify whether color
	  control chars should be printed or not. Is useful to disable for a
	  "cleaner" output when you are logging the console output. All credit goes
	  to FlavioJS for coding the whole thing. [Skotlex]
2006/11/05
	* Added maplags for PowerNPC quest. [KarLaeda]
2006/10/31
	* Modified the player_cloak_check_type and monster_cloak_check_type
	  settings. 1 makes it check for walls, 2 makes cloaking NOT end on normal
	  attacks, and 4 makes cloaking NOT end when using skills. The default
	  setting for players is still 1, but for mobs the default has been changed
	  to 4 (skill.conf). [Skotlex]
2006/10/25
	* Added exp-bonus settings exp_bonus_attacker and exp_bonus_max_attacker
	  (exp.conf, default to 25 and 12) [Skotlex]
	* Changed the way the party_even_share_bonus setting works. It now uses a
	  simple linear bonus increase (party.conf) [Skotlex]
2006/10/24
	* Changed the way the skill_steal_max_tries work. Now it actually MEANS the
	  max number of steal tries, use 0 to disable (unlimited tries). [Skotlex]
	* Changed the default of skill_steal_max_tries to 0 as there's no proof
	  anywhere that there should be such a limit. [Skotlex]
2006/10/20
	* Added config setting "summon_flora_setting" (skill.conf), with it you can
	  decide now two things: a. Whether or not players can harm your floras
	  outside versus grounds, and b. Whether or not you can summon out and mix
	  different types of plants at the same time. [Skotlex]
2006/10/19
	* Commented out the monster_noteleport mapflag from the guild castles as
	  this is the Aegis behaviour [Skotlex]
2006/10/18
	* Added monster_noteleport mapflag to the guild castle maps to prevent
	  "avoiding MVPs" by forcing them to teleport from rude-attacks. [Skotlex]
2006/10/16
	* Added &16 to the default of the emergency_call setting (skill.conf)
	  [Skotlex]
2006/10/12
	* Added Homunculus atcommands [Playtester]
2006/10/11
	* Removed useless inter_athena settings (they were doing absolutely
	  nothing): read_gm_interval, gm_db, gm_db_level, gm_db_account_id,
	  use_new_sql_db [Skotlex]
2006/10/06
	* status_cast_cancel is now a type 4 (object bitmasks) setting
	  (status.conf). [Skotlex]
2006/10/06
	* Removed gm_all_skill_add_abra which was doing nothing anyway. [Skotlex]
2006/10/03
	* Renamed setting delay_dependon_dex to delay_dependon_agi, the delay of
	  skills is reduced now (when enabled) by AGI instead of DEX, which makes a
	  lot more sense than DEX. [Skotlex]
2006/09/25
	* Removed config setting allow_atcommand_when_mute as it's no longer used
	  (see manner_system in misc.conf for it's replacement) [Skotlex]
2006/09/19
	* Removed setting ban_spoof_namer (as now invalid chat packets just cause
	  the sending character to be disconnected). [Skotlex]
2006/09/18
	* The new socket update code includes support for two new config settings
	  (packet_athena.txt): frame_size, which can be used to alter the logic
	  packet-size allowed by the code, and mode_neg, which when set to yes, sets
	  TCP_NODELAY on all connections (defaults to yes). [Skotlex]
	* Due to a recent update of how cards/equipment status change defense
	  works, the max sc resistance settings (battle/status.conf) no longer apply
	  to them. [Skotlex]
2006/09/16
	* Added monster_ai&256. When set, a monster will pick a random starting
	  position to begin checking versus it's skills, otherwise, it will always
	  begin checking from the beginning. [Skotlex]
2006/09/15
	* Added atcommand.conf entries for @adjgmlvl and @adjcmdlvl [Skotlex]
2006/09/14
	* Adjusted gvg long damage rate to 80%, magic damage rate to 60%
	  (battle/guild.conf) [Skotlex]
2006/09/12
	* Changed back the default of case-sensitive to ON since it shouldn't be
	  such a bad performance hog now. [Skotlex]
	* case_sensitive is now off by default due to performance issues
	  (login_athena.conf). [Skotlex]
2006/09/11
	* Corrected name of config settings pc_luk_status_def, mob_luk_status_def
	  (status.conf) [Skotlex]
	* Changed the default of enable_baseatk to 9 (player + homun) [Skotlex]
	* Changed the default of enable_perfect_flee to 1 (players only) [Skotlex]
2006/09/09
	* Removed noteleport flags from Geffenia maps [Playtester]
2006/09/08
	* Removed sg_miracle_skill_duration, replaced it with
	  sg_miracle_skill_min_duration and sg_miracle_skill_max_duration, to specify
	  a range for the duration of the skill. [Skotlex]
	* Skill duration for sg miracle is now 1h ~ 2.5h [Skotlex]
2006/09/07
	* Changed the default of sg_angel_skill_ratio to 10 based on recent
	  information from Tharis. [Skotlex]
	* Added sg_angel_skill_ratio to specify rate at which the Angel skill
	  triggers. [Skotlex]
	* Increased duration of Miracle of the Sun/Moon/Stars to one hour.
	  [Skotlex]
	* Changed gvg_short_attack_damage_rate to 80, as leaked X.2 [Vicious]
2006/09/06
	* Reverted back the default view/chase range of mobs to 100% since eA now
	  uses square view areas, like Aegis. [Skotlex]
2006/09/05
	* Removed setting mob_show_hp, it's been replaced now by mob_show_info,
	  which can be used to specify what kind of info should be displayed from a
	  mob. Current options are two different formats for Hp display, and current
	  level (monster.conf). [Skotlex]
2006/08/31
	* Added setting attack_walk_delay which specifies whether a character
	  should (or not) be able to move inmediately after starting a normal attack
	  (battle.conf). Defaults to 0 since that's what Aegis uses. [Skotlex]
	* Corrected battle config name max_walk_rate, it should be named
	  max_walk_speed. [Skotlex]
2006/08/29
	* monster_ai&1 now only signals whether mobs should update their target
	  cell while chasing more frequently (rather than being state-driven like
	  Aegis) [Skotlex]
	* Changed the defaults of view_range_rate and chase_range_rate to 120 to
	  aproximate better Aegis's view ranges (which are square areas and not
	  circles), so eA's default of 100 leads to a circular area contained
	  within a 21x21 square zone (what Aegis uses), by using 20%, the circular
	  area increases range to 12, which better approximates Aegis's 21x21 area.
	  [Skotlex]
2006/08/24
	* Changed the default of clear_skills_on_death to 0 [Skotlex]
	* Added setting clear_skills_on_warp to specify when a character's
	  land-based skills are deleted when the caster changes maps. Defaults to all
	  types (skill.conf). [Skotlex]
	* The previous setting now obsoletes traps_setting &2, which now can only
	  be 0/1. [Skotlex]
2006/08/21
	* Removed config setting "muting_players", and expanded the manner_system
	  config to specify how having negative manner (mute) affects a player (see
	  battle/misc.conf). [Skotlex]
	* Expanded the pk_mode setting from no/yes to 0/1/2. 1 is normal pk_mode,
	  if 2 is used, it makes killing players give you a loss of 5 manner points.
	  [Skotlex]
2006/08/18
	* Added monster_ai&128 to make aggressive mobs ignore that behaviour of
	  always picking Homun targets above player targets regardless of who is
	  closer. [Skotlex]
	* Added guild_aura (skill.conf) setting so you can specify when it works
	  and if it works on the guild-master itself. Defaults to working all the
	  time on everyone except GM. [Skotlex]
2006/08/14
	* Removed support for negative autosave intervals, instead added a
	  minsave_interval setting which specifies which is the minimum time between
	  character saves. Default to 100ms (map_athena.conf). [Skotlex]
	* Modified emergency_call setting to allow for more specific configuration
	  (woe/non-woe, gvg-grounds/non-gvg-grounds, disable from nowarpto maps), see
	  skill.conf for details. [Skotlex]
2006/08/10
	* Removed setting mob_ghostring_fix [Skotlex]
	* Changed setting attack_attr_none to affect all neutral-element attacks.
	  Basicly, this setting is now used to determine who can hit for full damage
	  always when using neutral-attacks (defaults to non-players) [Skotlex]
2006/08/09
	* Change the default of attack_attr_none to all classes except players.
	  This means that pet/mobs/homun will always do normal attacks with
	  no-element modifiers (but elemental reduction cards still apply) [Skotlex]
2006/08/08
	* Removed config settings display_delay_skill_fail and
	  display_snatcher_skill_fail, replaced them with display_skill_fail, which
	  can be used to determine whether you hide ALL skill-failed messages, those
	  from delay, those from Snatcher or those from Envenom (battle/skill.conf)
	  [Skotlex]
2006/08/07
	* Added config force_random_spawn which overrides the spawn-files defined
	  coordinates to make all mobs always spawn randomly on the map. [Skotlex]
	* SC_SPEEDUP0 is no longer dispellable by SA_DISPEL [Skotlex]
2006/08/04
	* Removed settings enemy_critical_rate, homun_critical_rate. Added settings
	  enable_critical (defaults to specify only players), mob_critical_rate and
	  critical_rate. The last applies to all non-mobs and non-players
	  (battle/battle.conf) [Skotlex]
	* Removed settings mob_npc_warp, mob_warpportal. Replaced with setting
	  mob_warp which specifies which types of warp can a mob step into
	  (battle/monster.conf) [Skotlex]
	* Changed name of the setting log_pick to log_filter since that's what it
	  does now. [Skotlex]
	* Modified enable_logs so that instead of a 0/1 setting, you can specify
	  which kind of events to log (so you can use a combination), see log_athena
	  for the bitmask configuration. [Skotlex]
	* Cleaned a bit the contents of log_athena.conf
2006/08/02
	* Updated status_cast_cancel to also include silence (so the cast bar is
	  cancelled if you are silenced during it) [Skotlex]
2006/08/01
	* merged in atcommands jailfor, jailtime, charjailtime. Thanks to Meruru
	  and Coltaro for the code. [Skotlex]
	* Expanded setting debuff_on_logout so that &1 removes negative buffs and
	  &2 removes positive buffs. [Skotlex]
	* Added battle config file status.conf, moved some settings from skill.conf
	  and battle.conf to it since they are entirely Status-Change related.
	  [Skotlex]
2006/07/27
	* Added config setting party_update_interval so you can specify how often
	  the party-mate minidots should be updated (defaults to 1 sec). [Skotlex]
	* Removed a bunch of broken comments in skill.c [Skotlex]
