Version: 0.6.1
A bunch of scary bugs came trick-or-treating, sweets were applied.
Added: GameData now loads up fx infos
Added: FxInfos are properly recorded in indexed string table ( client
requires the string index to produce power effects )
Fixed: binConverter output is less verbose for serialized QByteArray
strings
Fixed: When a new SceneGraph is loaded, PrefabStore entries are properly
mareked as not loaded.
Fixed: SceneNode::name should have had it's name set from non-lowercased
value

The Unsilencer has come

A 0.5.0 release is here.

Latest Changes:

• Completely new SEGSAdmin GUI tool to faciliate simple server setup
• Periodic state saves to database for Character/Player data permanence. Player Spawns now work properly too!
• NPC Spawns! Static NPCs such as police drones and contacts now spawn from client files
• Generator NPCs! Server now properly recognizes NPC generators (spawners) from the client files. This is the first step towards spawning bad guys, cars, and pedestrians
  
• Deep changes to the server architecture enabling NPC spawns, and building a framework for future enhancements

note: By default, server synchoronization of player positions have been disabled
This change removes the rubber-banding effect, but positions of other players may not be updated properly

First public release

WHAT'S NEW

• loads of broxen's code :D, including, but not limited to [ chat, slashcommands, entity orientation, etc]
• minimal LUA support
• more tooling
• AuthExerciser - a testing utility, implementing client authorization
• some preliminary work on client patching.
• many new slash commands
• Improved Player Entity database storage serialization
• Entity state updated to reflect player orientation

Some known bugs
Client does not update database automatically, but can be done manually. See issue #271 #271
Server LoginRequest should /0 terminate strings. See issue #227 #227
Description and BattleCry do not display properly in the ID window (profile page). See Issue #191 #191
Info box does not display all information (description). See issue #192 #192
What still doesn't work (not bugs per say, but unimplemented features)
Animations are not implemented. The server is unaware of animation state, and thus other clients will not see animation changes (I can't see anyone else "run" or "fly")
Entity movement is still wonky, with rubberbanding. Need to implement entity interpolation. See issue #94 #94
Server has no sense of map geometry, so no collision detection, or gravity, etc. This is being worked on by Nemerle, and can be followed at issue #81 #81
GUI, Options and Keybinds are not saved to database. This will happen in my next big pull request (est. March 25th)
Powers are not implemented
Buffs are not yet implemented
Inspirations are not yet implemented
Contacts, NPCs, and mobiles are not yet implemented

Note:
The executables in this release were built in ReleaseWithDebugInformation mode, so are a little bit fluffy

Experimental win32 release

This release os based on highly untested sqlite3 database interface.

Additionally this release has a new ServerMonitor tool, with a simple usage guide available here: http://segs.nemerle.eu/forumz/viewtopic.php?p=8878#p8878
