• Added a new modern horizontal compact status bar option
• Added a new modern compact status bar option
• Grid container item locks now expire after 60 days of the item being absent from the container, automatically clearing the saved lock and slot
• Separated Scavenger agent from Autoloot, they now each have their own loot lists and enabled/disabled toggles

• Added a per-server "Don't reopen corpses that have already been opened" option that keeps track of opened corpses and skips auto-reopening them

Legion

• Added a warning about upcoming changes and to update your scripts
• Added a warning when a script fails to stop
• Added a warning when running a script with unbounded while loops
• Added API.IsKeyPressed("CTRL+SHIFT+F1") method to see if a key(s) is currently held down
• Added API.Gumps.CreateGumpRenderedMapArea to build a rendered area of the map in a gump
• Removed hard 30 second limit on API.Pause()
• Added GetSpellsInSpellbook(uint serial), listing all spell names in that spellbook

Misc

• Mouse handling performance improvements
• Added auto pruning to Item Database to prevent unbounded database growth ( 120 days since item last seen, it's deleted )
• Increase max global scale to 300% up from 175%
• Migrated more settings to global scoped json settings

Fixes

• Fixed a NullReferenceException in API.UseSkill() when the player was null (world tearing down) or the skill list was not yet loaded - the call now safely returns without using the skill
• Fixed missing key codes in plugin keyup processing
• Fixed timestamped Global Chat messages sent by the local player not appearing in Global Chat journal tabs - P.R 1035 (Aryx75)
• Fixed a crash (IndexOutOfRangeException in Mobile.Draw) that could occur when rendering a mobile whose queued walk step carried an unmasked direction byte (e.g. the running flag) - the direction is now always normalized to 0-7 before use
• Fixed a client crash at startup when the generated Data/Client files (chair.txt, lights.txt, lightshaders.txt) could not be written or read because another process (antivirus, OneDrive, a second instance, or an editor) held a lock on them - the client now logs a clear error and continues with the built-in defaults instead of crashing
• Fixed locked grid container items no longer reclaiming their locked cell (and appearing unlocked) after being moved out of the container and back
• Addressed a cross-thread issue and hardened controls a bit against future cross threading
• Added a crash fix suggestion for when Windows blocks one of TazUO's files with an application control policy, whether a managed assembly loaded at runtime (for example MP3Sharp.dll) or a native library (for example FNA3D.dll) failing during startup
• Fixed a client crash at login when the persistent-vars database could not be created or opened (e.g. the game's Data directory is not writable) - the client now logs a clear error and keeps running, with script variables simply not persisted until the directory is writable again
• Hardened the SQLite layer to also quarantine and rebuild database files that cannot be opened (SQLite "unable to open database file"), not just files detected as corrupt
• Fixed a client crash when using API.Gumps.CreateGumpRenderedMapArea (map offsets were being dereferenced as pointers), and made it render only the requested region with proper cleanup on close
• Fixed a crash fix for a race condition while opening a container during shutdown
• Fixed a NullReferenceException when opening a grid container while the world was tearing down (player could be nulled mid-construction)
• Myra sliders and checkboxes no longer listen to right clicks (Causing accidental changed when closing via right click over a checkbox/slider)
• Improved treasure map location calculations - P.R 1012 Erumite
• Door movement blocking no longer stops you from walking into closed doors when the "Open doors while pathfinding" (smooth doors) setting is enabled, and the option label is now "Block walking into doors"
• Fixed a client crash at startup when settings.json is missing or corrupt - command-line arguments are now applied after the fallback settings are restored
• Fixed a NullReferenceException when an extended stats packet (0x19) arrived while the world was tearing down (player could be nulled mid-construction)
• Fixed a NullReferenceException in the journal when a journal entry could not be recycled from the journal history (a torn read of the non-thread-safe journal deque) - the client now falls back to a fresh entry, skips null/whitespace message text, and API.HeadMsg ignores empty messages
• Added a crash fix suggestion when a crash happens on a background thread spawned by a third-party plugin/assistant (for example a UO copilot running its own UI) - the crash log now points to the plugin as the likely cause instead of TazUO
