Alpha-0.0.2 - The Ownership Update

This update primarily adds a distinction between primary and secondary ownership of world objects. Primary owners have special permissions, such as being unable to have their ownership removed by another owner, and being the one who receives an item whose parent room is broken. Here is a breakdown of the new features and changes in this release:

• Added the transfer exit/room/item commands for transferring primary ownership.
• Added the give command, which lets you give an item in your inventory to another player in the same room.
• Added the set pronouns command for the player to set their pronouns. This was necessary for the posture text from sit and lay to format with correct grammar in all cases.
• Added the return item command which returns an item in your inventory to its primary owner's inventory.
• Added the return inventory and return room commands, which return all items in your inventory or all items in a room that you own respectively to their primary owners.
• Added rotating backups; the server will keep up to a specified number of backups, rotating them each time it is started.
• Automatically add "the" in front of the names of items in certain various circumstances.
• The enable/disable chat commands and the enable/disable autolook commands are now set chat and set autolook.
• The break room command now returns items in the room to their primary owners, instead of losing them.
• The requisition command was renamed to requisition item.
• Improved reporting in the list exits/items/rooms/users commands.
• Fixed a bug that caused list entrances to just list the first entrance repeatedly.
• Fixed a bug that caused break item to not remove the item from the room it was in if used by a wizard who wasn't holding the item.
• Fixed a bug that caused looking at yourself to only work if look self was all lowercase.
• Fixed a bug that caused the unduplify item command to not actually unduplify items.
• Improved error reporting.
• Various other bugfixes and improvements.
