==== 3.1 ====
* Added a new server administration menu, from which server settings can be changed without needing to use the console. The menu will ask for the RCON password if necessary. Gameplay and compatibility settings are now grayed out unless the user has RCON access and work online properly. Added various Zandronum-specific gameplay settings to the menu. [Dusk]
* "stat nettraffic" now also shows information on the number of many missing packets the client requests from the servers. [Torr Samaho]
* The server can now broadcast the MD5 hashes of loaded PWADs to launchers. [Sean]
* Fixed: ACS function SetSkyScrollSpeed didn't work online. [Edward-san]
* Fixed: color codes in callvote reasons weren't terminated properly. [Dusk]
* Fixed: The 'Color Setter' and the 'Fade Setter' things weren't handled properly on map resets. [Edward-san]
* Fixed: A_JumpIfTargetInsideMeleeRange and A_JumpIfTargetOutsideMeleeRange weren't handled properly online. [Edward-san]
* Fixed: Same spot respawn didn't work anymore with dead spectators. [Edward-san]
* Fixed: A_CheckLOF wasn't handled properly online. [Edward-san]
* Fixed the DROPPED flag not being removed from level-spawned things when not needed. [Edward-san]
* Fixed an ACS related server and client crash. [Torr Samaho]
* sv_forcegldefaults renamed to sv_forcevideodefaults. The old name still exists for compatibility. [Dusk]
* r_3dfloors is now forced to be true when sv_forcevideodefaults is true. [Dusk]

* Generalized the rune system. Any rune can be used as a powerup (including spread, prosperity and reflection, which are now available as powerups), and any powerup can be used as a rune. [Dusk]
* Added a new buffer for the reliable packets scheduled to be sent from the server to the clients. This allows to limit the number of packets the server sends to a client per tick (CVAR sv_maxpacketspertick, default 64). In particular, this allows to spread the full update a client gets when connecting to the server over multiple ticks and should fix problems connecting to large maps with many actors. Also increased the packet loss buffer size from 1024 to 2048. [Torr Samaho]
* Added NamedRequestScriptPuke, named variant of RequestScriptPuke. The two functions can now take 1-5 parameters, thus supporting 4 script arguments. [Dusk]

* Added ACS time and date access functions SystemTime(), GetTimeProperty and Strftime(). The return value of SystemTime() may be overridden by the user with the new CCMD acstime. [Dusk]

* This server now prevents players to use a name already used by another player. If a player requests a duplicate name, the player is renamed to 'Player N' where N is a random number from 0 to 9999. [Torr Samaho]

* Added support to clientside ACS_ExecuteWithResult with four arguments. [Edward-san]
* Added sv_survival_nomapresetondeath Zandronum dmflag to modify survival game mode where the map will not be reset on all players death - the players will be able to continue with fresh amount of lives. Dead players will carry over their inventory in accordance to "keep inventory" flags. [Zalewa]
* Backported ZDoom's ACS function GetActorFloorTexture. [Torr Samaho]
* The SQLite3 database can now be used in WAL mode. This mode is enabled / disabled with the new CCMDs 'db_enable_wal' / 'db_disable_wal'. [Torr Samaho]
* Added new ACS command SetDeadSpectator (int playernumber, int deadspectator). This command can turn alive players into dead spectators (deadspectator == 1) and revive dead spectators  (deadspectator == 0). [Torr Samaho]
* Added the new ACS command SetActivatorToPlayer as a replacement solution for AAPTR_PLAYERx that works with all 64 players instead of only 8. [Dusk]
* Added CVAR sv_forcerespawntime that controls the time delay before force respawn activates and respawns a player. [Ru5tK1ng]
* The authentication mechanism for non-map related lumps now allows Freedoom 0.11.3/Doom clients to join Doom/Freedoom 0.11.3 servers. [Torr Samaho]

* Clients don't error out anymore when encountering a division by zero in a DECORATE expression. Instead, a one time warning is printed on the first occasion and the result is assumed to be zero.

* The memory required for the bot nodes is now dynamically allocated when the first bot is added and freed when the last bot is removed. Thus, the CVAR sv_disallowbots is obsolete and was removed (adapted form Konar6's kpatch). This also fixes that offline, the memory required for the bot nodes was always allocated. [Torr Samaho]
