"Awareness" refers to an entity's view of the surrounding world with
regards to how the entity could navigate. We use Recast/Detour to build
a navmesh for the entity.
However, since each world can have many NPCs, each one with their own
mind, we don't want to keep a complete navmesh for each single mind.
This will quickly become expensive. Therefore we want to share
awarenesses between multiple entities of the same type. So, for example,
all fishes handled by the same ai client will share one single awareness
of the world.
This to some degree involves some cheating, since AI minds now might get
knowledge of the world they otherwise wouldn't have. We consider this to
not be such a big issue. If this is unacceptable for some worlds these
should then disable awareness sharing and take the resource hit.
The idea is that the aiclient runs in a separate process and handles all
AI functionality.
This is done by having a "possession" client which recieves possession
requests from the server, and spawns new AI clients for each request.

server/Connection.h: Use destroyed signal to ensure references
to in game entities are removed when those entities are
destroyed. Ensure Connection is only destroyed once.

* rulesets/Entity.cpp, rulesets/Entity.h, rulesets/Character.cpp,
rulesets/Character.h, rulesets/Thing.cpp, rulesets/Food.cpp:
Renamed weight member as mass, and use this name in Atlas,
as this is a better convention, and has already been adopted in
stage.
* Switched python code to using mass instead of weight, as it is
a more accurate term.
* common/globals.cpp, common/globals.h, tools/cyloadrules.cpp:
Put admin modifiable config in etc instead of share directory.

and enhance debugging output.
* server/Player.cpp: Correct the use of string.compare() in older
versions of libstdc++.

handled by the core, but considered valid. Added new type
for storing mapping between operation parents and their
enumerated type.

be invalid from operations which are valid, but not explicitly
added to the core.

can be looked up. Install all types handled by the core, and
types known to be used in scripts.
* common/BaseEntity.h, common/BaseEntity.cpp: Add object specific
operation mapping where operation types each object is subscribed
to can be enumerated, and others are rejected. Add mechanism
so that objects can add to the mapping, this subscribing to
operations. This makes enumerating operations much cheaper, and
eliminates the overhead of handling ops an object has no interest
in.

can subscribe to operations.
* rulesets/Character.h, rulesets/Character.cpp:
Add subscription mechanism for ops going to and from

methods, and subscribe to the operations which are handled by
them.
* rulesets/Character.cpp: When calculating orientation of a walking
character, assume it is standing upright.
* physics/Vector3D.h: Add versions of mag() and distance() which
omit the square root calculations, so that when their values
are only used for comparison, the expensive square root
calculations can be ommited. Add new version of collision
and range checking functions which provide the optimal
interface to the application. Add versions of methods which
modify this rather than creating a new operation to eliminate
wasted copies.
* physics/Quaternion.cpp: Make use of faster interface provided
by Vector3D.
* physics/BBox.h: Add new version of collision checking function
which provides optimal interface to the application.

Eliminate implicit copies from vector arithmetic.
* rulesets/Pedestrian.cpp, rulesets/MemMap.cpp, common/const.h:

of the magnitude instead, as it is much cheaper to calculate.
* client/ClientConnection.cpp, client/CommClient.h,
common/globals.cpp, common/globals.h, server/server.cpp,
tools/cycmd.cpp:
Make the TCP port number a global config setting, and
ensure it is used everwhere, so it can be overriden, and all
clients and tools will use it. Modify behavoir so that any
settings overridden on the command line are made semi-permanent
in the users home directory, making it easier for users to run
two versions on one machine at the same time.
* common/Database.cpp, common/Database.h: Remove obsolete iterator
code. Add a method to clear a given database table.
* server/Persistance.h, tools/cyloadrules.cpp:

the rulesets it depends on, ensuring that the rules table
is cleared first.
Added direct support for new format bounding boxes.
* modules/Location.cpp, modules/Location.h, physics/Vector3D.h,
rulesets/Character.cpp, rulesets/Creator.cpp, rulesets/Entity.cpp,
rulesets/Movement.cpp, rulesets/Plant.cpp, rulesets/Py_Location.cpp:
Switched over to using new format bounding boxes, and re-wrote
collision code for this format, making it clearer and more
efficient at the same time.

common/accountbase.h Added database delete method, which closes
the database, and make sure it is used.
* server/server.cpp: Moved the point where the server drops to
a daemon, as doing this after the db was open seems to corrupt
the db.

admin commands into two classes, one which does not alter
the state of the server, the other which does. Added query
command which allows admin client to retrive arbitrary objects
from server id dictionary.
Al Riddoch <alriddoch@zepler.org>
which prevents users from being able to create accounts.

* server/server.*: Added exit flag to ensure that of exit is requested
database is shutdown properlly.
