Added new Makefile that handles compiling UOX3 and Spidermonkey on both Linux and MacOS (punt)
Added VS solution (SpiderMonkey.sln) and VC++ project files for compiling SpiderMonkey on Windows (Xuri)
Updated SpiderMonkey from v1.6.0 to v1.7.0
Added optimization flag -O2 for release build in CMakeLists.txt in project root (Xuri)
Added StringUtility file with general common string manipulation functions (punt)
Updated RandomNum function to use a "seedless" random number generator from C++11 instead of the old C rand() function. (punt)
Overall code cleanup to remove/replace platform-dependent code (punt)
Replaced potentially unsafe usage of C string stuff like sprintf, vsprintf, vsnprintf, strncat, strcpy and strlen throughout the code with calls to a format() function containing only a single, safe use of vsnprintf, ensuring there's a single place of failure if there's anything to fix and and making it easy to potentially replace this with std::format from C++20 when the time comes. (punt)
Replaced usage of char in many places with std::string (punt)
Started process of replacing UString usage with functions provided through StringUtility instead (punt)
Replaced platform specific fileIO handling in Windows/Linux with cross-platform C++17 standard std::filesystem (punt)
Replaced platform specific time handling by using cross-platform chrono library (punt)
Removed UOX namespace to reduce complexity (punt)
Elimitated template code approach to singletons for more modern c++ constructs, removing dependices in the process (punt)
Removed ODBC support; it hasn't been touched since the initial implementation in 2008, and there is a lack of someone to maintain the code. (punt)
Removed some platform specific files like uoxlinux.h, which is no longer required (punt)
Removed legacy crash protection code, and removed support for cluox (punt)
Removed legacy "support" for Borland compiler (punt)
Removed legacy VC++ 6 Workspace/Project files, VS2005 Solution/Project files, as these are no longer supported (Xuri)
Removed legacy BUILD folder with outdated compilation instructions (Xuri)
Removed old Changelog file (merged into Changelog.txt) (Xuri)
Fixed a pointer bug for items in multis on world load (punt)
Fixed a dictionary related issue that caused segmentation faults on Linux/MacOS (punt)
Fixed an issue with callbacks to JS scripts that caused segmentation faults on Linux/MacOS (punt)
Paths in uox.ini should now load properly on all platforms regardless of whether those paths use slashes or backslashes, and whether or not they end in a slash/backslash. (punt)
Moved to c++17 style of threading, and got rid of threadsafeobject.cpp/h (punt)
Replaced parsing of UOX.INI tags with a system that's more easily maintainable (punt)
Added some new commands to js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js (Xuri)
cont // Targeted item will be made a container, set to nondecay and movable 2
endfight // Targeted character (and character being fought) will stop fighting
getmulti // Get multiObject for targeted item
finditem // Find item at layer X
movespeed // Set movement speed of target player (0x0 Normal, 0x1 Mounted, 0x2 Slow (walk only), 0x3 Hybrid ("jog"?), 0x4 Frozen)
Added new HTML based documentation in docs folder, and removed many old legacy docs that are either incorporated into this document already or no longer relevant for the current UOX3 version (Xuri)

Embraced the usage of R32, R64, SI16, UI16, SI32, UI32, SI64 and UI64 typedef aliases as replacement for built-in types throughout the sourcecode:
typedef float R32;
typedef double R64;
typedef signed char SI08;
typedef unsigned char UI08;
typedef signed short int SI16;
typedef unsigned short int UI16;
typedef signed int SI32;
typedef unsigned int UI32;
typedef signed long long SI64;
typedef unsigned long long UI64;
As part of this process, UI32 was redefined from unsigned long int to unsigned int, and SI32 from signed long int to signed int to ensure the size of variables using these remain the same (32bit) across both Windows, Linux and MacOS for both 32bit and 64bit platforms
Replaced instances of toLong() with toInt(), and toULong() to toUInt()
Replaced instances of "long" and "int" with SI32 where possible
Replaced instances of "unsigned long" and "unsigned int" with UI32 where possible
Replaced instances of "float" with R32 where possible
Misc code and documentation cleanup:
Updated and standardized function comment blocks throughout entire codebase
Grouped getters and setters together in pairs and documented them as one
Removed empty and/or non-useful information from comment blocks
Removed unused function from cItem.cpp/h - IncID() - formerly used to change IDs for doors
Added new feature - Instances
Objects (characters, items, multis, spawnregions) can now make use of a 5th parameter to determine their location in the game world. In addition to the traditional X, Y, Z and WORLDNUMBER parameters, a new one has been added - INSTANCEID - that allows objects to exist at the same coordinates in the same world, but in different "dimensions". Code has been updated in multiple places to support this, and a default instanceID of 0 is assumed if nothing else is specified.
Added support for new DFN tag in town regions, spawn regions and locations - INSTANCEID (defaults to 0 if not present)
Added support for another start location parameter after worldNum in UOX.INI representing instanceID (defaults to 0 if not present)
Updated TWEAK menu to include WorldNumber and instanceID
Fixed BaseWeight option in TWEAK menu
Updated CBase_Teleport - now takes an optional 5th parameter instanceID
Updated SE_SpawnNPC now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_FindMulti now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_GetItem now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_FindItem now takes an optional 6th parameter - instanceID
Added new JS property for Items, Characters, Regions: .instanceID
Added JS property for Regions: .members - returns comma-separated list of town member serials
Updated JS scripts making use of the above-mentioned JS Methods/Functions
Updated dictionaries with new tweak menu entry texts
Exposed SpawnRegions to JS engine, and updated JS docs with details:
SpawnRegion JS Functions
IterateOverSpawnRegions()
GetSpawnRegion( spawnRegNum )
GetSpawnRegionCount()
