- Fixed a bug causing a large gap to appear at the top of the chat box when the message memory limit was exceeded.
- The chatbox, MotD window and the votemenu now act smarter around each other (backend changes to the GUI code, added a proper window manager).
- Fixed the chatbox being hidden behind commander UI elements.
- Added "sh_cheats" command for toggling the server cheats value.
- Added option to the AFK kick plugin to ignore spectators.
- Added plugin network message framework to make using network messages with plugins far easier.

- Added the "DisableLuaRun" option to the base commands plugin to disable the "sh_luarun" command.
- Added the ability to assign badges per-user, by adding a "Badge" value to their user entry.
- The skill ranking team balance mode will display the average skill rank of both teams after sorting.
- Added the ability to define min and max player counts for maps, so you can prevent a cycle to a map if the server population is not within your defined range.

- Fixed a bug in the skill rank based and NS2Stats ELO based sorting which would add certain players to the sorting list twice, causing team imbalances and commanders to be switched when they're set to be ignored.
- Fixed a bug in the "AlwaysEnabled" option for randomising teams that would cause it to run repeatedly.
- Added a config file to the logging plugin, with options for what to log. By default it logs everything it can, as it has done in the past.
- The map vote plugin will auto-disable voting if only one map is present in the map cycle/voting list.
- Fixed using Windows based paths for client plugin config files.

- Fixed config paths using \ instead of /, which does not work on Linux.

- Small fix to allow the skill rank based random to be enabled.

- Reserved slots completely rewritten. Now denies on connection, meaning players do not have to load all the way in to find out a slot is reserved.
- Added skill ranking based randomising, uses the game's built in skill ranking to balance the teams.

- Prevented the ClientConnect event from firing multiple times for one player.

- Stopped the logging plugin from logging cyst creation, it contributed to a significant amount of the total log size.
- Made the server switcher more reliable.
- Fixed a few bugs in the reserved slots plugin.
- Fixed a script error in the vote surrender plugin when the game passes a player on the spectator or ready room team through the concede vote.

- Reverted user data loading and saving changes to hopefully fix instability.
- Fixed the badges plugin not reloading badge data when user data reloads.
- Potentially fixed an issue with reserved slots redirect redirecting the wrong person.

- Updated the badges plugin to work with the latest version of the mod.
