Reading approximated unitPrice value from WZ in such a fashion that the new double value can be represented in float point without losing too much data.

Solved many concurrecy issues related with items on the field and playershop/hiredmerchant.

More than one of the same equipment can now be dropped by mobs. Feature uses the minimum/maximum quantity fields from the drop data to determine how many of the same will be dropped each instance.
Improved the Horntail spawn sequence to better fit the end of the animation with the HT parts assembly. Thanks to Arnah and Zenns.
Improved the usage of visual space by the "hint banners" throughout the source.
Fixed a critical bug that would sometimes default the written mount data on the DB, causing data loss.
Removed all invalid itemids from the drop data.

New tool: MapleInvalidItemIdFetcher. It reads all existing itemids from the wz and reports inexistent itemids on the DB's drop data.
Added a script for visually improving credit view.

Readjusted player ids now starting from 1 again, and moved field oids to start counting from 1bil.
Engineered the ThreadTracker: server-embedded deadlock auditing tool, which will print error messages in case of found deadlocks (also showing all in-use locks on the time of the issue).
Changed the player's id on DB now starting from 20mil, thus preventing players from overwriting NPC/mobs with same oid in-game. Requires proper testing to see if the issue has been cleared.
Refactored many calls for TimerManager's schedules throughout the source.
Switched all tables using MyISAM to InnoDB: on a multi-threaded environment such as this, table-locking is an instant no-no, and other gains MyISAM would have over InnoDB are minimal.
Altered getConnection() to properly throw an exception (good practice!) in case of no available connection instead of a mere null.

Hired Merchant now properly checks for a space on the inventory before permitting a player to buy an item/bundle. Minor fix with concurrency on MapleStorage.
Fixed an (quite amusing) exploit with map chairs stacking "extra healing" schedules on certain conditions. Fixed mini-dungeon not disposing players properly in some cases.

Player Shops. Fixed an error with the slot checking system. Added Wish
Tickets (circa-2006 GMS event) to be dropped on AmoriaPQ.

statup to take effect for it's duration, or the server can be flagged to
act as usual). Refactored scheduling system for buffs expiration and
cooldowns to use one single thread per player rather than one per
instance.
Implemented AmoriaPQ. Fixed an issue with ItemIdSortHandler where empty
vectors given to the sorting module would cause an exception thrown,
wiping players inventory items. Thanks to Vcoc, revamped shop data for
GMShop (shop id 1337). Mount quest for explorers now uses event script.

one thread runs globally updating stats). Fixed Pet Ignore now saving to

regarding Player Shops not giving back items properly when owner exits.

owner entering Cash Shop.

sync MapleGuildCharacter objects that were supposed to be the same when
being accessed from both MapleGuild and MapleCharacter classes.

issues regarding "no apparent party leader" after party leader
disconnects and reconnects.
