Server
- EsOb stuff: Implemented toString, toXML, and fromXML. Overloaded all the getters, to provide a default value alternative. Added better error messages for attempting to set null values, and throwing an exception when attempting to set an EsObjectArray or NumberArray that has an element that is null.

- Bug fix: Deadlock with room creation/destruction and the GameManager
- Added ability for encrypted protocols
- Added HTTP-based protocol
- Added new default gateway listener on port 9899 for Binary
- Updated the web admin restart page during a restart
- Bug fix: Binary protocol data would get garbled under load
Client
- Added some null checking in the UserManager and Zone class.
- Changed the way you specify a message protocol to be instance-specific. It was a static property keeping you from having multiple instances of ES using different protocols. Usage changed from ElectroServer.PROTOCOL = Protcol.BINARY to esInstance.setProtocol(Protocol.BINARY). Must be set before a connection is made.
- Changed the default trace logging to false. To turn it back on use esInstance.setDebug(true).
- Bug Fix: reset outboundId on connection to 0 once it hits 9999
- Bug fix: Failed login response was still setting a variable to indicate that the user was logged in.
- Bug fix: EsObject.toString() didn't show the closing ] or } if an array or object is emtpy.
- Bug fix: If you set the same property name multiple times in EsObject it was stored multiple times.
- Bug fix: ElectroServer.close() gave a run-time error if the protocol being used was binary.
- Bug fix: If AS3 client fails to connect to a valid binary ip/port combo, a run-time error occurred.
- Bug fix: If ElectroSever.close() was called as a result of an inbound event, a run-time error was caused.
- Bug fix: The Observable class wasn't working with a copy of the listeners array when dispatching an event. Could cause a condition where listener would be skipped.
- Updated internal EsObject data type names to match those found on the server. No changes to the way you use EsObject are needed.
Examples
- New Example: SendAndLoadImageFromServer - Shows how to send an encoded image through the binary socket from the client to the server, and save it. It can then be loaded back.
- New Example: SetModeratorPermissions - shows how to give moderators a special permission set when they log in.
- New Example: DatabaseExample - Shows how to access a database from a plugin and execute SQL.
Web Admin
- Added more explanations to several of the pages.
- Added "change my password" page
- "can manage stat server" replaced by "can manage server" which grants permission to manage the General settings and Gateways tabs.
- Bugfix: Admins without permission to manage extensions, filters, and persistent rooms should now be prevented from doing so, even if they use bookmarks. Managing word lists is now included in filter permissions (so if somebody isn't allowed to manage filters, he can't manage word lists either.) Managing keystore password is considered part of managing users, but anybody can manage permission sets.
