Tweaks/Fixes:

- Fixed an issue that could cause vehicles to not be reliably destroyed when exited multiple times.
- Fixed an erroneous team kill messaging issue.
- Fixed a shadow bias issue which was causing strange looking lines to appear on a number of textures.
- Fix for unicode issues when downloading the entire global banlist. The BOM was not being added to the beginning of the unicode banlist data, which would break reading it.
- Fix for global banlist download: HttpDownloader can now download files that are chunked (if content-length is not received in the http headers).
- Fix for potential random drop from full dedicated servers.
- Fix for doubling of scores after match reset.
- Fix for stand to prone in water on crossroads after crouching.

- Fixed issue with weapon time played stat.
- Fix for minimap weirdness on team vehicle spawn.
- Improved spectator mode smoothness.
- Fix for being able to go prone in water. Does not prevent a player from going prone and then standing up in water, but I think players would have been able to do this before.
- Fixed 1st person air drones clipping through the ground on BigBox.
Balance:
- MP870 Shotgun
- Decreased full damage range so that weapon is less effective at range.
Dedicated server feature additions:
- Dedicated server tool frontend support for banlist end dates. When banning you may choose between a temporary or permanent ban, and temporary bans allow expiration date selection.
- Added a file chooser text box and imports for image banners to the dedicated server tool.
- Dedicated server tool now prompts for banlist on creation of new profiles.
Fixes:
- It is no longer possible to make a server with private slots reserved for a null clan.
