Updated game/ for the ev API. There will likely be some changes happening in the game/folder, in the way new objects are inherited. This should use the API rather than inherit from the basecommand/baseobject modules (these will probably into the example folders as vanilla templates instead).

Adding a new API system to Evennia. This centralizes all access of the evennia driver through a single module "ev". Importing ev one should be able to access (and also importantly, easily explore) Evennia's API much easier. This API goes a long way to "flatten" the structure so that one doesn't need to remember how to find some method in a deeply nested subdirectory.
...
As part of this work, I have also written full listings of all available properties on Typeclassed objects (including those inherited in various ways). Should hopefully make things easier to find.
One can of course still import things directly from src/ as before. But this is a first step towards removing the "base" objects in game/gamesrc and instead making those accessible through the core API.

Moved all command definitions of Typeclassed entities up one level, to Object, Player and Script respectively. The actual code is still on the models (ObjectDB, PlayerDB and ScriptDB), but one should not be able to use the methods without having to dig into the code as far. Also added extensive, up-to-date headers to the inheriting base objects in game/gamesrc.

Contrib: Added a new, alternative login system, using menus. Also edited the ways unlogged commands are started by the engine, by using a standardized system command name (it does not need to be "look" anymore).

Gave better error messages when a player typeclass has bugs and thus won't load. Also made a better solution for hiding new characters from the start room when first being created (also makes sure that character.location never starts as being None, recovering back to home in that case).

Put up a warning about not using BaseObject.at_init() at this time (it's not called, as per issue 188). Also removed the deprecated at_cache() hook (it doesn't work anymore now that the caching system is much more efficient and only caches once).

Trunk: Merged griatch-branch. This implements a new reload mechanism - splitting Evennia into two processes: Server and Portal with different tasks. Also cleans and fixes several bugs in script systems as well as introduces i18n (courtesy of raydeejay).

Multiple fixes and cleanups - command parser excludes inaccessible commands already at parse level now. Fixed the functionality of a few of the lock functions to be more intuitive. Added functionality to the examine command to better show the commands available to an object.

Migrate. Made Exits work differently, by use of commands directly instead of an exithandler assigning commands on-the-fly. This solution is a lot cleaner and also solves an issue where @reload would kill typeclasses in situations where an exit was painting to an object whose typeclass was reloaded (same issue occured if the exit typeclass itself was reloaded). As part of these fixes I cleaned up the merging of cmdsets to now merge in strict priority order, as one would expect them to do. Many small bug-fixes and cleanups all over. Resolves issue 164. Resolves issue 163.

Run Migrate. Implemented a full separation between Player and Character - Players (OOC entities) can now also hold cmdsets and execute commands. This means that "disconnecting" from a Character becomes possible, putting the Player in an "OOC" state outside the game. This overall makes the game much more stable since there used to be issues if the character was destroyed. Having an OOC set also avoids the previous problem of @puppeting into an object that didn't have any cmdset of its own - you couldn't get back out! A new default OOC-Cmdset handles commands available to a player while OOC. Commands in this set are applied with a low priority, allowing "IC" mode to give precedence if desired.
...
This change meant several changes to the lock and permission functionality, since it becomes important if permissions are assigned on the Player or on their Character (lock functions pperm() and pid() etc check on Player rather than Character). This has the boon of allowing Admins to switch and play/test the game as a "Low access" character as they like.
Plenty of bug fixes and adjustments. Migrations should make sure to move over all data properly.

Fixed some bugs in the access system. Changed the "owner" default permission to "control" instead to more general. Added a new hook for setting locks for objects (the suspicion was that this would give lots of grief to newbies otherwise, now we have a lockdown policy in the absence of lock definitions).

OBS: You'll need to resync/rebuild your database!
...
- This implements an updated, clearer and more robust access system. The policy is now to lock that which is not explicitly left open.
- Permission strings -> Lock strings. Separating permissions and locks makes more sense security-wise
- No more permissiongroup table; permissions instead use a simple tuple PERMISSIONS_HIERARCHY to define an access hierarchy
- Cleaner lock-definition syntax, all based on function calls.
- New objects/players/channels get a default security policy during creation (set through typeclass)
As part of rebuilding and testing the new lock/permission system I got into testing and debugging several other systems, fixing some
outstanding issues:
- @reload now fully updates the database asynchronously. No need to reboot server when changing cmdsets
- Dozens of new test suites added for about 30 commands so far
- Help for channels made more clever and informative.

Made characters disappear from the room when their controlling player logs off. This is a trivial thing to customize, but the old default (leave the character objects in the room, although "headless") confused people.
