Serverconfig.xml

New Telnet implementation which allows multiple connections at a time and should be more resilient against crashes
Telnet uses UTF8 encoding. If you use PuTTY to connect select “Connection Type: Raw”
Telnet only listening on localhost if no password is set but it does not ask for password in this case in return
Output of console commands is only sent to the issuer of the command, not to all connected Telnet/Web clients
Types of log messages shown on a Telnet / Web connection can be selected for each connection individually with the “loglevel” command
Commands support double-quoted strings now, in order to use a double quote within such a quote use two quotes (e.g. say “Hello “”people”””)
Added new console commands (getgameprefs, gettime, kill, listplayerids, loglevel, version)
Commands rewritten (admin, ban, commandpermission, kick, settime, whitelist; use help <command> to see new/changed features)
Commands buff/debuff working on clients in multiplayer
Console help command extended by detailed help on single commands, some commands got that help texts added now
