taserver release v2.1.0

This release makes it easier to set up a GOTY game server.

Here is the complete list of changes in this release:

• moved default serverconfig.lua to data/gamesettings/ootb/
• added download_gotylike.py for downloading GOTY settings to data/gamesettings/gotylike/
• moved description, motd, password, game_setting_mode from gameserverlauncher.ini
  to controller serverconfig.lua
• added instructions to README.md for setting up a GOTY server
• GOTY loadout defaults have changed to the EU set provided by Darksteve
• implemented friend/follower status notifications

Bugs fixed:

• corrected message given when joining a GOTY server without TAMods

Compatibility notes:

• this release is not backwards compatible; both login server and
  game servers must be upgraded to v2.1.0 simultaneously
• modifications to game server settings (description, motd, password)
  have to be manually applied to serverconfig.lua
• if you are using a previously downloaded gotylike serverconfig.lua,
  add the appropriate lines for game server settings (description, motd,
  password). You can look at data/gamesettings/ootb/serverconfig.lua
  as an example.
• game servers must have TAMods-Server version 0.5.0 or higher
  (just run download_compatible_controller.py after upgrading
  the game server to v2.1.0)

taserver release v2.0.0

This version is the first one to support running both GOTY and OOTB games on the same login server.

Here is the complete list of changes in this release:

• one login server now supports both OOTB and GOTY game servers.
  The mode of a game server is set through the game_setting_mode setting in gameserverlauncher.ini.
• passworded servers are now supported through a setting in gameserverlauncher.ini
• user names are now case insensitive and guaranteed to contain only printable ASCII
  (excluding space and DEL)
• a new "authbot" is provided for automating the user registration procedure.
  It logs on to the HiRez server and provides authcodes to people through private chat

Bug fixes:

• player IDs in the account database no longer change when they use an authcode
• parse.py can now parse failed authentications as well
• improved error logging for configuration errors in the game server launcher

Compatibility notes:

• Game servers have to be updated to this release in order to work with this login server version
• Game servers must have a TAMods-Server version of at least 0.4.0.
  Simply run download_compatible_controller.py after updating to this release to get it.
• For playing in GOTY mode, clients will need an up-to-date TAMods version.
  OOTB does not require TAMods on the client side.

taserver release v1.0.1

This is a bug fix release. Read the release notes to see what was changed.

taserver release v1.0.0

This is the first official release of taserver. It allows you to run your own Tribes Ascend servers.

Running GOTY mode is possible with this code, but not yet mixed with OOTB on the same login server.
The main login server at ta.kfk4ever.com (18.197.240.229) will be running in OOTB mode for now.
Feel free to have your OOTB game servers connect to this login server.
