• Game data can now be saved to the disk easily using the following console commands: export, import, exportall, importall. This allows for maintenance and reboots without disrupting active games. Note that this requires allow-eval to be enabled.
• Added internal config option: databaseURL
• Added internal config option: database-cache-size
