4dir is like facedir, but only for 4 horizontal directions: NESW. It is identical in behavior to facedir otherwise. The reason why game makers would want to use this over facedir is 1) simplicity and 2) you get 6 free bits.
It can be used for things like chests and furnaces and you don't need or want them to "flip them on the side" (like you could with facedir).
color4dir is like colorfacedir, but you get 64 colors instead of only 8.
This feature is enabled by default for non-Android release builds. Package
maintainers may use -DENABLE_UPDATE_CHECKER=0 to disable it.

Dropped ServerSoundParams -> moved to ServerPlayingSound. This gets rid of the duplicated
'fade' and 'pitch' values on server-side where only one was used anyway.
SimpleSoundSpec is the basic sound without positional information, hence 'loop' is included.
Recursively added PROTOCOL_VERSION to most functions to reduce the versioning mess in the
future. Per-type version numbers are kept for now as a safety rope in a special case.
Sometimes you need to be able to do removal-related cleanup, such as removing files from disk, or entries from a database. staticdata obviously isn't suitable for large data. The data shouldn't be removed if the entity is unloaded, only if it is removed.
New users find Minetest's account system confusing.
This change moves username/password to a new dialog,
with login and register buttons added to the Join Game tab.
The old registration confirmation dialog is removed in
favour of the new dialog.
Fixes #8138
On my system this is a reduction from 4664 to 3704 bytes.
This is not for the sake of saving RAM but ensuring
commonly used structures fit into caches better.
Change 1: Clarify when on_step collision information is provided
Change 2: Document PostgreSQL and Redis settings
Change 3: Overall AreaStore documentation improvements including consistent parameter naming based on community suggestions
fixes:
* Switching between games does not immediately hide creative mode / damage buttons if so specified
* World creation menu has a game selection list even though the menu already provides a gamebar
* Showing gameid in world list is unnecessary
* Choice of mapgen parameters in menu persists between games (and was half-broken)
It's likely that these could be used trick mods into revealing the insecure
environment even if they do everything right (which is already hard enough).
This ensures that no overflows (side-effects) happen within the find_nodes_in_area function by limiting coordinates like done in the map generation code.
This commit deprecates the forward, backward, left, and right binary
inputs currently used for player movement in the PlayerControl struct.
In their place, it adds the movement_speed and movement_direction
values, which represents the player movement is a polar coordinate
system.
movement_speed is a scalar from 0.0 to 1.0. movement_direction is
an angle from 0 to +-Pi:
FWD
0
_
LFT / \ RGT
-Pi/2 | | +Pi/2
\_/
+-Pi
BCK
Boolean movement bits will still be set for server telegrams and
Lua script invocations to provide full backward compatibility.
When generating these values from an analog input, a direction is
considered active when it is 22.5 degrees away from either
orthogonal axis.

Some games provide users with enough freedom to create items
with metadata longer than 64KB, preventing this from causing
issues is on them but we'll still do the minimum not to abort
the server if this happens.
* Add a simple PNG image encoder with Lua API
Add ColorSpec to RGBA converter
Make a safety wrapper for the encoder
Create devtest examples

Add API for mods to hook liquid transformation events
Without this API, there is no reliable way for mods to be
notified when liquid transform modifies nodes and mods are
forced to poll for changes. This allows mods to detect
changes to flowing liquid nodes and liquid renewal using
event-driven logic.
