game server changelog

[Wojtek]

in this week i focused on fixing bugs that were discovered:

• bug that caused ghost users to stay in rooms (only workaround for now)
• bug that cause server to hang (but seems it's not fixed fully), server performance may also improve thanks to this fix
• bug that allowed to access password protected room without password with quick play (reported by Caithness)
• bug that allowed to level up in training by beating opponent below your current level (reported by Chinese Tetris Community)
• bug that allowed to grind tp and exp by playing training after beating level 24
• limit number of entries in single player rankings

[Wojtek]

oops, i figured out remaining problem in networking code that can hang server. there will be another update later today.

edit: OK, server just updated server.

I changed networking code, it should perform lot better especially with big number of players online. Also with laggy connection you should not expierience disconnects anymore (some players from China had this problem). Also when you close your client and start again immediately, you should not see "ID is in use massage" anymore.
