Improvements / Tweaks

* Double recurring damage at end of battle royale match (sudden death) to prevent stalemates
* Reduce arrow crafting cost from `2` wood > `1` wood.
* Better social media buttons

* Torches stick to walls and surfaces
* Torches emit particles
* Healthbar visual improvements
* Reduce daddy zombie damage from `8x` to `5x`
* Ferns drop vines instead of saplings to give them some purpose
* Water and lava sound effects
* Disable https://iogames.forum due to it no longer being used

Fix
* Fix some issues with projectile hits not registering properly
* Latency is calculated more accurately and frequently
* Saplings don't grow in the dark
* Fix friends list causing game crash in some cases - and fix the timezone offsets
* Lighting does not turn on for the html client since it's too laggy (use desktop client for this instead)
* Fish do not jump out of water
* Water can no longer be broken and picked up.
* Remove map `Starship_sniiper-Aincrad` - fixed version coming later
* Water hides sky behind it
* Fix not able to jump on props
* Fix wiki index showing old wiki page
* Show browser close confirmation only when you're playing

Dev
* Add `/savemapscreenshot true` to save map screenshot with baked light levels. `false` saves the exact block colors to be used for map imports.
* Add cheat sheet command to remove any block at your current position
* Add peer dispose Lua hook (`Event:addBeforePeerClosedListener(function(peer)...)`). Is invoked before a peer is about to be disposed after leaving the server. If you return `true` the player will be disposed instead of killed, so the player won't drop items or play a death animation. This is used for saving players instead of killing them when they leave a server.
* Update server quick start wiki docs with up to date SSL instructions.
* Log current build / version number when starting server/client
* Add cheat sheet guide on how to automatically spawn grenades every 5 seconds
* No longer expect intermediate SSL certificate to be present - just use the domain fullchain and private key instead
