Release 1.50

Release Version: 1.50
Release Codename: "Schnappi Kitten"
Release Date: August 1, 2005
Changelog:

• Updated Small to version 3.0. Note: ITB CompuPhase has changed the name of Small to "Pawn". This includes an improved and more powerful compiler. You can now return arrays, simulate "structs", and the optimizer has been improved.
• Large reduce in CPU usage for non-Metamod-p users. AMX Mod X now requires Metamod 1.18 or Metamod-p. Note: this is because we have removed the internal mini-Metamod that was added in 0.20.
• Added new system for automating multi-page menus.
• Added module for ESF (Earth's Special Forces), thanks to Lynx.
• Rewrote installer from scratch, now a much more improved interface that actually works.
• Added an official "AMX Mod X Editor", AMXX-Edit. To be expanded as AMX Mod X Studio in the future.
• Rewrote MySQL module (again) - now can be used by other modules.
• Added new plugin debugging system from Small 3.0. Old plugins need to be recompiled to be debugged.
• Added "register_native", plugins can now create natives that other plugins can use. This was first conceptualized by dJeyL and added on request of T(+)rget.
• Changed the plugin file format to be a tad more flexible. Old plugins will still work.
• Added a module for dealing with binary vaults (nVault).
• Added another The Specialists module (TSFUN).
• Deprecated AMX Mod module support, which was incompatible with Small 3.0.
• Require_module is deprecated. Module detection is now done automatically when you compile plugins.
• Fixed a serious memory leak in set_task (reported by fysh).
• Fixed a serious memory leak in entity_set_model (reported by EKS).
• Fixed deallocation errors in engine and core (reported by theqizmo, OneEyed, and fysh).
• Added module API changes that require a sync of the SDK. This was to make sure modules had the right Small 3.0 headers. Modules compiled with the old SDK will refuse to load.
• Added inter-module communication to complement AMX Mod X's inter-plugin communication.
• Deprecated read_dir, added much faster open_dir natives.
• Fixed a bug where language settings were mishandled (thanks faluco).
