API Changes SC 5.11
To fix some crash issues related to invalid pointers, we had to change how entities are stored in the game. This might affect some scripts that access the pointers (handles) we've updated. Please see the list below for what exactly changed in the API. If your script accesses the old pointer types, it won't work anymore and needs to be updated.
We'll gladly help you, should you have trouble with the changes.

Other notable changes:
- It's possible to register and create custom entities in server plugins (this includes custom weapons/items). (issue #46)
