There are still a number of upgrades and improvements being made to the new town building functions, but there were a few bugs on the live branch that make it worth pushing this patch live even if it's imperfect. If there are any problems, please just let me know and I should be able to tidy them up within 24 hours.

Note that this will wipe town buildings, wells, and ground torches for players that have not been playing on beta but on the live (default) branch as changes had to be made to the way some things are saved and loaded.

I also added in a number of crafting skills for each profession, but have turned them off for this patch and will turn them on tomorrow with the next beta patch.

With a number of new town building types in and working, I can now add recipes for "purchase" to all professions. With the crafting skills I'm working on I can also now add them as unlocks for reaching certain levels in crafting professions, for example. I for one am looking forward to lots of new armor, weapon, and enchant sets.

I want to spend some time further upgrading multiplayer, and then hope to start working primarily on the new villagers systems next.
