14.07.08

A major update is coming in, so servers will need to be restarted before joining them as usual. This update consists mostly of exploit fixes, various requested adjustments, and a few new Lua features for developers including extended support for AI navigation meshes, up to 64 DT vars of each type, and toggleable lag compensation for all entities.
