For server administrators: instructions about how to upgrade existing servers are available here.

This PR removes the modelId column from creature table to allow us to move to a dual entry spawn system.

If this causes an issue for in game or custom spawns the following line of SAI can update the modelId.

(#entryorguid,0,0,0,11,0,100,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,0,#modelId,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,“Creature Name - On Spawn - Change Model to #modelId”),

Special thanks to @Shin @Kitzunu @M'Dic for assistance.

• Added OnPlayerPVPFlagChange hook, it will be executed after the pvp flag from a player gets changed.

• Added OnBeforeFinalizePlayerWorldSession that can be used to modify the cache version that is sent to the client via modules.

Upgrade your Boost version to 1.74 or higher.

Changelog for commit “feature(Core/Spells): Allow to learn all spells for characters on creation”

• All abilities for classes up to TBC into playercreateinfo_spell_custom
• Config option PlayerStart.AllSpells - If enabled, players will start with all their class spells (not talents). You must populate playercreateinfo_spell_custom table with the spells you want, or this will not work! The table has data for all classes / races up to TBC expansion.

• Config option PlayerStart.CustomSpells

• Update the worldserver.conf file with the new PlayerStart.AllSpells if you want to change it to “ON”. Otherwise it will go with the default option “OFF” from the worldserver.conf.dist file.

Changelog for commit “fix(Core/Player): Use SkillLineAbility.dbc to determine player initial spells - skill assignment done in a new table ''%%playercreateinfo_skills%%''”

• playercreateinfo_skills - New Database table for skill assignment.

• playercreateinfo_spells

• Use SkillLineAbility.dbc to determine player initial spells.
• Renamed SkillLineAbilityEntry fields

• for example skillLine→forward_spellid will become skillLine→SupercededBySpell

• Old gossips api #5414

• player->ADD_GOSSIP_ITEM(whatever) → AddGossipItemFor(player, whatever)
• player->ADD_GOSSIP_ITEM_DB(whatever) → AddGossipItemFor(player, whatever)
• player->ADD_GOSSIP_ITEM_EXTENDED(whatever) → AddGossipItemFor(player, whatever)
• player->CLOSE_GOSSIP_MENU() → CloseGossipMenuFor(player)
• player->SEND_GOSSIP_MENU(textid, creature->GetGUID()) → SendGossipMenuFor(player, textid, creature->GetGUID())

You also need #include "ScriptedGossip.h" in your cpp files

• New options for loading scripts static dynamic minimal-static minimal-dynamic #5346

static - Build statically. Default option. for all scripts (As it was before)
dynamic - Build dynamically. After start support Dynamic Linking Library (DLL) can make separated library for each script. Now don't support
minimal-static - builds commands and spells statically
minimal-dynamic - builds commands and spells dynamically. Now don't support

• Also the default value which is provided by the SCRIPTS variable is overwriteable through the SCRIPTS_COMMANDS, SCRIPTS_SPELLS... variable.
• Each subdirectory contains it's own translation unit now which is responsible for loading it's directory
• If module using deprecated script loader api, you get error message.

> Module (mod-ah-bot) using deprecated loader api

• For most modules, the `CMakeLists.txt' file is no longer needed
• Need change script loader file.

1. Rename extension in file to `.cpp`
2. Rename general loading function to `Add(module name with replace all whitespace to '_')Scripts()`.
3. Delete macros `AC_ADD_SCRIPT_LOADER` from `CMakeLists.txt`

• Example loader script for modules:

/*

 */
 
// From SC
void AddSC_ServerAutoShutdown();
 
// Add all scripts
void Addmod_server_auto_shutdownScripts()
{
    AddSC_ServerAutoShutdown();
}

• List modules support new script loader api: https://github.com/azerothcore/mod-server-auto-shutdown

• New cmake option WITH_STRICT_DATABASE_TYPE_CHECKS #5611

• Prevent mixing databases with query holders #5611
• Prevent using prepared statements on wrong database #5611
• Prevent committing transactions started on a different database #5611
• Convert async queries to new query callbacks #5611

• PreparedStatement

- PreparedStatement* stmt = LoginDatabase.GetPreparedStatement(LOGIN_UPD_LOGONPROOF);
+ LoginDatabasePreparedStatement* stmt = LoginDatabase.GetPreparedStatement(LOGIN_UPD_LOGONPROOF);

• SQLTransaction

- SQLTransaction trans = CharacterDatabase.BeginTransaction();
+ CharacterDatabaseTransaction trans = CharacterDatabase.BeginTransaction();

• new hook OnBeforeSendJoinMessageArenaQueue and OnBeforeSendExitMessageArenaQueue

• Rename CanExitJoinMessageArenaQueue to OnBeforeSendExitMessageArenaQueue
• Rename CanSendJoinMessageArenaQueue to OnBeforeSendJoinMessageArenaQueue

• Just rename all hooks from CanExitJoinMessageArenaQueue and CanSendMessageArenaQueue, to OnBeforeSendExitMessageArenaQueue
• Just rename all hooks from CanSendJoinMessageArenaQueue and OnBeforeSendJoinMessageArenaQueue

Changelog for commit “refactor(Collision): Update some methods to UpperCamelCase”

- getPosition
- getBounds
- getBounds2
- getInstanceMapTree
- getModelInstances
- getPosInfo
- getMeshData
- getGroupModels
- getIntersectionTime
- getObjectHitPos
- getAreaInfo

+ GetBounds
+ GetBounds2
+ GetInstanceMapTree
+ GetModelInstances
+ GetPosInfo
+ GetMeshData

+ GetIntersectionTime
+ GetObjectHitPos
+ GetAreaInfo

If you are using any of those methods, simply rename it by changing the first letter of the method from lowercase to uppercase.

Example: getAreaInfo → GetAreaInfo
