- Equip: Function bar in equip window now disabled if you don't have the skills. Tooltip shows skill requirements for that function.
- Items: Charge bar in equip window is no longer decreased, since charge is not currently in use.
- Temporary extra QDatabase hack.q added:Characters now stop running when they reach their destination, and other animations should play fine.

- Launcher updated: Should provide more output on the updating process.
- Changes to client logging output: Some more client logging output is generated. Most client output is by default piped to a 'client.log' file in the installation directory. It would be practical if you provide this file when reporting crashbugs. You may want to delete 'client.log' from time to time.

- AccountManager updated: Error code 40 should now be eliminated. Instead a new session is generated automatically.
