EVEmu 0.6.253 released

All,

I have posted the latest release of evemu, version 0.6.253. By popular demand, I decided to wrap up as much as I possible could of the work I had underway and get the release out. This means that many of the features which I had hoped to include in this release are not finished. That said, there is still a rather substantial amount of changes. My focus for this release was getting activities in space working, since really nobody else can work on these things right now. I have packaged up a database with this release as well, hope it helps.

Fellow developers, I have tried to commit as much of your code as possible. However, it is always possible that I missed something. Please let me know if there are any patches which I forgot. I will post in the threads of patches which I know are not included.

I made one major change in support of you crazy people which try to run public servers. The code now tries to catch as many memory related crashes as possible, and just abort the activity which caused the crash (java style). Hopefully this helps.

Here is the changelog:
