2.9.1 Homebrew Edition

Some minor features and bugfixes since 2.9.0. This is Crystalwarrior's "early access" build, after he got fed up with me never fixing the CI pipeline for releases, so you can blame him for mistakes. (lol)

What's New

• Narrator chat - when the IC emote is completely blank, only text is played back on the chatbox without altering any animations or overlays.
• AUTH packet. Servers can now control programmatically whether the mod controls are shown, instead of having to send the magic string "Logged in as a moderator." See #489.
• Logs now include OOC chat
• Demos now support timers properly
• Dropdowns elide left, allowing long names to be more readable:
  
• Deprecated /min_wait for demos
• All UI elements are now named. While this is not fully documented yet, you can obtain the full list of object names from #534. More info on CSS here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet-syntax.html
• Two new ways of controlling judge buttons: judge buttons can be forced on or off depending on certain conditions. One of them is through the network, but there is also a clientside option in the design.ini of any background that can define a list of positions where the judge button should be automatically enabled (e.g. judges=jud,jud2,jud3,judX).
• You can now specify in the options menu the default scaling method for assets that do not otherwise specify a scaling method - so you can have "fast" (pixely) or "smooth" chosen as default. You should select "smooth" if you are using HD-resolution assets.
