 EQEMu Changelog (Started on Sept 24, 2003 15:50)
 -------------------------------------------------------
+== 12/15/2018 ==
+Kinglykrab: Added multiple new instance related quest functions.
+	1. quest::GetInstanceIDByCharID(const char *zone, int16 version, uint32 char_id)
+		- Allows you to pull the instance ID of a client by character ID.
+	2. quest::AssignToInstanceByCharID(uint16 instance_id, uint32 char_id)
+		- Allows you to assign an instance to a client by character ID.
+	3. quest::RemoveFromInstanceByCharID(uint16 instance_id, uint32 char_id)
+		- Allows you to remove a client from an instance by character ID.
+
+	Added spell buckets, similar to spell globals.
+		- Uses a new spell_buckets table and the Spells:EnableSpellBuckets rule.
+	
+	Added max level by data bucket.
+		- Uses data bucket char_id-CharMaxLevel and Character:PerCharacterBucketMaxLevel rule.
+
 == 10/09/2018 ==
 Uleat: Added bot owner options
 	- usage: ^owneroption [option] (or aliased as: ^oo [option])
