# Perl
- Add `quest::silent_saylink(text)`.
- Add `quest::silent_saylink(text, link_name)`.
# Lua
- Add `eq.silent_say_link(text)`.
- Add `eq.silent_say_link(text, link_name)`.
# Notes
- Allows operators to more easily use silent saylinks without an optional silent parameter in the traditional saylink methods.
- Sets `silent` parameter default to `false` so we do not need to pass `false` when we are not using a a silent saylink.
- Changes all places that used `EQ::SayLinkEngine::GenerateQuestSaylink` to `Saylink::Create` where possible.
- Removed `questmgr` method that is no longer necessary.
- Cleaned up Lua methods to use the strings directly instead of building one out.
# Notes
- Add `eq.cast_spell(spell_id)` and `eq.self_cast(spell_id)` to Lua.
- Lua did not have a `quest::castspell(spell_id)` or `quest::selfcast(spell_id)` equivalent, so this adds them.
* [Feature] Add optional `is_force` parameter to Zone::Repop
# Perl
- Add `quest::repopzone(is_force)`.
# Lua
- Add `eq.repop_zone(is_force)`.
# Commands
- Cleanup `#repop` to use new parameter in `Zone::Repop`.
# Notes
- Allows operators to forcefully repop a zone without using a second method to clear the respawn timers.

* [Factions] Remove from shared memory and simplify
- Removes factions from shared memory and moves to zone based storage of repositories and changes the NPC `faction_list` to also use repositories.

* [Rules] Convert IDLE_WHEN_EMPTY to a rule
# Notes
- Converts `IDLE_WHEN_EMPTY` to `Zone:ZonesIdleWhenEmpty` so that we can change this on the fly or on a zone-by-zone basis instead of having to recompile to do this.
- Especially helpful for those using release binaries that do not compile their own source.
* Convert to zone column.
* Update ruletypes.h

* [Commands] Cleanup #appearance Command
# Notes
- Cleanup messages and logic.
- Cleanup appearance type constants to use a namespace with constexpr instead.
- Cleanup animation constants to use a namespace with constexpr instead.
* Update emu_constants.cpp
* Cleanup
* [Languages] Cleanup languages constants
# Notes
- Cleanup formatting and logic where necessary.
- Cleaned up constants to use a namespace with `constexpr` instead.
- Changed `LoadCharacterLanguages` to use a repository instead.
* Lua GroupMessage uint8/language_id
* Lua More uint8/language_id
* [BUG] Fixed the discrepacy with time using command #time and in quests. https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/issues/3700
* removed comments and paratheses from previous commit.
* fixed typos.
* made some adjustment so #time, /time, scripting, and log all match.
* Update lua_general.cpp
* [Feature] Add Comment to Item Data/Quest API
# Perl
- Add `quest::getitemcomment(item_id)`.
- Add `quest::getitemlore(item_id)`.
- Add `$questitemdata->GetComment()`.
# Lua
- Add `eq.get_item_comment(item_id)`.
- Add `eq.get_item_lore(item_id)`.
- Add `item:Comment()`.
# Notes
- Added the ability for operators to pull these fields from item data without a database hit.
- Fixed a bug in `embparser_api.cpp` where `GetZoneGravity` was connected to the wrong methods.
* Update embparser_api.cpp
* [Feature] Add Bot Starting Items
# Notes
- This table is similar to the player starting items table, however it uses bitmasks.
- Allows operators to give bots gear on creation.
- `races` of `0` for all races.
- `classes` of `0` for all classes.
* Update bot.cpp
* Update database_update_manifest_bots.cpp
* [Bug Fix] Fix Appearance Issues
# Notes
- Changing race, gender, or texture of a Mob could result in it changing sizes due to use not sending the size as part of the appearance packet.
- Also converts the parameterized method to a struct parameter so that we can optionally send things without back-filling multiple arguments.
* Gender cleanup.
* Fix.
* Formatting.
* [Feature] Add Support for item textures higher than 65,535
# Notes
- We were previously using `uint16` which has a max of `65,535`, but some of the new Live textures that are being used have values way beyond this.
- Updates quest API, commands, and database tables that also used `uint16`.
* Update version.h
* [Strings] Add Strings::BeginsWith() and Strings::EndsWith()
# Notes
- These are useful so that we don't have to manually calculate size or perform a substring.
* Update questmgr.cpp
* Update client.cpp
# Perl
- Add `quest::removeldonloss(theme_id)`.
- Add `quest::removeldonwin(theme_id)`.
# Lua
- Fix `eq.remove_ldon_win(theme_id)` as it was using `quest_manager.addldonwin(theme_id)` instead of `quest_manager.removeldonwin(theme_id)`.
