Works pretty well. If it can't GC something, it'll just del() it and be done.
Speed is amazing, holy shit.
New procs you should be aware of:
qdel(atom/movable) - sets up an object for garbage collection. Call this rather than del(atom/movable).
atom/movable/Destroy() - called right before the object is GC'd, so it still has a loc. Also called if the object is del()'d.
new controller - garbage.dm has all the details on this. Basically it nulls all references on GC'd objects and force del() them if necessary.
Generally speaking, objects should use Destroy() for behavior prior to deletion rather than Del(). You should also always call the parent so the object gets the right gc_destroyed var set.
ISSUES:
Tries to GC mobs atm. This actually works for new players, not so much for humans/monkies/simple_animals/anything. I'm guessing it needs to clear out their mind and HUD and maybe other things.
Gibbing is really bugged. It works, but the overlays just sit there for awhile and ugh. I'm very tempted just to del() mob/living and mob/camera and call it a day.
qdel() equipment doesn't unequip the item.
Pipes don't generally GC correctly. Debugging suggests they get referenced in many pipenets and that isn't cleared properly. However some do work fine. Need assistance here.
Bots don't GC, probably in the radio controller.
Lots of other shit doesn't GC but it's hard to find them because of the pipe spam.
I think I'm calling Destroy() twice by accident.
When hud_used is deleted, references to those objects are removed, hence they are garbage collected.
Removed some code from metroids which could possible delete global_hud objects which would cause problems.
Added a verb to code/WorkInProgress/carn/debug_locnull.dm which prints all atoms with loc==null to world.log

Fixed the failsafe misreporting how long the MC has been dead.
Lighting initialization no longer 'interrupts' the master_controller setup().
Added updated powernet debugging tools. They're in my WIP folder. They are sexy c: It draws the powernet onto the map so you can see what's going on during debugging.
Added tachyon-doppler arrays. They're gonna be something for scientists to measure their bombs with rather than praying for the figures. Nothing spectacular.
Commented out switches, they aren't used and I've been fixing/testing powernets all day. Sorry. If you need them back just PM me and I'll fix them.
Known issues: the merging procs behave silly at intersections. I really tried to fix it but I think I'll make more progress just working on some powernet improvements.

Supply_packs ow use paths rather than strings. This is because paths for some of the items have changed with recent updates which was causing the strings to become invalid, but the compiler does not check them. Now that they are paths, the compiler will warn you. Fixes a number of runtimes with supply_packs/shuttle. A number of items that were meant to spawn in supply crates that were affected by this now spawn again. (stuff like grenades, spray bottles, etc)
Added a damp rag to the janitorial closet.
Added ammonia to the hydro crate (removed 2 bottles of pest-spray and increased cost slightly to offset)
Moved explosion2.dm to WIP/carn/Explosion2.dm

Fixed a problem where TG was using this sequential master_controller but I had removed a spawn where master_controller.process() was called because I was working with the default master_controller. This problem was causing the master_controller to prevent the lighting_controller.process() ever running properly because it was hogging the current thread (thread isn't the right word there, not sure what you call it....stack?)
Added debugging to both the lighting_controller and master_controller. http://filesmelt.com/dl/debugging.png
Both lighting_controller and master_controller may be deleted to terminate their processes (this is done via the restart controller verb. This allows for clean restarts without 'doubling up' (where, for instance, the master_controller would be running more than one instance).
lighting_controller has a prototype recovery proc which is called by the "restart controller - lighting" verb. It's basically an overly paranoid version of process() which will only transfer light_sources to the replacement controller if they don't runtime. It's not needed at the moment as the process() has yet to runtime.
master_controller has the beginnings of self pruning lists. This method using list.Cut(index,index+1) is faster than doing list.Remove(thing) all over the place (the latter iterates through the list to find the thing).
Added more detailed time-measurements for the master_controller. It now displays the processing costs (in real-world seconds) of each part of the master_controller's cycle.
The stat panel only updates for mobs actually -looking- at the stat panel.
Explosion debugging is now hidden behind a if(Debug2). To have it print that data to world.log just click the DebugGame verb
debug controller and restart controller verbs are now both GameAdmin rank. Not sure how they got split up.
Fixed another cause of dark splotchy space turfs. (turf/wall/ex_act was replacing the turf with space and then deleting that new space turf)

Changed the path of large beakers, so they're actually a subtype of beaker (wtf)
Moved new_year.dm to unused.
Updated Carn's sequential master controller to not have tension stuff, for potential live testing.

Added some WIP master controller alternatives. Located in code/WorkInProgress/carn They should stop the MC doubling up and smooth the lagspikes over a little bit (depending on how they are set up). They need a bit of work still, but are functional. Just untick code/game/master_controller.dm and tick the version you want to try out.
Committing Giacom's pai remote-signaller code.
Minor map fix for Travis (extra grille NE corner of atmos)
Added a debug tool that prints powernets into a text-based map.
Fixed a runtime that occurred everytime somebody cut a laid cable. It was updating the power networks twice each time >_>
