MC:
No longer tracks a subsystem's cpu usage. This was basically worthless and took up space on the stat panel
Can calculate wait down to a tenth of a decisecond to make it fps/world.ticklag agnostic
Now allows subsystems to have a dynamic wait, that is based on a ratio of how long that subsystem has been taking to process(cost). (This system allows for upper and lower bounds, and an changeable cost delta for each subsystem)
MC can now be told to init a zlevel
All Subsystems:
Stats panel now allows child subsystems to pass it a message to add to its stats entry. All subsystems have been moved over to this system - This should cut down on subsystems having to copy and paste the stats proc in order to add to it
All subsystems now properlly handle being given a zlevel in their init proc
Subsystem changes:
Air:
Added air to the dynamic wait subsystem. upper bound: 50, lower bound: 5, cost delta: 3 times process cost
Air now fires 4 times faster when it can do so without lagging things up
Pipenet has been merged into air
Atmos machinery now processes with process_atmos(), ticked by air, not machinery.
Hotspots (the fire object) are now object pooled
Pipenet:
Deleted, added to air
Machinery:
Moved all atmos calcualtions in all objects's process() to process_atmos().
Lighting:
Added Lighting to the dynamic wait subsystem. upper bound: 20, lower bound: 5, cost delta: 3 times process cost
Ticker:
Fixed ticker not updating the lobby panel when game start delayed
Fixed the game start timer updating rapidly from queued fires when game start delay is removed
Garbage/qdel:
qdel will now limit its process time to 2ds a fire.
qdel can now be given hints as a return to Destroy() as to what should be done with the object.
the options are:
queue: (default) this is the normal behavior.
letmelive: old default to non-null/zero. does nothing with the object
iwillgc: functionally the same as above, mainly to let people working with objects know that the object will not be queued for GC checking
harddel: this will queue the object to be deleted without storing a soft reference, mainly to save locate() processing time.
harddel_now: this will del() the object. To allow for a clean removal of every del() not in qdel
All objects have been updated to the new system, harddel and iwillgc was not added to any new objects.
Fixed some objects not GCing because they didn't properlly clear references in Destory()
Fixed some objects getting qdel'ed preventing other objects from getting GCed because they did not null their reference to that object.
The station has expanded over the years with more and more rooms (and APCs) added that drain the SMES. Moving the emitters to drain the SMES instead of the APCs probably didn't help, either. Engineers don't get nearly as much time as they should these days, with a loose singularity appearing in the first 10 minutes a lot more common, through no fault of the engineers other than they weren't fast enough.
I've seen the SMES drain approximately 8ish minutes since round start. This boosts it up to ~15 minutes.

atom/movable/Destroy() in atoms_movable.dm now calls ..() to fix#8063
Light strength and light radius are no longer a single concept, although right now all lights are max strength for their radius
Updated the comment intro for _DynamicAreaLighting_TG.dm to account for modern fact and not talk so much about the old system(s)
And a changelog for all this lighting shit, not that anybody could possibly miss it
Uses actual objects on each non-space, dynamically lit turf. Light levels are switched back and forth via animate() and the object's alpha. Supporting colors shouldn't be too hard. Some hacky efficiency improvements means it isn't that much more expensive than current (I think, needs testing). Most of the lighting ss's cost is in checking all the lights and doing big loops, not anything actually in the loops themselves.
Start PDA flashlights on. This was to speed up testing but frankly I think it's a good change in general.
Added a Moved() proc. Called after a successful move.
In the future I hope to move off the luminosity var entirely but that was too slow in testing for me. That's what all that "for(area in sortedAreas) area.luminosity = 1" stuff in the lighting ss is, tests on removing luminosity outright.
obj/effect/effect all pool themselves.
PoolOrNew() can now be passed a type and a list instead of a type and a location. In that case, the list will be passed to New() via arglist().
RCD's now delete their spark system and properly garbage collect.
