## About The Pull Request
A verb is now available on localhost called `"Export Save as Dev
Preferences"`
This exports your current savefile to `/config/dev_preferences.json`
If you then connect to your localhost as a guest, it will load
`dev_preferences.json` as your preference datum
This allows for devs testing the game locally to load preferences for
guests.
(Guests connecting to live servers are completely unaffected.)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Initially I only did this because the recent keybinding changes have
destroyed my muscle memory when testing w/o logging in.
But as I worked on it I thought of a few other usecases, like when
implementing preference version migration - the dev preference is never
saved which means you can re-compile as much as you want without needing
to revert your save manually.
## About The Pull Request
This won't actually do anything on live, since those are all set to
UTC±0 currently
Pins logging and IC uses of time2text to UTC±0 instead of using the
system timezone (byond default)
Timezones not being set to utc0 caused issues before (and is again)
All timezones are now passed explicitly to make it more likely it's
cargo culted properly at least
Deletes worldtime2text cus it was gameTimestamp default args
## Why It's Good For The Game
Server timezone changes probably shouldn't affect logging, round times,
file hashes, IC time, when you caught fish, etc
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Logging and IC timestamps will now always use UTC±0 and not be
affected by server system timezone changes
fix: Station and round times will not longer be incorrect if the system
timezone is not UTC±0

## About The Pull Request
LSP supports it, let's GOOOOOO
I've removed the 515 tests since they're stable, alongside the libcall
wrapper. left the rustgcall wrapper cause yaknow memes
Just removed all the 515 and 514 particular define wrappers. gaming
## Changelog
🆑
server: Minimum compile version has been bumped to 515. clients still
support 514 but we're gonna start using 515 restricted features for
serverside now.

## About The Pull Request
Converts all logging, excluding perf and investigate, to json.
I focused on making the system as easy to use and as easy to add new
categories as possible.
Due to issues related to logging to world at global creation logger is
now a byond real, which is created directly before Master
Log categories support versioning, secret flagging, and sub-category
filtering. Although all of this is entirely optional for coders.
If you ever want to add a new category and use it, all you need to do is
make the barebones category datum and the define.
I've kept existing procs such as log_game, and simply turned them into a
wrapper for Logger.Log(xxx, ...)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes processing and filtering logs much easier in the future, while
only minimally downgrading log crawling experience.
I am also working on a log viewer frontend for admin usage however that
will take a little bit longer to finish up.
Also makes special logging and data tracking much easier thanks to a
data list processing implementation and handling
## Changelog

server: All logs are now formatted in json, excluding perf and
investigations

## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
This was spoken about in #70492 (specifically
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/70492#issuecomment-1278069607),
and I have been waiting for this to be implemented for some time. It
never got implemented, so I decided to code it myself.
Basically, **if the server host doesn't disable it**, you are free to
export your JSONs as a player, right from the stat-panel. It's a pretty
JSON on 515 versions, too!
It's right here:
Here's what the prettified JSON looks like on 515.
There's a cooldown (default to 10 seconds) between exporting your
preferences.
#### Why is this config?
It's because in the past, a server host could always just file-share the
.sav or .json or whatever to the player, but they would have to do the
explicit option of actually bothering to make the files accessible to
the player. In that same line of logic, the server operator will have to
explicitly make the files accessible. This is mostly because I'm not
sure how good `ftp()` is at being a player function and wanted to have
some sort of cap/control somehow in case an exploit vector is detected
or it's just plain spammed by bots, so we'll just leave it up to the
direct providers of this data to elect if they wish to provide the data
or not.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Players don't have to log into Server A to remember what hairstyle they
loved using when they want to swap to Server B! That's amazing actually.
I always forget what ponytail my character has, and it'll be nice to
have the hairstyle in a readily accessible place (after I prettify the
JSON for myself).
It's also more convenient for server hosts to make player data like this
accessible if they really want to, too.
If we ever add an _import_ feature in the future (which would have to be
done with a LOT of care), this will also be useful. I wouldn't advise it
though having taken a precursory look at how much goes into it while
trying to ascertain the scope of this PR.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: The game now supports export of your preferences into a JSON file!
The verb (export-preferences) should now be available in the OOC tab of
your stat-panel if enabled by server operators.
server: Exporting player preferences is controlled by a configuration
option, 'FORBID_PREFERENCES_EXPORT'. If you do not wish to let clients
access the ftp() function to their own preferences file (probably for
bandwidth reasons?) you should uncomment this or add it to your config
somehow.
config: Server operators are also able to set the cooldown between
requests to download the JSON Preferences file via the
'SECONDS_COOLDOWN_FOR_PREFERENCES_EXPORT' config option.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new datum, which is intended to be a replacement for the stock
savefile type, json_savefile
As you can imagine, this is essentially just a wrapper around a json
file for reading/writing/manipulation that is intended to be a dropin
replacement for savefiles
It also have the ability to import stock savefiles and parse them into a
json tree
