Las Venturas Playground 42

Hi all -
I'm glad to announce that Las Venturas Playground 42 has been released.
This feature introduces NuwaniJS, a rewritten version of our IRC bots completely in JavaScript. It's open source, is far more advanced and compatible than the previous version of Nuwani, and brings a ton of new features for players and administrators alike.
Other changes in this release include:
Many thanks to Xanland, Holsje and W1nn1e_HC for their contributions, and Halo for his continuous excellent testing.
There is one clarification I would like to make regarding disabling commands for temporary administrators. Our position continues to be that people who receive temporary administrator rights are trusted with the responsibilities that come with it, and they should be able to carry out in-game administrative duties just like any anyone else. There are, however, cases where they aren't in a position to have the knowledge, experience or necessary actions to make consistent decisions with the rest of us, and those we'd like to capture.
Finally, this release also updates the versions of MySQL, v8 and Boost that we depend on, bringing in the latest security enhancements and capabilities.
Thanks,
Russell
