SurrealChat.net SurrealServices/Changes in 0.3.6.2

The 0.3.6 series is primarily to be noted as a major change in the database structure. Previously nick registration data, channel founders/successors, channel access data, and other things as well, were indexed by nick. The new structure indexes them by a unique nickreg.id. This makes the changing of the root-nick simpler, and should also speed up lookups in many cases. Further to be noted is the addition of a new generic table, nicktext. It allows many more 'random' features like AUTH, GREET, etc w/o having to create a new table for each. Theoretically many features could be moved into nicktext, and a chantext table is planned.

0.3.6 and 0.3.6.1 were internal development/testing releases.
