TDM 2.04 Stability Release!

New to this release are:

grayman enhanced AI searching to allow for wider, more realistic searches.

grayman fixed the infamous "barmaid gets stuck while peeing" problem in "Inn Business".
grayman allowed AI to see weapons dropped by other AI.
grayman fixed the "AI get stuck in sit-down & get up" cycle. This was causing them to scoot themselves out of the map.

SteveL has fixed a glitch that resulted in occasional sound popping
SteveL has adjusted the grabber so that it is easier to lift up objects without banging into things
SteveL has fixed breakable glass behavior
SteveL has fixed collision behavior on skin swapping
SteveL has fixed distant decals rendering over the top of objects they should be behind
SteveL has optimized particle bounds calculations to reduce map load times
SteveL has created a new "ai_see" argument for lights so mappers can create decorative lighting without illuminating the player accidentally
SteveL has fixed a bug where lod_bias objects leave collision models behind on map start when set to be removed
SteveL has improved Dmap (map compiling) performance dramatically by removing logspam and decoupling vsync
SteveL has created an new quicksave system that alternates between files to prevent corruption caused by poor OS file handling.
SteveL has fixed the shadow bobbing that happens when a player holds a lantern in water
Rebb has fixed Ambient shading on rotated models
grayman has repaired the savegame crash caused by card players.
Agent Jones has fixed a few stability issues with the Mission Downloader

grayman expanded the space allotted to the current mission name to accommodate longer names.
SteveL has added Durandall's Inventory GUI system which allows for mouse based inventory management

charisma and the Darkfate community provided a Russian translation of the main menu (and have mission translations)
Anderson supplied a fix to the Romanian translation to replace unspecified characters with ones that are currently available.
