Test server with completly new architecture

As some of you know I am working on rewriting game
server. I changed internal architecture to achieve some goals like:
eliminate bugs,
simplify adding new features,
improve performance.
Instead of replacing the game sever with new one which is not well tested yet I decide to create separate
test server which has
copy of all accounts, clans, etc.
To connect to it use special PC version of FT.
You can download it from here:
http://dmgamestudio.com/files/tmp/ft7_test.zip
You can use your account or create new one. There are no rules on
test server you can do whatever you want. You will be not punished.
No progress from
test server will be transferred to the main
server.
Please report any problems you will find.

Chat rules (abuse, harrassment, etc) should still he considered valid on test server, in my opinion.

I assume if you are killed in PvP and lose gear or die and lose xp that "progress" would also not transfer?

I updated main server with the new code. Changes were made in most of the source code files so please report any problems you will find.
There is also new feature that you cannot build next to enemy clan buildings. I fixed also removed/destroyed clan buildings which weren't disappearing from map.

Two things:
- Does this include the versions for:
- Will the "auto walk" by sliding finger/mouse pointer off the 'D-Pad' be reinstated?
- using two version of FT in order to auto walk when on a "trek" and then relog to a newer version to get all the updates with fighting mobs, fixes, etc.
I promise I won't ask about the old borders anymore.
