(Migrated from github.com)

All routes that are going to be used server-side have to be known before-hand.
Reason: Instead of sending the route name with every message, an exchange map containing all routes is sent on connect (format: {"meta" : -1, "route0" : 0}).
Advantages: Reduced bandwidth and shorter struct encoding times.
Disadvantages: Telnet debugging becomes even harder than it already is.
ESock and AsyncServer will be removed from the soon to be created WebSocket branch.
Reason: All high-level networking will now take place in the actual handler.
Advantages: Reduced complexity (~200 lines).
Disadvantages: Length encoding is also dropped because fl0w itself is not going to be sending big files anymore, behem0th will have to use a different stack.
Config.py will be replaced with Meh
Reason: Meh is an updated version of Config.py.
Advantages: Meh is just a better version of Config.py.
Disadvantages: Should be embedded as a submodule. Because it uses the typical pip architecture this will cause import problems. Hacks incoming™.
Sync.py will finally be removed.
Reason: behem0th will save the day.
Advantages: Sync.py was shit.
Disadvantages: None, period.
