Writing vectors as strings is very common and should belong to `vector.*`. `minetest.pos_to_string` is also too long to write, implies that one should only use it for positions and leaves no spaces after the commas.
In compiler design especially, leaving behavior as "undefined" is a _strong_ condition that basically states that all possible integrity is violated; it's the kind of thing that happens when, say, dereferencing a pointer with unknown provenance, and most typically leads to a crash, but can result in all sorts of spectacular errors--thus, "it is undefined" how your program will melt down.
The pure-Lua implementation of `key_value_swap` does not permit UB _per se_ (assuming the implementation of Lua itself is sound), but does deterministically choose the value to which a key is mapped (the last in visitation order wins--since visitation order is arbitrary, _some_ value _will_ be chosen). Most importantly, the program won't do something wildly unexpected.

Add more detailed light detection functions, a function to get the artificial light (torches) and a function to get the sunlight as seen by the player (you can specify timeofday).

Features:
* Define Minimap available modes (surface/radar, scale) from Lua, using player:set_minimap_modes()
* New HUD elements for displaying minimap with custom size and placing
* New minimap mode for displaying a texture instead of the map
Fixes some other third person camera specific attachments.
Implements a single new flag for entities to be forced visible in first person mode.
Old mods do not need to be updated to use the new flag and are fully backwards compatible.
Allows catching a chatcommand call just after the command and the
parameters are parsed but before its existence is checked and before the
corresponding function is run. Returning `true` from a callback function
will prevent default handling of the command leaving mods to handle the
command manually.
"Predicts" whether something will be swapped for allow callbacks, then calls callbacks a second time with swapped properties.

Add override targets for all special_tiles entries in node definitions, allowing texture packs to replace these textures. This makes overrides work properly with a variety of drawtypes.
The targets are named special1 through special6, covering the the current length of the special_tiles array.

Replace on_auth_fail callback with more versatile on_authplayer
Better clarify account login process in Lua API documentation
Change initial timestamp for newly registered accounts to -1
automatic_rotate does not make sense if it is absolute. Make it relative.
To avoid bouncing, set_rotation did not update the client when automatic_rotate was set. That's no longer necessary because the new spinning method applies the rotation on top of the current one, and the updates are necessary for set_rotation to actually transform the object.

This adds support for optional “off state” icons for statbars. “off state icons” can be used to denote the lack of something, like missing hearts or bubbles.
Add "off state" textures to the builtin statbars.

New formspec elements:
- `scroll_container[<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;<scrollbar name>;<orientation>;<scroll factor>]`
- `scroll_container_end[]`
Other elements can be embedded in this element. Scrollbar must be placed manually.
The game.conf has a disallowed_mapgens option. However, some games
require a certain mapgen to be used, like the CTF plugin. This change
adds an option to specify allowed mapgens so that the setting can be
specified in a way that needn't be updated as map generators are added
to Minetest.

This was previously documented under the general ObjectRef section with a note that this won't work on players. So I think this would fit better with Lua entity-only methods.
This PR also changes the title of the Lua entity-only section from `LuaEntitySAO-only` to `Lua entity only`.
Biome-defined dungeon nodes was added as a feature to MT 5.0.0.
So now remove most of the hardcoded dungeon node code that assumes a
game has stone, sandstone, desert stone, and no other stone types.
If biome-defined dungeon nodes are not found, dungeon nodes fall back
to the 'cobble' mapgen alias if present, if not present they fall back
to biome-defined 'stone'.
Remove now-unnecessary mapgen aliases from MapgenBasic. Non-mgv6 games
now only need to define 3 to 5 mapgen aliases.
Document dungeon parameters.
Make c_lava_source fallback to c_water_source as both are used as cave
liquids.
This allows games to specify biome cave liquids and avoid the old
hardcoded behaviour, but preserves the ability to have multiple
cave liquids in one biome, such as lava and water.
When multiple cave liquids are defined by the biome definition,
make each entire cave use a randomly chosen liquid, instead of
every small cave segment using a randomly chosen liquid.
Plus an optimisation:
Don't place nodes if cave liquid is defined as 'air'
* Force send a mapblock to a player.
Send a single mapblock to a specific remote player.
This is badly needed for mods and games where players are teleported
into terrain which may be not generated, loaded, or modified
significantly since the last player visit.
In all these cases, the player currently ends up in void, air, or
inside blocks which not only looks bad, but has the effect that the
player might end up falling and then the server needs to correct for
the player position again later, which is a hack.
The best solution is to send at least the single mapblock that the
player will be teleported to. I've tested this with ITB which does this
all the time, and I can see it functioning as expected (it even shows
a half loaded entry hallway, as the further blocks aren't loaded yet).
The parameter is a blockpos (table of x, y, z), not a regular pos.
The function may return false if the call failed. This is most likely
due to the target position not being generated or emerged yet, or
another internal failure, such as the player not being initialized.
* Always send mapblock on teleport or respawn.
This avoids the need for mods to send a mapblock on teleport or
respawn, since any call to `player:set_pos()` will pass this code.
Makes the liquid waving shader per-nodedef like waving leaves/plants,
instead of being applied to all liquids.
Like the waving leaves/plants shaders, the liquid waving shader can
also be applied to meshes and nodeboxes.
Derived from a PR by t0ny2.
Like randomwalk caves, preserve nodes that have 'is_ground_content = false',
to avoid dungeons that generate out beyond the edge of a mapchunk destroying
nodes added by mods in 'register_on_generated()'.
Issue discovered by, and original PR by, argyle77.
* Add sounds for falling and attached nodes
The sound specified in `node_definition.sounds.fall` is used.
When a falling node is spawned at a position or an attached node drops, the sound is played at this position.
* allow all sorts of soundspecs
- minetest.get_hit_params
- minetest.get_dig_params
- table.indexof
- Scope of minetest.register_alias
- Vector function parameters

- Syntax/semantics of the fields in `minetest.on_player_receive_fields`
Store the rotation in the node as a 4x4 transformation matrix internally (through IDummyTransformationSceneNode), which allows more manipulations without losing precision or having gimbal lock issues.
Network rotation is still transmitted as Eulers, though, not as matrix. But it will stay this way in 5.0.
* Add missing tables of registered things
* Eliminate some duplication
Registration functions in 'Registered definitions' section merged into
'Registration functions' section.
* Misc. fixes
* Add privilege definition table
* Remove not-special soil group from special groups
* Merge two registration functions sections
* Move 'added to' information to tables section
Also fix some capitalization and missing periods
* Minor fixes
* Split Registration functions into two subsections
And update Registered definition tables to match order
* Fixes
* Adds Lua methods 'set_rotation()' and 'get_rotation'. Also changed some method names to be more clear. Instead of an f32 being sent over network for yaw, now a v3f is sent for rotation on xyz axes. Perserved Lua method set_yaw/setyaw so that old mods still work, other wise to set yaw they would need to switch to set_rotation(0, yaw, 0).
Mods will now have to initialize the list/slot in order to define the default player hand.
They may use the inventory callbacks to prevent abuse of this list.
Improve item types descriptions.
Add replacements field to fuel definition.
Shorten two headers.
Markdown fixes.
