On the lua side, notably minetest.env:<function>(<args>) should now
be replaced by minetest.<function>(<args>).
The old way is and will stay supported for a long time.

When accidentally misspelling a name, privileges are sometimes granted to non-existent players, leaving them with the extra privileges, but without the default privileges, if they ever join the server. This corrects that by disallowing /grant from working with invalid players. For completeness, it does the same for /revoke.
According to #253, using `/clearpassword` without an argument causes the server to crash from an assertion failure. I've resubmitted matttpt's patch as a pull request to aid in merging.
