 * If an area is made part of a zone via /zone or /zone_add, all players are now notified about it. A similar behavior occurs now with /zone_remove
 * All /showname_set notifications now include the old showname of the affected user if applicable
+* Clients may now send empty sound effects
 * Fixed scream_range in area list yaml files not supporting the keyword <ALL> to indicate all areas should be able to receive a scream coming from a particular area
 * Fixed scream_range in area list yaml files not checking if the areas a scream can reach to from a particular area exist
 * Fixed /scream, /whisper and /party_whisper raising errors if a message was sent to a deafened player with a bypass message starter. They now sent messages but filtered

 * Fixed /scream, /whisper and /party_whisper not sending character folder information, which prevented rendering of showname images
