TFS 1.4 official release

In this section, we will cover the official release of The Forgotten Server, TFS 1.4 !

One of the major features from this release is Revscriptsys, which allows us to register scripts using Lua instead of XML. Another important feature is a custom RSA key loader, which will allow you to use the RSA private key from a PEM file you may generate, thereby granting more security to your server. Some of the other features are: a Docker image to easily set up TFS, storing town lists in database, POSIX signal handling...

Following these lines, you can find a changelog made of newly added features, issues that have been fixed, enhancements, and so on.
