0.16.1 RC3

A third release candidate is upon us. We fixed most of the reported bugs, with just a handful awaiting confirmation or debugging help. This is hopefully the very last RC before the official 0.16.1 release, and a long break between stable releases until 0.18.

Of note is that the client switched to using the ANGLE renderer by default - this should fix odd client freezes for some without any need to fiddle with commandline settings. We didn't get to test it on the huge number of Windows PCs out there, though - if the client starts complaining about missing DirectX renderers, please let us know!
