This is due to too many oversteppings of the lobby Terms of Use
following JS mods that implemented an UI for players to join lobby games
with arbitrary nicknames or 'replace' / impersonate other players in
lobby games.

The affected function was imprecise, because it called a playerlist
update whenever a "chat" level message was received instead
of only updating the playerlist if it's actually influencing the
displayed playerlist.
When there is a chat message, lobby subject change or user-role change,
there is no need to update the list.

Using references matches the C++ coding style better and should improve
performance a bit in theory. It avoids 2 copies of T in case of the
functions registered with RegisterFunction (mainy used in the GUI). It
should also avoid one or two copies in case of
DEFINE_INTERFACE_METHOD_X, which is used in the simulation, but I
haven't bothered to count it there exactly.
It is now predefined which types have to be passed by const reference
and which are passed by value. Note that references can't be used as
out-parameters (to return multiple values to JS). This hasn't worked
before either and probably never will.
This was SVN commit r17696.
This upgrade also introduces exact stack rooting (see to the wiki:
JSRootingGuide) and fixes problems with moving GC. This allows us to
enable generational garbage collection (GGC).
Measurements a few months ago have shown a performance improvement of a
non-visual replay of around 13.5%. This probably varies quite a bit, but
it should be somewhere between 5-20%. Memory usage has also been
improved. Check the forum thread for details.
Thanks to everyone from the team who helped with this directly or
indirectly (review, finding and fixing issues, the required C++11
upgrade, the new autobuilder etc.)! Also thanks to the SpiderMonkey
developers who helped on the #jsapi channel or elsewhere!

This was SVN commit r16214.
Each GUI Page gets its own compartment and all ScriptInterfaces in the
same thread should now use the same JS Runtime.
This is required for the SpiderMonkey upgrade.
Check the ticket for details.

This was SVN commit r14496.
The Multiplayer lobby needs some changes to avoid compartment
mismatches. Instead of initializing it with a ScriptInterface and
storing script values at different locations, it takes a ScriptInterface
argument in the functions that really need to read or write some script
values and avoids storing values as script values with an associated
compartment where possible.
The scripting interface of the lobby is also adjusted to use
JSInterface_Lobby.h/cpp files as other components instead of adding all
functions to ScriptFunctions.cpp. This makes it a bit more clearly
arranged IMO.
