Right now usernames for the lobby can consist solely of numbers and special characters. This can result in nonsensical usernames and is prone to be abused. While we can't entirely prevent nonsensical usernames, we can at least do a bit better. Therefore, this adjusts the rules for the validation of new lobby usernames in pyrogenesis. Previously these rules were: - length: between 1 and 20 characters - valid characters: lower- and uppercase letters, numbers, ".", "_", "-" The new rules are: - length: between 3 and 20 characters - valid characters: lower- and uppercase letters, numbers, ".", "_", "-" - must contain at least one letter These validation changes are relevant for new user registrations only and don't affect existing users. As this also just adjusts the client-side validation, users will also still be able to register usernames according to the old rules, e.g. when using an older version of 0 A.D., until the same change gets rolled out at a later point in time server-side as well. This was SVN commit r27670.
