• Improve render performance by not using Forge's dynamic lighting hook (IForgeBlock#getLightValue), but rather introduce a block state (light_level) for cable buses to represent their current emissive light level.
• Massively improve render performance of very large amounts of cables by using a fixed bounding box for view frustum culling (TileEntity#getRenderBoundingBox, a Forge extension that would previously load the TE and use it's collision box for view frustum culling).
• Fixes #4714: Make players assume ownership of the entire connected network when they place a security station to prevent the network from not reforming in the same way when the players leaves/re-enters the chunks (since unsecured networks of unauthorized players would normally not connect to a secured network)
• Fixes #4699: AE's glass should only hide it's sides adjacent to other AE glass.
  Also disables spawn on AE's glass same as Vanilla glass.
• Fixes #4693: Fix color applicator not working on cable-buses.
• Fixes #4661: Do not update a tile entity when it's in an unloaded chunk (i.e. during chunk unloading) (#4708)
• Fixes #4704: QNB is not finding a registered QNB because it believes the chunk to be unloaded.
• Crystal Growth Refactor (#4702)
  • Unfinished seeds now slowly sink when ejected by an annihilation plane or other system (emulates a player throwing it in)
  • Instead of checking for "isLiquid", we now check for a new tag (appliedenergistics2:crystal_purification_medium) to check if the crystal is submerged in an allowed fluid for growth, defaults to #minecraft:water.
• Remove unneeded cable-bus inventory-model, which caused the part models to be loaded twice leading to unnecessary memory-usage.
• Fixes #4680: Facade advancement is showing an untextured facade.
• Fixes #4683: Fluid import bus not importing fluids
• Implemented an upper bound for the cable bus model cache and fixes a ConcurrentModificationException that may occur when multiple cables are being rendered at the same time (#4670)
• Take NBT into account when comparing damageable items. This fixes damageable items merging when they shouldn't. (#4675)
• Fixes removal of facades not invalidating the cached server-side collision boxes. (#4663)
• Serialize the complete NBT data to avoid mismatches (#4665), solving problems where items could no longer be picked up from ME Terminals since the client's item was different from the server's item.
• Do not double-compress packets that update ME terminals (and similar UIs) since Minecraft already compresses packets
• Remove the use of SlotItemHandler since we are only faking an inventory-backed slot, (#4654), fixing crash bugs with certain inventory mods.
• Fix tiles that have a "powered" block state from not being able to be broken when they are connected to a powered grid.
