See the corresponding Bukkit commit for details.
Implementation details:
- Any packets that include an itemstack will send air stacks as null; maybe this will even eliminate the client crash that occurs if the client receives an air stack
- Better handling of null itemstacks in general (ie less converting them to air stacks)
- Inventory.setContents() can now take an array smaller than the inventory without error
- Player.updateInventory() should now correctly update the result slot in a crafting inventory
Some small credit goes to Afforess (initial implementation of openInventory() methods) and Drakia (initial implementation of InventoryOpenEvent and InventoryCloseEvent).
