[h2]Changelist:[/h2]

• Dedicated server - Added UI elements to API controls for restarting current session and send out penalties to players. These currently have some known issues such as not resetting incident points on a race restart, or skipping the garage phase and restarting straight to the grid.
  
• Dedicated server - Potential fix for some users getting kicked for high latency after a session switch.
  
• Dedicated server - Fixed an issue where a penalty received by a player in the first race session would still be applied in the second race session.
  
• Shared Memory - Added incident points data. Updated minor version to 7. (retrocompatible)
  
• Controllers - Some Thrustmaster wheels were reportedly acting up with flatspot effects after a recent firmware update (30). Default profiles have it turned off as a consequence until resolved.
  
• Physics - Fixed an issue with friction heat calculations where you could see tire temperatures rise unexpectedly at low speeds
  
• Physics - Changed Ignition / Starter logic so that if you have those controls bount to buttons, you now have to press and maintain the Starter button until the engine is fully started.
  
• Sounds - Road noise volume slider range now properly offers 0-100% range
  
• Sounds - Fixed the last occurrences of hearing sudden high revs / hitting limiter from other cars while watching replays or spectating multiplayer races
  
• Gameplay - “Position Bar Relative” setting caused some position bar issue in multiplayer where the same name would be repeated in all the boxes when that option was enabled. As a quick fix, we temporarily disabled this feature and forced it to be disabled.
