Changes since 9.1.0-release1:

Checked and tested the entire path registration representing the network of road connections, boats, zeppelins, portals, waystones and teleports, connecting zones and instances, used by functions like IteratePath.

General changes related to path connections:

- Introduced "Portal" as a zone type, required to be able to distinguish between hostile transports like zeppelins (that can be used by the opposite faction) and hostile portals (that cannot be used by the opposite faction). This information is used by IteratePath. All portals and teleports and one boat (Dazar'Alor - Mechagon Island, see below) are now of type "Portal". A Portal is treated like a Transport.

- Introduced "Flightpath" as a zone type, representing a taxi service path to be used as connection when that is the only way to gain access to a zone without using a flying mount. It's sort of a fake road connection, implemented at specific locations to make sure ALL zones known in LibTourist's administration are connected to each other. A Flightpath is treated like a Transport. See below for a list of introduced Flight paths.

- Improved the function that determines the price of a connection for IteratePath when trying to find a route between two zones. Hostile portals and flightpaths are now inaccessible. Flightpaths are relatively expensive as these should only be included in a route when there is no alternative. Finally, expansion content that is not yet available to a character (based on character level) is now inaccessible: no route will be found by IteratePath.

- Reverse engineered the IteratePath function (which has not changed at all since 2007!) so I finally understand how it works. Added code comments to clarify. The function code still remains unchanged :-)

Bugfixes related to path connections:

- Lua error: when IteratePath encountered Northern Stranglethorn while searching for a path, an error would occur when the game locale was not set to English (zone name was not translated, causing a mismatch)
- Several instances were missing a path connection from the zone they reside in to the instance; this has been fixed so all instances can be used by IteratePath as a starting point for a route
- Corrected destination of the Orgrimmar/Stormwind portals to Vashj'ir, now connect to Abyssal Depths
- Fixed The Maw - Oribos Waystone (wrong travel direction)
- Fixed typo in Bloodmaul Slag Mines path to Frostfire Ridge
