Straight from the Camelot Herald:
Dark Age of Camelot

Live Version 1.66e Release Notes

November 6, 2003


===================================



NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- We have added the /bu command as an alternative to /bc to chat in battlegroups. Note that /bc still works, but /bu is a keyboard friendly alternative.

- Boats have been adjusted further to better predict which boat is in front to avoid locking collision conditions.

- Monsters should follow their leaders up and down better underwater with less spinning/warping.

- Animist summon turret spells will fail if the ground target is adjusted out of animist line of sight during the cast.

- Item summoning abilities and spells will properly update player encumberance after summon.

- Item summoning abilities and spells (such as Summon Wood) no longer fail if the item summoned will over-encumber the user.

- Storm spells won't affect a target with an engage radius if the caster is currently outside that radius.

- Summoned creatures (Such as Theurgist pets and Animist Turrets) won't cause loss of quest kill credit when their summoner leaves the region as they continue to attack a monster.

- We have reduced the length of necro pet tether if pet has encounter-related no-purge effects.

- Fixed a bug where some Master Level Abilities could be quick-cast. All Master Level Abilities should now be properly flagged as no quick-cast.

- Fixed a bug that caused the length of time that a player was not worth realm points after death to be longer then intended. This bug was introduced in version 1.66
