-* **MySQL** / **MariaDB**: to store content, and user data, we rely on
-  [MySQL][40]/[MariaDB][41] to handle data.
-* **ACE**: the [ADAPTIVE Communication Environment][43] aka. *ACE* provides us
-  with a solid cross-platform framework for abstracting operating system
-  specific details.
-* **Recast**: in order to create navigation data from the client's map files,
-  we use [Recast][44] to do the dirty work. It provides functions for
-  rendering, pathing, etc.
-* **G3D**: the [G3D][45] engine provides the basic framework for handling 3D
-  data, and is used to handle basic map data.
-* **Stormlib**: [Stormlib][46] provides an abstraction layer for reading from the
-  client's data files.
-* **Zlib**: [Zlib][53] ([Zlib for Windows][51]) provides compression algorithms
-  used in both MPQ archive handling and the client/server protocol.
-* **Bzip2**: [Bzip2][54] ([Bzip2 for Windows][52]) provides compression
-  algorithms used in MPQ archives.
-* **OpenSSL**: [OpenSSL][48] ([OpenSSL for Windows][55]) provides encryption
-  algorithms used when authenticating clients.
