Experimental Update 1.21 (Change Log)

Hello BI, first off thanks for this great patch 1.21 with a multitude of fixes and new stuff.

From the start of 1.21 Experimental I keep getting following error in my console log:

14:38:40 !!! [CE][offlineDB] :: Type 'NorseHelmet' will be ignored. (Type does not exist. (Typo?))
14:38:40 !!! [CE][offlineDB] :: Type 'NorseHelmet' will be ignored. (Type does not exist. (Typo?))

The 'ChristmasTree_Green' always appears at this point in the log too, but the "NorseHelmet" is new.

It is the way it is written in "types.xml" but CE cannot match it.
