A Warning indicates a potential problem in the content file(s) that the user told OpenMW to load. E.g. this might cause an object to not display at all or as intended, however the rest of the game will run fine.
An Error, however, is more likely to be a bug with the engine itself - it means that basic assumptions have been violated and the engine might not run correctly anymore.
The above mostly applies to errors/warnings during game-play; startup issues are handled differently: when a file is completely invalid/corrupted to the point that the engine can not start, that might cause messages that are worded as Error due to the severity of the issue but are not necessarily the engine's fault.
Hopefully, being a little more consistent here will alleviate confusion among users as to when a log message should be reported and to whom.
Previously, clientside representations of players were able to move to a new exterior cell once during their movement tick and then again when sending a cell change packet to the server. Besides causing crashes in CellRef because of a messy cell-changing record, this also led to major desyncs.
Clientside representations of players can now only change their cells when a server-sent cell change packet specifically allows it.
