      • resource damage includes units and structures

  • Graphs:
    • added Resources Lost differential graph on Hotkey Numpad3
    • added Resources Gathered comparative graph on Hotkey Numpad4
    • Army, Resources Lost and Gathered graphs are now using the most recent value instead of averaging the last 6 seconds
  • Minimap:
    • player camera positions are now shown on minimap in 1vs1
  • World:
    • neutral units are selectable through the fog
  • Leaderpanel:
    • added production tab that allows observer interfaces to display information near unit icons. Supported are:
      • Chrono Boost
    • removed Reaper's KD8 Charges from the structures tab
    • fixed Reactors, Tech Labs and rich Refineries/Assimilators/Extractors creating multiple buttons
  • General:
    • moved default observed player from 14 to 15 (Hostile). This allows 14 player FFAs
  • Features for Observer Interfaces:
    • saves the player slot number of each player to the PlayerId score
      • this assists observer interfaces in figuring out which Player Id is the left/right player in 1vs1 matches
    • saves the player status in the PlayerStatus score
      • this assists observer interfaces in figuring out if a player is still playing, left in victory/defeat/tie
    • animation event "TextUpdated" is fired when worker killed counter's text is updated => Observer UIs can animate
    • added player score that provides a player's starting position belonging to the initial 1=left or 2=right team for observer interfaces
• Bug Fixes
  • SC2:
    • Units Lost Resources:
      • Overlords with Ventral Sacs and Overseers made from them will report its actual resource worth on death
        • this was 25/25 too low
      • Archons will report their actual resource worth on death instead of assuming the Archon was created by one HT and one DT
    • corrected score amount of Upgrades to match resource costs:
      • Cloaking Field, Hyperflight Rotors, Infernal Pre-Igniter, Drilling Claws, Smart Servos,
      • Tunneling Claws, Charge, Extended Thermal Lance, Flux Vanes
  • WCS GameHeart:
    • fixed Dark Shrine not showing upgrades in research on a tag
    • fixed potential bug when worker is killed at the same time as that player's notification timer expires resulting in a hidden notification and subsequently resulting in a wrong displayed count when the next one is killed
    • fixed not respecting facility slot limit which breaks the entire upgrade notification system, if upgrades in research exceed 100
    • fixed a bug when UI upgrade notification slots are exceeded (> 50) and the upgrade is cancelled/finished in that slot
    • fixed a Reactor being destroyed causing a blue unit icon when the player is supply blocked
    • fixed white production labels being able to appear briefly on screen at the map start
    • Worker Killed Notification counts larger than 99 will now shrink to fit instead of showing an ellipsis
    • fixed the last upgrade notification slot never being used
    • fixed having more than 50 upgrades causing further upgrades to not be displayed. Now the limit is 100 as previously intended
    • graph shortcuts are now disabled when not playing a 1vs1 instead of showing an empty graph dialog
• Optimizations
  • fixed performance issues of Battlecruiser script triggers created by Blizzard
    • the game will now use less CPU when issuing commands and when units execute abilities (global improvement for all units)
    • the BC's behavior did not change
  • production label check filters missiles faster (trigger runs 30% faster on average)
  • optimized production label's UI code to use less resources and not save unused entries into the data table
    • this will make the script slow down less over time
  • improved upgrade notification update thread to not scan used slots multiple times
  • re-ordered unit type checks based on likelihood
  • reduced minimum loop iterations when updating upgrade notifications
  • trigger events are now only registered, if the feature is enabled and can function

  • eliminated duplicated calculations
  • eliminated unnecessary variable allocations
  • eliminated duplicated function calls with additional variables
  • less code is executed for disabled features
  • removed superfluous upgrade name overrides
  • more general trigger optimizations based on the trigger debugger's execution duration
