 ## New Scripts

+- `devel/find-primitive`: finds a primitive variable in memory
 
 ## Fixes
+- Units::getAnyUnit(): fixed a couple problematic conditions and potential segfaults if global addresses are missing
 - `stockpiles`: stopped sidebar option from overlapping with `autodump`
 -@ `autodump`, `automelt`, `autotrade`, `stocks`, `stockpiles`: fixed conflict with building renaming
+- `tweak` block-labors: fixed two causes of crashes related in the v-p-l menu
+- `full-heal`:
+    - units no longer have a tendency to melt after being healed
+    - healed units are no longer treated as patients by hospital staff
+    - healed units no longer attempt to clean themselves unsuccessfully
+    - wounded fliers now regain the ability to fly upon being healing

+- `modtools/create-unit`:
+    - creatures of the appropriate age are now spawned as babies or children where applicable
+    - fix: civ_id is now properly assigned to historical_figure, resolving several hostility issues (spawned pets are no longer attacked by fortress military!)
+    - fix: unnamed creatures are no longer spawned with a string of numbers as a first name
+- `exterminate`: fixed documentation of ``this`` option
+
+## Misc Improvements
+- `blueprint`: added a basic Lua API
