Packaging
Renamed the target and binary for the Boost unit tests from test to
boost_unit_tests. This quells warnings from CMake about reserved target
names, and reduces confusion about which test is intended: the wesnoth
executable or the standard shell command.
The CMake build system now uses standard Kitware-supported variables
from the GNUInstallDirs module. Distributions might have to change
the defaults to suit their FHS needs.
The previous addition of GNUInstallDirs necessitates a bumping of the
CMake minimum requirements, which is now at 2.8.5. Most distributions
already use a CMake version above 3.0, so this would only affect users
of vintage CMake versions.

stored in the hicolor icon theme's directory

wesnoth.set_dialog_callback.
Multiplayer

will be plain black.
New really nice HD main menu/storyscreen background.
WFL Engine
A new string insert() function has been added, similar to replace().

Added a major_amla option in AMLAs to keep the XP bar teal-white rather
than purple for AMLAs that behave similar to regular advancements.

author can't accidentally use them and make an add-on that breaks on
GNU/Linux and macOS.
File paths are now case sensitive even on Windows.
[show_if] is now usable in the [objectives] subtag [gold_carryover].
Macro SCEPTRE_OF_FIRE_EFFECT damage increased to 15x4 so Sceptre is an
improvement over the uncut ruby of fire (14x4) in TRoW.
Added [lua] as a conditional tag, with identical syntax.
The code in such a tag must return a true or false value.
Lua errors now cause as a condition to fail instead of pass.
New formula= key in [set_variable] allows evaluating a WFL formula with
the variable, which may be either a scalar or a container.
A missing [event] name= key will now raise a WML error instead of being
silently ignored.
Units hidden with [hide_unit] will remain hidden after reloading saves.
Fixed regression where most SUF keys would match all units if given "" as
a value.
Miscellaneous and bug fixes
Suggested save file names now use spaces instead of underscores.
Fixed crash after canceling add-on download (bug #2203)
Fixed ingame help showing units you haven't encountered (bug #2135)

Add wesnoth.format function to substitute variables into a string.

New global "wml" table groups together all the functions for working
with WML tables, and its subtable "wml.variable" groups functions
for working with WML variables. Most of these are functions previously
found only in helper.lua; they no longer need a require to use.
Warnings for using deprecated Lua functions now only appear in debug mode.
wesnoth.game_config is now accessible in application and mapgen kernels,
though some of its contents are missing.

In particular, helper.distance_between is deprecated in favour of
wesnoth.map.distance_between
The following existing functions now also work in plugins and map
generators: wesnoth.log, wesnoth.get_time_stamp, wesnoth.get_image_size
Several error messages now point more accurately to the actual location
of the error.
wesnoth.simulate_combat output has additional keys:
untouched (in first two return values) indicates whether the unit took
any damage
number (in second two return values) contains the Lua index of the
attack, as opposed to attack_num which contains the WML index.
weapon (in second two return values) contains the actual weapon userdata

Language and i18n
Updated translations: British English, Czech, German, Portuguese (Brazil),
Scottish Gaelic
Lua API
New wesnoth.set_side_id function can change flag, color, or both; it automatically
updates cached flag info for you (but you may still need to redraw to see it).
The wesnoth.place_shroud and wesnoth.clear_shroud functions can alter shroud data
for a single side. They accept a list of locations, a shroud data string, or the
special value "all".

animations for a group of units
New Lua API functions for altering AI:
wesnoth.switch_ai replaces the entire AI with a definition from a file

stages, and simple aspects.
(Aspect tags are not fully parsed; only the id and facet subtags are used.)
wesnoth.add_ai_component, delete_ai_component, change_ai_component
These do the work of the [modify_ai] tag for a single side.
Side proxy changes:

Language and i18n
Updated translations: Finnish, Polish, Russian
Lua API
Upgrade to Lua 5.3.3+
Consult http://www.lua.org/ for a full change list and updated documenation.
bit32 functions removed
utf8 support added
Added new function wesnoth.fire_event_by_id to fire an event with a given ID.
Added new function wesnoth.remove_modifications, which removes applied
modifications of the chosen type from a unit. The most efficient use is to
remove all modifications with a specific duration value.
Also callable as u:remove_modifications.
The built-in conditionals have_unit, have_location, and variable are now
present in the wesnoth.wml_conditionals table. This means they can be
directly called, extended with new features, or even overridden with custom
implementations.
New recall_filter field in unit proxy returns the [filter_recall] config
New variations field in unit_type proxy returns a list of unit variations
Each member is a full unit_type describing that variation.
The table is iterable with pairs().
Lua side, unit_type, and unit attack proxies can now be compared with ==
with identity semantics. (Previously, each time such a proxy was obtained,
it would produce a new object that did not compare equal to any others.)
Lua unit_type lists (wesnoth.unit_types and unit_type.variations) are now
countable with the Lua length operator.
Lua dialog functions now support the stacked widget and the unit preview pane
New wesnoth.show_menu function shows a dropdown menu at the mouse location
Lua attack proxy has new read_only field which is true for unit_type attacks
If true, attempts to change the attack will result in an error.
The name field in Lua attack proxy is now writable
The attacks field in the Lua unit proxy is now writable
Specifically, attacks may be replaced, appended (by assigning a new ID or
the next valid index), or removed (by setting a field to nil).
wesnoth.show_message_dialog supports second_portrait and second_mirror keys
in its first argument, which produces a dialog with two portraits.
The callable userdata returned by wesnoth.textdomain can now be called with
an additional two parameters (a plural string and a count) in order to support
gettext plurals.
New matches function in team and unit attack metatables, which test if the
side or weapon matches a filter.
helper.lua metatables are now protected from external access; getmetatable()
will return a descriptive string instead of the metatable.
ai.aspects.attacks no longer returns a full attacks analysis. Instead it
returns a table with "own" and "enemy" keys containing the valid units
for attackers and targets. The function ai.get_attacks() still returns the
full attack analysis.
Aspect fetcher functions (eg ai.get_aggression()) are now deprecated in favour
of the ai.aspects table.
The location_set iter and stable_iter functions can now be called with no argument.
In this case, they return an iterator suitable for use in a for loop.
New wesnoth.wml_matches_filter function takes a WML table and a WML filter and tests
if the table matches the filter. The filter syntax is as with [filter_wml].
Music and sound effects
Added a preference to pause the music when the game loses focus.
Now the music fades out between scenarios.
Networking
Ported campaignd to use boost.asio instead of SDL_net.
Removed unit tests for old networking stack. This was the last part that
depended on SDL_net
Performance
When a heuristic determines that it's probably faster, the game predicts
battle
outcome by simulating a few thousand fights instead of calculating exact
probabilities. This method is inexact, but in very complex battles
(extremely high HP, drain, slow, berserk, etc.) it's significantly faster than the
default damage calculation method.
Units
Changed the sound for the melee attack of the
Loyalist Bowman, Orcish Crossbowman and Orcish Slurbow.
User Interface
Trait descriptions in the help are now generated. (This makes user-defined
traits show up in the help as well.)
Fix game map sometimes showing and buttons sometimes not rendered properly
in story screen (bug #24553)
Improved font rendering on Windows.
Redesigned gamestate inspector window.
Recall dialog no longer shows units that no leader on the map can recall
(due to the [filter_recall] not matching)
Weapon specials only gained through AMLAs now get a help topic
The "Cores" button on the title screen is now hidden if no cores other
than the default are installed
Redesigned game dropdown/context menu appearance
New categories bar in hotkey preferences allows you to filter hotkeys
Fix issue with the title screen not redrawing when the window size or
fullscreen setting changes with a dialog open over it.
Restored descriptions for choices in combobox-based Advanced Preferences
entries (lost in 1.13.3).
When using the --wconsole option, the game now prints a prompt in the event
of a fatal error to avoid closing the console before the error can be seen.
Restored GUI2 textbox selection highlight lost in version 1.13.3.
Added a "Draw Number of Bitmaps" option to the map editor, for terrain
graphics diagnostics.
Ported file chooser dialog to GUI2, and redesigned it to include a
bookmarks bar with predefined and user-defined shortcuts.
Tweaked the border/groove color scheme on textboxes and sliders to better
reflect their state and mimic window and button borders.
The following dialogs have been converted to GUI2: Unit Recall, Unit List,
Game Stats, MP Create, MP Game Lobby, Faction Select, Unit Advance.
Improved UI responsiveness.
Tab completion in the Lua console is improved. It can now handle paths
containing square brackets (though it won't complete them) and will not
offer keys that are not valid identifiers.
WML Engine
Added ignore_special_locations=yes|no, default no, to [terrain_mask] to
ignore the special locations given in the mask, leaving all those on the
underlying map unchanged.
[terrain_mask] starting locations and special locations are relative to
the mask. Existing names replace any in the underlying map regardless of
their location. Each name as a unique location; but a location may have
any number of names. While a map/mask can give only one name per location;
stacking masks allows multiple names. Names cannot be removed.
Added {HAS_NO_TURN_LIMIT} macro for objectives
New attributes for [message] with [option]
Added variable= to [message]: if specified, gives variable name to
receive the [option] index (1..n) selected
only used if any [option] appear
Added value= to [option]: if specified, gives value to store in variable
instead of index number, only used if variable= appears in [message]
New second_unit, second_image, second_mirror attributes for showing two
portraits on a single message.
New attributes for [role]:
search_recall_list=yes|no|only(default yes) controls where to look
reassign=yes|no(default yes) if no, check for a unit and do not assign to
another
[auto_recall] sub-tag, if assigned to recall list, gives [recall]
attributes (no SUF)
[else] sub-tag, WML to execute if no unit found for the role
New help_text= key for [trait] to set the description displayed in the
help.
Added tag id= [fire_event], which allows raising events by id
[modify_unit] now understands [effect] tags, which it applies directly.
This replaces the use of [object] with no_write=yes (which will be removed
in the next release).
Add [object]take_only_once=yes|no (default yes) - if set to no, automatic
tracking is disabled for this object (allowing it to be taken multiple
times even if it has an id).
New [remove_object] tag which removes applied [object]s from matched units;
it can filter on the entire [object] WML. The most efficient use is to
remove all objects with a specific duration value.
Renamed [foreach] variable= to array=
Renamed [foreach] item_var= to variable=
Fixed several bugs in the name generation of the map generator
Fixed issues with using [endlevel] in victory/defeat events
The {MAGENTA_IS_THE_TEAM_COLOR} macro is no longer needed in [unit_type]
It is now the default behaviour unless overridden with the flag_rgb key.
New key type_tree in unit filters - similar to type, but also matches any
possible advancements of the specified unit types.
[options][combo] in [scenario], [modifications], etc has been renamed
to [choice] (which is more accurate). The old name still works for now.
~ADJUST_ALPHA() image path function now takes a WFL formula. It can access
the following variables: x, y, width, height, red, green, blue, alpha.
It no longer accepts a percentage (use ~O() for that).
Fixed [rule] in [terrain_mask] ignoring use_old=yes
Fixed filter returning invalid locations if invalid locations were given
in a variable that was used with find_in=
Moves cave map generator to lua. scenario_generation=cave is now deprecated and
will be removed soon. The Lua version has feature parity with the old one, but
the syntax is a little different. It supports both map_generation and
scenario_generation.
Tunnel functionality was expanded and the default behavior was altered in
order to make moves through tunnels consistent with all other moves:
Vison through tunnels is now possible and enabled by default. It can be
turned off by setting allow_vision=no in the [tunnel] tag.
Own and allied units on tunnel exits do not block the tunnel any more.
The blocking behavior can be reenabled by setting pass_allied_units=no
in the [tunnel] tag.
Added text_alignment= key to [story][part] to specify horizonal alignment of
text.
[set_variable] now supports abs= (absolute value), power= (raise to
power) and root= (extracts root, 'square' is the only value currently
supported) keys
Individual [terrain_graphics] rotations can now be skipped entirely by
using "skip" in the rotations= list.
WML macros can now include optional arguments with default values that the
caller can override.
Miscellaneous and bug fixes
A new way to make units invulnerable for debugging: select the unit and type
";unit invulnerable=yes". This method operates by decreasing the opponent's hit
chance to zero: as a result, it doesn't slow down damage prediction unlike the
"increase HP to ridiculous levels" method.
The ;choose_level command now works in the tutorial and in [test] scenarios
Fixed a stray ; character appearing pre-entered in the command console.
Fixed bug in wesnothd that was causing server crashes if game with
multiple network and local players was ran.

player opened and closed a menu.
Correct unit recall count in statistics when undoing a unit recall (bug #25060)
Add tip to recall units instead of recruiting them if costs exceed 20 gold (recruitment costs)
Resolve sides in map editor not having a proper side number and subsequently
causing a crash upon editing (bug #25093)
Avoid rare cases of mini-map producing a divide-by-zero error (bug #25155)
[filter_vision]: fix bug of filter not matching own/allied hidden units
Prevent crash on quitting scenario with planned recruits present (bugs #24022/25193)

S2: Highlight (outline) talked-about locations
Legend of Wesmere
S3: fix bug which silently disabled Urudin retreat AI
Reworked the multiplayer server to use asio functions for networking
operations instead of SDL_net, thus it no longer depends on SDL_net and SDL.
The client now uses boost::asio for communication with wesnothd too.
Removed support for SDL 1.2. SDL 2 is now the only supported version.
Terrains
Changed terrain code of Desert Mountains from Mdy to Mdd.
Editor
Allow to set special locations in the editor which can then be read by wml.
User Interface
Fix flickering caused by tooltips, closing windows and tabbing into the game (bug #24532)
Various design improvements to GUI2 widgets
New simpler GUI2 loading screen
New colored cursor graphics
Fixed Mage of Light halo appearing in the top-left corner of the screen
while the mage is moving (bug #23712).

horizontal UI resolutions < 1024 (bug #24455).
Fixed ToD schedule progress indicator appearing behind other top bar items
on vertical UI resolutions < 600.
Improved the dialog for choosing what to do when a player leaves in
multiplayer.
The side overview now also shows allied human sides in sp even if
they aren't discovered yet
Added an option to disable the loadingscreen animation since it caused
bugs in some configurations.

Fix some issues with [foreach]
Fix some issues with backstab-like weapon specials
Support [effect]times=
Add highlight=yes|no to [scroll_to], [scroll_to_unit], [message]
Defaults to no in the first two cases, yes in the third
If yes, the target hex is outlined.
New ~SCALE_INTO(w,h) IPF which preserves aspect ratio, using bilinear
interpolation scaling.
New ~SCALE_INTO_SHARP(w,h) IPF which preserves aspect ratio, using
nearest neighbor scaling.
Support delayed_variable_substitution= in [on_undo], [on_redo]
Note that this means $unit.x and $unit.y may not reflect the unit's
true location, so using [unstore_unit] on $unit may have unexpected effects.
This applies to $second_unit too. The $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2 variables work fine
though, so in most cases they can be used instead. Anything else in $unit
or $second_unit is also fine.
formula= in SUF can now reference $other_unit via the formula variable "other"
formula= now supported in location, side, and weapon filters
Weapon filters now support number, parry, accuracy, and movement_used
New [has_attack] in standard unit filters; supercedes has_weapon= and
uses full weapon filter.
lua_function=var.member now works in SUF; however, 'var' still needs to
be a global variable.
Added new keys name_generator, male_name_generator and female_name_generator
for the [race] tag to declare a context-free grammar to describe how names
are derived
Modification tags in [modify_unit] now support delayed_variable_substitution
(This means [advancement], [object], and [trait] tags.)
All looping tags now give an error if they contain no [do] tag.
(They may contain multiple [do] tags, however.)
Add [message]image_pos=left|right, which mostly supercedes ~RIGHT()
For [core] authors: New keys for game logo (game_logo, game_logo_background)
AiWML:
Filters within [micro_ai] can now use $this_unit, which was previously
impossible due to the config being prematurely parsed.
Simplified aspect syntax which works for all aspects, present and future:
All aspects with simple values can be specified as key=value
Except attacks, all aspects with complex values have a simple tag form
containing only the aspect value (e.g. [avoid])
All aspects, simple and complex, can be specified using a tag named by
the aspect, whose contents is the same as a corresponding [facet]
The full [aspect] and [facet] syntax also still works
[ai] configs no longer recognize the version= key
ai_algorithm key now selects a preset AI; possible values include
"ai_default_rca", "experimental_ai", and "idle_ai", but custom AIs
defined by eras or modifications with an [ai] tag can also be used
[leader_goal] now automatically sets facet ID for auto_remove
(Only if using simplified syntax; in full syntax, the ID must still be
specified in two places.)
The AI config in the gamestate inspector is now split into multiple
sections according to the type of component.
The following deprecated components have been removed:
recruitment stage (name=ai_default::recruitment)
old recruitment candidate action
(name=ai_default_rca::aspect_recruitment_phase)
old simple move-to-targets candidate action
(name=ai_default_rca::simple_move_and_targeting_phase)
The recruitment aspect has been removed from the engine; however,
"recruitment" is now accepted as a synonym for
"recruitment_instructions". Old code should work without changes.
[goal]name=protect_my_unit
The following experimental components have been removed:
(Most of these were broken or non-functional)
Experimental recruitment candidate action
This worked, but was worse than the default recruitment.
Global fallback candidate action
Akihara recruitment candidate action
Fallback stage (functional but useless)
Strategy Formulation with RCA stage
This worked, but was slow and unmaintained. If a maintainer
steps up, it may be restored later.
Several of the development AIs available in debug mode in the
multiplayer setup menu
The "Strong AI" has been renamed to "Default AI (RCA) with Alternate
Recruiting" and is now only available in debug mode.
Lua components (goals, aspects, stages, and candidate actions)
now support an [args] subtag, which passes any sort of WML data
to the Lua code - this works similarly to [args] in a [lua] tag,
though not quite identically.
Aspect syntax with [aspect] tag has been fully generalized so that
[aspect], [facet], and [default] are all exactly the same in terms of
what contents they expect. (Except that [facet] additionally takes
turns= and time_of_day=.) The most useful consequences of this:
You can nest a [facet] inside another [facet] if the outer one has
name=composite_aspect
You can define a [facet] with the Lua engine
invalidate_on_tod_change= has been implemented for aspects. It applies
when the bonus resulting from time of day modifiers (excluding any
illumination abilities) changes at any location on the map. Thus, it
occurs on average less often than invalidate_on_turn_start and may
be best combined with an explicit invalidate_on_turn_start=no.
Minor shorthands have been introduced in the recruitment_instructions
aspect:
[pattern] tag is like [recruit] with pattern=yes
[total] tag is like [recruit] with total=yes
If no [recruit] tag is present, a default is added with importance=0.
This means recruitment will happen even with only [limit] tags.
Extensions to [modify_ai]:
[modify_ai]action=change works on aspects, using path=aspect[id].
Useful if you need to change all the facets at once, but note that
it also wipes the [default] facet.
The [default] facet can be referenced as facet[default_facet].
This should rarely be needed, but is there in case it is.
It also makes them easily identifiable in the inspector.
Automatically copy over the id= with action=change, if the
new component did not specify one.
It can add, remove, and change jobs and limits in the
recruitment_instructions aspect. The path to use for this is
aspect[recruitment_instructions].facet[facet_id].recruit[recruit_id].
(For a limit, replace "recruit" with "limit".)
The [recruit] and [limit] tags now support id keys for this.
Added side_name= attribute in [side], it's now no longer possible to
specify the current_player attribute in the [side] wml.
unit filters, specially in wesnoth.get_units now have a limit= attribute
to limit the number or matched units.
Added new attribute "registered_users_only" to MultiplayerServerWML which indicates
that only registered users should be allowed to join the game
wesnoth now does a stricter check for unit type ids.
In multiplayer, victory events now fire at the end of the scenario if at least one
human player has won, this fixes OOS in mp campaigns.
Lua API
wesnoth.match_unit can now take a location (rather than a unit) as
the optional third parameter. This will cause the filter to consider
the unit to be on that location instead of its actual location.
This even works for units on a recall list.
wesnoth.highlight_hex is no longer deprecated, but its effect is
slightly different from the old one. It outlines a hex, nothing more.
wesnoth.select_hex is now deprecated in favour of the new
wesnoth.select_unit (or u:select). The effect is almost the same
(with the exception that it does not outline the hex if true is
passed as the second argument), but this name change was done to
emphasize that it acts on a unit, more than a location.
New wesnoth.set_time_of_day function which sets the current time
of day, taken either as the time ID (eg "second_watch") or the index
of the time in the overall schedule (eg, 1 would be dawn in the default
schedule). Optional second argument takes a time area ID, to set
local instead of global time.
New wesnoth.add_fog and wesnoth.remove_fog functions allow changing fog
on the map. The [lift_fog] and [clear_fog] tags now use this.
New wesnoth.add_sound_source, wesnoth.remove_sound_source, and
wesnoth.get_sound_source functions to allow manipulation of sound
sources. The [sound_source] and [remove_sound_source] now use these.
New wesnoth.log function for printing log messages. The [wml_message]
and [deprecated_message] tags now use this.
New wesnoth.name_generator function builds a name generator and returns
it as a callable userdata. Both the original Markov chain generator
and the new context free grammar generator are supported
New wesnoth.get_end_level_data() function which can be called in a
victory, defeat, or scenario_end event to access (or change) how
the scenario ends.
Fix wesnoth.erase_unit failing if the unit was on a recall list.
WML tables defined in Lua now accept string keys with array values
(where "array" is a table whose keys are all integers). This joins
the elements of the array with commas and produces a single string
value. eg {x = {1,2,3}} is equivalent to {x = "1,2,3"}.
wesnoth.effects table can now be used to alter the behaviour of
built-in effects - for example, to add a new feature to
[effect]apply_to=attack. It also now supports effect descriptions,
for use by the [trait] tag.
Additional fields in unit proxy:
usage, cost - self-explanatory
traits - list of the IDs of all traits
abilities - list of the IDs of all abilities
Additional fields in table returned by wesnoth.get_terrain_info:
icon, editor_image, light
Additional fields in unit type proxy:
race, id, alignment
attacks, which returns the same thing as unit.attacks
abilities, same as unit.abilities
Additional field in side proxy:
faction (read-only), faction_name (read-only)
LuaAI:
The table returned by check_*() now has a "result" field which
gives a description of the action's result; similar to "status"
but more descriptive.
Target tables now use a descriptive name for "type", instead of
an integer. This applies to the elements of the table returned by
ai.get_targets() and also to the elements of tables returned by
Lua goals. (However, Lua goals that used integers will continue
to work for now.)
There are some compatibility-breaking changes to Lua candidate
actions - see the release notes or the wiki for full details.
Lua AI code can now access the AI routines through the global ai
object. This object is only accessible to AI code; it does not exist
in the general Lua global scope.
When executing Lua goals, aspects, or candidate action evaluations,
the ai is in "read-only" mode - the read_only key is set to true,
and functions that change the gamestate, such as ai.attack(), are
missing from the table. (ai.check_*() functions are still present.)
The ai.aspects table provides access to every aspect known by the
engine, including several that previously did not have corresponding
ai.get_*() functions. You access them as ai.aspects.avoid, for example.
The table is read-only and raises an error if you attempt to write to it.
The way to create Lua candidate actions has changed a little. Old code
will require minor changes.
New wesnoth.micro_ais table contains the loaders for all Micro AIs.
New loaders can easily be installed by add-ons. See any built-in
micro AI (in ai/micro_ais/mai-defs/) for an example of how to do this.
The attacks aspect can now be defined as a Lua aspect. The code
should return a table with keys "own" and "enemy", each of which may
be either a unit filter table or a function which takes a unit as a
parameter and returns true or false.
Added "Registered users only" checkbox to multiplayer configuration dialog which
when checked, only allows registered users to join the game
Wesnoth formula engine
Formulas in unit filters can now access nearly all unit attributes
The following attributes were renamed (old names still work, for now):
leader -> canrecruit
total_movement -> max_moves
movement_left -> moves
states -> status
Nearly all unit type, side, weapon, and terrain attributes available
to Lua code are now also exposed to WFL. The exceptions are mainly
translatable strings.
Unit and side WML variables are now accessible under "wml_vars".
Since WML variables don't easily translate to formula variables, the
special attributes __all_children, __children, and __attributes provide
specialized views of the variables config as a list, string-list map,
and string-value map, respectively.
The 'special' attribute of weapons was renamed to 'specials', and it now
contains the special IDs rather than their translateable names.
New syntax features:
String interpolation syntax. Within a formula string (enclosed in
'single quotes'), the syntax [some_formula] interpolates the result
of the inner formula into the string. (The simplest use case is
interpolating the values of variables.)
String can now escape special characters:
['] single quote, [(] open square bracket, [)] close square bracket
New 'in' operator which tests if a list contains an item or if a map
contains a key.
New concatenation operator a..b which works on strings and lists
New range operator ab which produces a list of consecutive integers
This can also be used for "list slicing" - eg my_list[35] returns
a new list containing elements 3 through 5 of my_list.
Lists can be used as an index for a list. This is "selection indexing"
and returns a new list with only the elements specified by the indexing
list.
Function definitions (using the def keyword) are now supported in all
formula contexts, which means that they can be used outside FormulaAI.
However, non-FormulaAI functions are currently local to the formula
that declares them.
Maps containing string keys that are valid identifiers can now be
indexed with the dot operator instead of the indexing operator.
Strings can now be indexed via 'string'.char[n]. Also supported are
'string'.word[n] and 'string'.item[n] (the latter splits on commas)
Changes to core functions:
head() takes an optional argument - if present, a sublist is returned.
abs(), max(), min() now work on decimal numbers
reduce() function can specify an optional initial accumulator
This will be returned for an empty list instead of null.
substring() function can now accept a negative size parameter
This counts backwards from the specified offset
A size of -1 is the same as 1.
if() can take two arguments; returns null if the condition is false
tomap() will now invert the effect of tolist()
debug_print() now shows in chat area if debug mode is on
New core functions:
Trig functions tan, acos, asin, atan have been added. (Sin and cos
existed since at least 1.9 but were undocumented until very recently.)
Other common math functions - root(), sqrt(), cbrt(), log(), exp()
hypot(x,y) function calculates sqrt(xx+yy) with minimal error
pi() returning the circle ratio
tail() - opposite of head()
reverse() function for strings and lists
zip() function - converts [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]] to [[1,4],[2,5],[3,6]]
take_while() function returns items from a list until the first one
that fails a condition
find_string() locates a substring within a string
replace() replaces a sequence within a string
type() function checks the type of a formula result
distance_between() - this was promoted from FormulaAI to core
pair() function that produces a key-value pair suitable for
passing to tomap() - this also means key-value pairs are now
serializable (relevant in FormulaAI)
sgn(), trunc() and frac() functions for decimal numbers
Map generator engine:
makes now use of the new context free grammar name generator
ported name generation from english.cfg to [naming]
Bugfixes:
Dice operator is now synced (where possible)
Modulus (%) operator now works on decimal numbers
Exponentiation (^) operator is now right-associative
Fix several math operations returning a very large negative number when
the operation was invalid (for example, (-2) ^ 0.5).
Now they return null instead.
Formula debugger (accessed with the debug() function):
Now works again, but is skipped unless in debug mode
No longer explodes on formulas using less-than
Some better information and formatting in the execution trace
You can now step through "where" variable assignments
FormulaAI no longer starts recruiting if a formula evaluates to the
string 'recruit'.
Deprecated:
The fai/faiend keywords are deprecated as part of a move to clearly
define the difference between "Wesnoth Formula Language", the language,
and "FormulaAI", the AI engine that uses the language. For now they
still work, but any future code should use wfl/wflend instead.
Use of the .fai file extension is still fine for FormulaAI code;
for other formula code in a separate file, .wfl is recommended instead.
Miscellaneous and bug fixes
Resolve translated logo images not being used (bug #24357)
Ported the "hexometer" tool from Bash to Python 3
Recognize hotkey release events
Allow changing keybindings for scrolling the map.
Fix the move-to-targets candidate action of the default AI ignoring tunnels
Fix two rare bugs in the goto candidate action that resulted in goto moves
by other units being skipped after a unit could not get to its goal.

filter (In weapon specials and unit abilities, the unit owning the
ability.)
[filter_self/opponent/attacker/defender] (weapon specials)
$other_unit refers to the other unit in the attack
(eg in [filter_self], it's the opponent)

Miscellaneous and bug fixes
Fix $this_unit auto-stored variable not working correctly in most SUFs
Made Documents\My Games\WesnothX.Y the default user config+data dir on
Windows to replace the broken \userdata default that
has never been acceptable practice. Portable installs are now required to
explicitly use . or .. (e.g. --config-dir .\userdata) to force the
user config+data dir path to be relative to the current working dir (see
also bug #23753).
Wesnoth now uses combined stdout+stderr log files on Windows, moved to
\logs during initialization and first created in the user's
temporary files directory defined by Windows. Log files are named like
"wesnoth--.log" and up to 8 log files are kept along with
the latest session's log file. This avoids issues caused by SDL 1.2's
built-in redirection code not being Unicode-aware (fixes bug #22897).
Removed legacy filesystem API implementation.
Fixed Generate Map dialog bug that caused last choice of map
generator to not be actually selected (bug #23711).

Windows now display console output directly instead of using stdout.txt
and stderr.txt.
Remember last selected modifications separately for single and multiplayer.
Fixed unit [resistance] and [jamming_costs] not being considered for sync
check.
Fixed problems with slow/poison/petrify sounds (bug #23024) and made the
sounds play automatically when the status is inflicted in combat, instead
of being played by attack animations.
Fixed OOS on random maps, where clients placed sides in different castles.
Fixed some (not all) OOS caused by modifying a sides controller by wml.
Fixed wml menu items becoming unsynced in later scenarios.
The game now automatically detects whether to show the game connect screen
between scenarios.

WML engine
New image path functions:
~XBRZ(): Takes one argument, the scaling factor (1-5). Uses the xBRZ
scaling algorithm added in this release.
~SCALE_SHARP(): Anologous to ~SCALE() but using the nearest neighbor
scaling algorithm instead.
~PLOT_ALPHA(): No arguments, plots the alpha channel in greyscale.
Mainly useful for diagnostics of other function combinations, or
debugging the engine itself.
~WIPE_ALPHA(): Again mainly useful for diagnostics.
~ADJUST_ALPHA(): Takes either a % or an 8-bit integer, and "multiplies"
the alpha channel by this value.
~SEPIA(): Gives the image a sepia tint.
~NEG(): Gives the image a photographic negative effect.
Added customizable recall costs for unit types and individual units,
using the new recall_cost attribute in [unit_type] and [unit] (bug #13074).

Schema validator and preprocessor #warning messages now conform better to
the new WML parser/preprocessor diagnostics format introduced in version
1.11.10.

allow [lua] tags inside [modification] and [era] (which have the same
effect as [lua] tags inside [scenario]).
enable side_for= in key [message] with [option]s.
added [effect] apply_to=fearless/healthy which is now used by
healthy/fearless traits instead of hardcoding the id of those traits in c++.

between random and non-random music play (bug #19653)
Fixed a bug that prevented [animate_unit] from displaying death or victory
animations for those units that filter them based on weapon (eg. Wose)
New WML tags: [put_to_recall_list] and [sync_variable].
Fixed nested macros emitting incorrect bindings to the default 'wesnoth'
textdomain at the end of a substitution instead of the parent textdomain,
this breaking localization of subsequent strings (bug #22962).
Sounds for slow and poison are automatically played when slowing/poisoning
a unit, and should no longer be played by the attack animations.
force_lock_settings defaults to yes in [scenario].
Moved all preprocessor diagnostics from the 'config' log domain to
'preprocessor'.
Dropped support for [filter_side] in [gold] and [modify_ai], [theme] name=
in place of id, and [object] duration=level.
Allowed direct modification of unit.ellipse variable even if ellipse= is set
in [unit_type] or by an [effect]
Add accelerate=yes/no key in [delay]
Add support for status= key in SUFs
Add "disallow_shuffle" key in [side], which causes the "shuffle sides"
feature always to skip this side, even if it is human playable.
Add "require_scenario" key in [scenario], [multiplayer], which causes a
multiplayer game to require that all participants have the add-on installed.
Miscellaneous and bug fixes
replace 'fight_on_without_leader'=yes/no with defeat_condition=no_leader/
no_units/always/never which allows the wml developer to decide when a side
is considered defeated
Fix Fisher-Yates implementation of Lua helper.shuffle (bug #21706)
Fixed issues with the ~BG() image path function not always working with
cached images.
Idle controlled sides now serialize as human controlled.
Fixed bug #20876: A segfault in cut_surface.
Dropped support for AmigaOS, BeOS, and OS/2.
Increased the sound mixer channel allocation from 16 to 32, thereby
raising the limit for simultaneous sound effects from 5 to 20, and
simultaneous UI sounds from 1 to 2.
Fix bug #21758: "Ready not blocked while player pick faction."
Fix bug #18829: "ai sides show up as "controller=network" on remote
clients". This issue is the source of some difficulties with mp campaigns
which occur when the campaign is reloaded from a non-host side, or after a
player rejoins from observer status. Hopefully, reloading campaigns is
easier after this.
Fix bug #21797: "Mandatory WML child missing" when leaving a reloaded game.
Fix bug #21808: Cannot join a reloaded game as an observer.
Fixed halos glitching through locations that become shrouded after the
halo is rendered for the first time.
OS X user data directory is now ~/Library/Application Support/Wesnoth_1.13.
For compiling Wesnoth using Xcode, a new version of
wesnoth_compile_mac_1.13.zip is also required.
Fix bug #21257: Lagging animations with skip AI animations and fog/shroud.
Improved unicode handling on windows for characters outside the Basic
Multilingual Plane.
Fix bug #3856: The turn dialog used in hotseat MP play now applies
a blindfold for the duration of the dialog.
Petrified units are no longer displayed in the "Damage versus" tooltip.
Fix bug #21759: "timer refreshed too often when time runs out"
Use one combo box instead of check boxes for replay options "skip replay"
and "enter blindfold". This fixes the mp lobby in width <= 800 resolutions.
Fixes bug #21888.
MP server now commits controller changes to the replay rather than updating
as we go along. Among other things these means that players that join an
scenario with ai sides which has already started won't have corrupted
controller types which would prevent them from successfully saving and
reloading in the future.
We have also moved all "controller tweaks" associated to the start of MP
games to server-side rather than having a mix of client and server code.
Fixup user-displayed strings associated to replay options, idle state
OS X: mark Wesnoth as not high-resolution capable. This greatly improves
performance on retina devices.
Upgrade Xcode project to enable both i386 and x86_64 builds
Fixed problems with idle controller type in networked mp.
Fix bug 21459 by making dropped sides default to idle.

unsigned long rather than an unsigned int.
Fix bug #21491: fix drag+drop for unit movements
Fix bug #21448: make premoved units selection like in Wesnoth 1.10
Fix bug #21372: fix unit move continuation if enemy discovered
Added a Python/Tkinter based GUI to allow running wmllint, wmlscope and
wmlindent in an easier way
Some commandline output which was helpful for noninteractive ai testing
is redirected from std::cout to a logdomain "aitesting".
Added WML unit test capabilities, accessible from commandline using -u
switch. These are useful for unit testing the WML / lua api.
Support for total conversions, so called "cores".

Fix bug #21964: assertion failure when using "controller" attribute with
a number.
Add [do_command], which takes the body of a [command] tag from ReplayWML,
(some possibilities not allowed), and executes the corresponding action.
It is replay safe and triggers WML events as appropriate.
Reallow selection of another unit on same side without deselect first
Add "strict mode". Using --log-strict=[severity] causes wesnoth to throw
a game_error exception when anything is written to a log as severe as
that. For example --log-strict=warning causes both warnings and errors
to generate runtime exceptions. This is intended for unit tests.
Fix bug #21867: team flag colors not refreshed after making use of
[modify_side] color= unless a new flag set is also provided.
Fix a bug where in movement records, "skip_sighted" was sometimes
spelled as "skip_sighed".
Fix bug #22020: make base units with variations help entry clickable
from the 'Unit Description' menu entry or from side pane.
Fix bug #21977: ready blocked on scenario transition, when
allow_new_game=yes
Add "MAKE_ENUM" macro to simplify parsing of WML options.
"MAKE_ENUM" macro signals WML parsing errors when the game is run
in debug mode, and an illegal value for an attribute is encountered.
Fix bug #21397 Reloading may cause a side's turn is not initialized.
This bug affected only networked mp, at least since version 1.8.
[modify_side] may now alter the value of [side] defeat_condition.
Fix bug #22116: unlock movement when attacking enemy+discovering in fog
In mp the other players now also proceed to the next scenario if one human
player wins.
Fix bug #21397: "Saving and loading may cause a side's turn is not
initialized".
Fix bug which caused no units to be displayed when reloading an end of
scenario save, by stripping them from the save file. However, this does
not fix bug #15545, which was the reason that this behavior was introduced.
Fix bug #22123 "Replays don't reset map when reset button is pressed,
causing OOS"
Wesnoth reports an error if it evaluates [if] and finds no [then], [else],
[elseif] children, as a chat message from lua.
Fix bug #22134: Campaign prefix not used in mp campaign saves
Made the error messages sent to stderr when the core data dir is
incorrectly set more helpful.
Fix bug #20126: Recursive preprocessor includes cause infinite loop
Added 'faction_lock' and 'leader_lock' to SideWML to be used in MP Connect
screen. Fixes bug #21978.
Fix bug #22231: partial moves now able to be continued in whiteboard
Added wmi_pager object to control how wml menu items are displayed in
context menus, and allow to display more than seven.
Made it so /../ (non-Windows) or /../
(Windows) are also considered possible data directories if they contain a
data/_main.cfg file, intended to help with cmake builds.
Fix bug #21723: team-specific items displayed to wrong players / at wrong
times
When parsing command line args, if we fail to parse, give an error message
rather than crashing with no explanation.
Fix bug #22305: assertion failure in unit_display.cpp
Fix bug #22086: wrong or missing minimap previews displayed b/c of problems
with saveindex
Fixed the SCATTER_UNITS macro so that it may no longer attempt to place
units at the map borders.
Add [has_ally], [has_enemy] to work around issues reported here:

Multiplayer
Fix for bug #21405, in a series of features:
The abort option presented to the host when a player disconnects
from a networked game is now a "save and abort" option.
New Idle controller status: Sides may now be set in an "idle" state
by the host when a player disconnects from a network game. This does
not give any player control or vision. To proceed with the game, the
host must reassign the side's controller using :control, :droid, or
:give_control as usual. (give_control existed but was not documented)
Related to this, there are new commands :controller which query the
controller status, and :idle which toggles the idle status.
New "Blindfold Replays" option: Observers may check a box in the
lobby so that if they join a game, they will be "blindfolded" and see
only a black screen until they are given control of a side.
Units
New baseframes for Jundi, Muharib, Batal, Qatif-al-nar, Qudafi, Rasikh.

screenshot was successfully saved to disk, including options to open it
in an external application, copy the path to clipboard, or browse the
screenshots folder.

Added descriptions to the options in Preferences -> Display -> Themes.
New sound played to signal the start of an MP game.
WML engine
WML loading phase errors are reported to stderr in a new indented format.

condition that always yields true or false, respectively.
Fixed: Disallow change and remove sections without an id in the ThemeWML.
Added [theme] description attribute for including a description of the
theme that will be displayed in Preferences.
[theme] name attribute is now expected to be translatable and used only
for the theme selection UI. Existing [theme]s need to be converted to
have a separate 'id' attribute.
[endlevel] now has two optional subtags [next_scenario_settings],
[next_scenario_append], which can be used to reconfigure next scenario.
Optimizations made to the game events engine. Slower machines may notice
an improvement during movement (when enter/exit_hex events are triggered).
The optimization is more effective when relatively few events have variables
in their names.
Miscellaneous and bug fixes
Fixed: A compilation warning with DEBUG_WINDOW_LAYOUT_GRAPHS.
Added -Wold-style-cast to the CMake strict flags.
Made sure that cmake does not add -NDEBUG for release builds since this
flag breaks building.
Updated screenshots used inside the ingame help and fixed description of
orbs.
Fixed bug #21659: lua location_set:empty now works as described
Users now get a warning if they start a multiplayer scenario through the
title screen load button, as this may cause eras and modifications not
to work correctly in subsequent scenarios of an mp campaign.
wmllint can now update base terrain aliases in UMC after the changes in
versions 1.11.8 and 1.11.9. This conversion is applied to the aliasof,
mvt_alias, and def_alias attributes under the [terrain_type] tag.
Parser warnings when skipping over Unicode BOMs are now printed in stderr
with the file location and substitution trail when available.
Version 1.11.9

situations where the listbox is wider than the Preferences dialog frame
(bug #19482).

Table regardless of whether the side's leader unit supports team color.
Miscellaneous and bug fixes

Fixed several Doxygen issues found by Clang 3.4.
Fixed possible invalid memory access issue in the MP sides configuration

it.
Redesigned Add-ons Description dialog, including support for displaying
add-on feedback page URLs.
Add-ons server
Fixed mishandling of inaccessible add-on packs resulting in multiple data
conversion errors and stalling clients (bug #20893).

non-attribute lines to local_sanity_check, added unknown speaker check.
Refactored code in wmltools to create a macro-parsing function.

value on some platforms.
The color_adjust_blue_ attribute in [display] tags of saved games has
been renamed to color_adjust_blue. Since it is only non-zero following a
[color_adjust] action in a WML event, only mid-scenario saved games
created with previous versions may present minor color issues after this
change.
Fixed sound sources removed while the sound effects volume is zero
(either in Preferences -> Sound or through the [volume] WML action)
persisting and escaping the sound source management code (bug #21426).

Experimental AI:
Added new CAs Retreat, Move to Enemy and Village Hunting
Algorithm improvements for several CAs

other controller for a side. However, if "controller" was set to "human",
it will still be possible to assign any player, local, network or
reserved (if applicable) controller.
All multiplayer locks in SideWML (e.g. "team_lock"), now uses
"force_lock_settings" as their default value.

and limited the number of simultaneous enemy gryphon recruits on the
easiest difficulty.
The South Guard
Rewrote 'The Long March'.
Made each turn past turn 6 that passes in 'Pebbles in the Flood' give
you some concrete benefit in 'Tides of War'. Also, the Council of Westin

allow variable substitution in event names
allow spaces or underscores to be used interchangeably in event names
In event attack filters ([filter_attack] and [filter_second_attack]),
weapon= attribute has been deprecated in favour of AnimationWML-like
attack filtering, which allows to filter damage type, range and weapon
specials. Backwards compatibility with weapon= will be removed in 1.5.5.
As a consequence, [fire_event] has had [primary_unit] weapon= and
[secondary_unit] weapon= deprecated too; use [primary_attack] and
[secondary_attack] blocks instead.

Renamed the advanceto key in [unit_type] to advances_to in order to be
consistent with its own and [unit]'s internals.

Music and sound effects
Engine automatically plays special music on defeat or victory; default
lists from which an option is randomly chosen at runtime are provided as
the default_victory_music and default_defeat_music attributes in
[game_config] node; this may be overriden per-scenario using the
victory_music and/or defeat_music attributes on its code - it can also
be overriden in a [endlevel] block by providing a music= attribute with
the desired list (feature request #11203).
Python AI
Added ai_init.py and ai_launcher.py to make it easier to customize
AI environment and startup. Both are used by the new embedded python
implementation.
reversed builtin is now allowed. This allows for random.shuffle to be
called.
Terrains
Added a new attribute, hidden= (default: no), to [terrain],
which prevents the map editor from offering the user a particular
tile type for drawing.
Made user-made content graphic rules be parsed before core ones, so
custom tiles look the same in-game as they do in the editor.
Set hidden=yes on main terrain archetypes (Gt, Qt, At, Xt).
User interface
Added an experimental add-ons update interface.
Added initial drag&drop support for button widgets

Extended [modify_turns] to allow scenario designers to change the
current-turn number dynamically with current=.
It is now possible to use [time_area] to add or remove new local ToD
areas and their schedules during scenario events. Removal requires to
associate an id. to [time_area]s, or it won't work. Uses Standard
Location Filter to match locations.
Miscellaneous and bug fixes
Add some gcc-4.3.0 compilation fixes (patch #1083)
Added a MSVC 9 project file and some fixes for that compiler (patch #1093)
Add-on uploads by default will skip all dot-files (.*), which are hidden
files or directories in UNIX filesystems.
Downloaded add-ons' meta information is stored in /_info.cfg
rather than /info.cfg now; both the in-game client and the
wesnoth_addon_manager Python script have been updated for this.

sometimes caused to see a enemy pass through your invisible units (or in
their ZoC). Now all players see the same real path. Also valid for replay.
When joining a game, display your assigned starting position and the new
team coloring also shows your assigned color.

decreased the 'orcishfoot' movement cost over frozen from 3 to 2
user interface
Rewrote the textbox history saving of the new widget library. This rewrite
is incompatible with the old version, but since the library is still in
development, no compatibility layer has been added.
Added gui to choose where server binary is
Added type-a-head search to file chooser dialog
Add a column for traits in the recall dialog.
Add a filter textbox in the recall dialog.
When filtering units, clear the unit preview when none matches.
Delete/dismiss the last item of a dialog stop closing it
Tooltip texts now support blank lines and special markup characters
Add-on publish/delete options have now special icons and colors.
Display the name of the add-on in the "Add-on installed" dialog
The unknown unit icon used in status table is now team colored
In multiplayer lobby, all unit's images are now team colored.
In help, with debug mode, broken hyperlinks are now visible in red and
when clicked open a error message showing the bad topic reference.
new debug command ":choose_level" or ":cl" to directly go to a scenario.
new debug command feature, ":next_level Some_Id" to directly go to
scenario having id=Some_Id.
'Create Unit' dialog pre-select the last created unit type
Fix incorrect downloaded add-on when using filter
Fix missing last publish/delete add-on option
Fix few broken hyperlinks in help (and some were working in english only)
Fix a regression about not working 'unit description' with hide_help=yes
Python AI
get_variable now allows a default value to be passed to the call. If the
key is not found, the default value is returned. This is fully backward
compatible.
set_variable exception handling has been fixed to return an exception in
the current call frame.
Many wesnoth module functions now release the python GIL when it is both
safe to do so and the function call takes long enough where it also
makes sense. More changes coming.
A new global boolean variable, 'restricted' is now set before the user AI
script is invoked. This variable indicates if it is running inside of
a restricted python environment or not.
A new class of unrestricted scripts are now listed. Previously only
scripts which have #!WPY at the top are allowed. If only allow safe python
scripts is disabled, scripts which start with #!UNSAFE_WPY are also shown
to users. This allows AI authors to specifically target either a
restricted or unrestricted environment.
New "system" class attributes are exposed in the restricted environment.
These include; 'call', 'copy', 'deepcopy', 'name',
'repr' and 'str', in addition to the old init method.
ValueError can now be caught.
Added a new AI, bruteforce_unsafe.py, which uses both function caching
(memoize pattern) and psyco to speed execution. It uses the new UNSAFE_WPY
tag and is not selectable unless "Only Run Safe Python AIs" is disabled.
This version of bruteforce runs 1x-14x FASTER than the stock python AI;
heavily dependent on the map and number of units involved.
Per the python API documentation, many functions now return boolean values
rather than ints. Minor modernization effort to use new C-API macros
provided via python 2.4+. This change is fully backward compatible for
scripts which properly treat the return value as a boolean.
Initial wail directory checkin. It's only a teaser at this point. ;)
bruteforce_wail.py has been added - showing how easy it is to move a
well written bot from the wesnoth module to the wail module.
WML engine
When examining stored units, now the attacks, max_hitpoints, max_moves,
and max_experience are the "real" values and can also be modified.
new attribute count= for [have_unit] and [have_location] conditionals
new mode "insert" for [set_variables]
max_attacks in [unit] now also works for values bigger than 1
the "zoc" key works for [unit_type] too, and for [unit] accepts other
boolean values than 1 and 0 (bug #11889).
new effect apply_to=type to transform the unit to a different type
preserve unit.role in next scenario (bugs #3697, #4124, and #11329)
fix various problems with [set_variables] (bugs #11980 and #11981)
Add a new key "image" in [faction], used as icon in faction selection.
The old hack consisting to add the image's url in the faction's name is
still supported but doesn't have the new team coloring.
miscellaneous and bug fixes
Fixed droiding not to make wesnoth think player is observer (bug: #9675)
Fixed statitics not add turn data from previus scenarios (bug: #11719)
Fixed manager to initialize before gamestate in playcontroller (bug: 11935)
Removed persistance from team configuration (bug: #10916)
Fixed text parser again strip cr from configs. Added CR and 254 to be
escaped in campaign upload. All UMC has to be reuploaded to server
Made automaticaly generated macro reference easier to naviagate and link to
(patch: #1076)
Allow [unit_type] num_traits=0 to override race's num_traits.
Small optimization of scrolling and things out of their hexes.
Added a command-line parameters "--smallgui" to allow lower resolutions.
Missing images are now replaced by a "men-at-work" sign (in debug-mode)
Better pathfinding: now always prefer straight path and is also more
stable between little mouse's moves.
Added the pango cairo dependency

ArithmeticError, AssertionError, AttributeError, BaseException,
StopIteration, IndexError, KeyError, NameError, RuntimeError,
RuntimeWarning, and ZeroDivisionError

terrains
Fixed city village not being alias of the village terrain type; this was

Reorganisation of the terrain macros including more consistent image
naming. The old macros are kept for now for compatibility.
New terrain: cave path
Fixed a ToD coloring bug preventing to use red channel below 8 (on 255)

a command to this hotkey. Also accept sequence of commands ("this; that").
Add a command "alias [=]". To set or show shorter alias to
a command. Also accept incomplete command and pass parameters (ex: "alias
hp=unit hitpoints", then use "hp 100"). Saved between sessions.
Add a filter text box for the "Create Unit" dialog
Various improvements of filter text box, now words separated by space give
a filter doing an "and" combination of them.
Added "Host Network Game" option back to multiplayer menu
Fixed chatlog not to so lobby joins if set in preferences
Also highlight the fog under the mouse (not just the terrain)

The class of each add-on is displayed in the downloads dialog
It is possible to filter what add-ons are displayed by text (matching
against any of the information fields)
Advanced prefences allows user to toggle allowing potentially unsafe python AIs
