Lua API
Pathfinding functions are now in a new wesnoth.paths module.
Pathfinding in map generation now takes an options table as the third argument.
New sync module that contains functions for multiplayer synchronization
In particular, wesnoth.synchronize_choice is now wesnoth.sync.evaluate_single
allow_end_turn and end_turn moved to the wesnoth.interface module
wesnoth.message is now wesnoth.interface.add_chat_message
Shroud and fog control are now in the wesnoth.sides module
Shroud data strings and the special string "all" are no longer supported by place_shroud -
only a list of locations is supported
wesnoth.map.parse_bitmap transforms a shroud data string into a list of locations
wesnoth.map.make_bitmap builds a shroud data string from a list of locations
There are now two different ways of altering shroud: place_shroud merges with existing shroud,
while override_shroud replaces the entire shroud with the new value.
New schedule module for working with schedules and time areas
wesnoth.map.get_time_area now returns the area's schedule object
The global scenario schedule is available as wesnoth.current.schedule
wesnoth.get_time_of_day is split into wesnoth.schedule.get_time_of_day (ignoring illumination)
and wesnoth.get_illumination (which considers illumination). Both functions now take the location
as the first argument.
wesnoth.get_max_liminal_bonus() is now wesnoth.current.schedule.liminal_bonus
wesnoth.replace_schedule is now wesnoth.schedule.replace
wesnoth.end_level() and wesnoth.get_end_level_data() are now removed - instead, there's
an end_level_data field in wesnoth.scenario.that serves both purposes.
wesnoth.get_traits() is now wesnoth.game_config.global_traits
wesnoth.teleport moved to the units module

Revised statistics of all animal horses, Bay Horse can now level into Great Horse
Wesnoth Formula Language
The use of "side" on units and "owner" on terrain objects is now deprecated.
Instead, you should use "side_number" or "owner_side", respectively.
The old key returns 0 for side 1 and so on, so the new key is preferred.
A unit object now has a "terrain" key that returns the terrain object the unit is standing on.
Add new functions tod_bonus() and base_tod_bonus() to get the bonus on a specific location
WML Engine
add 'unslowable' and 'unpetrifiable' status to immune to slow or petrifies
Schema validation now checks whether string values are translatable or not, according to what the
schema specifies.
Fix schema validation rejecting Lua AI goals
Unit special notes are now read directly from weapon specials, abilities, and a few other places, meaning
the [special_note] tag is usually not required in [unit] or [unit_type].
A warning is now displayed when the next scenario is unknown (issue #5530).
