An option to use this alternative recruiting will be provided in the future. * Previous default AI CA removed: retreat phase * The previous default CA is still available by using [ai]ai_algorithm=ai_default_rca_1_14 or by selecting "1.14 Default AI" in the multiplayer computer player selection menu * The Experimental AI is now only available in debug mode (in MP) as it is mostly identical to the new default AI * Many improvement were made to the new default CAs, to make them work correctly and consistently in general settings, such a taken AI aspects (aggression, attacks, [avoid], caution, ...) and unit guardian status into account, improved attack ratings and multi-leader functionality, and bug fixes

• 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)

• 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

• Added an option to disable the loadingscreen animation since it caused bugs in some configurations.
• Added a gui method to activate loggers (Preferences -> Advanced -> Logging) loggers activated in the gui print just like loggers activated in the command line (i.e. messages appear in the console)
• The Lua console screen now has a clear button
• Fix bug #24762: Editor actions are out of sync after resizing.
• Increased the font size for text in buttons.

WML engine

• Add color= attribute to [message].
• Add [else], search_recall_list=, auto_recall= to [role]
• 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)
  • number_of_possible_recruits_to_force_recruit aspect
  • recruitment_ignore_bad_combat aspect
  • recruitment_ignore_bad_movement aspect
  • 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 wesnoth.game_events.on_mouse_move/on_mouse_actions callbacks (fr #22635)
• Added wesnoth.special_locations
• [lua] tags now also support the [args] subtag outside events.
• added lua_function= attribute in location filters
• Added on_event.lua which is an eaiser to use wrapper for wesnoth.game_events.on_event

Multiplayer

• Hornshark Island: simplified multiplayer faction determination
• 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.

• Hanging, stone chasm, and plank bridges are now displayed in-game simply as "Bridge", retaining their descriptive names in the editor as per convention.
• Fixed spurious "could not open image 'terrain/.png'" error messages caused by terrains without a minimap image (symbol_image) such as those from the Special category in the editor (Impassable Overlay, etc.).

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.

• 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).

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.

• 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++.
• added support for a shuffle key in the [music] music to allow selecting 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

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.

• 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.
• Fix bug 21882 by introducing "fight_on_without_leader" boolean attribute of [side] tags and refactoring check_victory to use this.

• 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
• remove redundant unit.value (use unit.cost instead)
• 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.

WML engine

• new key store_location_as= to store generated chamber item locations

• Instead of having an empty upkeep type as the default when reading a config file being used to normally give leaders a 0 upkeep, now leaders (canrecruit=1) are specifically exempted from upkeep and the upkeep type defaults to "full" when read from config files the same as for using the recruit function. This makes documenting how upkeep works simpler (it currently wasn't really correct) without having to make leaders loyal. It also will work better for campaigns where the leaders change (not that there are any now) so that the current leader is exempted and any exleaders pay for upkeep (unless the are specically marked as loyal).
• make random_traits default to "yes". Leaders can't get random traits yet, because it breaks MP, but it does give campaign units traits by default. It also allows specifying some traits and letting the rest fill in randomly. Some traits are always forced on for units that can get them (undead and mechanical).
• not_living tag removed from race, as this information is provided by the undead and mechanical traits.

• IMPORTANT! End-of-scenario no longer takes you immediately to the next scenario or the lobby. Instead, you linger in browse mode -- menu commands for chat, saving games, etc. are available. Clicking end-of-turn ends the linger and takes you out.
• fixed a bug-cheat allowing super-ranged attack in some special cases (thanks jgp93)
• fixed incorrect displayed reachable zone when moving next to an enemy in special ZoC cases (skirmish or lvl0)
• It seemed it's ambiguous whether the GPL license as supplied by Wesnoth means GPL 2 or GPL 2+, since Sirp's orginal intent was GPL 2+ the license has been changed accordingly. (See https://mail.gna.org/public/wesnoth-dev/2007-07/msg00014.html)
• When advancing from Dark Sorcerer to Lich, you now get the undead trait. The way this is fixed can add random traits if the new unit type allows more traits then the unit currently has. This would cause a problem for multiplayer, but no advancement paths currently have this case. You do get to keep your current traits, even if you wouldn't get them in the new unit type.
• the minimum savegame protection is ignored when either the savegame or the current game has 'test' as version
• Add 2 debug commands: "fps" for showing framerate, and "benchmark" to force a continuous refresh of the screen (for testing the real fps)

miscellaneous and bug fixes

• various code cleanups
• proper handling of description autogeneration for per level [effect] on level 0 units
• changed the order of which the permanent modifications of a unit are evaluated to (amlas, traits, objects) (previous order: objects, traits, amlas)
