      • Added two new aspects for customizing the retreat behavior: retreat_factor and retreat_enemy_weight

      • Miscellaneous other improvements to the internal rating function

    • Unit advancement that happens on an enemy's turn in online multiplayer games are no longer randomized. Instead, the first advancement listed for the unit is always used.

    • Added the wesnoth.as_text(...) function as a way to more easily view the contents of a lua table. This is intended as a debugging aid and nothing more.
    • Deprecation warnings can now be viewed in the in-game Lua console, together with a stack trace to the first location that triggered them.
