      • Left click on a controlled one triggers the move.
    • The recruit and recall commands are restored when right-clicking on a leader, but with new semantics -- only that leader's recruits/recalls will be presented as options.
    • Fog/shroud clearing has been reworked to be more timely and consistent.
    • The statistics window can now show per-scenario statistics.
    • The sidebar now includes specials when reporting a weapon's damage.

    • Added [effect] apply_to=overlay
    • Added [effect] apply_to=experience
    • Added [terrain_type] max_light= and min_light=.
    • Standardize weapon filters, supporting special=, [and], [or], and [not] wherever weapons can be filtered.
    • Image path functions again evaluated left-to-right. Fixes bug #20196.
    • Support for [swarm] causing attacks to increase as health decreases.
    • Inactive names and descriptions for abilities and weapon specials will default to the active name/description if omitted.
    • Fix a bug with [store_time_of_day] so that it treats the provided variable as a container instead of an array (overwrite instead of append).
    • Added [side]suppress_end_turn_confirmation= for those (rather nonstandard) scenarios where players often skip their turns. ### Miscellaneous and bug fixes
