    • 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 ### Multiplayer

    • 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).
    • Changed the default duration for [print] to 5000 milliseconds, and added support for duration=unlimited (PR #5868). ### Miscellaneous and Bug Fixes
