    • The dependencies= attribute and the [feedback] tag in .pbl files are now properly supported (bug #21189).
    • Generated _info.cfg files now contain the same information as the game's built-in client (type and title were missing). ### AI

  • Fixed problems with several Micro AIs that sometimes produced OOS errors ### Campaigns
  • Eastern Invasion:
    • New world map.
    • Rewrote scenario 'Training the Ogres' and renamed it to 'Capturing the Ogres'.
    • Rewrote scenario 'Captured'.
  • Heir to the Throne:

    • S15 (The Lost General): fix bug of sighted events firing too early
  • Legend of Wesmere:
    • Fixed missing journey map background in story screens.
  • Liberty:
    • Updated sprites for Shadow Mage line.

    • Updated animation WML of all campaign specific units
      • Editor:
      • Fixed: Drawing the offmap area for small resolutions. ### GUI2
  • Added: FAI-function handling in GUI2 widgets.
  • Added: A new tooltip window. ### Language and i18n
  • Updated translations: Scottish Gaelic ### Lua API
  • Config of current era is now available in a Lua table in MP games
  • Config of any era can be requested by id, also a list valid era ids ### Multiplayer
  • Fix for bug #21405, in a series of features:
    • The abort option presented to the host when a player disconnects from a networked game is now a "save and abort" option.
    • New Idle controller status: Sides may now be set in an "idle" state by the host when a player disconnects from a network game. This does not give any player control or vision. To proceed with the game, the host must reassign the side's controller using :control, :droid, or :give_control as usual. (give_control existed but was not documented) Related to this, there are new commands :controller which query the controller status, and :idle which toggles the idle status.
    • New "Blindfold Replays" option: Observers may check a box in the lobby so that if they join a game, they will be "blindfolded" and see only a black screen until they are given control of a side. ### Units
  • New baseframes for Jundi, Muharib, Batal, Qatif-al-nar, Qudafi, Rasikh. ### User interface
  • New UI for displaying errors detected during the core and add-on WML loading process (parser and preprocessor errors), including the ability to copy the report to clipboard.
  • New UI for displaying the notification that a screenshot or map screenshot was successfully saved to disk, including options to open it in an external application, copy the path to clipboard, or browse the screenshots folder.
  • Force grayscale antialiasing for text rendered using Cairo/Pango (e.g. by GUI2) on Windows to work around ClearType-induced glitches (bug #21648).
  • Fixed bug #21584: Properly redraw the minimap when the minimap is resized.
  • Fixed: Enable blurring in the title screen.
  • Added descriptions to the options in Preferences -> Display -> Themes.
  • New sound played to signal the start of an MP game. ### WML engine
  • WML loading phase errors are reported to stderr in a new indented format.
  • Implemented [true] and [false] ConditionalWML tags, which describe a condition that always yields true or false, respectively.
  • Fixed: Disallow change and remove sections without an id in the ThemeWML.
  • Added [theme] description attribute for including a description of the theme that will be displayed in Preferences.
  • [theme] name attribute is now expected to be translatable and used only for the theme selection UI. Existing [theme]s need to be converted to have a separate 'id' attribute.
  • [endlevel] now has two optional subtags [next_scenario_settings], [next_scenario_append], which can be used to reconfigure next scenario.
  • Optimizations made to the game events engine. Slower machines may notice an improvement during movement (when enter/exit_hex events are triggered). The optimization is more effective when relatively few events have variables in their names. ### Miscellaneous and bug fixes
  • Fixed: A compilation warning with DEBUG_WINDOW_LAYOUT_GRAPHS.
  • Added -Wold-style-cast to the CMake strict flags.

  • Parser warnings when skipping over Unicode BOMs are now printed in stderr with the file location and substitution trail when available.

  • Fixed sound sources removed while the sound effects volume is zero (either in Preferences -> Sound or through the [volume] WML action) persisting and escaping the sound source management code (bug #21426).
