- new tag [insert_tag] to place dynamic WML content
- Extended most C++ checks for boolean WML attributes to use utils::string_bool() rather than true/false or yes/no string comparisons; as a result, they should accept true non-zero values, "on", "yes" or "true" strings; and "0", "off", "no" or "false" are considered false values.
- A variable string's length can now be obtained with [set_variable] string_length=
- Implemented [variable] boolean_not_equals= for simmetry with [variable] boolean_equals=

- [modify_side] can set AI parameters now, using the [ai] syntax implemented for [side] declarations (patch #984)
- allow 100% defense instead of cutting off at 99%, if out of range set to 100% instead of 50 (debian bug #467253)

- In SingleUnitWML and SideWML, the generate_description= attribute is now generate_name=. generate_description= will still be accepted for backwards compatibility. wmllint can safely do this up-conversion.
- In UnitWML, the unit_description= attribute is now description=. unit_description= will still be accepted for backwards compatibility. wmllint can safely do this up-conversion.

- In AnimationWML, the [unit_filter] tag is now [filter], the [secondary_unit_filter] tag is now [filter_second], and the [attack_filter] tag is now [filter_attack], and the [secondary_attack_filter] tag is now [filter_second_attack]
- In EventWML, the [special_filter] tag is now [filter_attack] and the [special_filter_second] tag is now [filter_second_attack]
- In the Standard Unit Filter, the [wml_filter] tag is now [filter_wml]

- added the sdl-ttf dependency

- allow configure to be started from directories other as the top dir (patch #1002)
- added -Werror -Wno-unused -Wno-sign-compare to the default compiler flags, can be disabled with --disable-strict-compilation.

- various bug fixes and code cleanups
- added gzip and gunzip command line parameters
- replaced the 'Binary Saves' option with 'Compressed Saves' and now writes gzip files
- added a "ping_timeout" preference to allow adjusting the default timeout value ('60') from the preferences file
- rewrote the network code to also receive gzipped data:
- The clients send gzipped data to the MP server.
- The MP server can send gzipped data depending on a hidden parameter which is off by default.
- The campaign server sends and receives binary_wml.
- fixed a crash when the attacker dies while performing a desparate attack. The crash seemed only to happen under Windows but valgrind also complained (bug #10496)
- loading a content with invalid wml does not terminate the game
- increased the precission off the mouse in the top row of the editor (closes bug #10219)
- Fixed code to filter sent items when undoing (bug #10588, needs testing)
- Avoid an assertion failure triggered in the replays
- speed-up the cache validation by skipping directories named "images" and "sounds", WML authors must avoid to put cfg files there (or manually refresh their cache if they really want to place and edit cfg files there)
- using "next-unit" on the last unit now triggers the selection effect each time (instead of half the times)
- fix some latency for clearing fogged corners on shrouded maps
- optimization of the pathfinding and unit loading
- avoid deferring null pointers in the multiplayer lobby
