    • Dark Forecast: Fixed broken faction and leader selection.

    • File paths are now case sensitive even on Windows.
    • [show_if] is now usable in the [objectives] subtag [gold_carryover].
    • Macro SCEPTRE_OF_FIRE_EFFECT damage increased to 15x4 so Sceptre is an improvement over the uncut ruby of fire (14x4) in TRoW.
    • Added [lua] as a conditional tag, with identical syntax. The code in such a tag must return a true or false value.
    • Lua errors now cause as a condition to fail instead of pass.
    • New formula= key in [set_variable] allows evaluating a WFL formula with the variable, which may be either a scalar or a container.
    • A missing [event] name= key will now raise a WML error instead of being silently ignored.

    • Fix an issue where the implementation of the hashing function used for add-on passphrases was changed since 1.13.8, breaking existing hashes (bug #2068). ### Campaigns
