[secondary_unit] weapon= deprecated too; use [primary_attack] and
[secondary_attack] blocks instead.

is automatically stored in the 'weapon' and 'second_weapon' WML

RC(A=B) image path function by using '=' instead of '>' as parameter
separator; this allows simple color replacement that RC(A>B) did not
allow.
* prevent some negative/nonsense values in direct WML unit modifications
* Renamed the advanceto key in [unit_type] to advances_to in order to be
consistent with its own and [unit]'s internals.
* implemented FR #11817: Allow [item]s to be visible only to specified teams
(patch #1100 by Broodkiller)

of a number.
* Fixed [modify_turns] causing weird behavior when used in prestart
or start events to change current turn.
* Made config cache code available to eveverywhere in wesnoth
* Fixed [modify_turns] giving the unwanted side-effect of changing
turn limit when only current= modifier was used.
* Fixed OOS bug when giving control and having move in undo stack.
* Fixed [modify_turns] not updating $turn_number when current= was
used.
* Fixed crash when ai moves units next to level 0 hiden unit (bug #12252)

era values (bug #12171)

when loadin game (bug #10385)
* Fixed can move enemy units (causing OOS) (bug #11205)

triggering of a matching "turn *" event).
* Removed the compiler work arounds for MSVC6.
* Added some more compiler workarounds for MSVC9.
* Removed the --small-gui build option, starting Wesnoth with the
--smallgui parameter achieves the same

the Horatii, 3p Morituri, Blue Water Province, 4p Hamlets, Lagoon,
4p Morituri, The Wilderlands, Waterloo Sunset
* Music and sound effects:
* Engine automatically plays special music on defeat or victory; default
lists from which an option is randomly chosen at runtime are provided as
the default_victory_music and default_defeat_music attributes in
[game_config] node; this may be overriden per-scenario using the
victory_music and/or defeat_music attributes on its code - it can also
be overriden in a [endlevel] block by providing a music= attribute with
the desired list (feature request #11203).
* Python AI:
* Added ai_init.py and ai_launcher.py to make it easier to customize
AI environment and startup. Both are used by the new embedded python
implementation.
* reversed builtin is now allowed. This allows for random.shuffle to be
called.
* Terrains:
* Added a new attribute, hidden= (default: no), to [terrain],
which prevents the map editor from offering the user a particular
tile type for drawing.

current-turn number dynamically with current=.
* It is now possible to use [time_area] to add or remove new local ToD
areas and their schedules during scenario events. Removal requires to
associate an id. to [time_area]s, or it won't work. Uses Standard
Location Filter to match locations.
* Miscellaneous and bug fixes:
* Add some gcc-4.3.0 compilation fixes (patch #1083)
* Added a MSVC 9 project file and some fixes for that compiler (patch #1093)
* Add-on uploads by default will skip all dot-files (.*), which are hidden
files or directories in UNIX filesystems.

rather than /info.cfg now; both the in-game client and the
wesnoth_addon_manager Python script have been updated for this.
* Fixed bug #12094: Event "last breath" cannot be triggered for attackers
* Fixed [filter_attack] and [filter_second_attack] not being effective

tolist, tomap, is_unowned_village, max_possible_damage_with_retaliation
* added possibility to fallback to human player

which require/support it (bug #11956)

* Added support for reserving slots when reloading game.
* Fixed timer end warning not to play in opponents turn. (bug: #11517)
* Teams are now translated locally for all clients. (bug: #3676)
* Fix an old pathfinding bug causing an inconsistency between the path used
and the one showed to others players. It was only a visual error, but
sometimes caused to see a enemy pass through your invisible units (or in
their ZoC). Now all players see the same real path. Also valid for replay.
* When joining a game, display your assigned starting position and the new
team coloring also shows your assigned color.
* units:
* balancing changes:
* increased the ranged attack of the Bowman from 6-3 to 7-3
* decreased the melee attack of the Bowman from 6-2 to 4-2
* decreased the cost of the Bowman from 15 to 14
* increased the cold resistance of the Fencer line from 0% to 10%
* decreased the 'orcishfoot' movement cost over frozen from 3 to 2
* user interface:
* Rewrote the textbox history saving of the new widget library. This rewrite
is incompatible with the old version, but since the library is still in
development, no compatibility layer has been added.
* Added gui to choose where server binary is
* Added type-a-head search to file chooser dialog
* Add a column for traits in the recall dialog.
* Add a filter textbox in the recall dialog.

scenario having id=Some_Id.

* Fix missing last publish/delete add-on option
* Fix few broken hyperlinks in help (and some were working in english only)
* Fix a regression about not working 'unit description' with hide_help=yes
* Python AI:
* get_variable now allows a default value to be passed to the call. If the
key is not found, the default value is returned. This is fully backward
compatible.
* set_variable exception handling has been fixed to return an exception in
the current call frame.
* Many wesnoth module functions now release the python GIL when it is both
safe to do so and the function call takes long enough where it also
makes sense. More changes coming.
* A new global boolean variable, 'restricted' is now set before the user AI
script is invoked. This variable indicates if it is running inside of
a restricted python environment or not.
* A new class of unrestricted scripts are now listed. Previously only
scripts which have #!WPY at the top are allowed. If only allow safe python
scripts is disabled, scripts which start with #!UNSAFE_WPY are also shown
to users. This allows AI authors to specifically target either a
restricted or unrestricted environment.
* New "system" class attributes are exposed in the restricted environment.
These include; '__call__', '__copy__', '__deepcopy__', '__name__',
'__repr__' and '__str__', in addition to the old __init__ method.
* ValueError can now be caught.
* Added a new AI, bruteforce_unsafe.py, which uses both function caching
(memoize pattern) and psyco to speed execution. It uses the new UNSAFE_WPY
tag and is not selectable unless "Only Run Safe Python AIs" is disabled.
This version of bruteforce runs 1x-14x FASTER than the stock python AI;
*heavily* dependent on the map and number of units involved.
* Per the python API documentation, many functions now return boolean values
rather than ints. Minor modernization effort to use new C-API macros
provided via python 2.4+. This change is fully backward compatible for
scripts which properly treat the return value as a boolean.
* Initial wail directory checkin. It's only a teaser at this point. ;)
* bruteforce_wail.py has been added - showing how easy it is to move a
well written bot from the wesnoth module to the wail module.
* WML engine:
* When examining stored units, now the attacks, max_hitpoints, max_moves,
and max_experience are the "real" values and can also be modified.
* new attribute count= for [have_unit] and [have_location] conditionals
* new mode "insert" for [set_variables]
* max_attacks in [unit] now also works for values bigger than 1
* the "zoc" key works for [unit_type] too, and for [unit] accepts other
boolean values than 1 and 0 (bug #11889).
* new effect apply_to=type to transform the unit to a different type
* remove redundant unit.value (use unit.cost instead)
* preserve unit.role in next scenario (bugs #3697, #4124, and #11329)
* fix various problems with [set_variables] (bugs #11980 and #11981)
* Add a new key "image" in [faction], used as icon in faction selection.
The old hack consisting to add the image's url in the faction's name is
still supported but doesn't have the new team coloring.
* miscellaneous and bug fixes:
* Fixed droiding not to make wesnoth think player is observer (bug: #9675)

* Fixed manager to initialize before gamestate in playcontroller (bug: 11935)
* Removed persistance from team configuration (bug: #10916)
* Fixed text parser again strip cr from configs. Added CR and 254 to be
escaped in campaign upload. All UMC has to be reuploaded to server

(patch: #1076)
* Allow [unit_type] num_traits=0 to override race's num_traits.
* Small optimization of scrolling and things out of their hexes.
* Added a command-line parameters "--smallgui" to allow lower resolutions.
* Missing images are now replaced by a "men-at-work" sign (in debug-mode)

stable between little mouse's moves.
