User interface
  • GUI2 themes can be loaded from add-ons. Requires a `gui-theme.cfg` file in add-on root with a `[gui]` tag that acts as the entry point for the theme.
  • Hovering over units and selecting units now highlights reachable hexes instead of obscuring unreachable ones.
  • Option key is now identified as such instead of Alt in the Hotkeys preferences section on macOS builds
  • Search filter should now be case-insensitive for more than just ASCII characters (#9328)
  • Added attack and defend animations for the Orcish Warrior, standing and attack animations for the Goblin Pillager, and an alternate attack animation for the Orcish Warlord.
  • Fixed the displayed team name not always matching the actual teams that players are on.
WML Engine
  • Removed properties `unit.side` and `terrain.owner`. Use `unit.side_number` and `terrain.owner_side` instead.
  • rechange [experimental_filter_ability/active] and [experimental_filter_specials] to [filter_ability/active] and [filter_specials] and make "experimental_" deprecated.
  • Add alignment in [attack] to specify the alignment of an attack independent of the unit's alignment.
  • GUI2 themes can now be provided by add-ons.
  • When using `sub` in a weapon special to decrease the number of attacks a unit has, going below zero is now treated as still being 0.
Miscellaneous and Bug Fixes
  • A variety of issues have been fixed in the rewritten in-game Help browser.
  • Fixed the editor saving plain maps in a different folder than the game creation screen expects.
