• A registry for abilities has been added as [abilities]. Any ability defined there can be added to a by just specifying their unique_id in the new key abilities_list, like this: abilities_list=heals_8,cures. The unique id for an ability is the value of its new unique_id key which falls back to id if unspecified. The abilities key is also supported under [effect]apply_to=new_ability.

• A similar registry for weapon specials has also been added as [weapon_specials]. The corresponding key is specials_list and is supported inside [attack] as well as in EffectWML apply_to=new_attack and apply_to=attack's [set_specials]. unique_id is also supported inside weapon special definitions.

User interface

• New key title_position added to [part] that allows changing the position of the title text.

• Enemies that can't be attacked are not highlighted when showing a unit's potential movement.

WML Engine

• Remove [filter_adjacent_student] and [filter_adjacent_student_location] from abilities used like weapons because shorthand from existing filters[filter_student][filter_adjacent] and [filter_student][filter_location][filter_adjacent_location].

• Deprecate [filter_adjacent] and [filter_adjacent_location] from abilities and weapons specials because shorthand from existing filters[filter][filter_adjacent] and [filter][filter_location][filter_adjacent_location] for abilities or [filter_self][filter_adjacent] and [filter_self][filter_location][filter_adjacent_location] for weapon specials.

• Fixed [resistance_defaults] leaking on random maps, causing OOS errors in unrelated content.

• Fixed a crash when the sides defined for a scenario are not all consecutive.

Miscellaneous and Bug Fixes

• Build System:

• Changed CMake to not directly pull in boost-system (fixing build issues on archlinux using boost-libs >1.89.0-2)
