- setfps: set FPS cap at runtime, in case you want slow motion or speed-up.

New GUI scripts:
- gui/mechanisms: browse mechanism links of the current building.
- gui/room-list: browse other rooms owned by the unit when assigning one.
- gui/liquids: a GUI front-end for the liquids plugin.
- gui/rename: renaming stockpiles, workshops and units via an in-game dialog.
- gui/power-meter: front-end for the Power Meter plugin.
- gui/siege-engine: front-end for the Siege Engine plugin.
Autolabor plugin:
- can set nonidle hauler percentage.
- broker excluded from all labors when needed at depot.
- likewise, anybody with a scheduled diplomat meeting.
New Dwarf Manipulator plugin:
Open the unit list, and press 'l' to access a Dwarf Therapist like UI in the game.
New Steam Engine plugin:
Dwarven Water Reactors don't make any sense whatsoever, so this is a potential
replacement for those concerned by it. The plugin detects if a workshop with a
certain name is in the raws used by the current world, and provides the necessary
behavior. See hack/raw/*_steam_engine.txt for the necessary raw definitions.
Note: Stuff like animal treadmills might be more period, but can't be done with dfhack.
New Power Meter plugin:
When activated, implements a pressure plate modification that detects power in gear
boxes built on the four adjacent N/S/W/E tiles. The gui/power-meter script implements
the build configuration UI.
New Siege Engine plugin (INCOMPLETE):
When enabled and configured via gui/siege-engine, allows aiming siege engines
at a designated rectangular area across Z levels. Also supports loading catapults
with non-boulder projectiles, taking from a stockpile, and restricting operator
skill range, like with ordinary workshops.
