@ -77,6 +77,22 @@ changelog.txt uses a syntax similar to RST, with a few special sequences:
- ``Gui::anywhere_hotkey``: for plugin commands bound to keybindings that can be invoked on any screen
- ``Lua::PushInterfaceKeys()``: transforms viewscreen ``feed()`` keys into something that can be interpreted by lua-based widgets
- ``Lua::Push()``: now handles maps with otherwise supported keys and values
- Units module: added new checks
- ``isUnitInBox()``
- ``isAnimal()``
- ``isVisiting()`` any visiting unit (diplomat, merchant, visitor)
- ``isVisitor()`` ie. not merchants or diplomats
- ``isInvader()``
- ``isDemon()`` returns true for unique/regular demons
- ``isTitan()``
- ``isMegabeast()``
- ``isGreatDanger()`` returns true if unit is a demon, titan, or megabeast
- ``isSemiMegabeast()``
- ``isNightCreature()``
- ``isDanger()`` returns true if is a 'GreatDanger', semi-megabeast, night creature, undead, or invader
- Units module: modifies existing checks
- ``isUndead(df::unit* unit)`` => ``isUndead(df::unit* unit, bool ignore_vamps = true)`` isUndead used to always ignore vamps, now it does it by default and includes them when false is passed
- ``isCitizen(df::unit* unit)`` => ``isCitizen(df::unit* unit, bool ignore_sanity = false)`` isCitizen used to always check sanity, now it does it by default and ignores sanity when true is passed
- Constructions module: added ``insert()`` to insert constructions into the game's sorted list.
- MiscUtils: moved the following string transformation functions from ``uicommon.h``: ``int_to_string``, ``ltrim``, ``rtrim``, and ``trim``; added ``string_to_int``
