 -@ ``gui.ZScreen``: new attribute: ``defocusable`` for controlling whether a window loses keyboard focus when the map is clicked
 - ``widgets.Label``: token ``tile`` properties can now be either pens or numeric texture ids
 - `tiletypes`: now has a Lua API! ``tiletypes_setTile``
+- ``maps.getBiomeType``: exposed preexisting function to Lua
 
 ## Removed
 - `autohauler`: no plans to port to v50, as it just doesn't make sense with the new work detail system
