This is the development changelog file for DFHack. If you add or change
anything, note it here under the heading "DFHack Future", in the appropriate
section. Items within each section are listed in alphabetical order to
minimise merge conflicts. Try to match the style and level of detail of the
other entries.
This file contains changes that are relevant to users of prereleases. These
changes should include changes from just the previous release, whether that
release was stable or not. For instance, a feature added in 0.43.05-alpha1
should go under "0.43.05-alpha1" here *and* "0.43.05-r1" (or "future") in
NEWS.rst. A fix in one prerelease for an issue in the previous prerelease
should just go here in the appropriate section, not in NEWS.rst.
Sections for each release are added as required, and consist solely of the
following in order as subheadings::
Fixes
Structures
API Changes
Additions/Removals
Other Changes
When referring to a script, plugin, or command, use backticks (```) to
create a link to the relevant documentation - and check that the docs are
still up to date!
When adding a new release, change "DFHack future" to the appropriate title
before releasing, and then add a new "DFHack future" section after releasing.

Fixes
-----
- Fixed an issue with uninitialized bitfields that was causing several issues

the extended `stocks` screen, and likely other problems). This issue was
introduced in 0.43.05-alpha3.

ui_building_assign_type, ui_building_assign_is_marked,
ui_building_assign_units, ui_building_assign_items, and ui_look_list. This
fixes `search-plugin`, `zone`, and `force`, among others.
- ``ui_sidebar_menus``: Fixed some x64 alignment issues
Additions/Removals
------------------
- Added `fix/tile-occupancy`: Clears bad occupancy flags on the selected tile.
Useful for fixing blocked tiles introduced by the above buildingplan issue.

``since`` attribute instead

- ``unit_personality.emotions.flags``: now a bitfield
API Changes
