This file is here to allow devs to easily add stuff in the release notes for the next release, it allows easy syncing with the release team, since you don't have to be around when the release takes place... Just dump whatever you want to have mentioned in the release notes here. The release team should empty this file after each release. terrain_mask maps which are stored in a separate file should use the extension '.mask' instead of '.map'. This way wmllint can properly convert the maps to the new format. Obviously this should be done before running wmllint on the data. Added a new combobox to the multiplayer side set-up screen, both for the client and the host, to select the leader's gender (male/female). It even reflects the graphical changes in the UI. It has been a wanted feature for a long time, but in a cooperative effort by Noyga and Shadow Master, it's ready. A test implementation was hidden in 1.3.9 anyway. Server metadata for a campaign can now be inside the campaign directory as a file named _server.pbl. The upload client code now skip filenames ending in ~ or -bak or containing the string .pbl. This is to avoid shopping backups or a .pbl file that might contain a passphrase.
