##################################
- Fixed CTD where unit can look like it is moving without having a path (yes, this
was a strange one)
- Med various code safer to avoid theoretically possible but improbable crashes.

falloff computations after a long time of watching battles closely. Sound effect
instances were being stopped but never destroyed.
- Added an error and prevented a crash if a supply area is missing
- Fixed crash when loading a savegame while in a peace conference
- Fixed crash when adding manpower to casualties when the killer was not at war
with the owner of the manpower ( for instance volunteers ), casualties will now be
added to the logicalcountry of the army in such situations
- Fixed memory leak due to old messages piling up over time that were never used
- Optimized the amount of calculations related to front systems (base mechanics
required by the battleplans) used by the volunteers battleplans.
- Optimized a function that was doing a "country tag lookup" (an internal thing)
which was a bottleneck at some moments of gameplay.
- Fixed CTD and by the way the inconsistency between the ordinary AI, and the
volunteers AI.
- Lots of memory leaks fixes in general (Leaked memory means that the game consumes
more and more RAM over the time).
- Fixed several CTDs in a new division names system.
- Fixed CTDs that occured after loading the older save games.

(regions being blocked).
- Fixed CTD in AI strategy referring to the leaders being deleted by spawning a
civil war.

probability for a CTD).

carriers after deleting them.

plenty of bottlenecks in: units, navies, air calculations (and much more)...
- Another large performance optimization in the naval unit transportation system.
- Optimized the amount of the network commands spammed by the AI.
- Small optimization in pathfinding for the naval transportation. Units ready to
set off from the same location will get only 1 naval pathfind done and share the
data.
- Optimized performance by about 20% in places by reworking the careless usage of
"can battleplans be executed" function.
- Got rid of the several seconds stall on daily updates. Related to the
sending/receiving volunteer forces.

return to main menu, and try starting new game.

in patches/mods.
- Fixed rare CTD after deleting defensive line.
- Fixed several Out of Sync bugs in MP.

- Fixing CTD in subject relation view
- Fix for probable rehost CTD
- Fixed the major cause for the CTDs in the peace conference window

the biggest nations (SOV & GER) to be on separate threads
- Fixed a division by zero crash
- Fixed crash that happens on rare occasions when sending telemetry data
- added crash safety checks for invalid data on writing sunk ships to savegame

(and killing said units at the same time as orders were given, as a side note also
invented a time machine and solved world hunger.)
- Fixed memory overrun issue in ai front handling
- Portraits and other sprite updates are now cached to reduce ui strain
- Fixed an issue where deleted units could be put back into combats.

slow.

- Fix for a freeze when you ended up in a civil war at war with your own puppets
(o_O). Fix stops all inter-faction wars so modders need to be careful to kick ppl
before war etc.

planes and particularly so when at war with each other
- Tweaked AT gun research to take enemy armor values into account (AI will be more
willing to research AT upgrades if facing an enemy with high armor divisions)
- AI will no longer research basic heavy tanks if it can already research improved
heavy tanks

trade country

tiny. Makes the AI better at pushing after landing a naval invasion.

for.

efficiently to changing situations.

buffer too

one was interception

china

about accepting calls to arms to majors (soviet) when still at war with major
neighbors (china)
- ai should now no longer get stuck on super large trades and better fulfill its
needs (basically skipped the full-trade logic)

- AI now prefers trade with closer nations if naval transport required
- AI now likes trading with nations with neutral foreign policy more as they are
stable
- lend lease now automatically cancels when war ends for the receiver
- AI is now MUCH better at looking at the equipment cost for switching more
templates than just one at a time
- AI cares about infrastructure way more when placing consctruction
- AI should no longer go as happy on naval construction over military (was counting
ratio also using civilian so got disproportional large naval part)
- AI us now allowed to trade using more civilian factories
- Ai should now be much better at going for medium tank divisions. Fixed issues
with width being off as well as wrong template being used when evaluatign fitness
for changing out lines
- rebalanced ai priorities for medium vs light armor so that ai doesnt get stuck
thinking its making light when it isnt

upgrades and could get stuck on motorized

have generated some actual threat giving you 1-2 smaller wars before you are sucked
into the ww2 vortex (makes some minors a lot more playable)
- rebalanced ai priorities for medium vs light armor so that ai doesnt get stuck
thinking its making light when it isnt
- fixed a case where AI was looking at the wrong type when deciding about template
upgrades and could get stuck on motorized
- Improved AI trade law logic selection
- AI now has a can_upgrade_in_field trigger on templates to give it hints on when
to stop producing light tanks and switch over to medium for stuff
