+ Refactored FireControl.guessAirToGroundStrikeToHitModifier and added unit
    tests for it.
+ Added a 'guess' paramter to the various WeaponFireInfo constructors to

    of BattleArmor validation

+ Bug [#4055]: allow constructing BA with Modular Equipment Adaptor
+ Bug [#4064]: Inability to fire at secondary targets when attacking things with
    stealth armor. (also made some code formatting changes) 
+ Bug: MechDisplay was using Mech.isChameleonShieldActive() instead of 
    Mech.isChameleonShieldOn() to determine if a CLPS is generating heat.
+ Bug [#3675]: Infantry mods for Chameleon LPS
+ Bug [#3806]: Another double-blind related bug

    could be rolled

    it should have been using CriticalSlot.getMount(), which was causing issues
    when exploding inferno ammo from heat
+ Fixed a ClassCastException in PhysicalInfo.initDamage()
+ Added code for Princess to give command units a higher targeting priority.  
    Princess defines 2 levels of command unit: Commander and Sub-Commander.  A 
    Commander is any unit with the isCommander flag set, has a C3 Master system
    or provides the highest initiative bonus for its player.  A Sub-Commander 
    is any unit that has an init bonus (but not the highest), a C3 slave system,
    ECM, Active Probe, TAG, EI Cockpit or is currently using a spotlight.
+ Bug [#2244]: ECM in Double Blind games -> wrong hit roll reporting
+ Bug [#3996]: Cleaned up a few more areas where not all of an Entitys loaded
    units were being sent to Clients during updates
+ Bug: Firing solutions was always drawing data for teammate units, even if
    friendly fire was off, also wouldn't draw friendly units that weren't 
    visible to an enemy unit
+ Bug [#4070]: Specialty BA not working when BA carried by mech.
+ Bug: No report when mechanized BA avoid damage
+ Bug: Reports for mechanized BA taking/avoiding damage are not indented well
+ Bug: Reports for hitting swarming units not indented well
+ Bug: Recent change to not draw enemy units that aren't visible causes an NPE
    when BoardView1.localPlayer == null
+ Bug [#4069]: Estevez MBT & Estevez AA Customize Issue
+ Changed the commander/subcommander weighting mod from a multipler to a 
    straight adder.
+ Added code to increase the target priority of buildings on the Strategic 
    Targets list.
+ Bug: Fixed a bug introduced in [r10660] (when fixing [#2244]): the code to 
    determine if an entity should be drawn was using isEverSeenByEnemy instead
    of isVisibleToEntity
+ Bug: Los darkening for sensor ranges was using a >= comparison for min sensor
    range instead of >.  The min range is not inclusive as witnessed in
    Compute.inSensorRange
+ Bug [#4068]: In double-blind, units detected by sensors only should not be
    aware
+ Added the ability to add enemy units to Princess's Strategic Targets list.  
    Units on this list will be weighted about the same as sub-commander's 
    (though a unit could be both a commander/sub-commander and a strategic 
    target for an even higher weighting).  This should (hopefully) prove useful
    for escort and headhunting type missions.
+ Bug [#4072]: Entity sprites "blinking" out of drawing since revisions after
    r10659.
+ Bug: Changing the AP weapon mounted would cause a crash when starting the game
    (I had to change Entity.getTotalWeaponList to return the actual list and 
    not a copy, which appeared to not be necessary)
+ Bug: Changing ammo type on BA would change the number of shots selected
+ Bug [#3999]: Renamed all .MTF to .mtf
+ Bug [#4063]: Mixed Tech MASC verification failure
+ Bug [#3999]: Renamed all .BLK to .blk
+ Data: New Images and Units.  Fixes to RATs.
+ Bug: Tanks with stunned crews could spot for indirect fire
+ Bug [#3672]: Starting a scenario resets all game options to default
+ Fixed an issue with Princess attempting impossible physical attacks.
+ Bug [#3669]: Random Names bad encoding (major refactorization of MUL parsing)
+ Bug: Reading in bomb choices from a MUL file threw an 
    ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException:  bomb types were saved as numbers but were
    being parsed as names
+ Bug: MUL files weren't saving velocity and altitude information for Aeros
+ Bug: Antipersonel Mount and Modular Equipment Mount changes via the 
    CustomMechDialog were not saved in the MUL file
+ Bug: EntityListFile.getLocString was using Entity.getArmorForReal and 
    BattleArmor.getOArmor to make armor comparisons at the squad level: one will
    return -1  and the other will return 0.  Added code to make the propr 
    comparisons for BA
+ Fixed the Random Map Generation dialog to see folders as well as "*.xml" files
    without having to switch to "all" files.
+ Fix of the previous fix of the Random Map Generation dialog (been too long
    since I last worked with a FileChooser).
+ Bug: Server.damageCrew will no damage the crew if they are dead, doomed or
    ejected.  This can lead to circumstances were the user might not be aware of
    why no damage was dealt.  New reports why the crew didn't take damage.
+ Bug [#4073]: NPE on unit loading in MM, Think its something with Armortype
+ Bug: vehicle_threshold is considered for rolls of 2, 8, and 12 with turrets 
    for the automatic critical from rolling those locations, however it was 
    *not* being considered for rolls of 12 without turrets.
+ Bug [#4074]: Superheavy vees ignore Vehicle Damage Thresholds rule
+ Bug: SuperHeavyTanks with dual turrets can never have the second turret hit
+ Bug: Path planner could get stuck searching forever: there's code that fires
    every 256 loop iterations to check for timeout, however it only checks for
    timeout if the current best path is better than the previous best path.
+ Rebuilt the Random Map Generation dialog from the ground up to improve it's organization and work flow.  Added
    tool tips explaining the various fields and eliminated the need to save and exit the dialog before switching
    from Normal to Advanced view.  Did not update the German or Russian messages.properties files as I'm not
    nearly qualified.
+ Data: New Images and Some unit fixes.
+ Bug: [#4076] Princess Not Using Ammo Properly.
+ Princess wasn't properly storing the new Priority Unit targets.  Also modified
    the path ranking process to prevent her from wasting time chasing down 
    ejected pilots/crews.
+ Bug [#4075]: Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle can aim locations
+ Bug [#4077]: BA with individual missile launchers attack as if the entire
    squad is armed
+ Bug [#4078]: Selected entity doesn't get cleared from FiringDisplay when 
    using /reset
+ Feature [#1236]: Increase maximum player limit
+ Bug [#3088]: BA compact narc not correct
