v0.39.1 (2014-08-26 14:56 UTC)
+ Patch [#458]: Highlighting FOV options
+ Patch [#462]: Forcing redirected system.out and sys.err to respect flush
+ Data: New Images and some date fixes
+ Added entity attribute neverDeployed to the MUL files
+ Bug [#4189] Princess throws NPE (in exp branch)
+ Feature [#1269]: Allow changing button order for phase displays
+ Feature: Added an FPS counter that is toggleable via advanced options
+ Data: Unit Fixes and New Images.
+ Data: New Images.
+ Data: Starting to change Source Names to match TRO for easier reference.
+ Bug [#4193]: Princess NPE: Exception in thread "Packet Pump"
java.lang.NullPointerException
+ Feature: Added the font_color attribute to the UI_Element tag in skin specs
+ Feature: Plain skin; now if an icon for a border or button fails to load, the
element falls back to the paintComponent method of its parent, which enables
a plain skin to be specified by leaving out all icons.
+ Feature: Added ability to select a skin specification file in the client
settings dialog. Note: this only takes effect before a game is started
+ Feature: SkinSpecification/MegamekBorder now supports a no border mode
+ Feature: SkinSpec/MegamekButton now supports scaled background images in
addition to tiled ones
+ Bug [#4190]: Nova/Watchdog CEWS projects a 6 hex ECM field instead of 3
+ Data: New Images,Unit Fixes, and RAT fixes
+ Bug [#4199]: Movement impossible due to infinite recursion/stack overflow
+ Better error handling for skin selection: in the client dialog it will check
to see if the skin file failed to load and if so notify the user and reinit
the old skin. Error logging for failed parsing is also better. Finally,
if a SkinSpecification is requested when no SkinSpec is initialized, a
default value is returned that will effectively force a "plain" skin.
+ Refactored BoardView1 to move it to its own package and refactored a lot of
inner classes to their own classes/files.
+ Rewrote BoardView1.drawMinefields(): now instead of iterating through all
visible coords, it iterates through all mined coords and checks to see if
they are visible.
+ Adjusted default values for ADVANCED_KEY_REPEAT_DELAY and
ADVANCED_KEY_REPEAT_RATE
+ Bug [#4196]: Princess Fires on Crew Killed Vehicles
+ Bug [#4203]: Poor indication when aeros are low or out of fuel
+ Bug [#4201]: Initiative Issues with mek/vee lance and inf/proto move multi
options
+ Data: New Images

Longest path finder + fixed bug with jump movement envelope.
+ Bug [#4204]: Game.addEntity allows adding of duplicate Entity IDs
+ Feature: Added maximal movement modifiers envelope.
+ Bug: movement envelope and movement modifiers sprites not scaling when
changing zoom levels
+ Data: New Images and some equipment date/name fixes.
+ Fix: Faster path finding for aeros on ground.(Longest path still takes >20sec)
+ Data: New Images
+ Feature: Smarter path finding for Princess
+ Data: New Images
+ Bug: Princess violates stacking restrictions
+ Bug: Windows does not allow double quotes in filenames, so fluff images for
any unit that has a model using them will not work. Fixed by stripping the
double quotes from the models of such units, allowing the filenames to be
exact without them. Example:
Unit: Grasshopper GHR-7K "Gravedigger"
Fluff Filename: Grasshopper GHR-7K Gravedigger.gif
+ Data: New Images and some unit fixes. Includes additional wreck images.
+ Data: New Images and fix for bug [#4209]
+ Bug: Added a new game event: GameVictoryEvent, which has a corresonding
GameListener.gameVictory method. This event is called when the
PHASE_VICTORY is ending, but before Game.reset is called. This fixes a bug
with MekHQ (and likely MekWars as well)
+ Bug: NPE in princess precognition when after a mechwarrior is picked by a mech
+ Data: New Images
+ PlayerSettingsDialog now displays the name of the player being configured
+ Server sends a chat to all players when a player changes their player-wide
initiative bonus
+ PlayerSettingsDialog can now be accessed mid-game so that players can adjust
their settings, like player-wide initiative bonus. This is to help support
conditional initiative bonuses, like in Total Chaos

+ Feature [#1270]: RFE: Please add simple Pilot data to MechDialog
+ Bug [#4207]: Aero fighters lose ability to take off once landed

+ Bug: Ortho graphic icons (bridges) drawn too low when on negative elevation
+ Bug: Princess.die could throw an NPE
+ Bug: CustomMechDialog getNextEntity(boolean) returning entities for other players
From a discussion with Arlith, we decided that perhaps this was intended if no
blind drop options are on. However, we also decided to limit it to the units
owned by the player of the currently displayed units so that you will only
cycle through the entities of one player at a time
+ Bug: BattleMaster BLR-1G and "chassis" not working quite right due to misnamed
files
+ Bug: NPE in MtfFile.java when the file that is being parsed is empty
+ Feature [#1158]: Map Editor: Re-size maps
+ Refactored Compute.get*ECMFieldSize() methods to be cleaner and a bit more
efficient
+ Updated Game to cache which Coords have Entitys in them, and what those
Entitys are. Now Game.getEntities(Coords) uses the cache to return much
quicker. This is important for games with a large number of Entitys, as
Game.getEntities(Coords) can be called frequently (like when computing LoS)
+ Bug: View -> Round Report was displaying the phase report for the current
round instead of the round report
+ Bug [#4215]: Long delays between turns for large battles with
double-blind/sensors
+ Bug [#4213]: Deployment Not Following Initiative Options

+ Bug [#4218]: J. Edgar displaying wrong in Unit List
+ Bug: Simultaneous Deployment not working because of missing code in Client.java
+ Bug [#4219]: Issues with stacking violations and MovePaths (Temporary Hack Fix)
+ Bug [#4220]: Client issues with Load and LocalLoad Commands
+ Bug: SocketException: Broken Pipe when disconnecting from server
+ Bug [#4224]: Client still thinks an Entity is in the dest hex during movement

+ Bug [#4226]: Long delays between phases for large battles with
double-blind/sensors

+ Bug: Loading a MUL file with specified C3 networks caused doubling or slave
Entities, and C3 networks were not connected
+ Bug: Compute.inVisualRange wasn't considering SO Advanced AA fire
+ Bug [#4228]: VTOLs Invalid Targets for ASF on Map
+ Bug: updated ECM drawing code to not draw EC(C)M fields for transported units
(according to current errata)
+ Bug [#4227]: VTOL Turrets do not show in MM Unit Display
+ Feature [#1279]: Introduction of custom quirks file
+ Data: New Images
+ Added the following new quirks: Battle Fists, Overhead Arms, Compact Mech, Low-Mounted Arms, Oversized and
Static Ammo Feed. None of these are coded yet, they are purely display values only. Also updated the
cannonUnitQuirks.xml file to include these new quirks
+ Feature Request [features:#1265] Princess Bot and magma
+ Added code to make Princess fire hole-punchers before crit-seekers
+ Added new unofficial option to ignore TW pg. 109 rules requiring primary targets being in front arc
+ Bug: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in Princess's PathRanker.validatePaths()
if the list of paths to validate is empty to begin with
+ Refactored Entity.getDamageLevel() and associated methods to allow for a boolean flag checkCrew

+ Added support for a new Smoke type: Chaff, to be used for VGL chaff grenades
+ Refactored code relating to SmokeCloud, including replacing magic numbers with
static final values in SmokeCloud
+ Bug: Princess FireControl was using the smoke level directly to compute to-hit
penalties, since smoke level doesn't directly correspond to light/heavy,
this wasn't quite accurate. Fixed the code and expanded the firecontrol
unit tests to incorporate tests for other smoke levels
+ Bug: data/images/hexs/trasparent/lismoke.png should be lismokes.gif
+ Updated hex tilesets to include a chaff icon, just used light smoke icon as a
placeholder
+ Bug: Communications equipment always generating ECCM, regardless of mode
+ More support for Chaff: chaff now considered as ECM that effects all players
+ Server now updates client's list of smoke clouds: added a new packet type,
this is required because chaff type SmokeClouds generate ECM, which the
client needs to know about
+ ECMInfo now supports having a null owner, which indicates that it should
always be considered as coming from an enemy
+ Feature [#1281]: Implement vehicular grenade launcher ammo functionality
+ Updated VGL Ammo names, default ammo name has Fragmentation in it
+ Changed UnitDisplay so that the ammo dropdown displays the name of the ammo
for one-shot weapons, the combo box remains disabled

out incorrectly
