This update contains a lot of bug fixes, a few minor features as well as a bunch of new mod commands. Some of the new features are 2 new rare heroic abilities, support for no fog of war on random maps and slightly better hosting performance. Modders get the ability to create dire portent messages for their global enchantments, to make them more in line with the other globals. There are also sprite fixes for some dismounted units that looked incorrect previously.
