      █ █ - Added code to make sure a unit cancels its destination when  █ █

      █ █ - Added some additional checks to skip turn logic in tacatical █ █
      █ █   battles to stop a turn from being skipped in the middle of   █ █
      █ █   other actions.                                               █ █

      █ █                                                                █ █

      █ █ - Fixed Refined Housing and Refined Economics techs (and their █ █
      █ █   fallen equivalents) so that they correctly provide the bonus █ █
      █ █   they say they do                                             █ █

      █ █ - When a unit inside a city or an army is selected and asked   █ █
      █ █   to cast a spell, that is the unit that is used for           █ █
      █ █   spellcasting now, instead of having it just fail (in a city) █ █
      █ █   or try to cast the spell from the leader of the army         █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Fixed bug where summoning a unit while in a city would cause █ █
      █ █   that unit to be summoned in an army with you within that     █ █
      █ █   city (causing weird behavior), now just stations the unit in █ █
      █ █   the city with you                                            █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Fixed bug where raise land spell would not work on all land  █ █
      █ █   category terrain types, like swamp or rugged terrain. Now,   █ █
      █ █   if a land tile is not hills, it raises that land to hills,   █ █
      █ █   instead of checking for only some terrain types              █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Fixed a bug where, in the faction editor, you could select   █ █
      █ █   ability bonus options for free by selecting and deselecting  █ █
      █ █   them, and then spinning the race spinner, caused by          █ █
      █ █   deselection not updating the faction config correctly        █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Fixed units that finished training on the same turn as an    █ █
      █ █   autosave not being there when the autosave was loaded        █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Fixed players not being able to select their city level up   █ █
      █ █   bonuses or tech breakthroughs on loading an autosave if they █ █
      █ █   were earned that turn, by having the local player mark       █ █
      █ █   themselves as needing to get user input for these things     █ █
      █ █   instead of unhiding the windows to allow the choice right    █ █
      █ █   away during CWorld::EndTurn, and not letting the user choose █ █
      █ █   until after the next turn starts and the autosave has been   █ █
      █ █   made. If one of thses autosaves is loaded, the local player  █ █
      █ █   will be allowed to choose their tech breakthroughs and city  █ █
      █ █   bonuses once the map is unhidden. This keeps us from having  █ █
      █ █   to delay an autosave and the start of the next turn by       █ █
      █ █   waiting for the user to choose their bonuses, instead making █ █
      █ █   that choice part of the start turn logic after the autosave  █ █
      █ █   has been made and saving the mark saying the player will get █ █
      █ █   to choose at the start of the next turn.                     █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Fixed treaty turn counts not matching if an autosave was     █ █
      █ █   loaded                                                       █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Based on confusion in the forums, removed ability to         █ █
      █ █   automatically unlock a spell in the learning queue if it     █ █
      █ █   makes it to the front of the queue when the player has       █ █
      █ █   enough research to buy it, so that users rearranging their   █ █
      █ █   spell learning queue don't have their spell points silently  █ █
      █ █   taken away while shuffling spells around, if they didn't     █ █
      █ █   intend to learn that spell next                              █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Now it always takes at least one turn to learn any spell     █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Fixed bug where tile highlights in tactical battle would     █ █
      █ █   disappear after an ALT+TAB                                   █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Fixed bug where trees would not look correct in all cases    █ █
      █ █   after loading a gamesave.                                    █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Fixed an issue that was allowing counter attacks against     █ █
      █ █   units with abilities of type DoesNotProvokeCounterattacks.   █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - Fixed an issue that was causing modifiers applied in         █ █
      █ █   tactical battles to persist after the battle.                █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █
      █ █ - This fixes the bug that causes XP and Gildar rewards after   █ █
      █ █   battles to be negatively skewed if the enemy unit combat     █ █
      █ █   rating was lowered due to debuffs.                           █ █

      █ █ - Fixed an issue with skipping turns in tactical battles that  █ █
      █ █   would cause a stuck turn if done when the unit being skipped █ █
      █ █   was in motion. - Pressing spacebar now sets a tactical units █ █
      █ █   moves to zero AND cancels their destination.                 █ █

      Û Û - Added some additional checks to skip turn logic in tacatical Û Û
      Û Û   battles to stop a turn from being skipped in the middle of   Û Û
      Û Û   other actions.                                               Û Û

      Û Û - The AI does not take its first turn immediately after the    Û Û

      Û Û - When a unit inside a city or an army is selected and asked   Û Û
      Û Û   to cast a spell, that is the unit that is used for           Û Û
      Û Û   spellcasting now, instead of having it just fail (in a city) Û Û

      Û Û - Fixed bug where raise land spell would not work on all land  Û Û
      Û Û   category terrain types, like swamp or rugged terrain. Now,   Û Û
      Û Û   if a land tile is not hills, it raises that land to hills,   Û Û
      Û Û   instead of checking for only some terrain types              Û Û

      Û Û - Fixed players not being able to select their city level up   Û Û
      Û Û   bonuses or tech breakthroughs on loading an autosave if they Û Û
      Û Û   were earned that turn, by having the local player mark       Û Û
      Û Û   themselves as needing to get user input for these things     Û Û
      Û Û   instead of unhiding the windows to allow the choice right    Û Û
      Û Û   away during CWorld::EndTurn, and not letting the user choose Û Û
      Û Û   until after the next turn starts and the autosave has been   Û Û
      Û Û   made. If one of thses autosaves is loaded, the local player  Û Û
      Û Û   will be allowed to choose their tech breakthroughs and city  Û Û
      Û Û   bonuses once the map is unhidden. This keeps us from having  Û Û
      Û Û   to delay an autosave and the start of the next turn by       Û Û
      Û Û   waiting for the user to choose their bonuses, instead making Û Û
      Û Û   that choice part of the start turn logic after the autosave  Û Û
      Û Û   has been made and saving the mark saying the player will get Û Û
      Û Û   to choose at the start of the next turn.                     Û Û
      Û Û                                                                Û Û
      Û Û - Fixed treaty turn counts not matching if an autosave was     Û Û
      Û Û   loaded                                                       Û Û

      Û Û - Based on confusion in the forums, removed ability to         Û Û
      Û Û   automatically unlock a spell in the learning queue if it     Û Û
      Û Û   makes it to the front of the queue when the player has       Û Û
      Û Û   enough research to buy it, so that users rearranging their   Û Û
      Û Û   spell learning queue don't have their spell points silently  Û Û
      Û Û   taken away while shuffling spells around, if they didn't     Û Û
      Û Û   intend to learn that spell next                              Û Û

      Û Û - Now it always takes at least one turn to learn any spell     Û Û
      Û Û                                                                Û Û
      Û Û - Fixed bug where tile highlights in tactical battle would     Û Û

      Û Û - Fixed an issue that was allowing counter attacks against     Û Û
      Û Û   units with abilities of type DoesNotProvokeCounterattacks.   Û Û
      Û Û                                                                Û Û
      Û Û - Fixed an issue that was causing modifiers applied in         Û Û

      Û Û - This fixes the bug that causes XP and Gildar rewards after   Û Û
      Û Û   battles to be negatively skewed if the enemy unit combat     Û Û
      Û Û   rating was lowered due to debuffs.                           Û Û

      Û Û   would cause a stuck turn if done when the unit being skipped Û Û
