+* Fixed the AP cost display not updating on game load when using `HOOK_CALCAPCOST` hook script
+* Fixed `load_array` script function not accepting floats as array keys
+* Fixed a crash when calling `proto_data` with an invalid data member value
+* Fixed `set_critter_current_ap` and `set_combat_free_move` script functions to update the player's AP lights only in combat
+* Fixed `set/remove_script` script functions not setting the script index number on an object properly
+* Fixed `set_unique_id` script function to prevent it from reassigning an object ID when unnecessary

+* Fixed `REMOVEINVENOBJ` hook not being triggered when using an item from active item slots while in the inventory screen
+* Changed `add_extra_msg_file` script function to mark the two-argument form as deprecated

+* Changed the character portrait on the character screen (from the **hero appearance mod**) to always show the standing pose
+* Re-added **NumberPatchLoop** option from older versions to `ddraw.ini`
+* Removed **AllowLargeTiles** option because its functionality is impractical and has never been used

+* Added a fix for the `+/-` keys not updating the brightness slider when used on the preferences screen
+* Added a fix for getting stuck on an empty map when the encounter table has no available entries

+* Added a fix for the morning start time used to determine random encounter frequency
+* Added a tweak to center inventory windows horizontally when not using the hi-res patch
+* Added a tweak to the animation sequence when interacting with scenery or using an item on an object
+* Added a tweak to use path length instead of tile distance to determine whether to walk or run to interact with objects
+* Added a new value to **InstantWeaponEquip** to skip weapon equip/unequip animations only when interacting with objects
+* Added object type validation to `item_weight` script function to prevent potential issues
+* Added a file size check for scripts to filter out clearly defective ones
+* Added support for nested array expressions (`compile.exe` in the **modders pack** is also updated)
+* Increased the maximum party member level from 6 to 10
+
