Bug [#4245]: RandomArmyDialog Tech Level IllegalArgumentException
Bug: BLKFile was setting rear facing as 2 instead of 3, only affects VGLs
Bug: Mounted.getDesc returns wrong facing abbreviation for VGLs
Bug [#4244]: Windows Map Editor Apply and Save Button Launches "Open" Dialogue
Added code to the bots' deployment logic so that they will now check for a valid path to the center of the board before deploying a unit. This does make deployment take a little longer (depending on unit and how complicated the board is) but will reduce the incidences of the bot deploying in a dead-end location.
Modified the random crater generation routine as the existing routine was not honoring min/max crater radius and was sometimes creating hills rather than craters.
Princess will now be pickier about firing ammo-using weapons as their bins run dry. The less ammo she has, the better she'll want her to-hit odds to be before firing. Ammo conservation depends on a combination of total shots remaining and aggressiveness (higher aggression means less conservation).
Data: Unit Fixes and New Images.
Data: Fixed Scenario files to be inline with new naming system.
Bug: VGLs mounted in the front right and front left on vehicles would receive a 'not in arc' message without TO vehicle arc rules on

Bug: Fixed mine dispensers to work according with rules in TO p.325
Bug [#4234]: Missiles/Artillery couldn't be directed to make a mine clearance attacks
Princess will no longer attack Crippled units when the Forced Withdrawal rule is turned on. However, if a fleeing unit fires on one of her units, the controlling player is flagged as 'dishonored' and his units will become regular targets again. Likewise, the Priority Targets list overrides this new behavior.
If Forced Withdrawal is turned on Princess's Crippled units will no longer fire as they attempt to retreat unless they are fired on first. Also, firing on such a unit, will get the attacking player flagged as 'dishonored'.
Princess now de-prioritizes civilian units until they fire on one of her units or unless they are on the Priority Targets list.
Bug [#4234]: Implemented Mine clearance manipulators for BA

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

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: 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

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: Fixed stack overflow with UI automatic target code
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

Refactored FireControl.guessToHitModifierForWeapon and added unit tests for it.
Data: Some unit corrections to bring them inline with the MUL.
Refactored FireControl.guessAirToGroundStrikeToHitModifier and added unit tests for it.

Updated the Princess help doc with a list of Optional Rules that should be safe to use.
Bug [#4058]: Movement Report Dialogue needs a scrollbar

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 [#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: 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.

the "aft" or "rear" facing side of the unit is ghosted out as if it cannot
be seen by an enemy, but I'm not using double blind. Thoughts anyone?)
Bug [#3119]: Squadron Overheat Strat Ops errata
Bug : Several issues with the ChoiceDialog for launching fighters.It has a
nag if the bay doors are overloaded with launching fighters.This nag
message has the option to not ask again, but the answer to this isn't saved.
Now it is.Also, the nag is very specific about what kinds of rolls will
need to be made for launching too many fighters.Finally, there was an NPE

impossible to launch latter bays without launching from previous bays,
but it's fixed now.

The Princess portion of the Bot Config Dialog now has 3 levels of verbosity: ERROR, WARNING and DEBUG. DEBUG gets pretty verbose and shouldn't be used unless you're looking for something specific.
I believe I have finally fixed the issue with Princess getting stuck in the Precognition.wait_for_unpause logic because the events_to_process list was never clearing out.
