Notas del parche (en inglés)
Engine, misc

• FIXED: OS X crashes when cancelling assignment via assignment beacon
• FIXED: OS X crashes when crops are finished being harvested
• FIXED: some leaking memory (what a mess!)
• replaced dynamic allocations for moving tags about in the game space dictionary with a static pool of memory and a large buffer
• replaced dynamic allocations of particle system VBOs and memory during the render frame with a pool of VBO resources to draw from; eliminates a memory leak and General Badness with drivers that do not like you creating/deleting VBOs on the fly all that much, and should also provide a modest speed increase.

Save/Load

• FIXED: Display of work schedule data is no longer reset on load.
• FIXED: environmental light values now set correctly after save/load

Combat AI / Decision Tree

• added a bunch more code to the decision tree parser, specifically “enough code to make it work” and “enough code to unbreak the editor.”
• replaced all old military logic with military decision tree code (it is smarter! also: should fix rallying)
• FIXED: require_work_party_rally_point not firing consistently

Renderer / Lighting Rewrite

• added dynamic point lights! they can be attached to a model placer for rigid body and skeletal models
• lights can now be attached to/removed from placers; UPM version 2.9 created
• the renderer now applies interior ambient lighting for objects inside buildings, and tracks it on the interior
• renderer now does lighting in a completely different way for the two existing lights, but this will probably be invisible to the user. It is, however, necessary for everything else.
• things can now cast shadows on farms (and other decal-type zones)
• increased transparency of semi-transparent building walls.

Spectres

• added Vengeful Spectres
• added job for Vicar to confront spectre (+ticker message is created when vicar confronts spectre)
