• Added has_cloaking_strength value trigger.
• Added is_cloaked trigger for fleets and ships.
• Added is_custom_tech_1, is_custom_tech_2, is_custom_tech_3 parameters for technologies. These currently use the technology frames and localisation for Rare, Insight and Dangerous technologies respectively, but new frames and localisation can be added by editing the interface/technology_view.gfx file and TECH_IS_CUSTOM_TECH_1, TECH_IS_CUSTOM_TECH_2, TECH_IS_CUSTOM_TECH_3 localisation keys.
• Added modifiers ship_cloaking_strength_add.
• Added new modifiers ship_cloaking_detection_add.
• Added new scripted trigger, has_alternative_ethics, which can be used to count Pops whose ethics do not much any of those which are central to the player empire.
• Added new sneak_attacker option for AI personalities.
• Added num_dangerous_techs, num_insight_techs, num_custom_1_techs, num_custom_2_techs, num_custom_3_techs triggers. [X] Refactored Insightful achievement.
• Added on_action for when commercial, defensive, migration, non-aggression, and research pacts are signed.
• Added on_cloaking_activated and on_cloaking_deactivated on actions.

• Allowing e.g. using script variables together with custom number formats.
• Added documentation for the recently introduced localization grammar system.
• Enabled custom_tooltip for ship components. It functions as custom_tooltip_with_modifiers in this context.
• Error log added when buildings don’t have categories assigned to them.
• Fixed crash when overwriting e.g. certain pop jobs or districts individually.
• Fixed GetFirstName returning stuff like "Petals of" instead of "Petals" (GetFirstNameFull will continue to return the former).
• Fixed is_ringworld trigger being overwritten by a scripted trigger.
• Fixed many issues with static maps (hopefully!) by combining a lot of the code used to generate them with that used by random galaxies.
• Fixed some cases where you weren't able to apply certain fleet modifiers to a specific fleet via add_modifier (e.g. ones for observation missions).
• Improved ship component template script documentation.
• Pre-FTL technology ages are now scriptable types.
• on_repaired trigger for buildings.
• Removed the ‘set_primitive_age’ effect.
• Removed redundant ‘is_ringworld’ scripted trigger.
• Cloaking can now be activated through script with the effect set_cloaking_active = yes|no.

• Using the ImGui view shortcut for selectables (ctrl+alt+right click) on the same selectable when it's already open, will now close the view.
• Views containing longer texts will now automatically reload when changes in localization are detected.
• Add remove_from_federation script effect
