    174213r20391 Adapt trade gain normalization to map size (increased on small maps and decreased on large maps), and slow down the increase of the gain at very large distances.[[BR]]

    211255
    212256=== Preparation for Isometric view ===
    … …  
    269313  Allows using different template organization schemes (subfolders, different folders, etc).[[BR]]
    270314r20249 Command line options can now start with `-` or `--`.[[BR]]
     315r20589 Amend wallpiece lengths. (#2944)[[BR]]
     316r20575 Deprecate type property of mods.

     318r20614 Support translation of mod labels and description.[[BR]]
     319r20625 Remove civ-specific hardcoding in rmgen wall-placement script. (#2944)[[BR]]
     320r20729 Delete Savegame format version, refs rP10454.
     321It is unneeded because we won't add backwards compatibility for previous formats and
     322because the engine version check from rP16906 is sufficient and more accurate in testing compatibility of savegames of different releases.
     323The simpler code allows unifying the savegame version check with the check used by the replay menu (to be used in multiplayer gamesetups).[[BR]]

    272325=== Performance Optimizations ===
    273326r20256 Fix lag from moving to the edge of the map[[BR]]

    276328r19936 Stop copying the territory grid when recomputing the texture.[[BR]]
    277329r20311 Some performance optimizations.[[BR]]
    278330r20438 Use the rangeManager's subdivisions in the obstruction manager shape tests
    279331Completes an existing TODO. This is a large speedup in some cases for those test functions, particularly the "sunken ship lag" issue.(#4713)[[BR]]
     332r20571 Change gathering rally points to use gather instead of gather-near-position when possible.[[BR]]
     333r20630 Improve Hierarchical Pathfinder Update, somewhat substantially on larger map sizes [[BR]]
     334r20634 Long range pathfinder cleanup Remove ACCEPT_DIAGONAL_GAPS as it was unused and will not be used in the future. Use PASSABLE macro everywhere. Simplify considerable OnTheWay? as MakeGoalReachable? returns a point goal.
     335This doubles as a very slight optimisation, on the order of microseconds per call.[[BR]]
