About this page
This page holds informations about engine changes that are relevant to game/map makers. The idea is to replace the "make your game ready for next release"-threads with a wiki page because unlike a forumpost, everybody can edit this. So if you find a thread (or mantis post etc) that explains a fix, please add it here. Back-link to forum. Use for bumping.

- change to weapon indexing in lua gadgets: https://github.com/spring/spring/commit/ba9721b4e4a296f35efd9838a36c94ab7a9f476e (likely to cause index out of bounds errors in any gadgets using weapon related API calls)
