- Modified Xeromyces to no longer automatically convert element and
attribute names to lowercase, so that we can have camelCase names. We
should now be able to convert all the multi-word entity properties, like
pass_through_allies, to camelCase, like passThroughAllies, which is more
consistent with the rest of our JavaScript naming conventions. To
support the existing code that assumes lowercase element names, I made
the getElementID and getAttributeID methods (used in the EL and AT
macros) ignore case, and I changed any code that directly accessed
element names to use the right case. CEntityTemplate now converts
Names_LikeThis to names_likeThis (changing each separate "word" in the
name to camelCase). Changed the version letter in XMB filenames from A
to B to support this without requiring people to delete old XMBs.
- Enhanced the pathfinder's handling of contact paths, resulting in a
very large speedup for actions like attacking, construction, etc. The
problem was that the pathfinder used to not count a given state as the
goal unless it was exactly coincident with the target location. This is
fine when you order a unit to go exactly to a certain spot, but if
you're ordering a unit to build, gather or attack something, then the
target tile is impassable (because your target is there) and therefore
the pathfinder never declares a state final. As a result, the pathfinder
tries hundreds of extra tiles in case there is a long path that gets to
the goal, and after failing to find any path that reaches the goal, it
gives you one to the closest point it got to. To fix it, I made the
pathfinder take into account a radius around the goal in which it's OK
to be, which depends on the size of the target unit and the range of
your action.

# Attempted to make compilation faster
by including as little as possible in some .h files, and moving it into
.cpp.
Fixed BaseTechCollection memory leak.
This was SVN commit r3992.
The pathfinder was pushing locations with negative coordinates (or
coordinates larger than the map size) onto the queue, which led to
memory corruption in CAStarEngine's node array and later a crash in its
destructor.
This was SVN commit r3923.
- Pulled out the A* implementation to a separate class to support reuse
of code for the high level pathfinder
- Cached the the open/closed status of nodes to improve speed
- Added a maximum node limit before the search is cut off
(DEFAULT_SEARCH_LIMIT in AStarEngine.cpp for now)
- Allied unit collisions are now ignored
This was SVN commit r3861.
