A more detailed (partial) change list:

#9733	UPDATE	Simplify the out-of-date game version dialog
#9532	CHANGE	The battle calculator now allows to select any two players to battle against not only enemies
#9519	FIXED	The calculate odds button is now focused again by default
#9518	FIX	Shortcuts (CTRL-A, CTRL-D, CTRL-B) for adding attackers, defenders or opening a new battle calculator dialog now also work when the battle calculator dialog is focused
#9491	UPDATE	Maps information is now stored in database and no longer stored in the file: ‘triplea_maps.yaml’. Game clients now download map information from the server. The game client no longer downloads ‘triplea_maps.yaml’. ‘Map tag’ meta data capability added to database, map admins can add tags to maps and those tags are now displayed by the game client in the download maps screen.
#9236	FIX	AI: Don’t leave loaded units on transports at end of turn.
#9227	FIX	Non-PU resources can now be set in edit mode.
#9213	FIX	Fixed leaking memory when a game was closed.
#9143	FIX	Squashed a bug that caused the battle calculator to show incorrect "units left" calculations.
#9126	FIX	Fixed the end game dialog so "No" to "Continue Game?" now ends the game.
#9098	FIX	Fix the "Could not find step name" error from showing up in TotalWorldWar. This happens when all the destroyers are killed during the Substrike phase.
#9091	FIX	Fixed a bug that caused confirmation dialogs to show no content.
#9038	FIX	In rare edge cases a NonMonotonicSequenceException could occur when planning moves
#9012	UPDATE	Battle calculator ‘ctrl+A’ and ‘ctrl+D’ will automatically set defending and attacking sides if there are no units currently set as the attacker or defender. For example, if there are UK attacking troops in a territory and the calculator has Russia selected as the attacker but no units were added to the calculator, then using ‘ctrl+A’ on the UK territory will change the attacker from Russia to UK and will add the UK units.
#9011	FIX	Fix null pointer exception error when pressing ‘ctrl-a’ to add units to the battle calculator and currently hovering over a territory border.
#8992	FIX	Map folder override settings value can no longer be set to a location that is invalid, if set to a location that cannot be written it will revert to the default location.
#8991	FIX	Maps folder user preference no longer cleared on startup, value now remains after game restart.
#8949	UPDATE	Map can now be scrolled when combat prompts are visible, for example the map can now be scrolled while selecting territories to bombard.
#8930	UPDATE	Map-Making: Game notes are now read from file instead of XML. For example, with a game file named ‘game.xml’, the notes would be read from a file called ‘game.notes.html’
#8929	CHANGE	Air units with less movement is killed before units with more movement.
#8926	UPDATE	Game notes and unit help windows are now always displayed on top of other windows
#8925	REMOVE	Removed game notes ‘action’ tab, game notes are now only available from the ‘help > game notes’ menu.
#8924	NEW	Air units are now separated by their movement left in the battle casualty selection. This allows selecting the air unit with less movement than the other air units.
#8858	FIX	Amphibious units that do not have a marine bonus will be auto selected as a casualty before the non-amphibious units are. If the amphibious units have a marine bonus, then they will be auto selected after the non-amphibious units.
#8775	UPDATE	Maps, by map name, are now found on disk by looking at ‘map.yml’ files and looking for a matching map name. No longer will TripleA use the map folder names for this.
#8774	FIX	Games with numeric names, like ‘1941’, would not load.
#8747	FIX	Lobby player info right click menu corrected to properly reflect when players have left an in-progress game
#8704	NEW	Game engine will now scan maps for a ‘map.yml’ file to find XML files. The engine will attempt to generate a ‘map.yml’ for any maps missing the file.
#8637	UPDATE	Map making - clarified how image links in HTML is made localized. If the link is absolute, it will now always remain absolute (eg: https://path-to-my-image/my-image.png). Otherwise if the image path is relative (eg: "img src=someImage.png"), the path will be made relative to the maps folder ‘doc/images/’.
#8622	UPDATE	Downloaded maps are now extracted and stored as flat files rather than as zipped files.
#8610	FIX	AA units can no longer accidentally hit units that will be captured after the battle is over.
#8604	CHANGE	If a kamikaze strike kills a unit that is transporting other units (or units attempting to unload to another territory), the transported units and units attempting to unload are now killed along with the unit that was originally hit by the kamikaze strike.
#8510	FIX	Fix rare game launch error ‘ConcurrentModificationException’ related to assigning default player colors.
#8494	FIX	Downloading updated maps will now properly update and not report that the map is already installed.
#8436	UPDATE	Debug console has been replaced with a log file. The game will now generate a ‘triplea.log’ file with debug logging in it rather than having a console window to view it.
#8414	CHANGE	If a unit is transporting units and it is transformed because of whenCapturedChangesInto, whenHitPointsDamagedChangesInto, or whenHitPointsRepairedChangesInto, then the transported units will be copied to the transformed unit instead of removed.
#8384	FIX	Invalid player names in a step definition will now cause an error to be shown when the map is first loaded.
#8349	CHANGE	If ‘Naval Bombard Casualties Return Fire’ is false, then a new step is added to the battle ui to indicate when the casualties are removed from battle.
#8347	UPDATE	Bundled java version updated to 11.0.9.1+1 from 11.0.6
#8313	UPDATE	Submit bug report menu item now available in lobby ‘help’ menu. ‘Show debug console’ is also now available in the help menu.
#8289	FIX	AI incorporates canal restrictions when calculating the value of its territories. This value is used by the AI to determine where units should be moved. Before this change, if an unopened canal separated two territories and one territory was owned by the AI an the other territory was a high value territory (such as enemy capital), then it would stack up units in that territory since the units couldn’t traverse the canal but the value of the territory was really high. AI should handle now Warcraft War Heroes air routes better.
#8276	FIX	Fix potential NullPointerException message when pressing ‘ctrl+a’ to add units to battle calculator
#8155	CHANGE	Unit objects are no longer copied between networked game instances. This is behind the beta flag as there might be situations where the game assumes that the unit’s state (such as amphibious, submerged, damage, etc) will be copied without going through change objects.
#8088	FIX	Air Battle units with multiple rolls in Low Luck battles will be able to use all their power instead of being limited to the dice sides of the game. Battle of Arda and Greyhawk are two such maps that will be affected in Low Luck.
#8087	CHANGE	Battle step strings in Battle UI have been updated to indicate all of the possible offensive and defensive groups that are participating. Instead of one "British fire", there could be multiple "British units fire" depending on canNotTarget, canNotBeTargetedBy, subs, typeAA, etc
#8080	Fix	Battle for Arda will have a map that can be selected in the UI and it won’t throw an error.

2.5.22285 Nov 1, 2020

#8049	FIX	Avoid game crash during game selection when maps are missing required XML data
#8048	FIX	Fix potential freeze when starting large save games in lobby.

AI Changes

AI will now do strategic bombing
AI - Added check for whether factories can be placed to purchase
AI - consider enemy turn order
AI - consider multi-nation attacks
AI - Add new Fast AI player, similar to Strong AI, but uses a simplified combat simulation to improve processing speed
AI - Add capital value for amphib attacks
AI - remove strong AI
AI - Update casualty selection unit value calculation to consider

Map Changes

Map Download Overhaul - Tabbed View with progress bars, can remove downloaded maps from the download window, and a game restart is no longer required to play new maps
Maps have been moved to Github, they will download faster, and map development can now be done with far less administrative support.
Game engine will pick up map ‘clones’ from the downloaded maps folder. This means you can clone a map repo directly in the download maps, update it, play it, and then you can commit and push the changes to then update the main map repo. Map makers should no longer have to do any map zipping or unzipping.

Removed “isCombatInfrastructure” and “unitDamage” from unit attachments, and also removed m_maxOperationalDamage from TripleAUnits. Unit damage is per unit, not per unit type, so it should never be a unit attachment. (veqryn [Mark Christopher Duncan])
