==================
Release Notes for Hot Patch Version 04.04.00.00
(changes since 04.03.01.00)

All Modes of Play

Scenarios
1. Fixed a problem with some later scenarios (e.g., Missed the Bus, Lebensraum) where the German replacement battleships were included in the German setup. Now those units can only enter the game if the German player explicitly builds them.

Initiative
2. Fixed a new problem in changing from the Initiative form to the Move First form. This bug was created when I was adding branching logic for the AI Opponent code.

Land Operations
3. Fixed another combination of a Commonwealth territorial unit cooperating with units belonging to a Commonwealth aligned minor country. The program now let’s them stack together.

Reorganization
4. Removed a recently added line of code which was forcing the cost for an HQ to reorganize an armor/mechanized unit to an minimum of 1. When an armor HQ uses an offensive chit, the cost can be less than 1 (e.g., 0.5 reorganization points).

Supply
5. Fixed a newly created infinite loop when searching for supply from aligned minor country capitals (e.g., Warsaw) to a primary supply source.

6. Shortened the time required to recalculate supply substantially by eliminating searches by Japan and its aligned minor countries (e.g., Korea) which checked if ports in Europe could reach a primary supply source in Japan. In one instance the search time went from 64 seconds to under 1 second.

7. Fixed a problem with units belonging to a major power tracing supply (overseas) to a primary supply source belonging to an aligned minor country. For instance, Commonwealth units were incorrectly being shown as in supply when they could trace (overseas) to a city in Egypt.

Production Planning
8. Added a line of code to prevent the Canadian oil resource in Estevan from ever being used to fulfill a Commonwealth to China trade agreement for an oil point.
