598 598  3.0 Beta 2 fixes these inconsistencies and ensures that the event is only fired, if the "effective" component owner of the object changed. To handle cases where the script actually needs to be informed if the "true" owner of a component was changed (i.e. not taking the cover faction into account) a new <event_object_changed_true_owner> was introduced.
599 599  If in your scripts you make use of the <event_object_changed_owner> condition you need to verify that you indeed want to work with the "effective" component owner or whether your script code actually should work with the true owner of an object and update your code accordingly.
600 600  On top of that the 3rd parameter of <event_object_changed_owner> (trueprevious) was dropped as the event is no longer triggered upon a change of the true owner alone (i.e. only if the change of the true owner has also an effect on the "effective" component owner).
