However, the exact cases were inconsistent and also the event could have been triggered w/o an effective owner change having been applied.
 .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.
  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.
  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).
