30 -**IMPORTANT**: The newly created .jcs files will be incompatible with earlier versions of the game. If you're using the Steam Workshop you can set version support by visiting the item history page and using the UI to configure which versions of the game work for each version of your Workshop item. That way you can make a version for 8.00 and earlier, and one for 9.00 and later.

As a consequence, certain relations that were previously between 25 and 28 (rounded down) may have gained +1 in the UI, i.e. they are now displayed as 26 instead of 25, etc. For consistency, the negative range between -1.0 and -0.32 has been adjusted analogously (-0.5 is now displayed as -27).

674 674  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.
675 675  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.
676 676  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).
