16 16  Please note that UI modding must be considered **unstable** in the current version. While we are working hard to get the UI modding integration into a stable state, we might have to introduce larger backwards incompatibilities in the following patches. This means that you might have to modify any mod using UI modding capabilities to a larger extend to keep it compatible with certain patches. Still, we are doing our best not to unnecessarily break things for modders and certainly will announce such changes on this page here.

However, the exact cases were inconsistent and also the event could have been triggered w/o an effective owner change having been applied.
85 +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.
86 +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.
87 +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).
