69 -//Actions and conditions which use the 'checkoperational' filter now behave differently. Instead of changing how 'class' and 'exactclass' behave, checkoperational == true adds an additional filter for the components being of state operational, equivalent to state="componentstate.operational". This is implicitly enabled in action elements (e.g. <find_.../>) or condition elements (e.g. <count_...>), meaning that find_ship will only find operational ships. Using such actions/conditions with checkoperational="false" will include non-operational components such as wrecked and constructions. Existing uses may find that results now exclude non-operational components.//
