++Since these 'adversary' objects are now visualized and therefore distinguishable from enemies, several related changes were made for these objects to bring them more in line with how 'neutral' objects are handled (f.e. no automatic attacking of these objects by the player property anymore, no target selection when targeting the closest enemy, etc.). To reflect this, these objects are now returning 1 (neutral) as the relation status by the GetRelationStatus()/GetRelationStatus2() functions.
++If you rely on a handling where they are treated like enemies, please use the new GetRelationStatus3() //FFI function which returns the new range for these objects: 1 (meaning 'adversary' here with following relations having been shifted up).

 .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.

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.
