Polynesian caravel can't move into the ocean

Polynesian caravel is broken. I upgraded my triremes to caravel & now they could not move deep in the ocean. I am using the latest stable release.

Have you researched Astronomy?

edit: Never mind! I don't have the Polynesia DLC

All Polynesian units should be able to enter ocean immediately, regardless of Astronomy. Perhaps Thal can make a dummy Caravel that only Polynesia can build allowing it to move into ocean tiles if there's no easy workaround.

When a unit upgrades, I added a check in the upgrade code to manually remove the 'requires astronomy' penalty from Polynesian caravels:

PHP:

local needsAstronomy = GameInfo.UnitPromotions.PROMOTION_OCEAN_IMPASSABLE_UNTIL_ASTRONOMY.ID
if unit:IsHasPromotion(needsAstronomy) and Player_GetTrait(Players[unit:GetOwner()]).EmbarkedAllWater then
  unit:SetHasPromotion(needsAstronomy, false)
end

However, there is apparently some issue preventing the UpdatePromotions function from running. This is the same reason why people were getting duplicate scouts/warriors with the upgrade opportunity. I'll fix this when I have access to the game again.
