Bugfixes
- Bugfix - fix for Dead Player Culture not displaying correctly on the city screen
- Bugfix - AI civs that have World Class Units as one of their Free Units, will no longer receive multiple copies of the unit at higher difficulty levels
- Bugfix - spells with a gold cost will now have that cost scale by gamespeed
- Bugfix - human players can adopt religions despite any ReligionWeightModifiers (these settings are for AI use)
- Bugfix - fix for player losing their traits when an AvatarOfCivLeader unit upgrades (AvatarOfCivLeader should be transferred to the new unit)
- Bugfix - units are not allowed to upgrade if doing so would change their race (note: this does not affect spells and abilities, nor does it hinder religion-specific or alignment-specific upgrades)

- Bugfix - fix for issue #3601292 (conquered cities don't have the "avoid unhappy" button active)
- Bugfix - Feature Upgrading will now check that the feature being upgraded TO is allowed on the terrain (prevents New Forests from growing in Hell Terrain)
- Bugfix - Dynamic Civ Names - Civ name changes should occur less frequently
- Bugfix (?) - changed a couple of spots where PLAYEROPTION_SAFE_AUTOMATION was simply reducing the chance for automated workers to build over existing improvements rather than stopping that from happening all together (not sure if this takes care of the issue or not - let me know)
- Bugfix - Acheron will cast his spells again

I only have a vague idea of what breaks saves. Let me know if it is ok to merge it in for the next version or if I should wait.
...
I'll get around to making my own mod (I'm planning a total conversion).
