Hey all,
New STABLE version inbound for a change! (Let's hope, but it should crash far less than the beta, if at all.)
We're still going to be using the new assertion and precondition error messages in future releases - they've caught several major bugs so far - and many issues reported on GitHub are fixed in this release, but I've temporarily set all of them to only appear when debugging for this release. I will undo this for the next beta version, 4.20, which I will release if no major issues are reported with 4.19 for a few days.
This is because it's been a while since the latest stable release and a lot of fixes were introduced, so it's only fair to let the rest of the community experience them.
Special thanks to @axatin and @azum4roll for a lot of bugfixing and continuing 4UC integration work, and to @balparmak for fixing the art icons (they were broken as part of an attempted compression in 4.18.4, but now that they're fixed it should reduce art asset size considerably, and therefore the number of lategame CTDs).

Changelog:
Code:
General
- Temporarily disabled almost all assertions and preconditions in the DLL for game stability
- Changed the new database remapper so that it includes only the tables that are actually referenced in the DLL, for maximum compatibility with modmods
- Improved pathfinder to avoid leaving units in dangerous places
- Set instant yields to only be logged when logging is enabled
AI
Diplomacy
- Voluntary Vassals no longer count as "conquests" for several Diplomacy AI functions, notably the warmongering threat override when a certain % of players have been conquered by you
- Razing cities no longer awards "We fought together against a common foe."
- Raised opinion penalty multiplier when the AI has accepted a demand from a player and is also bankrupt, or going bankrupt soon, to 3x (was 2x)
- Significantly improved AI handling of the Sanctions proposal
Should help a bit with the balance issues with this proposal
AI will not adopt the FRIENDLY approach towards you if you've currently proposed sanctions against them or vice versa
AI will end friendships if sanctions are currently proposed in either direction
There are a few exceptions to these rules if the AI proposed the sanctions (if you've recently liberated them or are a vassal), and none if the other player proposed the sanctions
Proposing or voting to sanction a player will now add a recent diplomatic actions penalty with that player and their friends and allies, and a bonus with that player's enemies
This also applies in reverse when proposing/voting to unsanction them
Bonus/penalty does not apply if AI wanted or contributed to the opposite outcome
If AI has proposed sanctions against you, they're a little bit less likely to declare war immediately
If AI has recently passed sanctions against you, they're more likely to declare war (to benefit from the lower warmonger penalties)
AI considers proposing/voting to sanction them a provocation, which greatly increases their hostility towards you
AI is more likely to denounce anyone they've proposed to sanction or vice versa
AI will not apply extra DECEPTIVE weight in certain situations where it can transition from DECEPTIVE to WAR if you've ever succeeded in sanctioning them
AI will not try to make trade demands of anyone except their vassals if sanctions have been proposed against them
AI will not try to make trade demands of a target who has sanctions proposed against them (unless the AI is that player's master)
AI alliance-making logic in approach selection now considers a current sanctions proposal as equivalent to being at war with an ally/enemy
AI alliance-making logic for key players now uses WorkWithWillingness and WorkAgainstWillingness flavors where applicable
AI can no longer be bribed to vote Yes on sanctioning a genuine friend/ally
AI can no longer be bribed to vote No on unsanctioning a genuine friend/ally
AI will not attempt to bribe others in this way either
Added a sanity check to block AI from proposing sanctions against themselves or genuine friends
Added extra scoring as well so the AI factors in current alliances and enemies when deciding to propose sanctions
