Here's a preview of the release notes for the upcoming public beta release:
V1.01.19 – 22 January 2016
• New Features and Rule Changes
1. Hooked Show Air Directive Target toggle functionality (and button on top menu) to show NO AD targets/All AD targets/Only active ADs.
2. Added HQ unit dispersion factor, which is reducing amount of squads and attached units can be targeted and HQ's flak fire ability. Dispersion factor depends on the level of HQ and gets doubled up when it is within 5 hexes of an enemy ground unit.
3. Added freight level for national supply source depot type. This is the amount of freight that the national supply depot will begin with at the start of each logistics phase. If left as 0 in the editor, then it will start with 1 million freight each turn. This will appear as Depot Freight Level in the rollover text for the depot hex.
4. Increased air group limit which can be selected for air transport missions. This was preventing some airdrops of very large units when lots of small transport groups were available.
5. Low level air HQs with no air doctrine entry will try to use higher HQ air doctrine.
6. Modified air doctrine structure to use dynamic data.
7. Slightly increased air combat fatigue at night
8. Reduced NF escort efficiency
9. Adjusted night combat intensity
10. Increased the chance that Axis NF will attack escorting Allied NF
11. Adjusted air base repair/expansion code, so it will allow some reduced repairs/expansion, even if there is not 100% of required supplies. Reduced air base expansion rate from size 2 to 3.
12. Added more verbose error code display when game fails to load a save.
13. Editor - Fixed city CSV export/import
14. Added new data elements to the unit and group CSV import/export
• Bug Fixes
1. Amphibious HQs are not blocking enemy supply lines through their hex and adjacent hexes (for the purposes of isolating enemy units) as they should. Fixed.
2. Italian ADs are not cleared after surrender. Fixed.
3. Fixed interdiction hex selection bug (frontier hexes).
4. Some art files are not loading correctly (missing white pixels). Fixed.
5. Fixed air doctrine init script.
6. AD may not get executed due to the bad air group list. Fixed.
7. Air doctrine weather and intensity values are not copied. Fixed.
8. Fixed potential crash if air hq's air doctrine could not be found. Fixed.
9. AD can switch to interdiction attacks even when valid other type targets exists. Fixed.
10. Allow German-Italian Panzer Army HQ in Africa to have German leaders (Rommel bug).
11. Groups from lower level air HQs reassigned from parent air HQ air directives. Fixed.
12. Fixed supply shipment by truck to cities located off rail, due to which air base repair/expansion can get stuck.
13. Fixed the potential crash due to an illegal access of the battle structure.
14. Fixed bug in the para combat code that could cause strange things to happen to the airbase in the combat hex (and potentially other issues).
15. Fixed bug in Multiplayer when it doesn't translate correctly server string due to the double quotes in the server message.
16. Fixed air doctrine function (possible CTD).
17. Fixed possible corruption when merging ground units.
18. Multiplayer Game. Fixed bug when it doesn't translate correctly server string due to the double quotes in the server message.
19. Air execution detail settings are reset by AI. Fixed.
20. Fixed bug when expanding air hq list in air navigation panel.
• Data and Scenario Changes
1. Updated Westwall – Made sure Belgian and Dutch Bdes were motorized, and made some changes so German replacement pilots would flow to the fighter arm.

3. General updates to 1943, 44 (May Start), 44 (D-Day Start) and 45 campaigns as well as Bulge to the Rhine.
