Added: HitZoneContainerComponent.GetAllHitZonesInHierachy returns hitzones contained on that hitzone container and its children
Added: DamageManagerComponent::FilterContact used to discard contacts that don't meet the requirements

Added: M23 ammobelt UVs are animated by the SCR_AnimatedBeltComponent
Added: Methods to SCR_Enum for retrieving next and previous enum values even from modded enums

Added: RigidBody component template in Ammo_Rocket_Base.et, same GUID as Ammo_Rocket_PG7VM.et
Added: RigidBody component template in Ammo_GrenadeLauncher_Base.et, same GUID as Ammo/Ammo_Grenade_HE_VOG25.et
Added: SCR_CharacterControllerComponent.ComputeHitReaction in script, so the hit effects can be customized
Added: New logic has been added to editable entity components to allow for Variant of prefabs when a prefab is spawned (by editor or, for example, as a player character)
This means that Characters can have random variants. It can even be set up to ignore the original prefab, such as in the randomized characters that can be placed in Game Master. Additionally, the variant randomization is not limited to characters. Any editable entity can be randomized, though by default, they are not as it is more performance-heavy. When creating a composition, one can add entities with variants to the composition; running the "Create / Update selected editable entity" tool will automatically tick true the "Randomize Variants" bool on the EditorLinkComponent. Every entity in the composition is checked to see if it has a variant. Randomization of entity variants when spawning an entity can be achieved with the new variant of the GetGame().SpawnEntityPrefab() function.
Added: Functionality of placeable items that can also be attached to other objects (e.g. check M112 explosive charge)
Added: Better visual feedback when it's not possible to insert an item into a storage.

Added: Turrets can now use grass flatten components
Added: Script API GarbageSystem.GetTrackedEntities() for modders.
Added: Density and penetration resistance of material's ballistic info affects damage output - the higher, the less damage is dealt
Added: Script callback for light state changes in light manager
Added: Ballistic table generation config, where we can change the generation process; it still works the same if no config is used for the generation
Added: Now you can also specify some init speed coeffs for which you want to generate precise data, so they are not interpolated.
Added: Exposed precision parameters to the Ballistic table generation config. Tweaking them can prevent huge sizes of ballistic tables or increase precision if needed
Added: TurretControllerComponent API for ADS states: SetWeaponADS, SetWeaponADSInput, GetWeaponADSInput
Added: Vehicles - Shifting RPM curves in car controller debug
Added: Ability to change arsenal game mode allowing items to be available in specific game modes. Game Master arsenal is unrestricted, and all items are available

Changed: Weapon obstruction parameters were changed so they allow to control new 3-phase approach
Changed: Disabled supplies usage for the MPTest world
Changed: SCR_ArsenalManagerComponent::ARSENALLOADOUT_COMPONENTS_TO_CHECK variable is now filled by SCR_ArsenalManagerComponent::GetArsenalLoadoutComponentsToCheck method. This makes this part of the code more moddable

Changed: Inventory layouts have been reworked, and their scripts have been updated accordingly
Changed: User Action - Added default compartment definition (value 0 which equals to default value for driver/pilot compartment) to config files for light user actions
Changed: Gadgets - In SCR_FlashlightComponent renamed m_LenseArray to m_aLenseArray so prefabs that use this functionality will need to be updated
Changed: Gadgets - Gadgets that are attached to SCR_EquipmentStorageSlot will be informed when that slot occlusion changes by triggering SCR_GadgetComponent.OnSlotOccludedStateChanged (bool occluded)
Changed: Inventory - Visible storage slots have to disable UseVirtualInventoryReplication (ref: check FlashlightSlot in Jacket_M70_base prefab)
Changed: Base Game mode now has all components to have arsenals working in the world. This might cause duplicate components if the components were added manually
Changed: Added Explosion damage and changed config used by explosion impulse effect in Warhead_Shell_HE.et
Changed: Weapons - Turrets ADS camera position prefers SightComponent's "Sight Position" over now obsolete TurretComponent "Camera Ads Attachment"
Changed: Gadgets - Marked in SCR_GadgetComponent method CanBeToggled as obsolete since it will be replaced by GetUseMask

Changed: Damage diags to see HitZone health has been moved to GameCode->Damage->Type of damage info
Fixed: Damage - SCR_DamagePassRule ignored root damage manager if hitzone struck was already in root damage manager
Fixed: Entity catalogs of the same type now merge correctly on init

Fixed: DamageManagerComponent OnFrame isn't called when activated
Fixed: CharacterControllerComponent SetWeaponNoFireTime was not functional
Removed: Having DamageManagerComponent::EOnContact exposed to script could result in too many calls and performance issues.
Removed: Damage - SCR_DamagePassRule no longer supports damage over time
Removed: Damage - SR_DestructibleHitzone attribute m_fPassDamageToParentScale is obsolete and is no longer supported
Removed: HitRegManager.et, HitRegistrationManager.c, and all references in the layers for the worlds
Removed: Optics - Unsupported attributes of SCR_2DOpticsComponent and SCR_2DSightsComponent
Removed: CharacterInputContext::SetVehicleCompartment, ::GetVehicleCompartment, ::SetVehicleAction, ::GetVehicleAction. To get the compartment character, use CompartmentAccessComponent
