- CClient now inherits directly from CPrivilegedInfoCallback, like
IGameCallback did before. However CClient no longer needs dummy
implementation of IGameEventCallback
- CGObjectInstance hierarchy now uses CPrivilegedInfoCallback for
callback. Actual events can only be emitted in calls that receive
IGameEventCallback pointer, e.g. heroVisit
- CGameHandler now inherits directly from both CPrivilegedInfoCallback
and IGameEventCallback as it did before via IGameCallback
- CStackInstance::count is now private with accessor methods
- CStackInstance::experience renamed to totalExperience and now stores
total stack experience (multiplied by stack size) to reduce rounding
errors
- CStackInstance::totalExperience is now private with accessors methods
- stack experience is now automatically reallocated on stack management
- Removed buggy BulkSmartRebalanceStacks pack, that mostly duplicates
BulkRebalanceStacks
- Renamed BulkSmartSplitStack to BulkSplitAndRebalanceStack to drop
unclear "smart" in name
- Reworked split-and-rebalance logic to correctly reallocate stack
experience
- Replaced BattleSide namespace-enum with enum class
- Merged two different BattleSide enum's into one
- Merged BattlePerspective enum into BattleSide enum
- Changed all places that use integers to represent battle side to use
BattleSide enum
- Added BattleSideArray convenience wrapper for std::array that is
always 2-elements in size and allows access to its elements using
BattleSide enum

4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'identifier'
