- new property: affinity (might/magic) since in mods it is impossible to
rely on odd/even numeric indexes
- property commander is now part of hero class
- town hall slots now use string ID's
- converted building requirements to new format
- "upgrades" property from buildings now uses string ID's
- several fixes for improved support of alternative creatures

Old mods should still work but will produce error messages during
validation

outdated mods.
- generic support for logical expressions that consist from and/or/not
operators.
- string ID's for buidings are now actually used.
compiled first.
- changed format of modSettings.json, VCMI should properly update file
on the first run.
- implemented property "defaultTavern" that acts as default value for
"tavern" entry in hero class and town formats.
- found situation where JsonNode parser won't report warning: comma after last element in arrays or objects. Fixed this in our config files but parser change is disabled for now due to huge number of warnings from mods.

- moved wog creatures into wog mod

- loading of all objects (including H3 objects) will be directed by mod handlers
- common base for all handlers accessible from mod system (IHanderBase)
- json format changes: use struct with string ID's instead of vector
- fixed some gcc/clang errors and warnings
- fixed several cases of memory leaks and invalid memory access (mostly related to usage of bonus system and/or identifiers resolution)
Note that right now loading is much slower than before due to excessive json validation (or not fast enough validator)
- a lot of changes in configs;
- - update to creature format - abilities are now json structure
- - multiple bugfixes revealed by validation
- made schemas a bit more strict
- creatures data can be replaced via mods
- it is possible to validate vcmi configs using schemas (disabled)
- filesystem initialization works in conjuction with modHandler
- (config) split buildings.json in multiple files in "factions" directory
- (mods) merged filesystem.json and config/mod.json into mod.json
