Recent Fixes for Map Makers

2026-10-20

Dear map makers,

(intended audience: map makers using Gridarta, especially for Crossfire)

A round-up of smaller fixes from the last year and a half that you may have
run into:

1. Crossfire: the Suspicious msg value map validator no longer complains about
   @identify in msg..endmsg blocks (2026-02-09), so objects that use it in
   their message text do not show up as false warnings anymore.
2. Paths containing '\' characters (as in Windows paths) are now saved and
   restored correctly by the Settings dialog (2025-03-29).
3. The Windows installer handles install folders with spaces in their names
   when it removes a previous version (2026-10-20). Together with the silent
   uninstall fix, upgrading to a newer CrossfireEditor installer no longer
   stops at the old uninstaller.

All three fixes are in the current development version. Fixes 1 and 2 are
also in the CrossfireEditor snapshot releases built since then; fix 3 will be
in the next Windows installer snapshot.
