Hey all,

I'm releasing dev 13.

Here's the list of changes:
27 Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when using specific skills on empty tiles. These skills targetted a tile but caused effects on units. 28 Added the ability to configure many of the game's keys using Keys.config.
29 Added the no_drop_items_on_death flag for units.
30 Hidden points will no longer have start or end of turn changes announced.
31 Added the unit after_create event for scripters.
32 Changed how dictionaries are accessed from javascript to support adding or removing keys from them. 33 Updated dictionaries in javascript so scripters no longer need to prepare strings for indexing before using them as keys. The engine now handles that itself.
34 Added the shared.GetStorage() method for scripters.
35 Made it so the game gets a different map downloads file based on whether it is a dev or stable version.

The Keys.Config file is a cool feature if you've ever wished you could remap the keys. And 35 is cool since this dev version will now have all the map packs on the map packs page available for download while the stable version can be limited to map packs that are deemed stable.

Craig, 34 is a sort of replacement for global.
We discussed the problems with global not persisting C# objects like units, this actually gives you a C# dictionary that will have no problem persisting those objects between saving and loading games. It requires your name to give you the dictionary so that your saved variables will never conflict with any other scripters.
