You can compare the new version with the previous one with some software(Notepad++ freeware):

PS: it’s not very obvious

I would like a list og which unit types got their stats changed in 9.06/07.
I don't need the detailed stat changes, just the name of the units.
This should help any modders in updating their units.csv files.

What I found with Notepad++:
- obvious changes : 352, 226, 150,151, 2211, 2212, 2216, 2217
- possible changes(?) : 4750, 4738, 4746, 4714

[Erik2]

Thanks, terminator.
Saved it in a Notepad++ file

Thanks for the prompt turnaround on this update.

I don't check the forums that much and perhaps others do not either - - - maybe we should be able to sign up for notifications regarding an update of a game we own ... not all notifications of anything rather just a notification in the event a new update occurs .. I am thinking any new update any owner of a game would like to know its out there ....

Utter non-sequitur — I hereby issue myself a warning to avoid this practice in the future — but I must share my joy over a discovery. I will keep it short.

• For many years, my favorite text editor: NoteTab Pro.
• Problems: Has not been updated since 2014; lacks certain capabilities such as the one that terminator mentioned.
• Single, seemingly irreplaceable benefit: Paste Board feature that captures multiple clipboard entries from any application.

As a result of this mention of Notepad++, decided to try it once more. Surely somebody makes a Notepad++ plug-in to replicate the Paste Board feature?

• Searched in vain; it turns out that there is a reason for this!
• By dumb luck, ran across somebody mentioning Edit > Clipboard History in Notepad++ in conjunction with my search.
• Had seen this feature but THOUGHT IT APPLIED ONLY TO CLIPBOARD ENTRIES WITHIN NOTEPAD++.
• The fellow said, turn this feature on and LEAVE NOTEPAD++ OPEN while interacting with, and copying text in, other applications.
• Voilà! Multi-application Paste Board. There was no plug-in because the feature is built-in to Notepad++.

By the way, Erik and others, the Compare function in Notepad++ is accessed via a built-in plug-in.

In the program menu, Plugins > Plugins Admin > Available tab; check Compare; click Install:

Continue:

Now Compare is in the Installed tab (along with two other handy built-in plug-ins: Customize Toolbar and MenuIcons, that I installed previously):

And now Compare appears on the Plugins menu; first have the two files to be compared opened, then select Compare:

Here is a simple example; the file on the left is the original Variables.txt file; the one on the right is my altered file; highlighted are the settings that I changed in my altered Variables.txt to allow for greater screen zoom values:

The optional Compare NavBar on the right is not necessary with a short text file like this one but comes in handy for highlighting, and navigating to, lines that the program has detected changes in its comparison.

[bru888]

Incidentally, the use of the Compare tool provided my first inclination that this issue had been addressed. My thanks go to the developer(s) for their time and effort on this.

[GabeKnight]

Thanks for the nice notepad tutorial. I'll try it.

Usually I use an online tool for that: https://text-compare.com/

[Shards]

I'm a SublimeText user for these sort of jobs: https://www.sublimetext.com/

And Visual Studio for anything with a codey flavour (e.g. XML).

Also, Copy buffer is built into Windows 10. Hit Win+V to get a copy buffer of your most recent Ctrl-C's!

That Notepad++ compare looks wonderfully lightweight though, so might give that a go too!

[gunny]

I'm glad among other things the pin text are working woo hoo ... Eisenhower keept asking me what the situation is and I could not give him a complete answer as I did not have the correct info on the map where the pins are but now it works woo hoo !!!

I'd noticed the unit rename feature was fixed. That was a very irritating bug since it made it much harder to identify your core units versus non-core.

Bah. It only took 10 days or so but the bloom is off the rose. For MOST text management tasks, NoteTab Pro is simpler, easier, and more versatile.

• NoteTab Pro's Paste Board, for example, compiles clipboard data in one tab and does not require cherry-picking and double-clicking each item from Notepad++'s Clipboard History to transfer it to the tab.

• NoteTab Pro has a better toolbar in which almost every function can be added because it has an icon. The toolbar in Notepad++ is limited and rudimentary. It can be edited but the lack of icons for many features means you are hunting through menus for things like File, Save As.

• NoteTab Pro provides for quick editing of the very handy right-click context menu. Notepad++ requires you to edit an XML file, which I did but it was tough.

• NoteTab Pro has a robust Favorite file feature, while Notepad++ only offers this with somebody's plug-in that limits to 5 favorites and no editing feature.

• NoteTab Pro has certain built-in conveniences, such as a Copy All button; one click instead of hunting for Notepad++'s Select All, then Copy buttons. There were a few other things that I was missing with Notepad++, such as the Rename Document and Second Window (side-by-side) buttons.

Now, to give Notepad++ its due, it obviously outclasses NoteTab Pro for writing code. Tons and tons of features are in Notepad++ in that regard. None of which are useful to me.

This leaves the original dilemma of file comparison which NoteTab Pro does not do. A forum member recommended an online tool, which works well for text files. I found a better one, though: https://www.textcompare.org/. The tools are better on this site, plus there is a module for comparing CSV files in a better manner than using a simple TXT file comparison.

Therefore, who cares if NoteTab Pro has not been updated since 2014? It still works fine. For comparing old and new OOB language and data files, I will use https://www.textcompare.org/.

EDIT: I am being remiss for omitting this: NoteTab Pro will set you back $39.95 while Notepad++ is free, which makes Notepad++ fabulous in that respect. I purchased NoteTab Pro several years ago, so going back to it is not going to set me back any further.

There is a NoteTab Light version which is free; here is the NoteTab version Text Editing comparison chart (not shown: Web Development and Advanced Features).

Are these the same updates for the console version ? There was an update on 11/10 (I’m on Xbox ) and I’m trying to find patch notes

[terminator]

You can test the first mission of Allies Resurgent on Xbox One...

[malic]

Do these updates carry over to the console versions? I would like to know also.
