GDL Notice: New 'match-transport-side' Unit Poperty

Hello Xconq Game Designers,

   There will be a new unit property in the next prerelease. This is 
'match-transport-side' and it is a boolean. Prior to the addition of 
this property, capture of occupants could only be accomplished by 
setting both 'acp-to-capture' and 'capture-chance' to something greater 
than 0 (in combat model 0), even though the ACP was never actually 
expended to capture the occupants (I regard this behavior as a bug, but 
it is one to save for another day, __another day when I feel like 
rewriting the capture code).
   If 'match-transport-side' is set to 'true' for an unit type, then an 
occupant in a captured transport will automatically attempt to change to 
the captured side (without needing to be explicitly captured itself). If 
'match-transport-side' is set to 'false', then the existing behavior is 
in effect, __namely, you will need to set both 'acp-to-capture' and 
'capture-chance' for capture of occupants to work.

   Regards,
     Eric
