+ * \li AIVehicle::SkipToVehicleOrder, use AIOrder::SkipToOrder instead
+ * \li AIWaypoint::WAYPOINT_INVALID, use AIBaseStation::STATION_INVALID instead
+ *
+ * Other changes:
+ * \li The GetName / SetName / GetLocation functions were moved from AIStation
+ *     and AIWaypoint to AIBaseStation, but you can still use AIStation.GetName
+ *     as before
+ * \li The GetConstructionDate function was moved from AIStation to
+ *     AIBaseStation, but can still be used as AIStation.GetConstructionDate
+ * \li WaypointID was replaced by StationID. All WaypointIDs from previous
+ *     savegames are invalid. Use STATION_INVALID instead of WAYPOINT_INVALID
+ * \li AIWaypointList constructor now needs a WaypointType similiar to AIStationList,
+ *     it can also handle buoys.
+ * \li AIVehicleList_Station now also works for waypoints
+ * \li Stations can be build over rail without signals that is in the right
+ *     direction for the to-be built station. It will also convert the rail if
+ *     the station's rail type supports the old type.
+ * \li GetAPIVersion() was added as function to info.nut. If it does not exist
+ *     API version 0.7 is assumed. This function should return the major and
+ *     minor number of the stable version of the API the AI is written against.
+ *     For 0.7.2 that would be 0.7, for 1.1.3 it would be 1.1, etc.
+ * \li The subsidy logic has changed. Subsidy is now awarded when cargo
+ *     originating from subsidy source is delivered to station that has subsidy
+ *     destination it its catchment area. One industry tile or one town house
+ *     is enough as long as station accepts the cargo. Awarded subsidies are no
+ *     longer bound to stations used for first delivery, any station can be
+ *     used for loading and unloading as long as cargo is transfered from
+ *     source to destination.
+ * \li Make AIEngine:CanRefitCargo() not report refittability to mail by
+ *     default for aircraft. It is not necessarily true. This means that even
+ *     if the aircraft can carry mail (as secondary cargo) it does not return
+ *     true if the aircraft cannot carry it as its only cargo.
+ * \li Improve behaviour of AIEngine::GetCargoType(), AIEventEnginePreview::GetCargoType()
+ *     and AIEngine::CanRefitCargo() for articulated vehicles. For
+ *     CanRefitCargo true is returned if at least one part can be refitted.
+ *     For GetCargoType the first most used cargo type is returned.
+ * \li AIIndustryType::GetConstructionCost() now returns -1 if the industry is
+ *     neither buildable nor prospectable.
+ * \li AIEngine::IsValidEngine will now return true if you have at least one
+ *     vehicle of that type in your company, regardless if it's still buildable
+ *     or not. AIEngine::IsBuildable returns only true when you can actually
+ *     build an engine.
+ * \li AITile::GetCargoProduction will now return the number of producers,
+ *     including houses instead the number of producing tiles. This means that
+ *     also industries that do not have a tile within the radius, but where
+ *     the search bounding box and the industry's bounding box intersect, are
+ *     counted. Previously these industries (and their cargos), although they
+ *     produced cargo for a station at the given location, were not returned.
+ * \li AIRail::BuildRail will now fail completely if there is an obstacle
+ *     between the begin and end, instead of building up to the obstacle and
+ *     returning that everything went okay.
+ * \li Orders for buoys are now waypoint orders, i.e. instead of using the
+ *     station orders for buoys one has to use waypoint orders.
+ * \li Autoreplaces can now also be set for the default group via AIGroup.
+ *
+ * \b 0.7.5
+ *
+ * No changes
+ *
+ * \b 0.7.4
+ *
+ * No changes
+ *
+ * \b 0.7.3
+ *
+ * API additions:
+ * \li AIAbstractList::SORT_ASCENDING
+ * \li AIAbstractList::SORT_DESCENDING
+ * \li AIAirport::IsAirportInformationAvailable
+ * \li AICompany::GetPresidentGender
+ * \li AICompany::SetPresidentGender
+ * \li AIEngine::GetDesignDate
+ * \li AIStation::GetConstructionDate
+ *
+ * Other changes:
+ * \li AIs are now killed when they execute a DoCommand or Sleep at a time
+ *     they are not allowed to do so.
+ * \li When the API requests a string as parameter you can give every squirrel
+ *     type and it will be converted to a string
+ * \li AIs can create subclasses of API classes and use API constants as part
+ *     of their own constants
+ *
+ * \b 0.7.2
+ *
+ * API additions:
+ * \li AIVehicle::GetReliability
+ *
+ * Other changes:
+ * \li DoCommands and sleeps in call, acall, pcall and valuators are disallowed
+ *
+ * \b 0.7.1
+ *
+ * API additions:
+ * \li AIAirport::GetPrice
+ * \li AIController::GetVersion
+ * \li AIOrder::AIOF_DEPOT_FLAGS
+ * \li AIOrder::AIOF_STOP_IN_DEPOT
+ * \li AIOrder::IsCurrentOrderPartOfOrderList
+ * \li AIOrder::IsGotoDepotOrder
+ * \li AIOrder::IsGotoStationOrder
+ * \li AIOrder::IsGotoWaypointOrder
+ * \li AISignList
+ * \li AITile::CORNER_[WSEN]
+ * \li AITile::ERR_AREA_ALREADY_FLAT
+ * \li AITile::ERR_EXCAVATION_WOULD_DAMAGE
+ * \li AITile::GetCornerHeight
+ * \li AITile::GetMaxHeight
+ * \li AITile::GetMinHeight
+ * \li AIVehicle::SendVehicleToDepotForServicing
+ *
+ * Other changes:
+ * \li GetURL() was added as optional function to info.nut
+ * \li UseAsRandomAI() was added as optional function to info.nut
+ * \li A limit was introduced on the time the AI spends in the constructor and Load function
+ *
+ * \b 0.7.0
+ * \li First stable release with the NoAI framework.
