v13.0.8+210929 new stable version for patrons & Poll for what's next

It has been almost a year since the previous stable release, so it is high time for another one! Content updates have been behind ever since the decisive poll to push for magic item support before adding more content, which was continued with me taking time off for my house and soon after again with my daughter being born. I’m very happy to announce that this great content catchup has finally come to an end.

This stable release uses a slightly different way of numbering its version than the previous stable release. Previously, there was a different minor version between the free and the paid/Patreon version. This will no longer be the case going forward. Instead, the version number (13.0.8) will stay the same, but the build number (every after the "+", so "210929" for this release) will only be there for the Patreon version. The build number is nothing more than the date of the pre-loaded content scripts. This way I can update the content without having to make a new version of the sheet.

The previous poll made it pretty clear that very few of you are interested in me updating the adventure logsheet, which was the next phase I had planned. Thus, now I'm looking for another 'next step' for MPMB's Character Record Sheets. Please vote on the poll below how you would like me to proceed. My question for you today is:

Would you rather have me adapt the missing Unearthed Arcana (UA) content or leave them be and work on adding new functionality to the sheet?

Unfortunately, not all Unearthed Arcana content has made it into the sheet. The stuff that is still missing, are those articles that:

• have been completely superseded by content that has since been released in a book (e.g. Unearthed Arcana 2020: Spells and Magic Tattoos)
• or are a lot of work and have been completely reworked for publication (e.g. Unearthed Arcana 2020: Psionic Options Revisited)
• or are a lot of work and have been scraped all together and will never see official publication (e.g. Unearthed Arcana 2021: Mages of Strixhaven)

I think the first one of these is not very interesting to revisit, as it is stuff that is already available in the sheet, but just as its (marginally different) playtest version.
However, the second and third missing content might be interesting to some of you.

Content updates will still continue when anything new is published by WotC, this poll is just about past UA articles that have been skipped.

Full list of changes since v13.0.7-beta3 from 6 July 2021:

• New content: all magic items (not artifacts) from Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, Mythic Odysseys of Theros, Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, Candlekeep Mysteries, and Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft
• New content: The Wild Beyond the Witchlight
• New content: Fizban's Treasury of Dragons (what’s available as a preview so far)
• New content: Unearthed Arcana: Subclasses, Part 5
• New content: Unearthed Arcana: Draconic Options
• New content: Adventure with Muk (Dankwood Goblin race)
• New content: One Grung Above (Grung race)
• Made all Extra Life content to be excluded by default
• Added a way for calcChanges objects to have a priority. This is most useful for the calcChagnes.atkAdd attribute, where order does very much matter (e.g. calculate bonus critical die after martial arts changed the die, not before)
• Added support for automatically converting the unit “quart” into metric (simplified to 1 quart = 1 litre)
• Added the `sortname` property to magic items so that the menu is a bit easier to navigate
• Added a way for a feature to increase the maximum for an ability score dynamically (e.g. +2) instead of just setting a new maximum
• Added a way for a feature to indicate that the dynamically increased maximum ability score only applies if the bonus added by the same feature reaches that maximum (e.g. for items that say “increase by 2 up to 22”)
• Added a way for a feature to add bonus spells to another spellcasting source (e.g. a magic item adding spells to the spellbook of a wizard) with the new `spellcastingBonusElsewhere` attribute
• Added a way for a spellcasting feature to use the same spellcasting ability and dynamic spellcasting bonuses as another spellcasting feature (e.g. a magic item casting spells as an artificer) using the `spellcastingAbility` attribute. The dynamic modifiers added by other features (e.g. +1 to DCs magic item) will also be applied to a feature ‘linked’ like this
• Added a way for anything to add a generic “remark” to the changes pop-up dialog
• Added a way to allow spells gained from magic items to retain their components, or for spells gained from some other feature to loose their components as a magic item, with the `magicItemComponents` attribute
• Added a way to see the things changing the spell automations on the spell sheet page (e.g. feature adding bonus damage) to the Spell Options menu
• Added several magic item categories for selecting an item in the magic item line menu
• Added support for adding/removing dice notation to the `addMod` attribute (e.g. add “1d6”)
• Added support for changing the `useSpellMod` attribute with calcChanges.atkCalc
• Changed the `toNotesPage` attribute to now also show the name of the parent in the changes dialog, so that it is no longer always necessary to define the `popupName` sub-attribute
• Changed the page column on the spell sheet to show the abbreviation instead of a page number for Unearthed Arcana sources, as their page number is less interesting than knowing which article the spell is from
• Changed the artificer icon from to the one from Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything
• Fixed an issue with importing from a beta version not bringing along the magic items
• Fixed spell scrolls as per the DMG errata to have its spells require all components except material components instead of requiring no components at all
• Fixed headers on the spell sheet showing the “to prepare”-box even when they shouldn’t, after a line was inserted or deleted above it
• Fixed the `allowUpCasting` attribute not working if only included in the parent object (and not in `spellcastingBonus`)
• Many minor textual and logical fixes (thanks to everybody who reported errors and typos on Discord, especially @Ratatoskr#3896)
