DFHack 0.43.05-r2

Internals

• Rebuilding DFHack can be faster if nothing Git-related has changed
• Plugins can now hook Screen::readTile()
• Improved Lua compatibility with plugins that hook into GUI functions (like TWBT)
• Expanded focus strings for jobmanagement and workquota_condition viewscreens
• Gui::getAnyUnit(): added support for viewscreen_unitst,
  viewscreen_textviewerst, viewscreen_layer_unit_relationshipst
• Fixed (limited) keybinding support in PRINT_MODE:TEXT on macOS
• Added a new standardized Gui::refreshSidebar() function to fix behavior of
  some plugins on the lowest z-level
• New Buildings module functions: markedForRemoval(), getCageOccupants()
• Limited recursive command invocations to 20 to prevent crashes
• Added an onLoad.init-example file

Lua

• Improved C++ exception handling for some native functions that aren't direct
  wrappers around C++ functions (in this case, error messages could be nil and
  cause the Lua interpreter to quit)

• Added support for a key_pen option in Label widgets

• Fixed to_first argument to dfhack.screen.dismiss()

• Added optional map parameters to some screen functions

• Exposed some more functions to Lua:

• Added a key option to EditField and FilteredList widgets

• Fixed an issue preventing repeatUtil.cancel() from working when called
  from the callback

Ruby

• Fixed a crash when creating new instances of DF virtual classes (e.g. fixes a
  lever crash)
• Ruby scripts can now be loaded from any script paths specified (from script-
  paths.txt or registered through the Lua API)
• unit_find() now uses Gui::getSelectedUnit() and works in more places
  (e.g. exterminate now works from more screens, like command-prompt)
