1) There are the usual script changes created by any major patch.
2) All script mods need to be updated, therefore unsupported script mods will simply be lost (until someone remakes them).
3) We need to develop a decompiler for the new python version in order to look at the game code.

I have been working hard on a completely new decompiler, and making good progress.
But I am not the only one working on making a decompiler work with the new python version.
Most script mods will, however, not need to have the decompiler to be updated. But without it it will be hard to make mods for the new features.
