As usual posts any unusual changes/ bugs that you find in the latest live patch 1.4.X here.

Same goes with unexpected results in testing the new features.

Old 1.3.X undocumented changes can be found here.

Which you still didn't approve... It persists in the patch as well.

Loading Units with many abilities in Data Editor Module is much faster. Loading multiple rows in data editor is also faster.

Units with the set flag "projectile" can't have collision anymore (units pass through them regardless of your collision settings).
Workaround: Set the flag "always check collision".

Apply Force effects were changed, it seems. Units affected by them seem to travel a much larger distance.

Noticed this too. Apply Force has definitely been changed. The effects seem much more curvy and fluid, which often seems to end in rather stupid looking results.

Referencing"no dialog item" will result in an error.

There are many useless dialog error messages, which doesnt effect the game.

Reviving units via trigger malfunctions from time to time, respawning wrong unit types.

€ This seems to be the case for units based on another unit. Respawning causes the parent unit to be spawned.

€2 ...but not limited to it.

€3 nvm, they just made the Unit - Revive Type field functional; make sure to set that one up correctly.

Something was changed to ability charges, for some of my abilities they do not recharge properly anymore.

€ It seems, if the charges get used while still recharging, everything is fine, but if the charges reach full capacity, they just stop recharging afterwards.

€2 they changed the effects of the Time Start and Time Use fields for charge restorations. You basically need to use Time Use instead of Time Start now.
This basically broke all charged abilities with a recharge time, because it was essential to use a Time Use of 0 before, which now prevents recharging.

There's a new dialog item type called Movie and a new function Set Dialog Item Movie.

Doesn't really matter, since the function gives a "not authorized" error when used. Blizzard just does not want us playing movies in our maps ;(

One thing you can do, if you're stuck with no trigger solution at all, is to use the data editor. Pretty disgusting, but it could save your map. *Proceeds to use the data editor with utter horror*

PAINTEDPATHINGSAVEFAILED suggests your painted pathing causes problems. Did you try to remove your painted pathing?

It seems like they fixed my "after map crash" (loading another map after playing my diablo map used to crash the game).

@zenx1: Go Can you save the map without changing anything?
Maybe pasting new pathing layer everywhere and removing it again fixes the problem.
Does the problem exist for every map file you have which weren't compiled in 1.4? Do new maps have the same problem?
Did you try and save the map into another folder that isn't a sub folder of any folder created by your system (like C:\MySC2Maps\)?

Do you bother sending me the map? I could try to fix the problem, too.
Also, don't quit. I didn't quit when my map crashed everyone. Take a break and/or try to gather as many information you can about that error.

Very small issue but Nuke Drop and Nuke Seek sounds appear to be different (and suckier, naturlich), originals look like they're gone too.
