** Skills are no longer designated via a comma-separated attribute called Skills; now there is a <skills> element that can contain <skill Name="Skill_PowerName" /> elements, as well as <removeskill Name="Skill_PowerName" /> elements.
** Reputations are no longer designated via a comma-and-colon-separated attribute called Reputation; now there is a <reputations> element that can contain <reputation With="Faction" Value="100" /> elements.
** Save modifiers are no longer designated via the SaveModifierVs and SaveModifierAmount attributes; now there is a <savemodifiers> element that can contain <savemodifier Vs="Stun,Poison" Amount="1" /> elements.
** The old Skills, Reputation, SaveModifierVs, and SaveModifierAmount attributes are still supported for compatibility, but a warning will be issued in the game output log when they're loaded, and mods should be ported to the new mechanism.
** Genotypes.xml and Subtypes.xml now support self-closing XML tags, like <tag />.
** The <chargeninfo> element on subtypes is no longer used.  Most subtype chargen information is automatically generated.  Arbitrary text that should be added can be placed in <extrainfo>Some text to show.</extrainfo> elements.  <removeextrainfo></removeextrainfo> elements can also be used to remove extra info items.  (<chargeninfo> is still used on genotypes.)
