- New Element Behaviors Entity
- The Element Behaviors entity is introduced. The keywords *DEFINE_ELEMENT_DEATH_(OPTIONS) and *DEFINE_ELEMENT_EROSION_(OPTIONS), previously mapped to the Property entity, are now migrated to the Element Behaviors entity.
Enhancements

- Keywords to new entity migration
- The keywords *DEFINE_CONNECTION_PROPERTIES_(OPTIONS), previously mapped to the Property entity, are now migrated to the Material Behaviors entity.
