It's an optional extension of deprecated keyword:
deprecated("2.4", "use ModernFunction instead") int OldFunction();
deprecated("3.5", "use ModernVariable instead") int OldVariable;
Usage of such members will produce the following report:
Script warning, ":zscript.txt" line 123:
Accessing deprecated function OldFunction - deprecated since 2.4.0, use ModernFunction instead
Script warning, ":zscript.txt" line 456:
Accessing deprecated member variable OldVariable - deprecated since 3.5.0, use ModernVariable instead

This was one of that annoying old design mistakes where Doom and Heretic features were poorly merged together. The Heretic Gargoyle uses very similar coding but performs a subtly different action when actually hitting another actor. This different action was made the default, even for the Lost Soul.
It has now been changed that both monsters use their original action, being distinguished by an actor flag. For compatibility with custom definitions Heretic's behavior, which has been the default in ZDoom will be the preferred one. The one of the Lost Soul can be reactivated by a flag.
For now only with font-printed map names. Allowing this with titlepatches will require more work and an option to disable.

For the Doom IWADs the provided font looks almost identical to the characters used on the title patches. So, for any level name that got replaced in some language, it will now check if the retrieved name comes from the default table, and if not, ignore the title patch and print the name with the specified font.
This also required removing the 'en' label from the default table, because with this present, the text would always be picked from 'en' instead of 'default'. Since 'en' and 'default' had the same contents, in any English locale the 'default' table was never hit, so this won't make any difference for the texts being chosen.
Last but not least, wminfo has been made a local variable in G_DoCompleted. There were two places where this was accessed from outside the summary screen or its setup code, and both were incorrect.

With extended fonts much of the old code did not work anymore, this needed more precise checks for the sources of the printed texts.
Without the adjustments, just added GetMaxAscender for compatibility. (drfrag)

Add 'useowncoloradd_{top,mid,bottom}' sidedef properties to the UDMF
spec
Only use side's additive colors if 'useowncoloradd_(top|mid|bottom)' is
set.
Rename UseOwnColors flag to UseOwnSpecialColors
Add UseOwnAdditiveColor flag to side_t::part
Add EnableAdditiveColor to side_t
Add Side.EnableAdditiveColor to ZScript API
Sector.SetAdditiveColor actually called Sector.SetSpecialColor
Add use boolean property, used to determine whether or not to override the sector's additive wall colour with the side's additive colour.
The new specification is more flexible, and allows assigning additive
colors to individual parts of a sector (walls, sprites, flats) and even
individual parts of a side (top, middle, bottom)
Add AdditiveColors arrays to sector_t and side_t::part
Initialize AdditiveColors arrays to 0
Export AdditiveColors to ZScript
Save AdditiveColors in saved game files
Use colors from AdditiveColors arrays when setting the additive color
for the render state
Add code to parse the new UDMF additive color properties
Remove additive color slot from sector color/part enum
Add SetAdditiveColor to sector_t and side_t
Add GetAdditiveColor to side_t
Export new methods and additive color arrays to ZScript

With JIT enabled, an implicit test for null self pointer is added to generated code
This has no effect without JIT as VM verifies a pointer before calling a native method

* - Added support for monospacing alignment modes to HUDFont / BaseStatusBar.DrawString
* - added underlying type declaration for EMonospacing
* - replaced "#include v_video.h" with a declaration of EMonospacing
This deprecated CharAt and CharCodeAt for being unsuitable for text processing and in the case of CharCodeAt also for being buggy.
A new replacement, ByteAt has been added that reads a string byte by byte, as well as CodePointCount, which counts the amount of Unicode code points in a string and GetNextCodePoint which reads the string code point by code point.
Note that while this woll work as intended with the currently supported languages as a means to read single characters, there is no guarantee that this will remain so if Unicode support gets extended to things which break the "one code point == one character" assumption.
This also necessitated some character remapping in the console font to move the Windows-1252 extra characters to their proper Unicode code points.

Now it's no longer possible to manipulate TID hash from arbitrary location
For example, this prevents linking of destroyed object into the hash
TID member is still public but writing to it is limited to a few very specific cases like serialization and player traveling between levels

This had two different flags that were checked totally inconsistently, and one was not even saved.
Moved everything into a few subfunctions so that these checks do not have to be scattered all over the code.
