-=== Python2 removal complete ===
+=== Python2 Removal Complete ===
 All tools that were written in Python2 have now been ported to Python3, or removed if they seemed obsolete.
-=== Build report ===
+=== Build Report ===
 The build report (which is very useful to us and should be included in all reports of bugs and other issues!) now additionally contains information on the monitor, sound configuration, and all installed add-ons.
-=== Timestamps on replay file names ===
+=== Timestamps On Replay File Names ===
 The date and time is now added to the file name of replays. This will avoid needing to manually enter a different file name after playing the same scenario multiple times.
-=== Eclipse UMC plugin deprecated ===
+=== Eclipse UMC Plugin Deprecated ===
 The Eclipse plugin for UMC (User Made Content) is now formally deprecated, though it has effectively been unsupported for a few years now. Anyone who is still using this plugin should instead use other supported editors such as Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code.

 Previously, when Add-on A depended on Add-on B and both add-ons needed to be updated, Add-on B would be downloaded by the in-game add-on manager twice.  This has now been fixed, so that Add-on B will only be downloaded once.
-=== Creating a game when a map contains an invalid terrain ===
+=== Creating a Game When a Map Contains an Invalid Terrain ===
 When trying to create a game when one of the maps or scenarios used an invalid or unknown terrain, Wesnoth would crash. This has been fixed and Wesnoth now will correctly show an error when selecting the map with the bad terrain instead of crashing.

-=== Handling of high resolution monitors ===
+=== Handling of High Resolution Monitors ===
 For screens that have a higher resolution, such as 4K monitors, text would previously be displayed far smaller than it should have been. This has been partially fixed, and most text should now be displayed at a more normal size.

 The editor-generated .cfg files can be thought of as an extended format for map files. It’s possible to create a separate .cfg file with hand-edited WML, and then load the editor-generated file with ''[scenario]map_file=example.cfg''. Support for this requires some bug-fixes that were added in this release.

 An issue dating back to version 1.13.13 was found in the game’s graphics engine that would result in large memory leaks over time, particularly evident after performing a few save-reloading or game initialization (Campaign mode, Multiplayer, Map Editor) cycles. On Windows and other systems running 32-bit builds of the game, this could eventually result in a game session crashing due to reaching platform-mandated memory limits. Furthermore, either 32-bit or 64-bit systems with small amounts of available RAM could perceive substantial performance degradation during long game sessions, or even crashes in other running software.
-=== Scenario configuration files created by the scenario editor ===
+=== Scenario Files Created by the Scenario Editor ===
 The scenario editor creates .cfg files; but if you edit that .cfg by hand and then use the scenario editor again, the editor will completely rewrite it, likely removing any hand-edited WML. A comment warning about this is now added at the top of these .cfg files.
