Items
- Items have been revamped with new level tables. Items now have a level
  from 1 to 8, along with one of several categories. Items of levels 1 to 6
  can be charged items, permanent items, or powerups. Items of level 7 or
  higher are artifacts. 
  Examples: Wand of Lightning Shield (charged), Stone Token (charged), Ring
  of Protection +2 (permanent), Tome of Strength +2 (powerup), Mask of Death
  (artifact).
- You can now sell items at the Goblin Merchant by right-clicking on an item,
  and then "dropping" it onto a Goblin Merchant.
- Scroll of Town Portal now takes 5 seconds to use. During this time it is
  being "channeled", and the Hero using it cannot be attacked or stunned.
  Under no circumstances can the town portal be aborted once started. 
- Wand of Illusion can no longer be cast on hostile units. This change was
  made to prevent players from cheesing high level creep camps by using Wand
  of Illusion on high level creeps, and then using this illusionary creep to
  tank the damage.
- Boots of Speed no longer stack: two Boots of Speed will make a Hero just
  as fast as one.

Other
- When "attack-moving", air units now prefer to attack other air units more
  often than previously.
- Creeps that are not in combat now ignore flying units. This means that if
  you move flying units around using "move" instead of "attack move", creeps
  will generally not attack them.
- Creeps can no longer be dragged via constant attacks--they eventually give
  up and return to their start location. 
- Goblin Sappers now deal 750 damage to buildings, 250 damage to all units,
  and 185 damage to Heroes. These values are reduced by armor values such as
  '5 armor', but do not interact with armor types (e.g. 'Medium armor').
- Units in a transport over ground will "spill out" over a wider area. This
  means that surrounding a webbed transport and killing it will generally
  not kill the passengers.

NOTES: Replays are incompatible between major game revisions. (1.07 replays 
cannot be viewed with the 1.10 version of Warcraft III.) Custom save games will
