ADDED: properties table to zone entries in database MODIFIED: mist.dynAdd will now check tasks assigned in route for any beacons and will update the groupId or unitId as needed. MODIFIED: mist.getGroupData now has optional route boolean. If present it will also return the route. This allows the user to skip a function call. ADDED: mist.getGroupTable. Returns the verbatim table for a group as defined in the mission editor. MODIFIED: mist.teleportToPoint, mist.teleportInZone, mist.respawnInZone, mist.cloneInZone to have extra parameters for governing task and custom validTerrain values. MODIFIED: mist.debug.dump_G now accepts a boolean value that deletes entries that I commonly delete when dumping _G. ADDED: mist.debug.writeGroup. This function is used to write a group table directly to a file of the groups name.lua. The point of this is to easily get the contents into a separate file. ADDED: mist.debug.writeTypes This function iterates through units placed in the mission file and writes to a file containing a list of object typeNames, CLSIDs, and liveries WIP: mist functions to add, remove, query mark panels and shapes.

Description
MIssion Scripting Tools (Mist) is a collection of Lua functions and databases that is intended to be a supplement to the standard Lua functions included in the simulator scripting engine. Mist functions and databases provide ready-made solutions to many common scripting tasks and challenges, enabling easier scripting and saving mission scripters time. The table mist.flagFuncs contains a set of Lua functions (that are similar to Slmod functions) that do not require detailed Lua knowledge to use. However, the majority of Mist does require knowledge of the Lua language, and, if you are going to utilize these components of Mist, it is necessary that you read the Simulator Scripting Engine guide on the official ED wiki

Contribution Guide
Contributions can be made with a standard github pull request model. Code developed for the next release should be requested to be pulled into the "develop" branch. Pull requests not targetted for "develop" will be denied. For hotfixes please open a ticket describing the problem and ideally a fix and your changes will be attributed in the relevant commit message. It's done like this because unfortunately github provides no tools to target to a new hotfix branch, and github tools are exclusively used in the administration of this repository and we wish to minimize the amount of unvetted code into master.
