xOBSE 22.10
	Additions:
		- Compiler: add error when using invalid filter strings identifier (the first element of a zz::yy pair) in SetEventHandler and related functions 
		- Improved Diagnostic for script errors
		- Task2 Interface for plugins to better handle Removable Tasks
		- Add GameInitialized Message (for OBSE plugins interop)
		- Added Compatibility for OBCN, similar of what was done for OBJA in 22.8 (EXPERIMENTAL)
		- Added a workaround for OBCN/OBJA to simulate know OBJA crash workaround (initialization codepath trying to access a D3DSwapchain memebers directly)
	Fix : 
		- Compiler: fix SetEventHandler/RemoveEventHandler/EventHandlerExist filters when the identifier was used unquoted and defined as a variable name
		- Changes to Steam version handling, solving some of the instances of Application load error
		- Allow sorting arrays of arrays when using ar_CustomSort
		- Fix for Ref Walking documentation
		- More precise handling of replace/count/find matching part of a multibyte character (stringVar are now internally  wide string, proper handling require the proper locale and codepage setted in the system)
		- Fix RemoveEventHandler for OnKeyEvent/OnControlEvent to remove all events with partial filter definition
		- Avoid rare null pointer access in ShowRuntimeError (thanks @Fox2Code)
		- Fix Menu{Tap/Hold/Release}Key commands not properly registering the button event for the UI.
		- Fix xOBSE 22.7 regression for Useful House, now unmodified IR won't reset the stack extraDataList, possible if it was modified by another IR or directly by the engine.

		- Invalidate IR after SetEquip Deferred actions 
		- Revert GetEditorID changes for REID as Realtime Interactions depended strictly on the old beahviours. Deprecate it and add GetEditorID2 as the contract was funcky and there are better functions to operate on formIDs

xOBSE 22.1
    Fix:

Enhanced Hotkeys users that were using a binded hotkey to equip bow and arrows were affected.
        - Made changes to improve robustness of overall ExtendData and ExtraData usages.
        - Using .0 minor revision was causing a mod with a bad obse check to fail. Using always revisions >= 1 solve this issue and should solve issues with similarly bugged mods.

0017 beta 2:

[** Upgrade Information **]
  Several changes occurred between beta 1 and beta 2 which require attention for users of mods based on beta 1. All scripts based on beta 1 need to be recompiled in the editor in order to function properly. Modders please update your mods; users please contact the authors of your mods for updated files. Additionally, due to the introduction of reference-counting for arrays, modders should be aware that arrays created and saved using beta 1 are compatible with beta 2 provided that exactly ONE reference to each array exists. If your scripts make use of the now-deprecated assignment-by-reference operator '=>', resulting in multiple references to the same array, then your users will need to revert to a clean savegame.
  Please note that backward compatibility is not guaranteed for beta releases of OBSE. Once 0017 is officially released, we will maintain backward compatibility with the stable version.

-GetClass takes an optional base NPC as an argument
-'%q', '%r', and '%e' are supported in string arguments to all functions, vanilla or otherwise
