+* Core: New "validation function table" feature was added with corresponding
+  {get,set}ValidationEnabled API options. Allows global validation checks (e.g.
+  AI mandatory associations) to be differentiated and enabled/disabled by the
+  library user.
+* Wrappers: Add support for new {get,set}ValidationEnabled API functions.
+* Core: {get,set}ValidateAIassociations API functions are now deprecated since
+  the new validation function table functionality subsumes the legacy
+  functionality.
+* Core: Deprecated setValidateAIassociations no longer disables
+  mutually-exclusive AI validation. (Mutually-exclusive AI validation is now
+  mandatory.)
+* Wrappers: Replace deprecated {get,set}ValidateAIassociations API functions
+  with new {get,set}ValidationEnabled.
+* MSVC: Build process amended to treat warnings as errors.
