Version 2.0.0  and Beyond!

We're excited to share the latest updates and improvements to our project! Below is a consolidated list of changes, bug fixes, and new features introduced in recent commits. We've grouped related changes to make it easier to follow along.

Please note that this version will likely break your currently installed Stat and Skill Levels plugin if you directly replace the old on in any of your current projects. We recommend you backup your current project before installing v2.0.0,  the free version of our GameBackup plugin can do this for you automatically.
