Thanks to everyone on our Discord and on GitHub who helped in beta testing, finding bugs, requesting features etc.

Your continued support and love of this project is awesome, thanks so much!! <3

Important Changes

If you used defaults you dont need to change anything.
If you need help updating or with anything else please reach out on Discord or create a Issue!
