This release will break the API in the following way:

• The plugin API now stored metadata in a separate file metadata.json placed next to the main plugin class file. v1.7.0 supports both formats, for details on what needs to be changed see #926 (all core-plugins have been ported to the new format).

• There will no longer be any support for the old export format. This means that all seeds need to be converted into .webgmeX format. v1.7.0 still support seeding and importing from the old format and can be used to do the conversions.
