It's been so long since a release that you get categories instead of just bullet points! Exciting!

Configuration:

• Added per-world flag durations and default setting for all non-specified worlds
  • Replaces 2 old settings - world list and flag duration.
  • Allows for setups where specific worlds do not use Regionerator but all other user-generated worlds will.
  • See Configuration#worlds
• Added cache settings
  • These settings are mostly for advanced users with particularly large or small servers. If you don't know what you're doing, you could probably break Regionerator badly (i.e. a batch size of 1 and a batch delay of 5 minutes would cause the queue to take forever to drain, meaning flags would likely fail to save).
  • See Configuration#cache

Cache:

• Changed queue to drain at a rate of 1 region per 0.5 seconds instead of 2.5 seconds.
• Added minimum time between expiration checks to reduce churn
• Added soft max cache size (cache is allowed to exceed max size between expiration checks)

Hooks:

• Fixed Civs hook not enabling without soft dependencies (namely WG and MMOItems) being present
  • Because the hook needs to be precompiled and therefore is a huge pain to monitor and maintain, the hook is officially EoL. If the API used changes, that's it, goodbye hook.
• Fixed WG hook causing problems without WG present
• Fix WG hook not being declared capable of async operation
  • Using exclusively async-capable hooks provides a huge speed improvement, so this may lead to huge performance gains during cycles for some people.

Miscellaneous:

• Changed flagging to distribute load more evenly
  • Reduces likelihood of a lag spike when updating visiting flags by reducing the number of simultaneously considered players
• Fixed completely fresh regions being deleted when fresh chunks are configured to be preserved
• Moved some utilities to a more heavily tested library
