Improvements:
MySQL connections are now using ?rewriteBatchedStatements=true (Performance improvement)
Cut up to 80 seconds from import. (Preparations for Import rewrite.)
Bugfixes:
Fixed NoSuchMethodError: org.bukkit.inventory.PlayerInventory.getItemInMainHand() in 1.8.X servers related to DeathEvent
Other:
Dropped support for 1.7.X This is due to Two caches using Google Guava 10 methods, which 1.7.X does not provide. 1.7.10 was released on Thursday, June 26 2014 Attempts at fixing the issues were made, but support would have required completely rewriting the two caches.
