Debugmode
The lagassist debugmode is a tool that can help both us and you track issues or analyze why configuration doesn't work. It currently has 3 levels (0, 1, 2), with 0 not printing anything, 1 printing minimal but useful details, and 2 printing stack traces (detailed).
While this feature doesn't seem big, it will help us loads to debug and find solutions to your issues faster. It'll also remove the problem with debug messages surviving releases.

Dynamic view distance
Dynamic view distance is now finally compatible with newer versions and old versions too! This means no more pesky paper "per-player view distance needs more understanding ...." message!
