RPKit 2.0.0
For Spigot 1.16.5
Some features may require Java 11+ (namely web APIs, everything else should work on Java 8+)

IMPORTANT: DO NOT UPGRADE DIRECTLY IF YOU ARE ON RPKIT 1.X
RPKit 1.9.x is still supported for those who are still using it.
RPKit 1.x and 2.x use incompatible databases and configs. Migration is NOT built into 2.0, tools to do so will be built later but are not currently available.
If you do not wish to preserve data, backup your database and configs, and then let them re-generate for 2.0. (All rpkit_ tables need to be renamed or dropped, all rpk- plugin data folders need to be renamed or deleted)
If you have any plugins built upon 1.x, they will need updating to work with the new 2.0 APIs.

This is a major overhaul of many of the core APIs and breaks compatibility with 1.x releases.
