There are, unfortunately, far too many changes to even begin to list.
Instead, I'll highlight some of the major changes here.
* All known issues from previous releases fixed
* Improved maintainability across the board
* Faster caching/permissions checks
* Overhauled the API
* More languages, yay!
* Using an ORM for database management for better maintainability
* Better backend messaging system/engines, using Netty's buffers and custom packets
* And much, much more..
