This v5 release fixes a lot of bugs and issues, also adding a few new APIs. Plugins that use BKCommonLib dont have to be updated and will work with this version of BKCommonLib all the same.

This version is not compatible with the new Minecraft 1.13-pre7 dev builds of Spigot. Development is now shifting to adding support for MC 1.13 for a future new release of BKCommonLib.
