+ [ #176] Added /unhideenchantments. This command reveals enchantments hidden by /hideenchantments. Requested by @mechcalvin.
+ [ #174] Added configuration option to block &x color code. Previously this would allow players to bypass color code permissions. Requested by @sirblazzit.

~ [ #135] Fixed bug where /lore would place an extra space on the end of a single lore line. (Reported by @DeleteMetaInf on github.com.)
