Brief Description
It's been quite some time, but ChatControl's successor, MDChat, is finally ready for its initial release.
Officially, this is technically a snapshot as there are still features I haven't quite finished yet, however, I have done extensive testing on the features present and it should be very stable. In this version, it contains every feature from ChatControl and more; one of the most notable features that is currently unfinished will be an announcer.
This is a complete re-code of the entire project from the ground up; built with MineDown for extended capabilities regarding message parsing.
Listing all of the changes made would be far too long for an update post like this, so here's a few of the most notable...

Changes

• MineDown text parsing on all messages sent by MDChat; allowing features such as gradients, click/hover events and much more.
• Every file has been restructured, providing better organization, documentation and more.
• New parrot check. Includes a decay option for the latest chat message.
• Fully reworked the chat formatting system; allowing for better organization and a new per-player format option.
• New message of the day system. Includes a delay option.
• Several new rules, including common shorthand terms for curse words and general toxicity have been added.

There's a catch...
MDChat files are not compatible with ChatControl's at all; meaning you will have to recreate, or manually transfer any and all modifications you had. I apologize for this inconvenience, however, it was unavoidable and is much better for the overall health of this project in the long run.
