News:

• A large part of the plugin was rewritten with faster and smaller codes, thus seeing a significant reduction in the size of the plugin as well. I am currently preparing Spartan for a detection rewrite phase where I will completely change some very major checks for the better good of the plugin. There are plans for performance improvements as well, although performance has been reported to be flawless from the vast majority of customers.
• The plugin now has 4 instead of 3 stats for players. Normal, Legitimate, Hacker & the new one named Suspected, which will serve as a way to raise awareness to detections to players that seem to be too irregular too fast. The menu will also show suspected players, but BE CAREFUL when moderating them, some of them will end up not being hackers but normal players.

Logs:

1. Removed the messages.yml option “empty_wave_list”.
