If you are starting a network from scratch feel free to dig into RustyConnector!
If you are updating from v0.8 you should check the README under "Returning Features". You might be using features that have been removed and don't have a 1-to-1 re-implementation yet.
To be clear ALL FEATURES FROM v0.8 ARE COMING TO version0.9
But the process will take time as we rewrite all of these features to work with the version0.9 rewrite.
version0.9 introduces a fully integrated Java API.
You can start working with the version0.9 API right now:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url = "https://maven.mrnavastar.me/releases/" }
}
dependencies {
compileOnly 'group.aelysium.rustyconnector:core:0.9.0'
}
