New Glowstone Documentation

We have begun transferring our Github wiki to a website called ReadTheDocs. It uses a more advanced markup language, RST, and allows for more styling options. It also allows versioning, which will make it possible to separate documentation between Glowstone releases.

As we are gradually migrating information to the new website, we are planning to enhance documentation to make it easier for new users to take advantage of Glowstone. It is available at docs.glowstone.net.

That is all for now, see you next month!
