Welcome to Towny 0.97.5.0.
Towny 0.97.5.0 is the sixth (and likely final,) release in the 0.97.*.* series. It is a hotfix release for 0.97.4.0, as such this page includes all of the changes for 0.97.4.0 plus what is fixed in 0.97.5.0. If you are running 0.97.4.0 make sure you update right away. An old bug in the new day timer has been found which was not apparent before the new-day-scheduler was added in 0.97.4.0.
This is a drag-and-drop update: just replace your old .jars with the new ones and Towny will take care of the rest of the update by itself.

0.97.5.0-specific changes
