If you are upgrading from a previous version of the plugin, see the instructions below.
This update contains mostly small fixes and improvements but also something that I wanted to implement for quite a long time now - performance diagnostics. There are some common problems with the configuration of the generator that can lead to timeout errors. The implemented diagnostic procedure should automatically analyze some of these problems and tell you how to fix them.
Also, I created a Discord server for anything related to Edgar. So if you have anything to ask, want to share what you're doing with Edgar, or just want to chat about anything, you're encouraged to join us!

⏩ Migrate from previous version
To update the plugin from a previous version, it is recommended to first remove all the old files (Assets/ProceduralLevelGenerator folder) and then import the newer version of the plugin. You may also want to back up your files if you did some changes to the asset files.
To make it easier for you to update to future versions of the asset, please try to not create your games directly in any of the example scenes. It is okay to use these scenes as a playground. However, be prepared to lose all your modifications when upgrading to a new version of the asset.
