⭐️ Changes
As with the previous release, the full changelog can be found below this summary.
Minecraft 1.18 support
Skript now officially supports Minecraft 1.18. There was a temporary unofficial release from @ShaneBeee on the skUnity Discord, but we recommend switching to this official release now.
Parsing output reformatted
Skript's parsing output (the errors and warnings) are now easier to read and more stylish, thanks to a PR from @AyhamAl-Ali.

For addon developers:

⭐️ Organization Stuff
End of 1.12 support
After a lot of discussion, we have decided to drop support for 1.12 and lower, as it stops us from adding a lot of features and focusing on other parts of Skript. 2.6.x will be the last version working with 1.12 and lower. Security patches and other kind of fixes might be ported to this version, but keep in mind that features won't be added.
For addon developers
- We've switched to a new maven repository for Skript:
https://repo.skriptlang.org/releases! Read more about it in #4506.
- We've removed the method
Parser#getVariableNamePattern, see the full changelog above for more info.
- Introducing parse tags, like parse marks but better! Read more about them here.
- Added
SkriptEvent#getEventClasses so a SkriptEvent has control over which event class the code is parsed with, see #4195).
- (same as in 2.6) Due to the merge of #3924, many addons might be broken by this release. If you want to make them compatible, you may use SkriptAddonPatcher or its plugin version.
We're moving!
Another thing to note for addon developers and people who wish to contribute to the project, we have moved the main discussion area to the skUnity discord. While Skript-chat was good enough we need to reflect our rapidly growing community's needs and we will achieve this by taking it to the largest Skript community in place.
This doesn't mean skUnity documentation/forums are handled by the SkriptLang organization as they take part of their own service. We'll still maintain our own documentation at https://skriptlang.github.io/Skript and support any other services such as SkriptHub/Skript-MC to continue taking part of this community!
As always, if you encounter any issues please report them at https://github.com/SkriptLang/Skript/issues.
If you have any ideas or input for the future development of Skript, you can share those too at https://github.com/SkriptLang/Skript/discussions.
