 - Adds missing permissions to plugin.yml and simplifies permission checks by specifying default values for child
   permissions
 - Renames stargate.reload to stargate.admin.reload to maintain consistency
+- Marks stargates which cannot be loaded because of the gate layout not having been loaded
+- Uses white for the "-" characters on the side of each stargate name when drawing signs to increase readability
+- Uses white to mark the selected destination when cycling through stargate destinations
+- Uses dark red to mark portals which are inactive (missing destination or invalid gate type)
+- Re-draws signs on startup in case they change
+- Fixes some bugs preventing changing the portal-open block on the fly
+- Adds a translate-able string for when the plugin has been reloaded
