+- Prevents teleportation of a player holding creatures on a leash when handleLeashedCreatures is disabled, to prevent
+  players accidentally losing the creatures during teleportation
+- Fixes a potential exception when a gate's open-block or closed-block is set to a material which isn't a block
+- Fixes a potential exception when a portal without a sign has an invalid gate type
+- Prevents loading of gate files using non-blocks as part of the border

+  the first player
+
+#### \[Version 0.9.2.1] EpicKnarvik97 fork

+
+- Increases max length of names and networks to 13 characters
+- Excludes color codes from the counted character length to allow a colored, 13-character name
+- Makes portal names and networks case- and color-agnostic to prevent some confusion caused by typos or sloppy
+  configuration
+- Makes the free gate color configurable, and renames freeGatesGreen to freeGatesColored
+
+#### \[Version 0.9.1.2] EpicKnarvik97 fork
+
+- Allows a sneaking player to see information about a silent stargate with no sign
+
+#### \[Version 0.9.1.1] EpicKnarvik97 fork
