     Added API method to check if player parties are size capped
     Added API method to grab the level cap of a skill by its PrimarySkillType ENUM definition
     Added API method to check if a skill was being level capped
+
+Version 2.1.44
+    Fixed a NPE with Alchemy brewing
+
+Version 2.1.43
+    Fixed a bug that would result in players being told they they failed to salvage enchantments when in reality they succeeded.
+
+Version 2.1.42
+    Fixed McMMOPlayerNotFoundException being thrown instead of null
+    (API) UserManager.getPlayer() returns null again (oopsie)
+    Added new perk permission node `mcmmo.perks.bypass.salvageenchant` - guarantees full enchantment return for Salvage
+    Added alternative permission node `mcmmo.perks.bypass.repairenchant` - guarantees full enchantment return for Repair
+    Added new wildcard perk `mcmmo.perks.bypass.*` and `mcmmo.perks.bypass.all` (either of these will grant all new mcmmo.perks.bypass perk permissions)
+
+    NOTE: Sorry about that, when trying to improve Bungee Cord compatibility I made a big oopsie!
+    NOTE: Repair's new perk permission works in the exact same way as mcmmo.bypass.arcanebypass, bypass perk permissions will all eventually be moved to `mcmmo.perks.bypass`
+    NOTE: Expect perk permissions to all be moved to `mcmmo.perks.X` in the near future
+
+Version 2.1.41
+    Fixed NullPointerException errors when trying to grab PlayerProfiles for players who have not loaded
+    Added new locale string Profile.PendingLoad
+    Added new locale string Commands.Database.CooldownMS
+    Fixed a display error preventing the remaining time on /mcrank from being shown if it was on cooldown
+
 Version 2.1.40
     (API) mcMMO will now return null in all cases for UserManager.getPlayerProfile() if they have not been loaded yet
     (API) Roll stores exploit data in AcrobaticsManager now

 The goal of mcMMO is to take core Minecraft game mechanics and expand them into add an extensive and quality RPG experience. Everything in mcMMO has been carefully thought out and is constantly being improved upon. Currently, mcMMO adds fourteen unique skills to train and level in. Each of these skills is highly customizable through our configuration files, allowing server admins to tweak mcMMO to best suit the needs of his or her server. Know that the mcMMO team is dedicated to providing an ever-evolving experience, and that we carefully read all feedback and bug reports in order to evaluate and balance the mechanics of mcMMO in every update.
 
 ## About the Team
-mcMMO is currently developed by a team of individuals from all over the world.
+In December 2018 nossr50 returned as project lead for mcMMO once again to develop and improve mcMMO.
+The mcMMO team currently has two members, nossr50 (lead) and t00thpick1 (classic maintainer).
+mcMMO is currently developed almost entirely by nossr50, many thanks go out to the many developers who have worked on the project over the years.
