+    Added 'mcmmo.ability.woodcutting.cleancuts' permission node
+
+    Locale
+    Added locale entries for motherlode, cleancuts, and verdant bounty
+
+    Codebase
+    Major rewrite for how random chance was handled in the code
+    Many skills with RNG elements now send out a SubSkillEvent (which can be used to modify probability or cancel the results), some skills without RNG still send out this event when activated, this event is cancellable so it can be used to make a skill fail
+    A lot of new unit tests were added to help keep mcMMO stable as part of this update, of course, more could always be added.
 
     NOTES:
-    The new setting simply prevents mcMMO abilities from activating when attacking an armor stand, this prevents some exploits
+    One feature of this update is to provide a endgame benefits to some skills that you can grind for a long time, ideally for a long while. I will likely expand upon this idea in future updates.
+    A few skills have these endgame oriented subskills, these new subskills provide a small benefit at first that grows and scales up to level 10,000 (or 1,000 for Standard mode which no one uses) and does not have ranks (other than the initial rank to unlock it).
+    These endgame sub skills unlock at level 1000 for users with default mcMMO settings, or 100 for those using the optional Standard scaling.
+    You can tweak the benefits of these skills in advanced.yml, the default settings are meant to be a good starting point.
+
+    Crossbows and Tridents are WIP skills, I would like feedback on discord about them.
+
+    More info on the new Triple Drop skills (Mother Lode, Clean Cuts, Verdant Bounty):
+    Currently these start at about 5%  chance and can reach a maximum 50% chance if a player acquired 10,000 skill, you can adjust this in advanced.yml
+    These skills respect double drop settings from config.yml just like the corresponding Double Drop skills do, if a double drop is disabled for an item, then its disabled for triple drops too.
+    I added a new Power Level Command, for now this just shows you your current power level. If I ever add features based on power level, this command will likely display output related to those features.
+
+    Regarding Maces, I will likely add that as a WIP skill when the next Minecraft update drops.

     Notes:
     The new Limit Break subskills are intended to make Prot IV players less tanky and for you to feel more powerful for having high skill level.
-    Limit Break has 10 ranks, each rank gives 1 extra RAW damage, this is damage before reductions from armor and enchantments. The net result is you deal about 50% more damage with an end game skill compared to before.

     With these new changes, most skills can 2 shot normal diamond armor, and it takes about 5 hits to kill someone in Prot IV Diamond Armor.
     I'm not sure everyone will like these changes, the net result is players are a lot easier to kill now, whereas before you could take quite a beating before getting killed.
     I collected several sets of data before making these changes, including damage to player with and without prot 4 diamond armor, damage to those players with and without enchanted weapons, damage with and without leveling your skills, and combinations of the previously mentioned things.
