Glowstone 2018.4.0

[momothereal]

Hi all,

Today we’re releasing Glowstone version 2018.4.0. The previous release, 2018.3.0, was a bit late into April, so this one
is a little shorter than usual. Nevertheless, here is the changelog.

We received contributions from 6 community members, including 2 first-time contributors (jordanmurray and Muqsit).
As usual, we thank you for your effort!

New Glowstone Documentation

We have begun transferring our Github wiki to a website called ReadTheDocs. It uses a more advanced markup language, RST, and allows for more styling options. It also allows versioning, which will make it possible to separate documentation between Glowstone releases.

As we are gradually migrating information to the new website, we are planning to enhance documentation to make it easier for new users to take advantage of Glowstone. It is available at docs.glowstone.net.

That is all for now, see you next month!
