A first stable release of Skript for years is here!

Main good news since Skript 2.2:

Added support for Minecraft 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12 and 1.13 (latest revisions only)
Rewrote item and block alias system and the aliases
Reworked Skript documentation, since Njol's docs website was not open source
Added vector support (was previously an addon)
Added support for advanced chat formatting features (known as "JSON chat")
Added support for particles (not just legacy effects)
Added support for playing sounds
Added ability to place function calls before function definitions
⭐ Added item with lore expression
- You have probably used the with lore expression from skQuery addon, now it is added to Skript itself, but it uses text lists instead of || for new lines. So you will have to update your scripts using this format. The same goes for the item lore expression, so it returns a text list.
```
 a diamond sword named "name" with lore "lore"
 a diamond sword with lore "line 1" and "line 2"
 a diamond sword with lore "line 1", "" and "line 3"

 set {_lore::*} to the lore of player's tool
```
Fixed some ancient bugs
