There have been a ton of awesome gamers who have been providing feedback for NodePanel 2 in the NodeCraft Discord server. Thanks to these beta testers we've been able to dedicate the last month towards stabilizing NodePanel 2. Nearly all of these changes have been live in beta as we've adopted a much faster development cycle for NodePanel 2. Taking a quick look at our Github commits, we've pushed over a thousand changes including bug fixes and new features.
