Warning: This is the first public test release of Skript 2.5. It is likely to contain breaking bugs - do NOT run it outside of a test server. Skript 2.4 will continue to receive critical bug fixes until 2.5 is stable, which may take a while.

There has been months of more or less active work on 2.5 by many people. We introduced an automated testing system and done some refactoring to improve stability of new Skript releases. Beyond that, there are some bug fixes that did not make it into 2.4, and a large amount of new features.
