What's new in 0.19.0

• Renderer 0.18.0 inside. No full render needed. Updates write only the regions that changed and draw a changed chunk only from where it blocks the light, if nothing changed below; in a test, 42 % fewer tiles per update. The plugin resumes an aborted run with the new state as before. After the first finished run the state is in a new format; going back to an older plugin then needs a full render.
• Quiet updates skipped: the update every update-minutes no longer starts the renderer for a tree when nothing changed: no region file and no datapack written since its last finished run, and nothing left open by an aborted one. The first update after a restart, /heroicmap update and /heroicmap render always run. A tool that writes region files and keeps their old time goes unnoticed until then.
• karte.von is gone. A server no longer decides in its config that the mod shows another server's map; players decide in the mod instead, with a link in the map list (mod 0.2.69 and newer). Players who saw another server's map this way get the link once by themselves. If karte.von is still in config.yml, the log says so at start; it is not an error. Remove it after updating the mod on the players' side.
• karte.von-url and karte.von-oeffentlich stay for the public layers and images of another server, now on their own: trees: [] is allowed with karte.von-url, and karte.von-oeffentlich needs karte.von-url. A tree with download: true is no longer an error there.
• The answer to show now carries the server's own name in both karte and backend.
• designs in layers.json: layers.json marks each layer with banner designs with "designs": true; a coming web map uses it to fetch the banner sprites together with the layer. Older web maps and mods ignore the field.

Platforms: Windows and Linux on x86_64. Anywhere else, set renderer.binary in the configuration.
