2.3.5

• This release contains a check that detects if either Essentials, GroupBridge (FakePermissions) or GroupManager are manually called by any other plugin.

2.3.4

• A new feature sneaked into this: There are 2 new permissions: essentials.time.world and essentials.time.player. You need the first one, if you want the users to change the world time.
• Again, only a bukkit update release. It partly fixes the problem with iConomy stated above. This also fixes the problem that the GroupManager commands did not work anymore and it was probably the last fix for GM so far. Other plugins can still break GM, see known bugs above.
