Bukkit

If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 1.11 (1.10 or below), please read the following:

1. Due to changes in Spigot libraries, if you used the LWC plugin, you will likely get an "UnsatisfiedLinkException" error when starting your server. This will prevent WorldGuard from working properly. It is highly recommended you update to the unofficial LWC build and remove your LWC "lib" folder. If you get anything error related to "org.sqlite.core.NativeDB", try: making /tmp/ executable, switching to oraclejdk, and/or running with "-Dsqlite.purejava=true". These are not WorldGuard issues and we cannot fix them for you.
2. If you used a third-party plugin that added custom flags to WorldGuard, it may stop working with 6.2. It is highly recommended you backup your region files. Although WorldGuard will attempt to preserve the flags, they will likely be non-functional. Now that WorldGuard natively supports a custom flags API, third-party plugins will have to update to the new API before they work again.

This version supports only Minecraft 1.12. It may partially function as far back as 1.8, but it is recommended to use version 6.2 for Minecraft versions 1.11.2 and below as you will encounter errors when running commands.

NEW DOCUMENTATION: There is new documentation.
Developers: There is a page on using the new custom flag API.
