⚠️ Important Configuration Update

You MUST regenerate your config.yml file before upgrading to 2.0.0

Due to significant architectural changes in the rendering system, the configuration format has changed substantially.

Action Required:

1. Backup your current config.yml file
2. Delete the old config.yml on your server
3. Start the plugin - it will generate a new config.yml with the updated format
4. Re-apply any custom settings from your backup to the new configuration file

Attempting to use the old configuration format may cause unexpected behavior or errors.
