## Important
1. As always, please create a backup before updating to this version.
2. Nova addons are now loaded as plugins. This means that they now need to be placed in the `plugins/` directory, and NOT `plugins/Nova/addons/`. Addon configs, recipes, etc. will be automatically moved to their new data folders. For this to work properly, the addons need to be present on the first startup of 0.18.
