V2.8.6 RC for testing

= V2.8.6 =
New Features:

Update checker - this will display a message in the console during start up and to Ops if there is a later version available. To disable set checkupdates: false in the config.yml file

Choose your island companion! Options are COW, PIG, SHEEP, CHICKEN, VILLAGER, HORSE, IRON_GOLEM, OCELOT, RABBIT, WOLF or NOTHING. Default is COW.

New command for admins - topbreeders - this will tell you the top 10 islands with the most entities (animals and monsters) on them. Only islands that are loaded by the server can be shown. This may help detect over population.

Breeding limits are now enforced better and include spawning by monster egg and spawn blocks. This feature may help reduce lag by limiting entities.

== New permission ==
askyblock.mod.topbreeders - gives access to the /asadmin topbreeders command

== Upgrading ==
=== Quick Upgrade ===
This will use default settings where the update check is on and the cow remains the default companion:

Stop server

Copy this file over the old askyblock.jar file

Restart server

=== Longer, Safer Upgrade ===
This gives you access to the changes in the config files:

Stop server

Back up world and plugin folder

Copy this file over the old askyblock.jar file

Move your config.yml file elsewhere

Restart the server - it will generate new config.yml file with 2 new lines - updatecheck (line 17) and companion (line 281).

Stop server

Change the new options in those files how you like.

Restart server.

You should be done.
