Known issues
This PacketEvents update was a rather large one. We acknowledge that it still has a few issues and plan on fixing them in the upcoming patch update.
1. MappedEntity#isRegistered call leads to NullPointerException
Network synched registries are currently being worked on. #866
Completion of this task should lead to the issue being resolved.
2. EntityMetadata issues on 1.20.5+
Some metadata types (eg. spawned wolves) cause issues due to them being implemented incorrectly. Also this, we plan on fixing in the next patch update.

Thank you to everyone involved in this update. Finally 2.0.0 is out, from now on we will be releasing minor and patch updates.
Thanks to all the users that helped us test 2.0.0 by using the snapshot versions, you should now update to this release.
1.8.4
CHANGELOG
- Added support for 2.0 beta PacketEvents. You can now safely run a plugin shading PacketEvents Beta 2.0.0 and another plugin running 1.8.4 without any issues. There used to be an issue where packets sent by 2.0 would be discarded. (cancelled)
- Deprecated PacketEvents#loadAsync and PacketEvents#loadAsyncNewThread. This "feature" was removed in 2.0, so I decided to deprecate it here. It really made no sense having that.
