Intro:
Lots of fixes, Mojang bugs crushed, and modder facing features added.

First and foremost, we have changed our repository to use the Mojang Obfuscation Mappings.
See our thoughts on that (here). 

In short:  

We understand that the people at Mojang want this to be allowed, but the license does not clearly back their words, and puts us in this difficult position.  
However, we have almost a decade worth of working experience with the people at Mojang. To the best of our knowledge we are in good standing, and they explicitly wish to allow us to use this data for our purposes. As such, we have decided to move forward with the license in it's current form, while still trying to get Mojang to better clarify certain edge cases related to our projects.

We advise that all modders using the Official Mojang mappings be aware of the license they are under. You can make your own decision on how you want to proceed.

Toolchain:
We've also updated our tool chain to more modern Gradle versions which should allow better development experiences for modders.
If you choose to use official names, there is an automated way to migrate your mod's sources to new mappings. The same updateMappings task that has existed for years. If you do not know how to use this, check the Forge discord. However, be aware that currently, these names do not contain javadocs or parameter names. Simply because this data does not exist in the official mappings. There is a community effort to crowdsource data for that. So pitch in if you can.

MCP Data:

This isn't specifically related to Forge, however, I have been given the official go ahead to relicense MCP's crowdsourced data, and the old intermediate values as modified zlib. This means it actually has a official license now. This will only matter to a super small set of the community. See the MCPConfig repo for more details.
