Code (Text):

gd_trust_accessor
gd_trust_builder
gd_trust_container
gd_trust_manager
gd_trust_resident

Note: Make sure to TEST before using this new feature.


World whitelist support

Servers using plugins that create many additional worlds can now make use of the new world whitelist configuration in global.conf and specify which worlds you want GD to work in. All other worlds not specified will be ignored in GriefDefender.
