Upgrade Note: Version 1.3 maintains full backward compatibility. However, to get the new configuration with all documentation and the improved format, it is recommended to delete the "TeamChatPrefix" folder in your plugins directory before updating. This will generate a fresh config file with all new options and comments. Your existing configuration will still work automatically if you keep it, but you won't have the new documentation and default values for new settings.
