## RailOptimization v2.0
RailOptimization 2.0 brings an **INCREDIBLY** faster rail update engine, Forge and NeoForge support, and persistent configuration.
### What's New
- **6x faster** than v1.6 in complex rail network.
- Added **Forge and NeoForge support** alongside Fabric.
- Optimization and power-limit settings are now saved automatically in `railoptimization.json` and restored after restarts.
- Added `/railoptimization reload` to apply configuration-file changes without restarting.
### Improvements
- Reworked rail signal searches and propagation to reduce repeated work on straight and mixed-slope lines.
- Greatly reduced the cost of repeated neighbor updates that leave rail states unchanged.
- Reduced temporary allocations, repeated support checks, and redundant neighbor notifications.
- Improved **WorldThreader compatibility** by keeping update-cache invalidation independent between dimensions.
- Improved compatibility with modded redstone blocks and rail variants on Forge and NeoForge.
### Fixes
- Corrected direction-dependent rail update ordering, including observer and piston/BUD microtiming at rail endpoints.
The default rail power range remains **8**; extending it is still optional.
