v0. 1. 0 - initial release
v0. 2. 0 - added/fixed new papyrus functions, fixed dualcasting which was a little broken, added an esp with example perks, added additional channels for left vs right vs either casting source.
v0. 3. 0 - tidied source code and fixed a bug with instant cast spells. Better example perks as well with descriptions in esp.
v2. 0 - huge update, see the new section
v2. 0. 2 - fixed multiple crashes including with 1. 5, arrows, and while using the fist weapon.
v2. 1 - additional protections with health/stamina costs on spells. Also switches from AVG AVs to Vanilla which is optional in toml file. Should reduce save time substantially. The NPC weapon/speedmult feature is temporarily disabled while I switch away from requiring an AV.
v2. 1. 1 - some small additions to health/stamina cost spells including a notification if you are out of health/stamina and refunding magicka in that case
v2. 1. 2 - fixes the melee power attack enchant toggle in the toml which wasn't working and fixes the weird animation slowing issue some people had
v2. 2 - fixes to 0 stamina casting, frozen creatures for people not using an attack speed fix, and two new feature involving stamina
Some new 2. 0 features!

aTweaks 2. 0:
Tweaks:
CreatureWeaponSpeed = true #scales creature attacks by their weaponspeedmult AV value
CreatureWeaponSpeedBaseValueZero = false #setting this to true should fix any issues with all creatures not being able to attack if you aren't using a global attack speed fix which you should be using by this point
CreatureWeaponSpeedDefaultMessage = true #this displays a message if a creature is attacking with a weaponspeedmult of 0 which probably means you should enable the patch just above this one or disable this one if you know what you are doing
WhirlwindSprint= true #whirlwind sprint animation will change direction based on what direction you were just moving. will affect more than just the shout if something else is playing that anim
ProjectileSlowZone= 50. 0f #unused setting for now
MovementSpeedFix=true #speedmult values of less than 0 will not magically grant full speed and instead set the npc to move 99% slower including forced movement which could thereotically break some scripted animations
VariableNPC=true #currently disabled feature while I reconfigure this system to not use v
