All plugins wich uses garden/plugin/method are broken now. Haven't tried yet, but seems that changes are not critical for me
I ask because there are instances where 5.3.0 wreaks havoc on older apps.
Keep up the great work V-Team!
Everything worked perfectly in the upgrade, except my old theme had the error:
Fatal error: Class 'Format' blah blah blah ...
Thank you!
@oinkfu, make it Gdn_Format.
