Information regarding compatibility with RPG Maker MZ 1.8.x

Hello everyone!

With the recent release of RPG Maker MZ 1.8.0, changes to the core scripts were introduced (in order to facilitate the new features and fix bugs). After digging to the code, certain features of the Cook Tool need an update so they are compatible with the new version. Specifically:

• A flag was added to System.json (sort of) that checks if the Splash screen should be shown.
• There may be more changes under the hood, but so far, there aren't any notable changes that could break the tool under any cases.

If you are on an RPG Maker MZ project and you have either "Use source compilation" and/or "Remove Database files" settings turned on: It is not recommended to update to 1.8.0 yet. While the game might work, these options may cause issues with certain aspects (or require additional patches applied by the Hotpatch system). If you are using 1.7.x or you don't use these settings, you are not affected by this.

An update for Cook Tool Deluxe is in the works, to support this version fully.
