Hogwarts Map: Ultimate Project/Release 2.0

What is GM?
GM is abbreviated for Golden Master. If you participate in the Apple Beta Software Program for iOS, you may recognize this slang. It means we are just moments away from the official release, typically a major update. If there is a hotfix for some reason, then there will be a second GM known as GM 2. The sequence will go as follows for this case:

2.0 GM 1 will be the first GM, 2.0 GM 2 will be the second, and so forth.

Synopsis
It's been years since Mr. Kaspersson ever made updates. Comments, reviews, oh bloody hell! This must not be good. Well then, as soon as it comes out, you'll be surprised on the changes made!

We have a name for both Release 2.0 and 3.0. The name is known as the Wizarding Update and it will be split into two phases.

Additions
"We're going to mix it up a bit: we will add the Dark Tower to the map, just to have a little fun with the project, expect it next pre-release."

- Christopher Lewis on PlanetMinecraft, 3 May 2019, plans to add the Dark Tower
