Awesome to hear, writing something as big as a thesis paper is definitely a big feat! Cant wait to test the new version of cannons as well, i probably have 15 types of cannons already and even more projectiles.

@Tsugaga

Here is a config where i made some notes indicating what each thing does. If anything is wrong hopefully DerPavlov can point it out

@DerPavlov thats fine, if there is anything i can do to try and test things myself let me know

@Tsugaga ill answer what i can seeing how DerPavlov is a bit busy. As he has said, the new version of cannons is an alpha version, but in my experience is still quite useable.

The setting for barrel length, ect are missing because this version allows you to create your very own canons by using schematic files created in worldedit or MCedit,  meaning cannons are no longer restricted to a black wool tube, but can be anything from mortars to guns shaped like a duck, and they can be given a whole range of different stats, projectiles, ect.

The propeties that projectiles can use seem to be superbreaker and incendiary for now, but you can also use any of the potion-effects supported by bukkit if you want more variety or projectiles similar to the ones used by the old version of cannons

As for a verbose setting, there is one already. Open the main config file in the cannons plugin folder and set the option "debugMode" to false\

As for an updated config explaination, i might go ahead and make one myself

Also, is it possible to add an a time between bullets option? By this i mean if someone fires a cannonball which fires 5 little ones using the (numberOfBullets option), it would be nice if there was an option to add a delay between each one of those bullets.

This would make things like machine guns and autocannons possible, without having to rely on redstone clocks (which can cause server lag)

Edit:

It does not seem like the autoload function of cannons works for cannons 2.0 A2

The cannon will fire a projectile when using a redstone switch, but it wont autoload from a chest. I put the signs on the sides of the cannon schematic so im not sure whats wrong, and there are no errors in the console either

Also, what kind of potion effects can be used under the PotionEffects option?

Ah ok i see what i did wrong. For anyone else who has the same problem, my config was like this

placeBlock:
  radius: 7
  amount: 12
  material:
    - 35:1
when it should have been like this

placeBlock:
  radius: 7
  amount: 12
  material:
    - '35:1'

I think i found another bug

The PlaceBlock option for the projectiles does not seem to do anything. I set it to 35:1 to try and make it place orange wool, but it did not place anything.

Also, setting it to just plain 35 will crash the minecraft client
