 * Fixed kick on hardcore death / kick on mediumcore death / ban on either from taking action against journey mode players. (@hakusaro)
 * Attempted to fix the problem with the magic mirror spawn problems. You should be able to remove your spawn point in SSC by right clicking on a bed now. (@hakusaro, @AxeelAnder)
 * Add HandleFoodPlatterTryPlacing event, which is called whenever a player places a food in a plate. Add antihack to bouncer, to prevent removing food from plates if the region is protected; To prevent placement if they are not in range; To prevent placement if the item is not placed from player hand. (@Patrikkk)
+* Add FishOutNPC event handler, which is called whenever a player fishes out an NPC using a fishing rod. Added antihack to Bouncer, to prevent unathorized and invalid mob spawning, by checking player action, NPC IDs and range. (@Patrikkk, @moisterrific)
 
 ## TShock 4.4.0 (Pre-release 8)
 * Update for OTAPI 2.0.0.36 and Terraria 1.4.0.4. (@hakusaro, @Patrikkk, @DeathCradle)
