This release provides several changes and improvements for the code itself and plugin's performance, as well many more details.

This version also make changes to the current menus' configurations, it is recommended to make backups before updating to prevent data-corruption or errors due to missing-fields.

Features

• Implemented update-checker and notifier for player about new plugin releases.
• Remade configuration-system to improve reload-process and reduce methods in some classes, all configuration-containers were encapsulated into a single-class ConfigurationManager,

Changes

• Some classes were renamed to a more-appropriate name according to their package (Major).
• Removed some enum-constants from ModificationContext as they are no longer used (Major).
• Now handleClickLogic(...) method will return a value-object with information about the clicked-item (only if item is valid, or is not AIR), this also reuses the ItemMeta for the item (to avoid repeated-creation when calls to super-class and implementations) (Major).
• Removed deprecated-methods for PlayerAggregateRoot class (Major).
• Removed TagModifierService and adapt TagModificationProcessor for changes, and input-processing, and move most-logic to processor's implementation (Major).
• Reused ItemStack references when a menu-item will be used through multiple-slots.
• Included more-abstractions, and define duplicated-logic into utility-classes for menu-items and reduce boilerplate-code on menus-implementations.
• Re-structured infrastructure-logic, common-logic between infrastructure-implementations was moved into abstractions depending on infrastructure-type.
• Tried to improve readability by using switch-block in InfrastructureRepositoryController#selectAndInitialize.
• Now when retrieving a repository's information (if the interface-contract permits it), a "viewer" collection will be returned instead of original cache-collection to avoid possible non-desired data-management by thirds.
• Now tag's information only will be saved if they were modified.
• ...

Fixes

• Exception due to access to a placeholder-hook's implementation when soft-dependency is not available.
• Exception when saving player's information due to a incorrect null-check for selected-tag field (for JSON infrastructure) .

This release provides several changes onto the project-structuration and code-readability, as well new features.

• Now when handling JSON serialization/deserialization the null values will be serialized directly, instead of using empty-strings. - 30e89a5
• Now PlaceholderHook implementations return tags' visual-information directly from the PacketAdaptationContract, and they'll return null only if the placeholder is not valid. - 16157d5 521757a
• Any cached TagAggregateRoot will be saved post cache-deletion only if removal-cause was EXPIRED. - 7f1de38

Fixes

• Duplicated data-row when aggregate-root saving for MongoDB implementations. - d7ebd8c

Features

• Added support for PlaceholderAPI and MiniPlaceholders plugins, as well, legacy-chars parsing for valid conversion to modern component.
• Added own plugin's extensions for both placeholders-plugins, check its placeholders here.
• Reduced considerably plugin's jar-file size to aprox 150 KB.

Changes

Major

• Implemented edit-mode through menu and chat-input for tag's properties modification.

Changes

Major

• Now the TagPropertyChangeEvent event will provide only the tag's id and the modification-context.
• Implemented async-reload function for the plugin's configuration-files.
• Improved code's quality, delegated non-implemented-by-all-subclasses methods to specified interfaces.

Minor

• Now the TagModifierService's methods for prefix and suffix modification will check for both values' nullability before content-checking.
• Renamed modify sub-command to edit.
• Removed unnecessary calls in PacketAdaptationModule#createTeam for team's properties-setup (which have to check again-and-again if the team exists), now it uses directly the PlayerTeam reference for the properties-configuring.
• Fixed duplicated-documentation at package tag.application of the api sub-project.
