Changelog - KinglyBosses

Core Updates

• Base Version Migration: Successfully transitioned the plugin core to 1.8.8 to ensure legacy stability and performance.
• System Foundation: Established the V5-ALPHA core architecture, refactoring the BossManager for improved null-safety.
• Coordinate Support: Added support for both relative (~ ~ ~) and absolute coordinates in the /kboss spawn command.

GUI & User Interaction

• Version-Specific GUI: Completely redesigned the Graphical User Interface (Main, Config, and Edit menus) to be fully compatible with version 1.8.8.
• System Chat Integration: Implemented a standardized System Chat logic for consistent color formatting and automated messaging across all plugin interactions.
• Menu Security: Patched critical inventory exploits that prevented players from stealing UI items or breaking menus via shift-clicks.

Technical Systems

• Timer System Refactor: Modified the internal Timer class to handle group timers and respawn intervals more effectively within the new base version.
• Configuration Schema: Updated all .yml files to the current format, resolving bugs where world names were saved with incorrect quoting.
• Memory Management: Integrated a new memory-leak-free damage tracking system and optimized UUID-to-Player conversions.

Performance & Stability

• Spawning Optimization: The WorldBossSpawner now utilizes direct YAML path lookups instead of slow loops, significantly reducing server lag.
• Anti-Lag Measures: Improved spawning logic to ignore non-natural entities (spawners, breeding) and strictly respect spawnRandom settings.
• Thread Safety: Migrated to ConcurrentHashMap for safer handling of asynchronous chat events and data synchronization.
