Bugfixes:

• Fixed incorrectly-formatted Javadocs in a few places
• Fixed wording in a few sections
• Updated document READMEs to be better laid out

CI/CD:

• Added compile check for GitLab repo (backup for GitHub)

Release 3.0.2

Updates:

• NO CODE UPDATES
• Javadoc:
  • Added Javadoc to some methods for consistency
  • Corrected other Javadoc with missing items or bad punctuation
• Whitespace:
  • Evened out whitespace for consistency
• Version bump to 3.0.2 anyway, since "technically", the code was updated (though it was just whitespace updates)

Release 3.0.1

Updates:

• Bump Bukkit support range to 1.8.x thru 1.18.x (from 1.8.x thru 1.16.x)
• Bump BungeeCord supoort range to 1.8.x thru 1.18.x (from 1.8.x thru 1.16.x)
• Validate data length when creating an IPCMessage with pre-filled data, or when adding data
  • Throw an Exception during the create/add if the serialized data is too long
  • This is a faster failure that can happen in the implementing code instead of throwing the Exception when trying to send the IPCMessage, thus the failure always existing in BungeeIPC
• API updates to mark parameters as final where applicable
• Configuration file updates to show the Java logging levels and their comparable Log4J logging levels, based on the specific implementation (Bukkit vs. BungeeCord)
• BungeeCord IPC implementation has logging levels now instead of "extra_logging", as BungeeCord itself has implemented the ability to change log levels
• Default to using the industry-standard PKCS12 KeyStore instead of the proprietary JKS
• Removed redundant methods in the BungeeCord server status updater
• Updated Jetbrains Annotations to 23.0.0 (from 22.0.0)
• Updated license header year
• Updated logger license notification year

Release 3.0.0

Updates:

• API:
  • Client- and server-side API classes had names changed to increase readability and follow the naming convention of others (ex: IPCClientPlugin -> ClientIPCPlugin)
  • IPCMessage changes:
    • IPCMessage changed to an interface
    • AbstractIPCMessage implementation holds most of the functionality
    • Client- and ServerIPCMessage extensions for messages originating from the respective side
    • Simple extensions for reading messages when the data is received from over the network
    • Added #getOrigin() to find the originating location of the IPCMessage (useful for responses to request messages)
    • Changed #getServer() to #getDestination()
    • Changed internal List to Queue
    • Limit the broadcast server to only being a destination
    • Limit the placeholder server to only being an origin

Bugfixes:

• Implementation:
  • Require that a IPC server correspond with a Minecraft server registered with the BungeeCord proxy
  • Require that an IPC server name not be one of the 3 global names (proxy, broadcast, and placeholder)
  • Require that an IPC server's connected client be the same as the Minecraft server registered to the BungeeCord proxy with the same name
  • Fix Issue #1

Release 2.1.1

Updates:

• Updated Jetbrains Annotations to 22.0.0.
• Version bump to 2.1.1.

Release 2.1.0

New:

• Added the "/ipc help" command ("/ipcb help" for BungeeCord).
• Moved sub-command listing to help command, use generic help message if the CommandSender has permission.
• Added debugging logging in the Bukkit implementation (requires debugging enabled in spigot.yml).
• Added extra logging (debugging logging) in the BungeeCord implementation (not true debugging due to limitations in BungeeCord).

Updates:

• README update to include the core-api dependency in the examples.
• Renamed the plugins to "BungeeIPC" in the respective plugin.yml files. Updated the README documentation as required.
• Changed to generic Lists / Collections / Sets instead of specific implementations where able and makes sense.
• Changed PluginCommand registration with TabExecutors in the Bukkit implementation.
• Reordered sub-command processing to be in alphabetical order (easier to read, no real functional changes).
• Re-worked BungeeCord ipcb command tab-completion processing to follow the command execution process.
• Javadoc update to change value to {@code value}.
• Added Javadoc to all implementation classes (this does not get published during a deploy, but helps if someone is reviewing the source code).
• Snapshot version bump to 2.1.0.

Bugfixes:

• Removed extra " - " on subcommand listings in the BungeeCord help command.

Release 2.0.0

Updates:

• Rework the API to have 3 modules instead of one:
  • Common
  • Client
  • Server
• This allows for implementations and downstream plugins to only use the necessary code when accessing the API (only the client side, no server-side code)
• While this API change may be somewhat compatible with previous versions, it is best to assume that it is not.
• Snapshot bump to 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT
• Version bump to 2.0.0

Release 1.0.3

Updates:

• Explicitly check for the plugins' data folders and create them if they do not exist.
• README updates to follow a more standard template.
• Default config files have the API javadocs link.
• Bukkit config file has "bukkitipc.yml" listed instead of "bungeeipc.yml" as an alternate name.
• Bump snapshot version to 1.0.3-SNAPSHOT.
• Bump release version to 1.0.3.
