Changelog

v2.0 - in development - ALPHA

In development, release uncertain. Changelog

remove dependency on CraftBukkit; eliminates breaks simply because of changing CraftBukkit versions. Hooray!
fix for issue #247; duplicate onJoin event due to faulty onNewPlayer logic
some minor code cleanup contributed to the project

v1.7.7.2 - Dec 23, 2013 (CRAFTBUKKIT-1.7.2-R0.2)

built for CraftBukkit v1.7.2 ONLY

v1.7.7.1 - (never officially released, Jenkins only) (CRAFTBUKKIT-1.6.4-R1.0)

built for CraftBukkit v1.6.4 ONLY

v1.7.7 - Aug 4, 2013 (CRAFTBUKKIT-1.6.2-R0.1)

built for CraftBukkit v1.6.2 ONLY
fix bug with modeSourceWorld not working properly (re-open of DBO ticket #188)
DBO ticket #208: print nice message (instead of NPE) if admin forgets to set WorldBorder when using spawnWorldRandom
github issue #4: fix for safeTeleport on Forge servers
fixes for some time-related messages in German localization (thanks seema23!)

v1.7.6 - May 05, 2013 (CRAFTBUKKIT-1.5.2-R1.0)

built for CraftBukkit v1.5.2 ONLY
support for Multiverse integration with Multiverse 2.5

v1.7.5 - Apr 04, 2013 (CRAFTBUKKIT-1.5.1-R1.0)

fixed NPE bug with /homeinvite when trying to send an invite to a home you don't own
addition of "/hsp dd" admin command to look for any home playerName case dups. For example, if a home "foo" exists for both player "Julie" and "julie", this will delete the oldest of the two. In general this is only caused by servers that have run in offline mode and allowed players to create homes that aren't tied to valid minecraft IDs. Backup your database before running this command!
addition of "/hsp lc" admin command to convert all player names for homes in the database to lowercase. In practice this isn't all that useful right now since HSP currently ignores case when searching player homes, but this might be combined with a future config option to enforce lowercase names instead of proper case for admins that prefer it. Backup your database before running this command!
Ticket #175: fix for /home NPE related to using strategies that produce no result
addition of "core.recordLastLocation" which can be used to disable Last Location logging
ignore case for name safety check in /homedelete and /homerename, only matters for offline servers
Ticket #183: Fix for disabling /sethome when falling beneath the world

v1.7.4 - Jan 31, 2013 (CRAFTBUKKIT-1.4.7-R1.0)

compatible with CraftBukkit v1.4.7 ONLY
Ticket #162 - added homeMinecraftBedSpawn
Ticket #168 - No command classes found (conflict with Honeypot plugin)
Ticket #169 - NPE with dynmap named spawns integration
Ticket #164 - command to rename spawns and homes (/spawnrename and /homerename)
Ticket #163 - Made ebean player name queries case-insensitive

v1.7.3.2 - Dec 23, 2012 (CRAFTBUKKIT-1.4.6-R0.1 BETA)

compatible with CraftBukkit v1.4.6 ONLY

v1.7.3.1 - Dec 9, 2012 (CRAFTBUKKIT-1.4.5-R1.0 RB)

Update to be compatible with latest CraftBukkit development releases (intentional break by Bukkit team) Details here: http://goo.gl/bFH0W
Maven adjusted to always use CraftBukkit LATEST, and there are only two references to CraftBukkit code in HSP so future API breaks can be updated and new plugin built in about 30 seconds, by myself or anyone else
Ticket #147: added "include-named-spawns" dynmap option

v1.7.3 - Nov 14, 2012 (CRAFTBUKKIT-1.4.5-R0.2 BETA and earlier)

Ticket #140: fixed Exception when using trailing \ on commands
added "hsp" prefixed alias for all commands (/hsphome, /hspspawn, /hsphomelist, etc)
removed usurpCommands config option, use Bukkit aliases instead (with aforementioned /hsp prefix commands)
Ticket #138: added ModeDistanceLimits strategy. Specific support for home distance limits, might generically work with other strategies too.
fixed issue in localized messages when using $ in substitute values (most commonly a result of economy price messages)
Ticket #148: NPE due to deleted worlds. This only fixes the specific stack trace, no additional work was done at this time to test this scenario, it's entirely possible deleted worlds will break elsewhere in HSP.
Bukkit 1.4.4 compatibility: Bukkit 1.4.4 changed some methods to final that HSP had used prior to Bukkit ever having them in the API. Made HSP compatible with these new changes.

v1.7.2 - Sep 29, 2012

fixed a bug when using /homeinvite to the same player/home created an exception
fixed unreported bug where an expiring HomeInvite would delete the associated Home also
fixed unreported bug that prevented /homeinvite working for an offline player if the exact name was used
fixed homeInvite NPE when associated home was deleted
added robust reflections implementation for dyanmic Command Registration
fixed NFE when /homeinvitedelete was given non-numeric input
added command usages back (they were lost in the dynamic command conversion with 1.7). Bonus: they are now localizable
Ticket #116: added customizable teleporting messages: http://goo.gl/qhYmZ

v1.7.1 - Aug 26, 2012

fixed issue with new modeExcludeNewPlayerSpawn not being usable
fixed issue with command usurping and CommandBook
made onRegionEnter/Exit pick up world context automatically for world-specific rules
additions to spawnLastLocation strategy to allow it to respond better to custom events
added '*' as an option for commands.disabledCommands to turn off all default HSP commands
disabled setting of Permission on PluginCommand objects, not all Permission systems play nice with this Bukkit superperms feature
fix issue with default event chains not being found

v1.7 - Aug 25, 2012

database upgrade: HSP will upgrade automatically, but to be safe you should backup your database before upgrading!
new strategies: SpawnLastLocation and SpawnLocalPlayerSpawn
new modes: ModeRememberSpawn and ModeRememberLocation
new WorldGuard mode: modeInRegion
Extensive direct Multiverse integration with many new modes and events
See example7 for example of new modes in action
New command system which allows HSP to map commands dynamically at runtime
New command system also fully enables "disabledCommands" feature so you can completely disable commands you don't want to use
Custom event commands (uses new command system)
Implemented new events "onRegionEnter" and "onRegionExit"
added "onNewPlayer" event for new players. If no result is returned, HSP will fall through to "onJoin" which maintains backwards compatibility
Ticket #133: added Spanish locale (thanks Consalvo!)
Ticket #123: added modeExcludeNewPlayerSpawn
Ticket #125: fix for Essentials conversion

v1.6.3 - Aug 22, 2012

some performance tuning
added built-in performance monitoring, tunable via core.warnPerformanceMillis config option
added Brazilian Portuguese translation (locale pt-br). Thanks Guichaguri!
changed core.reloadChunkOnTeleport default to false (fixes https://bukkit.atlassian.net/browse/BUKKIT-2275)
Ticket #131: modeRequiresBed not working

v1.6.2 - Aug 2, 2012

Ticket #118: error when using spawnWorldRandom strategy
cleaned up some spurious warning messages related to some missing default config settings
added "core.bedHomeOverwritesDefault" flag for determining how bed home vs default home (/sethome) interact (default = true)
fixed spurious "location is different than where HSP sent player" messages
validated working with Craftbukkit 1.3.1 dev builds

v1.6.1 - Jul 8, 2012

made strategies no longer case-sensitive in the configuration
added "nearestHomeOrSpawn" strategy
added some extra warnings to hopefully detect configuration issues and reduce the number of support tickets
added Portuguese translation (locale pt) - thanks @Traki08!
updated German translation (locale de) - thanks @Jobsti2!
new event "onNamedSpawnCommand" for controlling named spawn behavior
new strategies for controlling safe spawn and random spawn behavior: modeYBounds, modeNoWater, modeNoLilyPad, modeNoIce, modeNoLeaves
improvements to safe teleport to reduce occurance of non-safe teleports, especially noticeable with random strategies
added "dynmap.layer.homes.include-bed-home" and "include-named-homes" options (default home is always included). Check "config_defaults.yml" for syntax.
implemented player name best matching for several commands (/hlo, /homeo, /hi, /sho). /dho (delete) still requires exact match as a safety measure.

v1.6 - Jun 30, 2012

added /permcheck command (alias /pc) for checking permissions
added plugin metrics (from LWC author Hidendra, website http://mcstats.org). Edit "plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml" and set "opt-out: true" if you wish to opt out of all mcstats reporting.
Ticket #112: added permission for named spawns. By default this behavior is off, controlled by the "core.spawnNamedPermissions" config option. If enabled, HSP will check for permission: "hsp.command.spawn.named.<spawnname>" in order for the player to have permission to use the named teleport
Enhancement request: "resetOnDeath" cooldown config option. Can be used per-permission, per-world or in default cooldown sections
Ticket #114: random world spawn. Added 'spawnWorldRandom' strategy
Ticket #114: random named spawn. Added 'spawnNamedRandom' strategy
added "spawnRegionRandom" strategy for spawning at a completely random location inside a worldGuard region
Ticket #104: /sethome and bedHome don't play nice together
lots of testing and fixes to dynmap integration (it works now!)
Ticket #106: fixed the annoying "your home bed was missing or obstructed" message
Ticket #102: added French localizaton (thanks JohOply!)

v1.5.5 - May 12, 2012

bugfix (unreported) for MODE_HOME_NO_BED not working
Ticket #96: home name is "null" message in /homeinvite
Ticket #98: delete homes with ID
Ticket #71: bug with singleGlobalHome home limits
Ticket #51: dynmap integration added - BETA FEATURE: untested, looking for testers & feedback

v1.5.4.1 - May 5, 2012

bugfix for an NPE on teleport, reported in comments
made safe teleporting default to ON, can be disabled in config

v1.5.4 - May 4, 2012

converted build system over to maven (finally stood up my own nexus repository required to host dependent artifacts that aren't maven enabled). This simplifies the build process to git cloning the source and then just running 'mvn install'. Easy!
Ticket #95: added time string messages to cooldowns, ie: "32 minutes 25 seconds remaining"
Ticket #94: safe teleport, now settable via "config.safeTeleport" option
Ticket #92: bed home request. See new bedHome documentation available at: http:dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/homespawnplus/pages/bed-homes/
localized time strings (only en provided for now until my volunteer translators provide new translations)
Ticket #89: home cost multiplier

v1.5.3 - April 20, 2012

Ticket #93: named homes not working
startup delay resolved. Default 'EBEANS' storage just uses Bukkit ebeans now. To use Persitance Reimplemented (http://goo.gl/rtdDH) which enables live-reload (among other benefits, check link), you can use PERSISTANCE_REIMPLEMENTED_EBEANS storage engine, at the cost of a 0.75 second delay at startup.
Added startup warnings for anyone using Essentials or CommandBook that also gives brief instructions for how to make those plugins play nice with HSP.
Updated Essentials home converter to Essentials 2.9 (most current version).
Added converter for CommandBook. Since CommandBook can already import MyHomes and Warpz0r, this means users of those plugins can use the CommandBook converter script and then import that into HSP. link: http://goo.gl/v0a0j

v1.5.2 - April 18, 2012

Major refactor of strategies. End result if things were done right is there should be no noticeable change to end users. However, the refactor includes some performance improvements as well as signficantly more maintainable code, which also increases the chance others can easily create and contribute their own strategies.
fix for home invites sent for homes without a name

v1.5.1 - April 15, 2012

simplified the /hi command (a suggestion by @Infuscu). The /hi (homeinvite) command arguments are reversed to now be "/hi player homename", so that if you only have one home, you only have to type "/hi player".
in addition, I have added the "id #" of a home to /homelist and modified /hi to accept an ID, so you can type "/hi player 4" to invite player to your home with the id #4.
fixed a localization bug for a homeinvite message
added "core.bedhome2clicks" option (default: true), which enables or disables the 2-click requirement for setting a bed home
added "core.bedHomeMustBeNight" option (default: false) which requires that it be night time in order to use the bed to save a home (single player mechanics)

v1.5 - April 15, 2012

refactored storage subsystem in preparation for home invite feature
coded full YAML backend on new storage subsystem; storage type YAML for individual YAML files per object (home/spawn/player) or YAML_SINGLE_FILE for a large single data file. YAML storage types are cached in memory for fast, efficient access. You can use the backup/restore feature to backup an existing SQL database, then convert to YAML and restore if you want to switch.
Ticket #28: home invite feature enhancement. Local testing works good, but needs mass-testing so I'm looking forward to feedback on this feature. Read the documentation.
Ticket #77: show MC spawn (use /spawnlist -m)
added /setmapspawn for changing a map's spawn point (not really useful for HSP in any way, just a general utility command)
added /groupquery command for troubleshooting group problems
added /homelistother command to list other people's homes (permission: hsp.command.homelistother, alias: /hlo)
BREAKING CHANGE: old-style permission "hsp.command.xxx.use" no longer works; use new-style "hsp.command.xxx" (old-style permission has been deprecated since 1.0 six months ago, finally cleaning up the code)
Ticket #72: fixed WorldGuard compatibility to work with newest WorldGuard 5.5 changes
added Dutch translation; locale nl (thanks @Dunncann!)

v1.4.3 - March 4, 2012

fixed a reported bug with new installations throwing DB version upgrade errors
saved an extra permission check on block place when using 'bedsethome'. Thanks to @Chrisjon for reporting the issue.
Ticket #73: HSP throws NPE if World doesn't exist (R6 issue)
Ticket #74: issue with first spawn when using Bukkit world-container setting, issue fixed for all strategies

v1.4.2 - February 23, 2012

This release is compatible with R5 (the new Bukkit event system)
Ticket #69: Fix Russian encoding (again)
Fix for WorldEdit error message printed on startup with latest release versions of WorldEdit (5.2, 5.3 in the future)

v1.4.1 - February 15, 2012

Ticket #70: first spawn not working correctly
Ticket #69: Russian encoding wrong (hopefully fixed, need confirmation)
fixed a bug related to bed homes when using MODE_HOME_BED_ONLY, which resulted in the bed homes not being used at all
converted persistence engine to "Bukkit Persistance Reimplemented" http://goo.gl/c9WjB - the main effect here is that HSP is now friendly to live reloading using plugins such as PluginReloader, thus it can be live-reloaded for upgrades or plugin testing (mostly helps me as the developer)

v1.4 - February 10, 2012

added German locale (de) - thanks Jobsti!
added Russian locale (ru) - thanks MSTrus!
"core.newPlayerStrategy" option added and default is changed to PLAYER_DAT which looks for "player.dat" file int he default world. If you have issues with newPlayer detection not working like you expect you can change this to "ORIGINAL" or "BUKKIT" (for Bukkit's .isNewPlayer() method), although I suspect most people will prefer the PLAYER_DAT method since that will depend exclusively on the "player.dat" file, which is how most people expect new player detection to work.
Ticket #18: added "modeRequiresBed" to require existence of a bed for other home strategies in a given strategy chain. See the strategy documentation for more details.
Ticket #64: "price%" showing up when charging players using default english localization

v1.3.1 - January 14, 2012

finished off localization of strings, HSP strings are now fully localized. Now it just needs translations other than just English!
fixed a bug with limit cascading (unreported)
Ticket #47: permission system "op" taking precedence over "superperms"
Ticket #50: WEPIF not being used when using WorldEdit release 5.0
Ticket #54: NPE related to HSP localization in /home command
Ticket #48: Support for /groupspawn group arguments (permission: hsp.command.groupspawn.named)

v1.3 - January 1, 2012

enhancement, Ticket #22: /homedelete to accept w:world argument
enhancement, Ticket #29: stuck in chunk hole when teleporting
enhancement, Ticket #23: i18n (internationalization) support (config option: core.locale)
added "core.defaultMessageColor" option for changing default message color
message localization is NOT complete! There are a LOT more strings to be added, I've just gotten the work started (maybe 25% done).
will need volunteers for additional langauges. English ("en") is the only one provided at this time.
BIG BIG thanks to Hidendra (LWC) for letting me adapt his localizaton code for HSP's use

Documentation for localization changes coming soon.

v1.2.2 - December 29, 2011

Bugfix release
Ticket #37/#38/#40: first spawn not working properly
Ticket #36: SQL CONSTRAINT error due to new player check not working (related to #37 above)
Ticket #42: /setspawn not setting default spawn (related to #37 above)
Ticket #43: "basic" config being copied into config_defaults.yml
Ticket #39: NoClassDefError for WEPIF: now prints warning if using old version of WorldEdit instead
Ticket #32: implement "group.XYZ" groups for Superperms (code borrowed from WEPIF)

v1.2.1 - December 25, 2011

Ticket #33: fixed a bug in some situations with new player checks on PLAYER_JOIN

v1.2 - December 25, 2011

Ticket #24/#25/#30: cooldowns per-permission, per-world and per-home
Ticket #24: warmups per-permission and per-world
Ticket #24: cost per-permisson and per-world
Ticket #25: add cooldown for /sethome
Ticket #25: separate timer for "home-named" and "sethome-named"
added a "basic" config.yml that is copied in place if none exists. This is a bit simpler for new users to understand - the "config-defaults.yml" always contains the full listing of options available.
added /spawnlist and /spawndelete commands
added "spawnLocalRandom" strategy for spawning at a random spawn point on the local world
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

v1.1.3 - December 19, 2011

Ticket #31: bugfix for /sethome taking money when player is at home limit

v1.1.2 - December 17, 2011

Ticket #27: fix permissions for perm systems not supporting superperms
some code cleanup/refactoring
The above changes come with a new config option "permissions" which allow you to select which permission system you want to use. By default it will go through the list and use the first available, but now you can change it if you want (for example, maybe you prefer to use WEPIF instead of Vault). Check "config_defaults.yml" in your HomeSpawnPlus directory for an example.

v1.1.1 - December 8, 2011

Ticket #21: fix for HSP throwing NPE when a world has been deleted
Ticket #21: fix for "/homelist <world>" not working properly
added "onNamedHomeCommand" event type, called when player types "/home name". New strategy "homeNamedHome" was added to match. This doesn't change default functionality any, but it allows admins to influence the outcome of a player typing "/home name" using home modes - for example you could use "modeHomeNoBed" to disallow players using their bed homes on "/home name".
added ability for HSP to respond to console commands to "/hsp" (so you can "/hsp rc" to reload the config from the console, for example)

v1.1 - December 4, 2011

Ticket #15: fixed a bug with modeHomeNoBed strategy
Ticket #16: better firstLogin detection, check world/players/player.dat
Ticket #17: fixed an NPE bug with /groupspawn command if no groupspawn is defined
Ticket #19: fixed issue with warmups being canceled due to movement detection being too sensitive
Ticket #13: new feature, config param "homeLimits.singleGlobalHome" to enforce a single global home that always changes when using /sethome (or a bed)
new permission "hsp.singleGlobalHomeExempt" to be exempt from "singleGlobalHome" restriction
added WorldEdit WEPIF support, which supports more permission systems for those who have WorldEdit (only used if Vault is not present)
Fixed permission->world->global spawn strategies so they fall through. Before, if a perm.onHomeCommand strategy was defined, but not perm.onDeath and a player died who matched the perm, they would not get the world-specific or global onDeath like you would expect. This is fixed.

v1.0.2 - November 29, 2011

fixed permission "hsp.command.sethome.named" to be correct
added modeHomeNoBed mode strategy

v1.0.1 - November 27, 2011

fixed a new SQL-related bug related to setting bed homes
no upgrade instructions; just use 1.0.1 instead of 1.0

v1.0 - November 27, 2011

NOTE, NOTE, NOTE!! This version and above is ONLY for MC 1.0 on Bukkit builds #1464 or higher! (recommend latest #1519 and above!). Stay on HSP v0.9.1 until you've upgraded to #1464 or higher!**

added ability for HSP to have multiple named homes per world (if you give your players access to /sethome)
added config options to limit the number of homes globally, per-world or per-permission group (defaults to 1 per world, which maintains the same behavior before this feature was added)
added per-world event control capabilities, so that you can define an event strategy chain that takes place only on a specific world
added per-permission event control capabilities
added new "onGroupSpawn" event type so that admins can define custom strategy chains even for /groupspawn
many new strategies added, see web strategy doc for full details
strategy "modes" added, which modify how existing strategies work to provide additional flexbility and control
changed base command permission to no longer need ".use" suffix. ".use" suffix is deprecated but still works for now.
new strategies required some small DB schema changes, added additional code to make DB upgrade seamless even for SQLite users
updated configuration to use Bukkit's new preferred YamlConfiguration classes (This is where the 1.0 requirement comes from)
fixed a bug that prevented groupspawn from working properly
added a "config_defaults.yml" file which will always contain the most current plugin defaults (for admin's reference)
new user commands added: /homelist, /deletehome, /setdefaulthome, /homeother
new op commands added: /sethomeother, /homedeleteother

v0.9.1 - November 26, 2011

This is a bugfix release. All of these bugs are already fixed in the 1.0 codeline, but as it may be a bit more time before I get 1.0 out the door, I wanted to put a small patch release out there that fixes some of the bugs that were reported. Thanks to those who reported issues.

fixed bug ticket #10: /groupspawn not working
fixed bug ticket #11: /spawn NPE (Vault-related)
fixed bug ticket #12: /home <player> unintentionally working for everyone

new feature: WorldGuard region-spawn support via "spawnWGregion" strategy
new feature: Economy fees using optional Vault dependency
new feature: spawnSpecificWorld strategy
new feature: spawnNamedSpawn strategy
new command: /setdefaultspawn to allow for defining the default spawn out of multiple named spawns that might exist in a world
new feature: usurpCommands - admin can specify commands s/he wants this plugin to takeover if other plugins are using it (ie. usurp "/home" from CommandBook, which loads first alphabetically)
new feature: implemented "spawnNearest" spawn strategy

v0.8 - September 27, 2011

changed base permission prefix from 'HomeSpawnPlus' to 'hsp'
added flexible spawn/home strategies, see default 'config.yml' or documentation
added warmup capability
added firstLogin capability for newbie spawning
conceptual notion of "nearest" spawn/home introduced, strategy not fully implemented yet
config options have changed, automatically move old one out of the way and copy the new default into place
implemented data backup and restore (use /hsp backup, /hsp restore)
added Superperms permission nodes
BUGFIX: fixed problem that prevented sleeping in beds at night
BUGFIX: fixed a bug that prevented group spawning from working properly

v0.7 - July 17, 2011

made it so "defaultWorld" is also the default spawn world for new players
added "core.defaultPermissions" so admins can enable defaultPermissions if they aren't using a Permission-compatible plugin
added an option for telling HomeSpawnPlus to track player last logout location and send them there on next login (if onJoin="default"), instead of letting default Bukkit track location, which seems to get it wrong sometimes (sends people to surface or down into lava, etc)

v0.6.2 - July 9, 2011

Added ability for players to delete their homes (/home delete)
Fixed multihome spawning

v0.6.1 - July 3, 2011
