Beta 4 Changes

No new features here, just some bugfixes that people have reported since the last rlease, specifically:

• UUIDs should now be usable in place of usernames in the bPermissions commands. Usernames can still be used.
• Players should now get any changes in permissions without having to log out and back in again
• All reloading bugs introduced in the last beta should now be patched

Beta 3 Changes

This release makes the loading and saving of files happen in a a seperate thread. This should massively improve any lag issues when saving and loading files, especially if your files are particually large. There are however some issues that you should be aware of when running a /bp reload with this update:

• Prefixes and suffixes will not show up in chat whilst reloading.
• Permissions should still work, however users will not have access to new permissions until after the reload

This should however prevent players lagging whilst the server is reloading, so they can still chat / manipulate the world and use other plugins.

Beta 2 Changes

This release adds a small bit of code within the logic for saving files within bPermissions - any user which meets the following criteria is not saved by bPermissions:

• User is in the default group
• User has no custom permissions
• User has no custom metadata

If a user does have some changes to it, bPermisisons will save it as normal.

This should fix bug #695 in the bugtracker, and other lag issues.

Beta 1 Changes

This is a beta based upon the current master branch of bPermissions. It has been running on my personal server for a month or so now with no major issues, so I'm releasing a beta to have more widespread testing of a couple new features in this build.

The major new features is the addition of a global users file and per world groups.yml! This has a few caveats to work properly:

• changes are not "live" - the files must be saved and reloaded before changes work
• the world "global" must be selected via commands to be able to modify the users

Other small changes include:

• addition of the username in the users.yml to make the files easier to edit manually
• some internal restructuring

Although I did promise a new commands structure, I probably will not implement this, as there is already a way to do a change using one command - the /exec command. However, I may instead make this command more user friendly. More tab completion within commands is planned for the next beta however.

THIS IS A BETA - PLEASE EXPECT BUGS. IF YOU ENCOUNTER A BUG, PLEASE REPORT IT SO I CAN FIX IT.

BACKUP ALL PERMISSIONS FILES BEFORE UPGRADING YOUR BPERMISSIONS!
"/permissions backup" command does this for you
THERE MAY BE A BUG WE DID NOT FIND IN OUR TESTING, IF THIS IS THE CASE, REPORT IT AND WE WILL FIX IT FOR YOU!
