This is the last bug release for the v3.2.x series. The next minor release will be v3.3.0 and will start to include the long awaited support for multi-language support. We will also keep including many exciting new features like we have with the last 18 months. As a word of caution, these future release may no longer be compatible with Prison's v3.1.1 release; it is planned to make the very much needed changes to file formats for the save files for the ranks, ladders, and maybe even the players. At this time, if you are running v3.2.6 there is a very good chance you can revert back to a prior release, all the way back to v3.1.1.

With this release we have introduced our first Prison event that we are firing before we actually update the block state from within the Auto Manager (auto pickup, or even handling of normal drops from within prison). This event is named tech.mcprison.prison.spigot.api.PrisonMinesBlockBreakEvent and will pass along many of the prison internals. API support has been added to support for sellall and backpacks. Moving forward we will be adding other important events that can help with customizing prison in many new and exciting ways, and to also make such customizations much easier since you will have direct access to our internal objects without going through hoops trying to locate them.

With this being the final bug release for the v3.2.x series, the addition of new items have been kept to a minimum and has been mostly focusing on stability.

With this final release, the following have been addressed and/or added:

• Significant enhancements and fixes to backpacks, sellall, and gui. Backpacks can now be disabled in specified worlds, and can have the size set/changed. Backpacks now have a new admin GUI.

• Prison's BlockBreak listeners will now only register if prison's mine module is enabled. The auto features will be disabled without the mine module.

• Prison now supports configuration settings for the listeners for BlockBreak related events. Supported levels are LOWEST, LOW, NORMAL, HIGH, HIGHEST, and DISABLED. Disabled will prevent the related features from working by never registering a listener. MONITOR is not supported since it is not recommended to change block states at this level. To change these settings please see the configuration file plugins/Prison/autoFeaturesConfig.yml under options.blockBreakEvents.*. The default values are LOW.

• New sanity check to require confirmation when creating a mine, or changing the size of a mine, to a size greater than 20,000 blocks. It was reported by one user that they accidentally messed up and had one point set in a previous mine, then set a point in the new mine which resulted in the destruction of a lot of their builds due to the large size the new mine. This sanity check will hopefully prevent possible errors like this.

• Placeholders have been changed to be case insensitive when performing replacements. This may help improve matching and identification of placeholders. These changes will not improve unicode matching.

• Double registering prison's placeholders with PAPI (PlaceholderAPI) so as to make it easier to use placeholders. Ever since Prison v3.2.0 placeholders were registered as all lowercase and the documentation has always clearly identified that this is the case, but few read the documents and/or stuck in trying to use all uppercase. Now uppercase usage will have better chance of working smoothly so there will be a lot less support issues raised.

• Added SellAllUtil to the Prison's API. Backpack admin GUI can now be accessed through the standard admin gui. The player GUI has support for more internal placeholders for more customization.

• The Minepacks maven repo was offline for a log time and was producing many build failures. Due to the instability of their maven repo, the generated jars were added directly to the project and the maven repo was disabled. The future prison builds will not be impacted by such repo failures from that repo again.

• Added PrisonMinesBlockBreakEvent to all auto manager event handlers. This allows the processes to be canceled and provides a wealth of internal objects to any other plugin trying to use this event. This could make it a lot easier to write customized plugins or to change the behavior of prison. This event is fired before actual updates are applied and after all of the other features have been filtered.

• Starting to add PrisonMinesBlockEventEvent class that will be fired prior to the BlockEvents. It will not be enabled until a future release.
