Important Note

MineralManager 2.2 is a major cleanup of MineralManager, with even more performance tweaks to our algorithms and even better data storage / backup features. However, in order to improve our polygon containership algorithm, we had to change how regions are stored. Adding regions in MineralManager 2.2 will *permanently upgrade* your configuration, so make backups if you plan on going back to MineralManager 2.1.4.

Version 2.2

Released 2013-06-01

• Major performance tweaks in polygon containership algorithm (speed boost!)
• Major code re-factoring for consistency and performance.
• Removed MineralVein 1.3 importer code and a lot of other legacy code
• Upgrade active blocks storage to yaml for better compatibility

Version 2.1.4

Released 2013-02-19

• Refactor locked blocks into a faster bitmap structure

Version 2.1.3

Released 2012-08-21

• Backup .bin files when saving using save-rename flipping
• Add basic PluginMetrics reporting.

Version 2.1.2

Released 2012-08-18

• Lasso selection allows slash commands during selection
• Accept and show times as 'friendly' strings: '4m30s', etc

Version 2.1.1

Released 2012-08-17

• Implement a lasso selection conversation
• Lasso selection provides insight on how many points are selected.
• the help on the "/mm" command doesn't show advanced commands by default
• Add "/mm advanced" command to provide access to advanced commands

Version 2.1

Released 2012-08-12

New Features

• Add dialogue for region create, instead of complex commands.
• Regions are now stored in a yaml file which is human-readable
• Can select an entire world as a region

Upgrades

• Converts data from MineralVein 1.3
• Reloading server will respawn blocks at the original deadline, not at reload time.
• Add documentation to the config examples.
• Drastic performance improvements across the code base
• Some data formats have changed, and data will be converted on first run.
• Tested with CraftBukkit 1.3.1 RB
• /mm list command lists regions by world

Fixes

• Fix permissions issue with the /mm command.
• Fix issue with configurations not being properly attached to regions.
• Remove the /mm update command

Version 2.0

New Features

• Handle placed blocks that aren’t defined by the configuration file (i.e. knows which blocks were placed even if they were placed in a region). (Requested)
• Handles blocks with different data values. (Requested)
• Handles block ids. (Requested)
• Creative mode to allow placement of natural blocks and removal of managed blocks. (Requested)
• Ability to create "empty" regions that aren't managed. (Requested)
• Multi-world support to allow separate regions for different worlds. (Requested)
• Option to make blocks not re-spawn if their placeholder is destroyed (Volatile Blocks). (Requested)
• Multiple region selection methods. (Requested)

Upgrades

• Overhaul of regions and the config.yml file.
• Rebuild the plugin from the ground up to be more robust and modular.
• Uses less CPU and less RAM than the old plugin over time, and thus is more accommodating to larger servers.
• Regions are still managed within the game but their configurations are managed via the config.yml file.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where multiple commands being executed simultaneously would conflict.
• Multitudes of little things.

None.
