Changelogs

• Fixed the error "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal group reference: group index is missing" when there is a regex keyword in chat message, e.g., $, \.

You're highly recommended to update to this release as soon as possible. There are no changes to config.yml so it's a simple drag-and-drop replacement.

If you don't apply the changes, the plugin will still function properly (i.e., reads in default values). Just that you may lose the opportunity to configure some of the new options and messages.

Changelogs

• Improved the approach in choosing the best ping-getting strategies based on server versions
  i.e., apply legacy NMS reflection for legacy versions (1.8 - 1.15), apply new built-in ping retrieval method for modern versions (1.16 - 1.20)
• Introduces 0 as the absolute minimum after normalisation of ping values.
  Any values lower than 0 indicate an error in the ping calculation process.
• Added some new messages in handling a few scenarios of insufficient permission.
• Added HEX colour support.
• Specified API version for 1.13+ versions.
  
• Refactored some of the code sections to optimise things by a bit.

This release is compatible with any 1.8+ versions and has been tested on servers of 3 different versions: 1.8.8, 1.12.2 and 1.19.3.
