Improvements:

• Support Minecraft 1.21.5 (notably, URL click events are working again). This release adds support for the version-specific chat format used in 1.21.5.
• Added Fabric support.

Fixes:

• Fixed the "litebans reload" command on Paper 1.20+ not reloading the configuration (Spigot, Bungee, Velocity & Paper < 1.20 all unaffected). This was due to Paper remapping breaking stuff completely unrelated to NMS mappings.
• Fixed display names being limited by standard character limits for usernames (16 instead of 128 characters) in unban/unmute context.
• Fixed hex colours not working in `banned_message_geoip_blacklist` message.

API changes:

• LiteBans API 0.6.0
• Added template ID to Entry (hasTemplate(), getTemplateID())

Minor improvements:

• The `litebans.exempt` permission no longer grants `dupeip_join` exemption, this node must be granted explicitly.
• Support `templateName`, `templateStep` in broadcast messages and action commands.
• Support `serverOrigin` variable in banned_message_geoip_blacklist.
• Improved blocking of commands for muted players.
• Optimized template group handling.

Minor fixes:

• The /namehistory command will no longer list the same username twice.
• Fixed $active variable in messages not considering whether the entry has recently expired.
• Fixed `/litebans allow` only fetching online-mode UUIDs for users who have never joined the server before.

Notes:

• JSON update works on Spigot, BungeeCord, and Fabric 1.21.5. Velocity currently can't properly deserialize the updated JSON that LiteBans emits for 1.21.5 clients (no errors, though).

Since the Velocity API doesn't accept raw JSON elements, I can't send these to the client without using the protocol.

2.17.1:

Fixes:

• Fixed default configuration (only config.yml) not being copied correctly on first startup since 2.17.0.
• Fixed backwards compatibility with <= 1.21.4 clients regarding chat format. (I checked if `1.21.5 >= version` instead of `version >= 1.21.5` ...) - Bungee/Velocity unaffected, as they check the protocol version instead of server version.
• Fixed `litebans reset-database` parameter check.
• Fixed /lockdown related errors.
• Fixed shutdown bug on Fabric.
