This updates adds configuration and permission options to provide greater control over the plugin. It is fully compatible with current setups; your config file will be updated automatically.

The changes include:

• The ability to differentiate between clients older than the server version and clients newer than the server version.
• Additional exempt permissions (which apply to the player connecting to the server).
• A permission so admins don't get notified if a player's client matches the server version.
• A config item to explicitly disable bStats metrics collection, especially for mrfloris and SlimeDog.
• Removal of the log entry if the listener priority is normal (which it is for 98% of the servers).

Thanks to akemin-dayo for the config/permissions changes.

See the overview page for details on the new permissions. Remember, all you really need to do is give the permission viaversionstatus.notify to admins you want to receive in-game version notifications when other players join. If you give yourself the '*' permission, you might also want to set viaversionstatus.notify.ignoresame to false.
