Dear all,
As with any major update there are small bugs to iron out. I am pleased to say that v1.8 has seemed to be working well for everyone, however I was made aware of two things.
This means that you need to update to v1.8.1 as soon as possible.
1. There is a security flaw in v1.8 which could result in some of your MultiChat data being lost if you had a particularly malicious player. Considering I myself have studied cyber security in depth, the fact I made this error is something I am horrified about. It was a complete moment of stupidity. It will not necessarily affect your day to day use of the plugin, but
PLEASE update as soon as possible to remove this vulnerability.
2. There is another small bug where if you regularly use nickname prefixes (for example the ~ character), it is being displayed in front of everyone's name even if they don't have a nickname. This has been fixed now.
IF YOU ARE UPDATING FROM v1.7.5 OR OLDER, THEN PLEASE READ THIS POST: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/multichat.26204/update?update=327096
Apologies for these issues, it was inevitable that there would be a v1.8.1 soon anyway, I am confident that 1.8.1 is now secure.
Thanks as always for using the plugin, and I hope to get working on 1.9 soon!
