• Added another example script

Changes:

• Updated all dependencies to latest versions (including Jython to 2.7.4)

• Minor improvements to config file comments and JavaDocs

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue with the library manager attempting to load non-JAR files and folders

See the complete change log here: https://github.com/magicmq/pyspigot/releases/tag/v0.7.1

This update contains some breaking changes, as well as many other major additions, changes, and bug fixes.

Breaking changes:

• Removed the script dependency system. Scripts are now assigned a load priority in the script_options.yml file. Scripts with higher load priority load earlier than scripts with a lower load priority.
• The suppress-update-messages value in the config.yml has been changed to show-update-messages, and the default value is now true instead of false.
  
• The reloadConfig function in the config manager has been deprecated in favor of the reload function inside of the script config object. See the documentation for more information.

Other changes:

• Using print in a script now redirects the message to the script's logger and tags the message with the script's name when printing to the server console
• The script manager now returns a run result (RunResult.FAIL_SCRIPT_NOT_FOUND) instead of throwing a FileNotFoundException when attempting to load a script that doesn't exist
• With the new script plugin dependency system, scripts are now automatically unloaded if a plugin the script depends on is unloaded. This can be disabled by setting script-unload-on-plugin-disable to false in the config.yml
• Minor improvements in error logging
• Added additional aliases to some commands
• A lot of code cleanup/optimization

Additions:

• The plugin now official supports MC version 1.21
  
• Added the database manager to work with SQL and Mongo database servers
• Added the redis manager to work with redis servers
• Added a new SyncCallbackTask task type to the task manager
• Added support for creation of subfolders in the scripts and configs folders for better organization of scripts and config files
• Added doesConfigExist and deleteConfig functions to the config manager
• Added ability to specify script permissions in the script_options.yml
• Added ability to specify script plugin dependencies in the script_options.yml
  
• Added ability to specify default script options in the config.yml

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where the plugin would not display chat messages correctly on MC versions older than 1.16
• Fixed broken link when pinging Spigot for latest available plugin version
• Fix error when using /pyspigot info if ProtocolLib and/or PlaceholderAPI are not present on the server
• Fixed some dependencies not being properly relocated in the final pyspigot JAR file
• Fixed error when fetching config.yml default values
• Fixed broken Minecraft version parsing for versions newer than 1.20
• Fixed an error that would occur if attempting to unload active objects from a manager class in the stop function of a script
• Fixed an endless loop that would occur if an exception was thrown inside of a script's event listener when listening to ScriptExceptionEvent
• Fixed a bug where changes to a config upon using the set function were not reflected unless if a config was reloaded manually

This update contains several key bug fixes, and some minor changes and additions.

Additions:

• Wrote automated system to update the `pyspigot.py` library if any changes were detected, including a config option to disable this feature if desired

• PySpigot now checks if a script file exists before performing any load tasks
• The `/pyspigot reload` command now functions more like the `/pyspigot load` command for ease of use

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where a subclass event listener would be called if a superclass event of the listener fired
• Fixed a bug where directories within the plugin folder were not created on first run of the plugin
• Fixed a bug where an error would occur on script unload if the script's handler was never initialized
• Fixed a bug within an example script

• Fixed an issue where bStats metrics were not appropriately closed on plugin unload
• Fixed /pyspigot reloadconfig command printing usage messages

For the complete change log, see https://github.com/magicmq/pyspigot/releases/tag/v0.4.0.

There are a couple key bug fixes in this update, including:

• Fixed an error when unregistering certain event listeners
  
• Fixed delayed tasks (both synchronous and asynchronous) not being cancelled on script unload

For the complete change log, see https://github.com/magicmq/pyspigot/releases/tag/v0.3.1.

Most of the changes in this version do not affect functionality of the plugin. Most notable is the addition of metrics (by bStats). If you wish to disable this, you can do so by adding to PySpigot's config.yml.
