This is a major update. Old configuration files are not compatible. A migration guide is available here: https://github.com/ServerSelectorX/ServerSelectorX/wiki/Migration-guide-v2-to-v3

New features:

• 'conditional' section replacing the previous online, offline, and dynamic sections. This allows for new functionality, you can now also change the item based on PlaceholderAPI placeholders, potion effects, open menus, and more!
• 1.19 support
• 'chat' action to send chat message from the player clicking an item
• Allow configuring actions for empty slots (for example for servers using a resource pack to retexture the menu)

Bug fixes:

New features:

• 1.18.2 support

Bug fixes:

• Fixed hex colors being downsampled for adventure minimessage title/lores

• item-nbt-api from 2.9.1 to 2.9.2

(This is an update for SSX-Connector, SSX is unchanged)

Enhancements:

• Now catches errors during placeholder parsing so if one of your placeholder plugins/extensions/addons has a bug, other placeholders will continue working
• Added timeouts to requests, this prevents async tasks from getting stuck and leaking memory
  
• Set API version to 1.13 so spigot doesn't have to load the compatibility layer. The plugin will still work fine on 1.7.10-1.12.2 (it doesn't use any of the features the legacy compatibility layer was made for)

Library updates:

• Gson from 2.8.6 to 2.8.9
• bStats from 2.2.1 to 3.0.0

SSX-Connector update. Changelog:

• Allow installing and uninstalling addons without restarting (especially useful for modded servers)
  
• One permission node ssxc.admin for all /ssxc subcommands (previously, some subcommands had their own permissions and some didn't have any)
• Updated bStats from 1.7 to 2.1.0

For the changelog, see the previous update. I accidentally uploaded the old zip file instead of the new one when publishing the update.

⚠️ Breaking changes ⚠️

• The non-legacy version (1.13+) now requires Java 11+
• If you used left/right click actions in the menu, you will need to update the config
• If you used player names for heads (in the legacy version), you need to change those to UUIDs.

New features:

• Added option to only cancel drop/move for SSX items
• Include online status for servers in HTTP API
• New cooldown option for items in menus, along with a cooldown-actions setting.
• head:uuid now automatically makes a Mojang API request to get the base64 head texture value, this means that heads load quickly and reliably now.
• Old SSX items are now removed from the player's inventory, even without clear-inv: true

Bug fixes:

• NBT API update checker is now properly disabled, no more annoying messages
• Right/left click actions now work the same as hotbar items (actions, left-click-actions, right-click-actions, you can use multiple at the same time)
• Fixed submenus not working reliably on 1.16.2+ when holding an SSX item

Library updates:

• bStats from 1.7 to 2.1.0
• NBT API from 2.6.0 to 2.7.1
• Jetty from 9.4.34 to 9.4.37 (legacy version)
• Jetty from 9.4.34 to 11.0.1 (non-legacy version)

Quick bug fix release to fix errors introduced in the previous version for servers with PlaceholderAPI installed.

No breaking changes! This update is a drop-in replacement, however if you are not on 1.16 you can probably skip this update. Only SSX has been updated, you do not need to update SSX-Connector.

New features:
- 1.16.4 compatibility
- Set durability for items in non-legacy version using the new 'durability' option

Fixed:
- Submenus not working on 1.16.2+
- Typo in default config (action instead of actions), resulting in items not doing anything and causing confusion

This release has some breaking changes related to the API (connector, config sync, etc). However, because of the security improvements this brings I recommend spending a bit of time to update your servers to this version, especially if you run your servers without a proper firewall.

You will need to update both SSX and SSX-Connector at the same time.

Breaking changes:

• New host option in api.yml, which defaults to 127.0.0.1. If you update, the API will only be accessible on localhost. This makes sure that the API is not exposed to the internet even if there is no firewall installed. If you are using shared hosting or are in some other situation where the API needs to be open to the internet, add host: 0.0.0.0 to api.yml to make it bind to all interfaces like it did previously.
  
• Removed password support. Passwords were mostly useless anyway, and were only confusing users.
  
• Files API (used by config sync) disabled by default. Delete api.yml to get the option to enable it if you are using config sync.

Changes:

• 1.16.2 compatibility
• Compatibility with PlaceholderAPI 2.10.7+
  
• Comma separated slot numbers, finally! Use for example '2,4,6,7': instead of having to add 4 items
• Fixed placeholders being sent way too often when using more than one address with a low send interval. This bug could cause a lot of lag.
• Add support for server names with special characters. People speaking languages with characters not in the latin alphabet, enjoy!
• Many minor fixes that are not worth noting individually.

Breaking changes

• If you're using left-click-actions for items, the configuration has changed. Instead of 'actions' for right click and 'left-click-actions' for left click, the plugin now uses 'right-click-actions' for right click, 'left-click-actions' for left click, and 'actions' for both.

New features

• 1.16 compatibility
• Configurable values for missing placeholders (see misc.yml)

Fixed

• Old server names sticking around in /ssx status until the server was restarted (now this is cleared on /ssx reload as well)
  
• firstavailableserver action sending players to multiple servers at once

Other changes

• Updated jetty to 9.4.30.v20200611
• Updated NBT API to 2.4.1
• Disabled NBT API update checker to avoid update warnings in the future

A small update for SSX-Connector. ServerSelectorX hasn't changed.

• Fixed NoSuchElementException when running /ssxc placeholders
• Clear old ping errors (in /ssx status) when using /ssx reload
• Fixed player placeholders not working properly when sending data to multiple addresses
• Don't attempt to send data if server-name setting is empty
• Added option to disable caching
• various other minor changes

This update contains some breaking changes, please read before updating. You only need to update the SSX jar file, the connector hasn't changed.

Breaking changes:

• The effects.yml file is no longer used, please delete it to avoid confusion. Use join.yml for giving effects on join
• The toggleeffect action has changed from toggleeffect:name to toggleeffect:name:amplifier or toggleffect:name:amplifier:duration
• PlaceholderAPI placeholder namespace has changed from serverselectorx to ssx. If you use SSX placeholders in other plugins using PAPI, change serverselectorx to ssx in your placeholders.

New features:

• Join actions
• Exclude files from config sync
• addeffect: action with custom amplifier and duration
• Effect amplifier is now specified in the action instead of in a separate effects.yml file
• Text for PlaceholderAPI status placeholder is now configurable
• Head Database support! Use hdb:<id>

Bug fixes:

• Fixed PlaceholderAPI NullPointerExceptions when a player leaves the server
• Fixed dynamic modes less and more swapped
• Fixed config sync replacing non-latin characters with question marks
• Fixed config sync not syncing directories recursively
  
• NoSuchMethodException on player join on 1.7.10/1.8.8 servers with clear inventory enabled

Library updates:

• Updated Jetty to 9.4.28.v20200408
• Updated NBT API to 2.3.1. This version fixes a 1-2 second server freeze the first time the NBT API is used. You will also no longer see the update warning.
  
• Updated PlaceholderAPI to 2.10.6

These releases contain bug fixes and performance improvements. Changing the configuration is not required, so I recommend updating.

Sponge:

• Fixed plugin not loading when using another plugin/mod that used bStats

SSX-Connector:

• Fixed player placeholders not working when sending data to multiple servers
• More efficient internal data storage
• Added debug mode
• Rewritten error handling and made /ssxc status more user friendly
• When pinging multiple addresses, spread out requests. For example, with interval set to 5 seconds with 10 servers, instead of pinging all 10 servers at once every 5 seconds it will now ping one server every half a second.
• Fix concurrent modification exceptions with using some placeholders
• Added option to cache some placeholders (for example, configure the plugin to only refresh the rank prefix placeholder every 10 seconds instead of every time it pings a server)
• Added option to load some placeholders async (useful for plugins that need to get data from databases)
• Added command to view placeholder collection and caching statistics: /ssxc count

ServerSelectorX:

• No changes, no need to update.

This release contains some important bug fixes, I recommend updating as soon as possible. You do not need to change your configuration files, and you do not need to update SSX-Connector.

• Config sync: fixed files being deleted even when file deletion was disabled
  
• Fixed color codes in cooldown message
• Added option to disable menu updates as a workaround for the annoying item bounce animation issue on the legacy version
• Fixed custom NBT not working
  
• Fixed material: NONE not working in no-permission section
• Fixed permission not working for commands
• Added configurable no-permission message
• Fix PlaceholderAPI NullPointerExceptions when a player leaves the server
• Default menu refresh interval set to 5 seconds to reduce lag
• Configurable menu refresh interval

• Fixed wrong menu name in default config
• Fixed errror when cancel-item-drop was enabled https://github.com/ServerSelectorX/ServerSelectorX/issues/160

You do not need to update SSX-Connector. Only update from 2.0.0. If you are using an older version, please read the previous update.

Before updating, please note: Your old config files are not compatible. There have been so many changes that you'll probably have to go through the learning process again when configuring the plugin. Hopefully the learning curve is less steep this time, since I've improved the documentation and simplified the configuration. You'll have to upgrade everything, nothing is compatible. New connector, new addons, new everything.

Only update from v2.0.0-rc1, or do a fresh install!

• If you are using version 1.4.4, you do not need to update anything.
• The zip is very small now because it only contains a download link to the actual resource (Spigot didn't let me upload the file becauses it was too large, and it also didn't allow me to specify an external url)
• Fixed SSX-Connector system not working in v2.0.0-rc1
• Added jar file for 1.13 servers (it's the same plugin as for 1.14, but with the api version set to 1.13 so spigot will load it)

This is not a drop-in replacement! See https://github.com/ServerSelectorX/ServerSelectorX/wiki/Premium-|-Installation-Instructions

New version of ServerSelectorX. This version is made for 1.13 and 1.14 only and probably will not work on older versions. The old version is still included in the zip, and is still supported. Changes:
- Completely redesigned the layout of menu files, making the plugin easier to configure. The config file is much shorter now.
- Added a configuration synchronization feature. This allows you to automatically sync menus and other configuration files across servers, so you don't have to manually copy files to all servers after making changes.
- General performance improvements and bug fixes
- Allow the use of 1.13 and 1.14 item names

Please note that this is a release candidate and is not guaranteed to be stable. Additionally, not all wiki articles have been updated yet.

• New SSX-Connector addon for the plugin BuildBattle
• New SSX-Connector addon for sending PlaceholderAPI placeholders from other servers to the hub server
• Fixed SSX-Connector for Sponge not adding a 'key' option to the config file.

Note: ServerSelectorX and SSX-Connector for Spigot have not been updated. You do not need to update these plugins. For installing the new addons, see this wiki page.

SSX-Connector for Sponge API 7.1.0 (Minecraft 1.12.2). It does not support addons (yet). It will provide online/offline status and player count.
