Commits

• 681372c Update for 1.16.2.

Release v4.0.0
This release adds support for Spigot 1.16.x. Sky change functionality is fully supported. The freeze feature is partially supported, as the desired effect is only produced sometimes.

API Changes
Breaking Changes
The SkyPacket enum values have been changed to more accurately reflect what they represent.

• SkyPacket.FADE_VALUE -> SkyPacket.RAIN_LEVEL_CHANGE
• SkyPacket.FADE_TIME -> SkyPacket.THUNDER_LEVEL_CHANGE

Other notes

• The Bukkit SkyChangeImpl class has been refactored to be easier to maintain and understand. This refactor has been tested on all versions from 1.8 to 1.16.
• The 1.15 freeze warning has been removed as the feature seems to be working as expected on that version.
• Added a freeze warning to 1.8 as the player is still able to move. The chunks are still unrendered, so it is partially supported.

Commits

• 15c6f88 Majority of the noted changes.
• b18df2d Change jCenter to https on README.md

Release v3.1.1
This release adds support for the French language (fr_FR). bStats has also been updated to v1.7

SkyChanger-Core is now properly exposed as an api dependency, so you shouldnt have to include it as a separate dependency anymore.

Commits
v3.0.1-bukkit...v3.1.1

Bukkit Release v3.0.1

This release adds full support for Spigot 1.15. The freeze feature is not functional on this version. A warning message indicating this has been added. This is the case on 1.13 as well. For some reason, on 1.14 it's functioning as expected.

More importantly, all sky change functionality is working.

Commits
v3.0.0...v3.0.1-bukkit

Release v3.0.0
This release modifies the base command to add an additional optional parameter. Japanese is now a supported language.

/SkyChanger <#> [#]

The second number sends an additional packet to the client, which can be combined with the first number for more color possibilities. This argument is optional, and can be omitted. Note that if it is not present, the second packet will not be sent altogether.

Ex.

/SkyChanger 4 = red
/SkyChanger 4 10 = light blue
/SkyChanger 4 = light blue (second packet is unchanged)
/SkyChanger 4 0 = red (second packet is reset to 0)

This release also includes a large refactor of the codebase, moving all the core functionality to a core module. This will make maintenance easier in the future, as most of the code will only need to be edited in one place. This refactor includes some API changes.

API Changes

Breaking Changes
There is now a single API class for both implementations. Each implementation will have a SkyChanger class which can be used to grab the implementation-specific version.

com.dscalzi.skychanger.bukkit.api.SkyAPI → com.dscalzi.skychanger.core.api.SkyAPI
com.dscalzi.skychanger.sponge.api.SkyAPI → com.dscalzi.skychanger.core.api.SkyAPI

The API functions now take an IPlayer as an argument. New usage:

api.changeSky(SkyChanger.wrapPlayer(player), 3F)

New Features
You can now send two packets to change the sky color. Each packet is represented by the new SkyPacket enum.

• SkyPacket.FADE_VALUE = Original packet (id 7)
• SkyPacket.FADE_TIME = New packet (id 8)

SkyAPI offers a new function allowing you to change the packet.

boolean changeSky(IPlayer player, SkyPacket packet, float number);
ex.

api.changeSky(SkyChanger.wrapPlayer(player), SkyPacket.FADE_VALUE, 4F)

Other changes

• a231569 Added Japanese language file.
• 18fdda5 Minor correction to the Chinese Language file

Release v2.1.0
This release adds a new argument to the change sky and freeze commands. You can now target all players within a specific radius. To do this, use the -r flag.

Ex. /skychanger 3 -r 150

This flag requires additional permission.

Ex.

• skychanger.changesky.radius.* Access to the radius flag for any radius.
• skychanger.changesky.radius.150 Access to the radius flag for any value up to 150.

Commits

• f47e474 Radius feature for Bukkit implementation.
• 325ed93 Radius feature for Sponge implementation.
• ee4b952 Corrections to the Italian language file.

Bukkit Release v2.0.2
This release adds full support for Spigot 1.14. The freeze feature required a new implementation due to changes to the world structure internally.

Changes

• 4bd62f0 Updated the freeze feature to support a 1.14 implementation. Also added an implementation for 1.13, although it does not seem to produce the desired result.

Release 2.0.1 - Upgraded bStats

This minor release upgrades bStats to v1.4. Older versions of bStats do not comply with Sponge's Ore Plugin Submission Guidelines.

Dependency Upgrades

Release 2.0.0

This update adds support for Sponge API 7. The project has been modularized into two subprojects, SkyChanger-Bukkit and SkyChanger-Sponge. All Bukkit functionality has been ported to sponge. If anything is missing or broke, please file an issue.

Breaking API Changes
If your plugin depends on SkyChanger, you will need to make the following changes.

• Update your maven/gradle to point to SkyChanger-Bukkit. The SkyChanger project is now deprecated and will be removed eventually.
• Change all packages com.dscalzi.skychanger to com.dscalzi.skychanger.bukkit.

All 2.x.x versions are INCOMPATIBLE with 1.x.x. Please update as soon as possible.

Changes
Normally I would list all relevant commits, but there are too many with this update. You can find the full changeset here.
