NiftyBukkit

· Compatibility · Continues to support 1.7.10 through 1.8.x! · Requires NiftyBungee 2.0.0 or greater! · GSON has been shaded into NiftyCore to for easier backwards compatibility. · Experimental Sockets (Currently Unavailable). · Automatic bungee detection. · Takes over as primary Plugin Message handler (when using this plugin for Plugin Messages). · New SocketWrapper class for you to use for better handling of raw sockets. · New BukkitServerPingEvent class that can be used to expose the socket information and respond to ServerListPingEvents using reflection. · Maven Changes (IMPORTANT!) · A new project called NiftyCore (open source, available in description) is now the parent project for this project. · Classes belonging to SQL, HTTP, Minecraft (Pinging, Cross-platform Scheduler, Logging), Reflection, Utilities and YAML are now accessible through the class path: net.netcoding.niftycore. · Most classes originally in this plugin have been renamed and some have moved. You will need to fix imports inside your projects to locate these again, as well as change the names of anything not found. If an object type needs to be changed, it is most likely called Bukkit<OriginalClass> now. · This allows for a great freedom when using NiftyBukkit as a development tool, as you can choose between extending the core features located inside NiftyCore, or the features inside NiftyBukkit. · Plugin Messages · Now clears player list on successful ping, prevents incorrect list. · Loads entire list using GSON, saves processing time. · The BungeeListener interface no longer passes a Player object, as 9/10 times it will be unrelated to the message. · Information is now pre-converted to JSON to lower mass-processing time. · All methods now take a BukkitMojangProfile instead of a Player object. · SQL · Minimum connections has returned, this will help relieve stress by default. · No longer guesses at schema name using connection url and is now guaranteed to locate schema name across multiple driver types. · Mojang Repository · If an offline server sees a NullPointerException coming from BukkitMojangRepository, please send me the error! · The hasExpired method in profiles has been set to package only, it is not meant for developers. · Added an enum of Minecraft protocol numbers. If your protocol is not listed it will fetch it through my API (this information is not logged and the PHP files can be made available to those who wish to host it themselves). · Pinging · A lot of under-the-hood changes have occurred to make these classes more independent and function smoothly. · The isCurrentServer method located in MinecraftServer extended classes now matches current socket information. · Inventory/Items · Fixed a situation where NullPointerExceptions occur when looking up item aliases. · Reflection · getField now sets objects as accessible to avoid unreadable stack trace problems. · getField and getValue now support a search by type. · Added IS_SPIGOT reflected boolean in BukkitReflection. · A new BukkitReflection.getComatibleReflection method can now be used for those pesky classes that moved between 1.8 and 1.8.3. · SignMonitor · Now checks if the sign location is in the same world as the player before checking the distance between them. · Added the ability to send sign updates using tags. · Sped up constructor when large amount of keys are used. · YAML · Pulled a bug fix with '.' containing keys in maps. · No longer fails to load ItemStack from config with invalid/missing metadata. · General · Fixed BukkitCommand#isConsole checks. · The /nifty command now supports Player <-> UUID lookup taking advantage of anyone online or temporarily cached.

· Continues to support 1.7.10 through 1.8.x · Database · Added new asynchronous methods for executing queries and are being used throughout this package where applicable (These will not fire any exception, so make sure your code works before running it asynchronously) · Added new VoidResultCallback that's required when running an asynchronous query · Added new checkTableExists, checkColumnExists and getIdentifierQuoteString methods · When creating a new instance of an sql wrapper, it now uses 1 query instead of 3 to cache your database information (improves server launch

implementations now work across different types of sql servers · Connection pooling now tests and reinitializes a connection before making it accessible (customizable) · Use the InnoDB engine when creating tables if the driver is MySQL · Now uses UTF-8 when reading and storing data, allowing for UTF-8 information to be stored if your sql server setup allows it · The connection pool now creates new connections more quickly and no longer stores any unused connections for longer than 15 seconds · Fixed volatility of booleans in asynchronous threads · getConnection from SQL classes is now protected, developers who wish to run custom queries using this method will need to extend the class and override the method · The notification method getUpdatedRow no longer returns anything, and requires you to run your code inside the callback · Now creates the log table and purge event before adding notifications (previously resulted in an error which required one restart) · HttpClient now has a customizable default timeout of 3000 milliseconds, as well as new methods for a wider range of use · Reflection updates: · Cleaned up and added a new helper method that fixes getConstructor,

· EntityFinder: Checks if an entity is located on the server (or a specific world) · SkyFactory: Changes the color of the sky for a given player (may need to be updated to 1.8) · TitleManager: Can be

name or unique id logs in · Now takes an extended Collection instead of a List, to support Set (and strange Bukkit code) · BukkitTabCommand has been removed and incorporated into BukkitCommand, simply override onTabComplete (optional) · BukkitCommand has new methods: · setBungeeOnly: Tells the command listener that the command requires BungeeCord · setCheckHelp: Tells the command listener not to

state · isDetected tells you if BungeeCord has been detected and cached at least once · All methods previously taking a Player object now require a MojangProfile · When the last player leaves a server, it empties the BungeeServer cache to free RAM (this information is useless without any players anyway)
