Version: 1.1.0 Release Type: Critical Bug Fix

Critical Fixes - bStats Metrics Collection

This release fixes critical issues with bStats metrics collection that prevented accurate installation tracking.

Fixed:

• bStats Data Collection - Metrics initialization now occurs BEFORE API key validation
  • Previously, bStats was initialized after API key validation
  • When servers had invalid/missing API keys, the plugin would disable itself before bStats initialized
  • Result: Missing installation data on bStats dashboard
  • Fix: Moved bStats initialization to occur before API validation
  • Impact: All installations now tracked, regardless of configuration status

Code Quality Improvements:

• Error Handling - Added try-catch around bStats initialization to prevent crashes
• Metrics Storage - Changed from local variable to class field for better lifecycle management
• Logging - Added informative logging for bStats initialization success/failure

Technical Details:

• bStats initialization moved from line 67-69 to line 39-46
• Added private Metrics metrics; field for proper instance management
• All metrics operations now wrapped in error handling

Compatibility:

• Fully backward compatible with v1.0.8
• No configuration changes required
• No breaking changes
