HuskHomes

HuskHomes 4.0 is a new major release bringing with it a large-scale rewrite of HuskHomes' internal plugin logic to address the significant number of bugs and stability in HuskHomes v3.x, and make a selection of user experience improvements.

I would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused issues present in the last major version, which particularly affected users making use of HuskHomes' cross-server functionality. Although this release doesn't contain any significant new features, the nature of the rewrite means that it has introduced breaking API changes, necessitating a major version bump.

Updates are also releasing today for HuskHomesPlaceholders (the PlaceholderAPI expansion) and HuskHomesGUI (the GUI add-on).

New features & improvements

• Added an option to disable commodore brigadier-style TAB completion to better support command and command-namespace hiding plugins.
• The global player list used for TAB completing usernames has been made significantly more accurate
  • It is now restricted to only servers with HuskHomes on and which are in the same cluster.
  • The list is even more accurate when using Redis due to limitations of the plugin message broker
• The server auto-fetching system has been removed due to instability; you must now ensure the server name is set correctly on first-time setup.
• The Global Respawning feature will now teleport users to your global spawn rather than just the local spawn on that server, if you are using the Global Spawn feature.
• Renamed a few plugin permissions (consult the updated docs for more information):
  • huskhomes.bypass.teleport_warmup -> huskhomes.bypass_teleport_warmup
  • huskhomes.bypass.rtp_cooldown -> huskhomes.command.rtp.bypass_cooldown
  • huskhomes.bypass.economy_checks -> huskhomes.bypass_economy_checks
• /phome and /phomelist are now the primary aliases of the public home and public home list commands, instead of /publichome and /publichomelist
• Improved TAB auto-completion for homes, public homes & warps, including automatic filtering for public homes by dot-delimited user prefixes
• Removed the migrator from HuskHomes v2.x; please update to v3.x and then to this release to migrate your data. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
• You can now customise the name of the public home and warp marker group names displayed on map hooks through the plugin locales
• You can now use the /spawn command to teleport a player to the spawn by name (/spawn <player>); requires the huskhomes.command.spawn.other permission and can be executed through console
• Commands executed through console have been improved; they will now display the same as in-game, with full formatting support
• You can now edit and delete homes and warps (but not their location) through console

Bug fixes

• Fixed the "Message Dispatch after 5 Seconds" error on cross-server setups, caused by extreme thread pool exhaustion.
• Fixed a crash where viewing attempting to view the warp list would crash the server in certain environments
• Fixed a bug where the overwrite_homes_warps feature would fail to overwrite the player's homes if they had reached the maximum number of homes
• Fixed a bug where sounds would fail to play in the previous version
• Fixed a bug where the /setspawn command would fail to write the cached spawn file to disk
• Fixed a bug where attempting to teleport similarly named players cross-server would fail occasionally
• Fixed a bug where players where it would sometimes not be possible to teleport users by name who had number-only usernames
• Fixed a bug where the update checker would incorrectly report that an update was available
• Fixed a bug where economy actions would not be correctly processed as hooks weren't properly being accessed
• Fixed a bug where map markers would not be updated properly when a change was made to a home/public warp on Dynmap/BlueMap
• Fixed issues where cancelling some API events would still display error messages to players

API changes

The API has underwent an overhaul, introducing a wide range of breaking changes. The vast majority of plugins built to work with HuskHomes v3 will not work with v4. Sorry about that. I hope that you find the new API easier to work with.

• Objects are now encapsulated with getter and setter methods where appropriate. For example, you now access information from a Home object with #getX(), #getWorld() etc.
• The selection of API events has changed; there's now a HomeCreateEvent and WarpCreateEvent and the old events fired on save have been replaced with new HomeEditEvent and WarpEditEvents
• API events now provide more methods for setting values to let you affect their outcome
• Creating objects is no longer done with constructors; making Positions is now done with Position.at(x, y, z, world, server); creating Worlds is now done with World.from(name, uuid)
• Methods and objects that require a server ID argument now just take a string (the name of the server).
• The Teleport API has been rewritten again.
• New methods for both creating and editing warps and homes, including some consumer methods for updating metadata tags
• For more information, please consult the updated API docs.

To update to this release from HuskHomes v3.x, you must regenerate your config, server (if you are using cross-server mode) and locale files. No data migration is necessary, as the database schema has not changed.
