Release Notes - KatIPAuth v1.2.0

Major Improvements

• Subnet Locking (BETA): Added a new experimental feature to allow players joining from the same subnet.
• Permission Refactor: Standardized all admin commands to use the ipauth.admin permission instead of OP status.
• Configurable Kick Message: The IP mismatch kick message is now fully customizable in config.yml with support for Minecraft color codes.

New Features & Tools

• Config Auto-Updater: The plugin now automatically adds missing settings and comments to your config.yml when updating.
• Discord Webhook Validation: Improved security by validating webhook URLs and skipping execution if using the default placeholder.
• Readable Time Formats: Commands like /ipinfo and /ipstatus now show time in a classic readable format (yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss) instead of raw timestamps.

Commands & Permissions

• /ipreset <player>: Now an admin-only command (ipauth.admin) that resets a target's IP and kicks them automatically.
• Improved Feedback: All commands now provide clear usage instructions and permission-error messages.

Security & Stability

• Beta Warning: Added a console warning when running experimental beta features.
• Webhook Resilience: Added checks to prevent plugin errors if the Discord webhook URL is invalid or malformed.
• Async Performance: Continued commitment to zero lag with async I/O and non-blocking network requests.
