Changelog – ModNVote

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is loosely based on Keep a Changelog.

[1.1.5] – GUI voting & stronger privacy

• Added a GUI-based voting flow triggered via /modnvote.
  • Players now click Yes or No in a menu instead of typing /modnvote yes or /modnvote no.
  • This avoids vote choices appearing as chat or command entries in the server console/logs.
• Removed the /modnvote yes and /modnvote no subcommands entirely.
• Ensured vote handling:
  • Verifies the existing tally’s integrity before accepting a new vote.
  • Applies the vote only if the tally is cryptographically valid.
  • Recomputes and stores a new HMAC after the vote to maintain the integrity seal.
• Improved player feedback:
  • On voting, players are told whether the tally was valid before their vote and that the integrity seal has been re‑applied after.
  • /modnvote status now reports:
    • whether the tally is cryptographically valid or not, and
    • whether the tally currently includes a vote from the viewer.
• Kept admin tools (audit, fullaudit, reset, reload, verify) while tightening their messaging around integrity status and compromised tallies.

[1.1.4] – Integrity messaging & docs

• Refined integrity checks and error handling around the HMAC tally seal.
• Improved messages when verification fails, including clearer guidance for staff.
• Updated README and documentation to better describe the privacy and integrity model.
• Added a structured CHANGELOG.md to track future changes.

[1.1.3] – Clean rebuild & repository hygiene

• Rebuilt the project cleanly in a fresh Gradle setup.
• Restored and fixed CI workflows for GitHub Actions.
• Tightened SQLite schema and DAO handling.
• Updated README to reflect the production‑ready state of the plugin.

[1.1.2] – Initial public release

• First public release of ModNVote as a PaperMC voting plugin.
• Core features:
  • Yes/No voting with per‑UUID and per‑IP checks.
  • SQLite persistence.
  • Basic cryptographic sealing over tallies and participant lists.
  • Admin audit commands and PlaceholderAPI support.
