What's in testing (commits in this push)

• 3865879 feat: more metrics for bstats ### Features - Added recordServerStartSignalSent method to track the total number of server start signals sent. - Implemented bStats custom charts to monitor server metrics like managed servers, total starts since boot, and panel types. ### Improvements - Enhanced compareVersions to sanitize pre-release and build metadata in version strings. - Introduced helper methods (sanitizeVersion, safeParseInt) for cleaner and safer version handling. - Optimized proxy shutdown process by including normalization and cleanup of the server list configuration. - Updated config.yml with clearer documentation for the shutdownOnProxyExit setting. ### Fixes - Resolved potential issues in handling malformed or null version strings in version comparison logic. Took 40 minutes (TubYoub)
• 4b444cd feat: configurable limbo and forced-host behavior ### Features - Introduced sendToLimboOnStart configuration option to enable sending players to a limbo server when their target server is starting. - Added forcedHostOfflineBehavior configuration with options (DISCONNECT, LOBBY_OR_LIMBO, LIMBO_ONLY) for managing forced-host joins when the target server is offline. ### Improvements - Enhanced logic to redirect players to holding servers (lobby or limbo) during server start scenarios, avoiding unnecessary disconnections. - Optimized connection flow to prevent redundant actions for players already connected to a limbo or lobby. ### Fixes - Correctly handle forced-host join failures by logging errors and falling back to default behavior when no valid holding servers are available. - Fixed potential issues with players being redirected or disconnected incorrectly during auto-connect routines. Took 46 minutes (TubYoub)

VelocityPteroPower Update: Whitelists, McSS Support, and Major Improvements!

This version of VelocityPteroPower brings, expanded panel support, and a host of under-the-hood improvements for better performance and stability.

Highlights of this Release:

New Features

• Server Whitelist Management:
  • Dynamically fetch, parse, and enforce server whitelists directly from your panel.
  • Manually reload whitelists with the /ptero whitelistReload command.
  • Configure whitelist settings per-server in your config.yml.
• Mc Server Soft Panel Support:
  • VelocityPteroPower now supports Mc Server Soft panels alongside Pterodactyl and Pelican!
  • Includes appropriate API handling (note: whitelist file fetching is not supported by McSS).

Key Improvements

• Major Code Refactor: Significant parts of the plugin have been rewritten to be more modular, reliable, and easier to maintain. This means a more stable experience for you.
• Enhanced Connection & Server Management:
  • Improved logic for handling player connections and server switches.
  • More robust server lifecycle management for starting and stopping servers.
  • Smarter handling for players attempting to connect to offline servers, redirecting to a limbo server if available.
• Improved API Key Handling: More reliable API key validation across all supported panel types.
• Clearer Logging: Logging has been improved for better diagnostics and clearer information.

Important Fixes

• Resolved issues with API key validation occurring at the wrong time.
• Addressed several log redundancies and optimized instance creation.
• Fixed issues related to API rate limit processing.
• Ensured more consistent whitelist enforcement.

As always, please back up your configuration files before updating.

Thank you for using VelocityPteroPower!

VelocityPteroPower v0.9.3.1 - Release Notes

This release focuses on enhancing server management flexibility, configuration options, and overall stability within VelocityPteroPower.

✨ New Features

• Configurable Server Status Check Method:
  • A new serverStatusCheckMethod option has been added to config.yml.
  • Choose between VELOCITY_PING (uses Velocity's built-in ping) or PANEL_API (uses Pterodactyl/Pelican panel API for higher precision, mindful of API rate limits).
• Adjustable Logging Level:
  • Control the plugin's log verbosity using the new loggerLevel setting in config.yml.
• Customizable Initial Check Delay:
  • The startupInitialCheckDelay option in config.yml allows you to configure how long the plugin waits before the first server status check after startup.
• Refined Limbo Server Handling:
  • Improved logic for handling limbo servers, including dynamic checks to ensure they are usable before redirecting players.
• Enhanced Messages:
  • Added new placeholders and messages to messages.yml.
  • The %limbo% placeholder can now be used in relevant messages.
  • New messages provide more detail during server startup and when encountering API rate limits.

🚀 Improvements

• Updated Server Startup Flow:
  • Players attempting to connect to a starting server will now be redirected to a configured limbo server (if available and usable).
  • Added pre-checks for Pterodactyl API rate limits before attempting to start a server via the API.
• Enhanced Logging:
  • Added detailed debug-level logging for server status checks and API interactions, aiding troubleshooting.
  • Improved detection and logging of potential panel or server misconfigurations.
• Optimized Server Shutdown & Retries:
  • Refined the server shutdown process and retry logic.
  • Now considers API rate limits and whether a server is empty before attempting shutdown actions.
• Version Checker Update:
  • De-duplicated critical update warnings.
  • Merged CRITICAL and HIGH urgency levels for update notifications for clarity.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Resolved an issue where players could be disconnected during target server startup if configured limbo servers were unavailable or unusable.
• Improved consistency in task handling and retries during the server shutdown sequence.
• Prevented unhandled exceptions during server status checks (both PING and API), ensuring graceful handling of rate limits and other unknown errors.

Issues: #10
