Features

• Implemented update-checker and notifier for player about new plugin releases.
• Remade configuration-system to improve reload-process and reduce methods in some classes, all configuration-containers were encapsulated into a single-class ConfigurationManager,

Changes

• Some classes were renamed to a more-appropriate name according to their package (Major).
• Removed some enum-constants from ModificationContext as they are no longer used (Major).
• Now handleClickLogic(...) method will return a value-object with information about the clicked-item (only if item is valid, or is not AIR), this also reuses the ItemMeta for the item (to avoid repeated-creation when calls to super-class and implementations) (Major).
• Removed deprecated-methods for PlayerAggregateRoot class (Major).
• Removed TagModifierService and adapt TagModificationProcessor for changes, and input-processing, and move most-logic to processor's implementation (Major).
• Reused ItemStack references when a menu-item will be used through multiple-slots.
• Included more-abstractions, and define duplicated-logic into utility-classes for menu-items and reduce boilerplate-code on menus-implementations.
• Re-structured infrastructure-logic, common-logic between infrastructure-implementations was moved into abstractions depending on infrastructure-type.
• Tried to improve readability by using switch-block in InfrastructureRepositoryController#selectAndInitialize.
• Now when retrieving a repository's information (if the interface-contract permits it), a "viewer" collection will be returned instead of original cache-collection to avoid possible non-desired data-management by thirds.
• Now tag's information only will be saved if they were modified.
• ...

Fixes

• Exception due to access to a placeholder-hook's implementation when soft-dependency is not available.
• Exception when saving player's information due to a incorrect null-check for selected-tag field (for JSON infrastructure) .

• Now when handling JSON serialization/deserialization the null values will be serialized directly, instead of using empty-strings. - 30e89a5
• Now PlaceholderHook implementations return tags' visual-information directly from the PacketAdaptationContract, and they'll return null only if the placeholder is not valid. - 16157d5 521757a
• Any cached TagAggregateRoot will be saved post cache-deletion only if removal-cause was EXPIRED. - 7f1de38

Fixes

• Duplicated data-row when aggregate-root saving for MongoDB implementations. - d7ebd8c

Features

• Added support for PlaceholderAPI and MiniPlaceholders plugins, as well, legacy-chars parsing for valid conversion to modern component.

• Implemented edit-mode through menu and chat-input for tag's properties modification.

Changes

Major

• Now the TagPropertyChangeEvent event will provide only the tag's id and the modification-context.
• Implemented async-reload function for the plugin's configuration-files.
• Improved code's quality, delegated non-implemented-by-all-subclasses methods to specified interfaces.

Minor

• Now the TagModifierService's methods for prefix and suffix modification will check for both values' nullability before content-checking.
• Renamed modify sub-command to edit.
• Removed unnecessary calls in PacketAdaptationModule#createTeam for team's properties-setup (which have to check again-and-again if the team exists), now it uses directly the PlayerTeam reference for the properties-configuring.
• Fixed duplicated-documentation at package tag.application of the api sub-project.
