Version 1.4.4 (2025-02-19)

🆕 New Features

• Added bStats Integration 📊
  • RealEstate now includes bStats, a lightweight metrics system for Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugins.
  • This helps the development team gather anonymous statistics such as:
    • The number of servers using RealEstate
    • Minecraft versions in use
    • Plugin version distribution
  • Why?
    • Allows us to prioritize updates for the most-used Minecraft versions.
    • Helps track adoption of new features.
    • No personally identifiable information is collected.
  • You can opt out at any time by disabling bStats in plugins/bStats/config.yml.

Version 1.4.3 (2025-02-14)

New Features

• Admin Claim Detection:
  • Improved the WorldGuard integration so that claims with no owner (i.e. an empty owner field) are now treated as admin claims.
  • In such cases, the claim’s owner is set to a constant SERVER_UUID (and displayed as “SERVER”) for consistency in sign updates and transaction validations.
• Instant Sign Update for Rent/Lease:
  • Modified the ClaimRent and ClaimLease update logic to update signs instantly—bringing their behavior in line with ClaimSell—so that players see the correct information immediately after placement.

Bug Fixes

• Owner Verification Issue:
  • Fixed an issue where players were incorrectly receiving the “You can only sell/rent/lease claim you own!” message on sign interaction.
  • The plugin now correctly determines claim ownership (including admin claims) using the updated WGClaim methods.
• Database Migration for Admin Claims:
  • Updated the SQL insert logic so that if a claim is detected as an admin claim, the owner field is set to the SERVER identifier.
  • This change ensures consistent behavior when loading data from the database.
• WorldGuard Integration Problems:
  • Resolved compatibility issues with WorldGuard and WorldEdit by updating our WGClaim implementation and adjusting our import statements.
  • The plugin now properly retrieves regions and their flags using the latest WorldGuard API.

Improvements

• Code Refactoring:
  • Cleaned up various sections of the code for better readability and maintainability.
  • Improved error handling and logging to make troubleshooting easier.
• Build & Dependency Updates:
  • Updated the pom.xml to ensure proper integration with the latest versions of WorldGuard, WorldEdit, Vault, and other dependencies.
• Documentation & Messaging:
  • Revised in-game messages and log outputs to provide clearer feedback for both players and administrators.

Version 1.4.2 (2025-02-13)

Admin Claim Support Improvements:

• When processing ClaimRent transactions, if a claim is identified as an admin claim, its owner is now set to “SERVER” (using a fixed UUID or identifier) to ensure correct behavior.
• The INSERT statements for ClaimRent now conditionally set the owner to SERVER if the claim is an admin claim.

Sign Update Consistency:

• Modified ClaimSell to update its sign immediately after creation.
• Updated ClaimRent to also perform an immediate sign update (by scheduling a one-tick delay) so that rental signs display correct information instantly.
• Updated ClaimLease to also perform an immediate sign update (by scheduling a one-tick delay) so that rental signs display correct information instantly.
• Updated ClaimAuction to also perform an immediate sign update (by scheduling a one-tick delay) so that rental signs display correct information instantly.

Database Handling Enhancements:

• Fixed issues with UUID parsing when loading transactions from the database.
• Improved error checking for owner values during data load to prevent invalid UUID strings.

Code Quality and Refactoring:

• Cleaned up repeated code between transaction types and centralized common behavior (e.g., sign updating and logging). ** Added missing getter methods for ClaimAuction, ClaimLease, ClaimRent, and ClaimSell to support proper database operations.
• Renamed the old transactions.data file to transactions.yml. (The plugin will automatically reformat if the old file is detected) ** This will be helpful for future upgrades.

Dependency and Compatibility:

• Ensured compatibility with the latest versions of Vault, EssentialsX, GriefPrevention, and GriefDefender. ** Added paper-plugin.yml to ensure Paper servers load the plugins in the correct order. ** Updated the plugin’s plugin.yml and paper-plugin.yml for API version 1.21.4.

General Bug Fixes:

• Resolved a bug where the sign for [sell] transactions remained blank.
• Addressed potential null pointer exceptions during claim data loading.
• Improved logging to capture and record transaction events more clearly.
