Updates

Updating the plugin

1. Stop the server.
2. Replace the jar in plugins/ with the new version.
3. Start the server.

Automatic file updates

When a version adds options, they are added to config.yml and the language files with their documentation, and your values are kept.

• A backup is made in backups/ before any change.
• A file is only rewritten when an update has to add or change something in it.
• In config.yml, lang/en.yml and lang/pl.yml the comments above options then come from the default file. Notes after a value on the same line are kept.
• Custom language files keep your comments.
• Zone files are never changed automatically.

Tip

A reload with a YAML syntax error keeps the running setup, and the reply and the console name the file and the line.

Checking for new versions

Once at startup, in the background, the plugin reads the number of the latest version from https://szpontcode.pl/versions/szpontafkzone.txt. When a newer version is out, it tells the console and, when they join, players with the szpontafkzone.notify.update permission.

• The request contains no server or player data, only the plugin version in the User-Agent header. Like any web request, it shows the server’s IP address to szpontcode.pl.
• The check does not slow the server down.
• Turn it off with update-checker.enabled: false in config.yml (needs a restart), or turn off only the messages to players with update-checker.notify-on-join: false.
