v1.3.2

This pull request consolidates and modernizes the CI/CD workflows for releasing and publishing packages, and updates a core dependency in the codebase. The main changes include replacing separate workflow files for the main and alpha branches with a single unified workflow, automating version tagging and release creation, and updating the plugin version and configuration class to use a new config type.

CI/CD Workflow Consolidation and Automation:

• Replaces .github/workflows/main.yml and .github/workflows/alpha.yml with a new unified workflow .github/workflows/release-and-publish.yml that handles both main and alpha branches, streamlining the release process and reducing duplication. [1] [2] [3]
• Adds automated steps in the new workflow to build the project, extract the plugin version, create git tags, and generate GitHub releases with uploaded artifacts, improving release traceability and automation.

Dependency and Version Updates:

• Updates the plugin version in gradle.properties from 1.3.1 to 1.3.2.
• Refactors Configs.java to use YamlConfig instead of the deprecated Config class for all configuration files, aligning with updated dependencies and improving maintainability.

v1.3.2

This pull request refactors the GitHub Actions workflow for releasing and publishing the project. The main focus is on simplifying the build and deployment jobs, removing unnecessary steps, and improving clarity with comments. The jobs for publishing to GitHub, Hangar, and Modrinth are now more streamlined and easier to maintain.

Workflow simplification and job improvements:

• The main build-and-release job has been renamed to publish-github, and the workflow no longer uses a separate build artifact step. Each publish job now builds the project independently, reducing cross-job dependencies. [1] [2]
• Removed the setup of GitHub Packages credentials and the use of artifact download/upload steps in all jobs, as they are no longer needed with the new approach. [1] [2] [3]

Build process and security improvements:

• Each job now includes explicit steps for checking out the repository and validating the Gradle Wrapper for improved security and clarity, with added comments explaining each step. [1] [2] [3]
• The build command now uses ./gradlew build shadowJar --stacktrace in all jobs, ensuring the shadow JAR is built before publishing. [1] [2] [3]

Publishing steps:

• Publishing commands for Hangar and Modrinth have been simplified to remove unnecessary Gradle properties, and comments have been added to clarify their purpose. [1] [2]

Version Management

• Incremented pluginVersion from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1 to reflect the new release.

v1.3.0

This pull request introduces several updates, including workflow enhancements, licensing changes, dependency updates, and significant refactoring to improve maintainability and functionality. The most important changes include adding environment variables to GitHub workflows, replacing a custom configuration management class with a shared utility, updating the plugin version, and refactoring the messaging system for better integration.

Workflow Enhancements:

• .github/workflows/alpha.yml, .github/workflows/beta.yml, .github/workflows/main.yml: Added GPR_USER and GPR_API_KEY environment variables to enable secure access to GitHub Package Registry.

Licensing and Documentation:

• Added the MIT License to the repository.
• Updated the license section to reflect the new MIT License and removed the previous "all rights reserved" statement.

Dependency and Version Updates:

• Updated pluginVersion from 1.2.1 to 1.3.0.

Refactoring and Codebase Simplification:

• Removed the custom Config class in favor of using the shared Config utility from lyttleutils.
• Updated imports to use the shared Config utility.

Messaging System Refactor:

• Replaced static initialization of Console and Message with instance-based initialization for better encapsulation and flexibility.
• Commands (BaltopCommand, LyttleScoreboardEconomyCommand, TokensCommand): Updated to use the refactored plugin.message instance for sending messages instead of the static Message utility.
