This is quite a large update. If you are somewhat paranoid about bugs, you are free to conduct additional manual testing. Nevertheless, this update is already deployed by several users and is quite stable due to an extensive automated test framework - test coverage which other plugins unfortunately lack.

Notice: In this release, the times of durations have changed very slightly to be more accurate. For example, a year is now 365.24 days instead of exactly 365 days. A month is now 30.44 days instead of 30 days.

In addition to the typical change-log, I wanted to recognize others' contributions to this release as well as past releases. While I have taken care of the software, it would not have been possible without the incredibly useful bug reports I receive from everyday users:

  • 4drian3d
  • AGI
  • BumbleTree
  • copyandexecute
  • D3adhkwen
  • Dejay
  • Deactivation
  • hawkfalcon
  • LaurenceBarnes
  • Michael Sykes
  • ox
  • Simon (KoxSosen)
  • SleepingTea
  • tommasobenatti
  • VanironCZ

Above are all the users who have submitted bug reports identifying problems with LibertyBans - If I forgot to add you here, please tell me! I also want to thank FranMC23, for providing the Spanish translation.

Some of these users are even extraordinary, submitting multiple bug reports of high calibre. I'm especially grateful for their thorough and extensive bug descriptions. They are truly honorable people, and they know who they are.

I considered creating some special status of badge of honor to commend the work of the top bug reporters, and to devise some criteria for it. However, I felt this would detract from the grace and selflessness with which honest users report bugs, by turning the process into another competition. Nevertheless, as I believe their work is commendable, and indeed I myself honor them for it, I am open to suggestions for the purpose of providing recognition.

Now, cue the change-log.

Extra: You may have noticed this update comes on September 11, a.k.a "Patriot Day" in the United States. The introduction to LibertyBans on the SpigotMC resource page is intended as a still-to-ripen developing satire.
